Freedom Democrats start with the party every week; it’s fun to get together and just enjoy yourself. It also promises to become as famous as Lincoln’s Republican Party or Washington’s Patriots.

Freedom Democrats fight for two great principles: the right to make up your own mind and live your own life and the transformation of the United Nations into world government. An invitation is extended to people who party, their friends, and people seeking world peace. It also offers a home to all sexes, people who watch porn, people who make it. Do drugs? So what.

Freedom Democrats want drug users to have safe, effective drugs made to the same standards as the drugs you get from your pharmacist. It’s crazy to force drug users to depend on criminals for their supply. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are tightly regulated for public safety. Drug users deserve the same protection: a public health step that will reduce but not end overdose deaths.

World government is considered ambitious, usually bringing smiles closer to pity than fun. The nearly universal reaction is “It ain’t gonna happen.” Fight this pessimism; remember President John F. Kennedy’s admonition about world peace: “Too many of us think it is impossible. Too many think it unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable.”

Obviously, Freedom Democrats will not start a new world government; we will only persuade our government when many others join us. And don’t forget we have little influence over nations like China, Russia, and India that must agree. World government is a huge project, but the reward is immense. Resources are wasted, lives ended, and infrastructure destroyed [by war 9-17] . We must do something. In my view, Freedom Democrats should insert the possibility of world government into the public dialogue, just as the abolitionists made slavery a political issue in the years leading up to the Civil War. Freedom Democrats can end the silence; that’s a task within the means of a new wing of the Democratic Party.

What we are proposing is a coalition of people from the streets and of persons whose gender or sex life is queer joining with the professors and brainiacs pushing for world government. We are talking about pride and possibility. People from the street at these parties will chat with graduate students and veterans who oppose war. Straitlaced will mix with sketchy. This is a political movement, and it includes people with governmental experience and large numbers of people who VOTE; it doesn’t mean we win, but it does mean we can put it on the agenda.

The people who create a world government will be humanity’s greatest benefactors. That is why weekly parties and enjoying the company of strangers should have a political impact and change the conversation about war and peace. By working together, this coalition will bring pride. Sex workers and professors will respect each other. This social cohesion enhances pride and brings new voices into governmental decisions.
