On Monday, December 12, 2011 at 2:00 PM, a diverse group of courageous citizens announced the formation of the Justice Party, which is envisioned as a major new political party for decades to come. The Justice Party seeks governing authority at the local, state, Congressional and national levels, beginning in the 2012 election cycle. The Justice Party is being created as a new 21st-century political vehicle to allow all citizens to work together to bring innovative results-oriented, justice-based solutions to the political debate as soon as possible. Rocky Anderson, the former Mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah, was nominated by the Justice Party to support his bid to serve as U.S. President.
