This morning, founders of the LSP released their mission statement:

We want to curve a path for the future generation by providing a well constructed political party. The LSP will have first hand involvement with the community to know the needs and wants of the individuals. This will help get the message out to the government and improve society to regain leadership for our country. It isn’t about making America great again. It isn’t about gaining back America’s former glory. It’s about the lives of the people living in this country right now. We will ensure that their needs are our first priority, before anything else. We will learn from our past mistakes, learn from other countries, so we will no longer put our people down. It is time to change now for a better future!

Interests:

• Pro Education: Lower interest rates for students with loans. Spend more money towards financial aid for all college students and also more scholarship opportunities for them.

Loans – Let students pay loans back based on their income only when they have secured a job and not only after they graduate.

• Pro Immigration: Individuals who seek refuge and legal documentation should have the opportunity to demonstrate why they desire to become permanent residents. Along with each individual’s process for documentation, thorough background checks should be done to discard any criminal involvement.

• Gun Control: Guns should only be allowed to those that have a license to carry when in a situation that could potentially be of use. Such as if their life is at risk.

  •          Thorough background checks on people before the purchase of a gun. Put a limit to what type of guns people can actually buy, and how many they can own. This also goes for the amount of  bullet magazines a licensed person should be allowed to buy.

• Pro Abortion: Women should have the right to decide whether or not to proceed with the pregnancy, regardless if it was desired or through sexual abuse.

• Pro Stem Cell Research:  Start funding more organizations to develop stem cells that could potentially be used to save lives.

• Paid Maternity leave:  Mothers should be given at least four months of paid maternity leave, so that they have enough time to heal and spend time with their newborn.

• Stop Food Waste: Instead of throwing away unused food from stores, they should be donated. No need for people to go hungry!

• Helping the Homeless: Along with the housing systems for the homeless, we should also create programs where we teach them skills for them to get a job.

• Limit Food Stamp: Use background checks to identify those that really need the help and stop those who take advantage of it.

• Stop Outsourcing Jobs to other Countries: Companies should give jobs to people within their own country. We have more than enough capable individuals who need jobs. This way, the percentage of unemployment would also go down.

It looks like the LSP is seriously invested in a grassroots movement that will involve the community in identifying problems that need to be addressed by the government. Notice the subtle but poignant distance the LSP has made from current Republican nominee Trump’s platform of making America Great Again.
