From the "Who We Are" tab on the web site:

In our opinion, Crucial Issues include: Global terrorism, our national debt, our dependence on foreign oil, the emergence of India and China as strategic competitors and/or allies, nuclear proliferation, global climate change, the corruption of Washington’s lobbying system, the education of our young, the health care of all, and the disappearance of the American Dream for so many of our people.

By contrast, we consider gun control, abortion and gay marriage important issues, worthy of debate and discussion in a free society, but not issues that should dominate or even crowd our national agenda.

In our opinion — since the disintegration of the Soviet Union — our political system seems to have focused more attention on the “important issues” than the “crucial issues.” One result: The political parties have been built to address the interests of their “base” but have failed to address the realities that impact most Americans.

I could not find the US Constitution mentioned anywhere on the web site, but I lost steam after the above comments.

I hear you PTR!

The only thing it gives me hope about Unity08 is that if the two major parties offer up non pro-lifers, which seems very likely, this may offer a pro-life alternative by chance.  I doubt it but who knows.

The Unity08 party wants to have "the people" nominate their ticket ... so, we shall see if "the people" nominate pro-lifers by record.
