The Conservative Forum of Silicon Valley Statement on Third Parties
Some in the nation have talked about the formation of a third political party based on conservative and or tea party principles. The Conservative Forum Officers and Executive Committee members will not support attempts to form a third party. Additionally, we believe that such efforts, even those that might be well intentioned, are unproductive and unwise at this time.
