Changes

==After 2000==

With the withdrawal of Ross Perot's leadership and financial support and Jesse Ventura's successful Minnesota chapter from the party, the Reform Party fell on hard times. Many of Buchanan's supporters also left the Reform Party immediately after the 2000 election to form the short-lived [[America First Party]]. By 2004 what was left of the Reform Party chose to endorse the independent campaign of [[Ralph Nader]] rather than nominate their own candidate. An additional split occurred in 2006 with two separate conventions each claiming to be the official Reform Party convention.
