America First Party was founded in tbe early 1990s by A.J. Barker and Ed Fields.[1]

In 1996 they ran Ralph Forbes of London, Arkansas as tbe "America First Party" candidate in tbe 1996 presidential campaign with Pro-Life leader Andy Anderson as his running mate, winning 932 votes.[1] He had tried unsuccessfully to file as tbe candidate of his own Freedom Party.[2]. Forbes had a radically hard-right past, having previously been a campaign manager for David Duke's Populist Party run for tbe Presidency and had also been an officer in tbe American Nazi Party.
