AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Two third-party political groups in Maine say they are working together on several aspects of their agendas about which they find common ground, including a shared opposition to mandatory vaccination and a desire to cut corporate welfare.

The Green Independent and Libertarian parties of Maine say in a recent joint statement they have “agreed to work together to promote pro-democratic policies and protect individual liberties.” The statement includes 10 policy points, including “end regime change wars” and “teach and enforce our Bill of Rights,” including new training for law enforcement officers.

The two parties say they are “united in our desire for honesty and integrity in our political system.” They say they also “encourage other state parties, and our national parties to follow suit by engaging in mutually respectful dialogue.”
