Could a third political party be in the making?  As more and more voters think both the Democrats and the Republicans have moved too far away from the values of the Founding Fathers who wrote the US Constitution, talk about a third party is abounding.

Robert Humphries, a retiree who recently became disallusioned with the way the candidates for US President are chosen, has joined with a group called Tennessee Libery Alliance.

Humphries and others in the group are seeking to hold meetings and speak to elected representatives and interested citizens to put a stop to the erosion of, what he says is, American liberty.

Humphries explains, "The Tennessee Liberty Alliance is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that advocates a civil society ordered by limited government and the peaceful exercise of individual freedom. To this end, the TLA functions as an educational and activist organization that works toward revealing government usurpations of power that repress and limit individual sovereignty."

Humphries stopped by the WATO radio station in Oak Ridge last week to appear as a guest on the Ann Walden Show.

Humphries explained the differences in the beliefs of the liberals--usually Democrats; the conservatives-usually Republicans; the Libertarians, and the Authoritarians. Humphries think Barack Obama came to power as a Democrat who is actually an authoritarian who wants to impose limited freedoms on individuals. "Our group does not fit into any of these groups," he said. "We are for more freedeom; against more government."

Humphries told Walden, "Our belief is that the civil liberties of the citizens are steadily and systematically being chipped away by an ever expanding government, and that this monstrosity of a government we have now was not the intention of the founding fathers.

Therefore, it is the belief of the Tennessee Liberty Alliance that our government at all levels has usurped powers not provided it by the constitution creating our republic.  We believe that we must take back these powers from government in order to restore our proud republic to the principles of liberty and freedom for all.

Our mission, quite briefly, is to educate. Educate the people about their government, and just how far it has come from what were the hopes and dreams of the founding fathers. We believe that revolution is necessary, but not one of violence. Instead, a revolution of ideas that will strike to the core of any individual that has felt the empowerment of the freedom of liberty. It will be this revolution of ideas that will have the biggest impact on the status quo. When the people of this land begin to awaken to the idea of what is being, and what already has been taken from them, they will rise up and be a strong voice that will demand real change."
