The American Party is a conservative party in the United States. Originally called the American Independent Party, it was renamed in 1969 by representatives from 37 states [http://www.theamericanparty.org/historyoftheamericanparty] . Following the 1972 election, the American Party split from the American Independent Party [http://www.politics1.com/parties.htm] . Both of the parties have nominated candidates for the presidency and other offices, although the AIP has considered itself a California affiliate of the Constitution Party. The American Party won its strongest finish in the 1976 presidential election -- nominee Tom Anderson carried 161,000 votes (6th place). The Party has not achieved ballot status in any state since 1996. A copy of their platform can be seen [http://www.theamericanparty.org/americanpartyplatform1200412008 here] .
