[pp.int.general] American Pirate Party

[Marcus Kesler]

The American Pirate Party is pretty much limited to the United States.
They don't have anything to do with the PP of Canada as far as I know.

While we now have 3 "pirate" parties in the US, none of them will have
any effect unless they get organized at the State level, that's just
the reality in US politics.

I started the process of working for recognition in the State of
Oklahoma (Pirate Party of Oklahoma) under the umbrella of the USPP
(the oldest PP and the one that is registered) and the PPI. But I have
been trying to keep open the door of communication with the APP as far
as Oklahoma is concerned. Let them know that there is already a PP
trying to gain official status in this state, and that we are happy to
have anybody join who is interested.
