The Gladiolus Party, also known as the Pro Gun Liberal Party: an emerging American political party, currently in its founding phase.
A home for Americans who support gun rights and also believe in affordable healthcare, funded public education, accessible housing, and robust social programs.
Named for the gladiolus, the sword lily: the sword for the Second Amendment and strength, the lily for care, community, and progressive values.
Purple by design: red and blue combined, a home between and beyond the two major parties.
What we aren't
Not the Democratic Party. We share some goals but are independent and critical of both major parties.
Not the Republican Party. We share Second Amendment positions but differ significantly on social policy.
Not Libertarian. We support public funding of social programs and do not hold a strict non-interventionist philosophy.
Not a PAC or front organization.
Not anti-police. We support law enforcement complemented by non-officer services.
Not anti-tax. We support funding schools, healthcare, and social programs; we oppose specific taxes on principle.
Not single-issue. The Second Amendment is central, but the platform is comprehensive.
