The New Party is apparently many local shows with a loose national organization. They are virtually dead in New York, thanks to the merger with New York State Democratic Party vice-chair Dennis Rivera's Majority Coalition, they are virtually dead. In some small and mid-sized cities, though, ACORN types and the better union people are using the New Party to promote their own agenda, with the national platform, such as it is, barely on their minds. Rogers himself has reportedly lost interest in his Party.
