We are Nebraskans and members of the American Solidarity Party (ASP).
We are pursuing the common good on common ground with common sense.
We believe:
-
- Human life is sacred from conception to natural death, and that the common good – our fulfillment and flourishing as individuals, families and communities at all levels – is only possible through the experience of mutual care and solidarity with all.
-
- The responsibility to act justly belongs to all – now and in the future. Governments should help us do this, especially by safeguarding the basic human and civil rights of all people, including freedom of religion/conscience and the conservation of the natural world that blesses and sustains us.
-
- People from all political points of view must constructively seek common ground from which to pursue a greater experience of local and national unity and vitality. Our current two party system is increasingly divisive, polarized, and intractable, and needs reform.
-
- Economic enterprises and policies should be ordered to the true well-being of individuals, families, and communities, and we must reject “models of economic behavior that undermine human dignity with greed and naked self-interest”. We advocate for an economic system which focuses on creating a society of widespread ownership (sometimes referred to as ‘distributism’) rather than having the effect of degrading the human person as a cog in the machine.
-

which we hold to be vital to human flourishing, for both individuals and communities at all levels. Learn more about these important principles here.
