I know you are new here, so let me enlighten you. There are a ton of other parties out there. You can not force people to join them.

* Republican Party
* Democratic Party
* Libertarian Party
* Constitution Party
* Green Party

These parties have offered candidates in recent elections, but did not in 2004, and they do not have ballot status in enough states in 2008 to win the presidency. Some do not have presidential candidates, but for other offices only.

This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness.
Revisions and sourced additions are welcome.

* America First Party (2002)
* Centrist Party (United States) (2006)
* Independence Party of America (2007)
* Jefferson Republican Party
* Moderate Party (2006) - Founded in Illinois by Bill Scheuer, registered as a party in Florida [1] [2]
* Marijuana Party (2002)
* Party for Socialism and Liberation (2006)
* Peace and Freedom Party (1967) - active primarily in California
* Prohibition Party (1867)
* Reform Party of the United States of America (1995) - currently divided into two factions both using the name of the "Reform Party"
* Socialist Equality Party (1953)
* Socialist Party USA (1973)
* Socialist Workers Party (1938)
* Workers World Party (1959)
* Working Families Party (1998)

Some of these parties have nominated candidates in the past, but have not done so recently for various reasons. Others have not yet nominated any candidates.

This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness.
Revisions and sourced additions are welcome.
