Liberty, Equality & Opportunity
OUR FOUNDATION
MPA believes America should be built around several fundamental principles:
• Constitutional liberty
• Equal justice under law
• Individual ownership
• Personal responsibility
• Scientific and evidence-based government
• Government transparency
• Government accountability
• Corporate accountability
• Strong lawful self-defense
• Competitive capitalism
• Fiscal responsibility
• Strong national defense
• Political competition
• Equal opportunity
• Human dignity
• Freedom of speech
• Freedom of conscience
• Limited but effective government
No person or institution should be above the law.
Not a citizen.
Not a corporation.
Not a billionaire.
Not a politician.
Not a prosecutor.
Not a police officer.
Not a president.
Not a government agency.
Same crime. Same law. Same justice.
20. ACCESS TO JUSTICE
Access to justice should not depend entirely on wealth.
Americans receive emergency medical treatment regardless of whether they can immediately afford a private physician.
Our justice system should move closer to the same principle of meaningful access.
MPA supports:
• Strong public defenders
• Expanded legal aid
• Civil legal assistance where fundamental interests are at stake
• Legal clinics
• Standardized legal forms
• Self-service court systems
• Remote hearings where appropriate
• Lower-cost legal-service models
• Simplified procedures for routine disputes
People should not automatically lose their home, child, freedom, property, or livelihood simply because they could not afford thousands of dollars in legal representation.
61. DISABILITY RIGHTS
Americans with disabilities deserve equal dignity, opportunity, and meaningful access.
Protect:
• Accessibility
• Reasonable accommodation
• Employment opportunity
• Education
• Independent living
• Freedom from unlawful discrimination
Government benefits should be structured so people are not unnecessarily punished for attempting to increase independence.
