The National Union Alliance, or NUAlliance, is a philosophy and a movement for Americans who are tired of the fight between the two parties. It is not a political party and it runs no candidates. It asks its members to practice seven principles in their own lives, their communities, and their own parties. It is inspired by Jack H. Meyer's 2018 book of the same name.
Is it a political party?
No. Democrats, Republicans, and independents can all belong, and no one is asked to leave their party. Jack H. Meyer's book proposes a new center party. The Alliance today has chosen to be a philosophy and a movement.
Is it left or right?
Neither. The Alliance holds that conservative and liberal ideas each carry part of the truth, and that neither can govern a free people well alone. It asks both sides the same question: what is the other side right about?
What is the in-between?
The in-between is Jack H. Meyer's name for the ground between left and right, where most Americans already stand. He argues that center Democrats and center Republicans have more in common with each other than with their own extremes, and that both parties ignore this consensus because conflict wins elections.
The evidence supports him. In a 2023 Pew Research Center study, 86% of Americans said Republicans and Democrats are more focused on fighting each other than on solving problems. The research group More in Common found that 67% of Americans belong to what it calls the Exhausted Majority.
Why don't more Americans vote outside the two parties?
Most fear their vote will not count. In a September 2025 Gallup survey, 62% of Americans said a third major party is needed, but only 15% said they are very likely to vote for a third-party candidate. 57% were extremely or very concerned about wasting their vote, and 59% about helping the candidate they like least. The Alliance is not a party and runs no candidates. It works to close that gap by making the in-between visible and by backing candidates of any party, or none, who commit to it.

Where does the name come from?
From the National Union Party, the name under which Abraham Lincoln ran for re-election in 1864. It joined Republicans and War Democrats to hold the country together during the Civil War. The Alliance has no connection to that party. It borrows the idea: citizens of different parties, united under broad principles.
Why Delphi?
Delphi was the sanctuary in ancient Greece where the oracle is said to have declared that no one was wiser than Socrates. Two sayings were carved at its temple: Know thyself, and Nothing in excess. The first is where our principles begin, with personal responsibility. The second is the in-between. The Greeks called Delphi the center of the world.
Who is Lincoln Washington?
Lincoln Washington is the Alliance's AI-generated spokesman. He is not a real person. He can't run for office, has no side to win for, and answers to no donor.
How do I take part?
Read the seven principles, hold one honest conversation with someone who votes differently, and sign up to be counted.
