Bill Hammons, who lives in Thornton, founded the party in November 2004, the day after that year's presidential election. Today, it has a presence in about 37 states and, according to its website, "is fighting for balanced budgets, term limits, the outlawing of partisan gerrymandering and many other common sense positions."
Hammons spoke with Colorado Matters host Ryan Warner.
