Constitution Party on War & Peace

	Constitution Party on War & Peace

We are unalterably opposed to entangling alliances

The United States is properly a free and sovereign republic which should strive to live in peace with all nations, without interfering in their internal affairs, and without permitting their interference in ours. We are unalterably opposed to entangling alliances--via treaties, or any other form of commitment--which compromise our national sovereignty or commit us to intervention in foreign wars.

steadfastly oppose American participation in any form of world government organization;
call upon the President, and Congress, to terminate United States membership in the United Nations and terminate U.S. participation in all so-called U.N. peace keeping operations;
bar the United Nations, and its subsidiaries, from further operation, including raising of funds, on United States territory.

Constitutional government is not imperial

One of the greatest contributors to deficit spending is war. If the country is to eliminate debt, these United States cannot become gratuitously involved in constant wars. Constitutional government, as the founders envisioned it, was not imperial. It was certainly not contemplated that America would police the world at the taxpayers' expense.
