Neale Donald Walsch's Statement of Support for the Natural Law Party

About Neale Donald Walsch
The EDGE Interview with Neale Walsch

"I consider myself to be politically very well informed, but until I read
Robert Roth's book, The Natural Law Party: A REASON TO VOTE, I had no
idea how the Republicans and Democrats have blatantly and consistently
violated the very spirit of our country's tradition of democracy for
which they claim to stand, making it virtually impossible for Third
Party organizations or candidates to effectively engage the American
political process. 

Having continually thwarted any attempt by Third Party candidates to
present themselves to the electorate in a viable way, the two parties
then assert that it is necessary to eliminate Third Party candidates
from debates, joint television appearances and other forums and
activities that should be open to all -- by claiming that they are not
viable candidates. The level of this hypocrisy is shocking. 

That Americans have indulged this silencing of their voice for so long
is the real shocker.  I am certain that it is because most people do not
know the extent to which their rights under our founding political
mandate have been denied. 

It might be argued that none of this would matter a great deal if we
were all satisfied with our current reality, but when the vast majority
of Americans are deeply unhappy with their political system and the
values which run their government, not to be able to do anything about
it produces a palpable national frustration, leading from disappointment
to anger to apathy -- and that is the death knell of any democracy.

We have run out of time on this issue.  That is why I am supporting and
joining the efforts of the Natural Law Party to reopen the American
political process and reform the democratic system, to provide our
citizens with true choice once again.  I have chosen this particular
party because I profoundly agree with the basis of its positions on the
major issues confronting the human family -- a basis in natural law. 

To me the term Natural Law means the ordinary and exquisite
functioning of the Universe when it is left to its own devices.  Can
such universal life principles be applied in any practical way to a
human system of politics and governance?  The answer is, profoundly,
yes.  Indeed, it is the ignoring of such basic laws and principles which
leads to our peril. 

I believe that The Natural Law Party: A REASON TO VOTE to be one of the
most important books of the latter part of the twentieth century.  It
infuriated me; it enlightened me.  I believe the Natural Law Party is
the political mechanism of choice for decades to come.

I am proud to take a political stand in America at this crucial stage in
our history.  Proud because the Natural Law Party gives me a party, a
political philosophy, and candidates of which I can be proud -- and with
which my soul deeply agrees.  It has been a very long time since I have
been able to say that."
