“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” – Lao Tzu
The New Directions Party is dedicated to a new America where abortion is not a legal debate, guns are monitored more strictly, immigrants are not discriminated against, and everyone is able to marry the person of their choice. We believe that the government should not be involved in a woman's decision to have an abortion nor a person's decision to marry someone of the same sex. The government should, however, be involved in aiding immigrants in the process of becoming legal citizens and in creating more laws to control the amount of firearms that are owned by the common person. Our slogan is a quote by a very intelligent philosopher and poet, Lao Tzu. This is our slogan because we believe that the current laws are not doing anything to help society. Women are frowned upon for deciding to have an abortion, men and women are harassed due to their sexual orientation, people are dying because ofunnecessary gun violence, and immigrants are treated unfairly. If America does not make changes in the way these issues are being handled, there will be no progress in the near future. America needs to make these decisions that will lead the country into new directions.
