“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”
–J.K. Rowling

3. Values and Beliefs
• The Amity Party believes in a respectful
society.
• We believe no one should be denied health
insurance, job opportunities, scholastic
opportunities etc., because of race, gender,
sexuality, religion, age, etc.
• We believe everyone has a right to be
heard.
• We believe in justice and equality.
• We believe in protecting our people is a
major priority.
• We believe in less government
dependency, and more self efficiency.
• We believe people are entitled to basic
human right.
• We believe in the care of our fellow human
beings.

4. National Defense
• The amity party seeks to
ensure a strong unified
military.
• We believe in protecting
US citizens by avoiding
foreign affairs as much as
possible.
• We believe in fighting only
if it self-defense.
• We do not believe in
terrorism on innocent
people.

5. International Relations
• The Amity Party
believes in unity and
the fellowship of
mankind.
• We believe in securing
strong trustworthy
relationships with our
allies.

6. Criminal Law
We believe in eliminating laws
that ban marijuana, and
regulating marijuana the way
tobacco and alcohol are
maintained, by doing so this will
create jobs and economic
opportunities. We do believe in
regulating marijuana just as
tobacco and alcohol are
regulated. This will reduce
corrections and court costs, and
state and local governments
benefit from a brand new tax
revenue.

7. Criminal Law
• We believe in the right to
self defense, similar to the
Libertarian’s view on self-defense.
The Amity Party
believes individuals should
be entitled to own firearm.
• The Amity Party believes
that criminals should be
fully responsible for their
actions, and should be held
accountable for property
damages, medical bills, etc.

8. The Environment
• We believe in a healthier, greener
environment.
• By creating more renewable energy
source jobs, we will kill two birds
with one stone by boosting the
economy, and creating a greener
society.
• We also believe in the protection
of wildlife, this includes
establishing much more
sanctuaries and reserves for
endangered animals, after all we
took their land, it’s the least we
can do.
• Anti-pollution laws are also a
strong belief in the Amity Party.

9. Marriage and Divorce
• We Amitians believe marriage and
divorce should be between two
people, not the government.
• By eliminating government from
marriage, homosexual couples will be
able to freely marry who they please
without having to wait for same-sex
marriage laws to be passed.
• We believe marriage should not be
defined, just as we believe love
should not be defined. It is what you
make it, not the default definition of
what the government tells you
marriage is.
• We believe if two people want a
divorce there shouldn’t be long
dragged out rules and guidelines.
Divorce should be as simple as
marriage.

10. Health Care
• We aim to eliminate insurance
companies dropping
individuals due to preexisting
conditions, or conditions that
arise while under a certain
insurance plan.
• We believe no individual
should be denied coverage
based on gender, sex, race,
income, marital status, age,
etc.
• It is safe to say health
insurance costs are through
the roof. By putting in place a
plan to eliminate the
overpriced cost of insurance,
more people will be covered.

11. Taxation
• We believe in cutting taxes, and
establishing more private
organizations.
• By establishing more private
organizations, we can prosper
in more than just the
economical aspect of society.
• Instead of putting money into
the government, money would
go towards private
organizations that would do a
better job at what they do then
the government.
• This would allow people to give
back to every day people just
like them, not the wealthy
greedy government.

12. Immigration
• Immigration is a growing problem in
America.
• The Amity Party seeks to change immigration
laws.
• We believe that people coming to America
to make a better life for their families and
themselves is not a crime.
• However, we do believe in keeping current
U.S. citizens safe, and we are aware that
foreign countries do not have the best health
care, or immunizations to provide for their
people.
• We do not wish to abolish immigration laws,
but regulate them in a positive manner.
• The Amity Party believes in equality, so by
establishing new immigration reforms, like
providing immunizations to immigrants
coming into the U.S., we allow people to
come here without spreading foreign
diseases, and allow immigrants an equal
opportunity at life.
