Christian Social and Democracy Party USA

Membership is free to this nationwide website as it is a provided service for the purpose of growth. 

All new persons are automatically set to limited until a full profile with a real picture and name are added. Then after completion the person is upgraded to full member status.

All memberships have levels based upon activism.

• Limited - No picture, no name, no introductory paragraph. Disingenuous concerns.
• Membership - Actual person and current picture, real first and last name, a truthful introduction.
• Administration - Meets all the above plus has long time activism in truth and action.

State or your local group might have the same policy or not depending on need, custom, laws, or other variables. If you are starting a local group and want it networked here just use the contact us link at the top.

For the maximum outreach and networking join as many of our groups as possible and add your friends to this network. 

Local 

The party is structured around representative democracy from the local upward to the state and next the national.

For those concerned with the wording "Socialist," it is in the Non-Marxist manner as many were not communists (communards). In fact any Christian grouping is anti-communist by its very nature.

Most groups choose their own name, usually after their location. Only statewide organization with a statewide organizer should rightfully claim such a large area. In some cases it might have to be several organizers i.e. Texas is one such huge state needing many people to bring together folks.

If we look to our European Brothers and Sisters for names in conjunction with "Christian" we also find names like:

• Christian Social ...
• Social Christian ...
• Christian Folk ...
• Christian Peoples' ...
• Christian Democratic ...
• Centrist Democratic & Humanist ...
• Christian Union ...
• Christian Democratic Union ...
• New Democrats ...
• Christian Social Peoples' ...

Any single one of these names are perfectly acceptable and in line with our European examples.

Now that you have given thought to a name, you'll need a website to network with for your area which in many places such a webs.com are free to start and fee based if you become more serious.

To help grow and network let us know where to find your website so we can create a mock page to link to you pages. The more websites we have linked the higher our rating will be.

Next comes the rules, this is normally known as a constitution and/or bylaws (American Socialist Voter is an educational website and is not a party, PAC, or caucus). These help keep order during larger meetings and set everything that moves forward. In other words a legal agreement between you and your group.

A constitution or even standing rules need to be simple enough for all to read yet strong enough to ensure security of the whole group.

Next, make time for a public meeting. All locals should have no less than quarterly meetings.

Peoples' groups by state

State

Same as above, each state organization will need a name and constitution.

A major difference with having a statewide organization is having to create the amount of persons and/or locals that justify having such a claim. We do not want to offend would be members for such a trivial matter. We also have to realize that dealing with others from different parts of our own respective state could have different issues, but equally can bring new insight to ours if we talk under the big tent.

Statewide peoples' groups

National

The national website here for the time being serves as a provided medium to organize Christian Socialists from the grass-roots bottom to the top authority. If one imagines the whole structure think about an upside down pyramid.

A unique sort of idea is that while we have a representative formation it is not the top which commands downward, but the bottom upward. All representatives are required to vote for whatever based on what their respective local gave them to forward. Only those items agreed upon will move up or down the different planks of a platform, event, statement, etc.

It has long been noticed that parties that grow too large and having too many items list at its' top become factional as the spirit of the party takes hold in different internal bodies. To become a big tent, the higher the level of this organization, the tougher it will become to have a top heavy structure. All autonomy and authority comes from the individual members who have taken an activist stand for something.
