We the People (WTP) is a political party representing the very best that the USA has to offer to the world; among its ranks are many soldiers, congresspeople, and former presidents. A leading WTP newspaper is The Stairway, by Hale26.
Origin of the Name
The words "We the People" are the first three words of the actual U.S. constitution, the preamble of which starts: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
The Future
"At the end of the day, WTP is much more than a hunk of 40 gold occupied by 356 people. We are not just a 5th party, a shout feed or a place where ATOers graciously visit every few days.
We are the ill defined future,
A shadow of what lies yet to come,
A social experiment."
—Hale26
