James Edwards, Director
James Edwards is the most recent public name to be associated with A3P. He hosts the Political Cesspool, a Memphis, Tennessee-based AM and Internet white supremacist radio show. He is also a board member of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens. In a February 20, 2010, interview he conducted with William Johnson on the Political Cesspool, Edwards states that A3P "is America's newest and most promising political party and I'm proud to serve a role in its development." Throughout the interview, Edwards encourages his listeners to get involved with A3P. He says, "We need a political party that will stand up and fight for our people…."
Edwards has long held white supremacist views. The Political Cesspool's mission statement says that the show "represent[s] a philosophy that is pro-White… [and seeks] to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races." Edwards has interviewed a variety of anti-Semites, white supremacists, Holocaust deniers, conspiracy theorists and anti-immigrant leaders. A list of former guests includes anti-Semite and Holocaust denier Willis Carto; Prussian Blue, a neo-Nazi singing duo; anti-Semite Ted Pike; Mark Weber, the director of the Institute for Historical Review; Frank Roman, a founding member of the neo-Nazi European Americans United group and Kevin MacDonald. Show sponsors include the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens and the Institute for Historical Review, a Holocaust denial organization.
In addition to hosting the Political Cesspool, Edwards attends and speaks at extremist gatherings. He has appeared at the gatherings of various white supremacist groups, including the Council of Conservative Citizens, American Renaissance and Stormfront, the largest white supremacist Internet forum. In 2004 and 2005, he attended conferences organized by anti-Semite David Duke.
