Universal Party

The Universal Party was an American political party that participated in presidential elections between 1964 and 1972, twice under the leadership of Kirby J. Hensley, founder of the Universal Life Church, and for the last time under Gabriel Green, founder of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America. Among other policy planks, the party promoted "cancellation of local, state, and Federal taxes" and the "issue of monies by the Congress for all public ex­penses," as well as "civil treatment for beings from other worlds who may visit this planet."
