| Democratic Party | ||
| This is the official site for the Democratic Party. Current news, information, activities, etc., are available here. Of course, as with all of the party "sites" suggested here, you can assume that the information presented to you (and information left out - called errors of omission), is presented in the best possible light for that party. Still, it is a good idea (both academically and personally) to keep tabs on what the parties are saying and doing, independent of what you think about politics, both objectively and normatively.

| Reform Party | ||
| This is the party which Ross Perot helped organize (and was the ticket under which he ran in the 1996 election). The Reform Party is by no means assured of becoming America's "Third Party", but it is a significant and potentially major force on the American political scene. The official Web-site offers information on the party's principles, state-level news, and other information on party activities and candidates. ( http://www.reformparty.org/ ) | ||

| Libertarian Party | ||
| While the Libertarian Party may not play a major role on the national political stage, its major issues and concerns are only becoming more and more pertinent in current American politics. This official Web-site offers information on the party's philosophy and issue positions, history, recent and upcoming activities, and numerous resources to party activity around the U.S. Note: there is a link to a political quiz, which is the "world's smallest", the very same quiz which was suggested above. Here, however, biased labels such as "are you an economic/personal self-governor" are added to the questions, biasing respondents towards the libertarian perspective. Whether or not you find the libertarian perspective persuasive, you may soon discover that there are an incredible number of Web-resources related to this movement. ( http://www.lp.org/ ) | ||
