Constitution Party Notes: Ballot Access petitioning help needed in Texas and Illinois.
Constitution Party Notes
By Gary Odom
Constitution Party National Field Director
*Chairman Clymer is just back from Alaska where he spoke to the Alaska Independence Party convention. In 2004, the Alaska Independence Party placed the national Constitution Party Presidential ticket on the Alaska ballot and there is a strong possibility that it will choose to do so again in 2008.
*The Constitution Party qualified for the 2008 ballot in South Dakota yesterday and is currently one of three political parties currently recognized in that state: South Dakota Secretary of State. Congratulations to Amy Willis, who coordinated the petition drive, and to all who "made it happen" in South Dakota!
*Ballot Access petitioning has now commenced in the key states of Texas (CP TEXAS) and Illinois (Constitution Party Illinois). Each of these states has a very small window of opportunity (until May 19 in Texas and until June 20 in Illinois) to collect the substantial numbers of signatures needed to get the Constitution Party on the ballot in those states in 2008. If you know anyone in either of these states please urge them to review the above referenced website links for information about how they can help to get the Constitution Party on the ballot in Texas and/or Illinois. This is urgent! Time is short! Your help is needed NOW!
*Ballot Access petitioning is proceeding well in several states and is just about to wrap up in New Mexico, Ohio and Hawaii. In still other states where the party is not presently on the ballot, petitioning will be commencing very soon. For information about the ballot access situation in your state please visit: constitutionparty.com to locate your state Constitution Party affiliate contact information.
*Several more Constitution Party State Conventions are scheduled in the coming weeks: On March 29, 2008 the Constitution Parties of Minnesota, Ohio and Oklahoma will each be meeting. On April 5, 2008, the Constitution Party of Maine will hold its State Convention; followed by similar meetings of state CP affiliates in Virginia and Wisconsin on April 12, 2008. Further details concerning these state conventions will be forthcoming in Constitution Party News and Information.
*The Constitution Party National Convention (as you should all know by now) will take place April 23-26 in Kansas City, MO. You will definitely will want to be part of the action when the CP National Platform is adopted and the Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominees are selected! National Conventions only occur once every four years. You absolutely do not want to miss out on this historic event! For further information about attending the Constitution Party National Convention go to: Constitution Party Events.
* The Constitution Party 2008 ballot access campaign and the Presidential campaign to follow will take money and lots of it. If you want the Constitution Party to be on the ballot in every state and to be able to compete effectively in the fall campaign please consider making the most generous contribution possible today! To contribute online go HERE, or mail contributions to Constitution Party, 23 N. Lime Street, Lancaster, PA 17602.
ADDED BY ME: If we can get ballot access for the CP, we will be able to run Candidates for Senate and Congressional seats as well in states they are unable to run in right now.
absolutely would support CP candidate for pres
I know many people on here have differences in belief on religion. It is the biggest dividing point for people in the Ron Paul supporters and the LP.
But we must not be so foolish to allow the democrats or republicans to get their choices into office this time.
I for one have everything good to say about a president Roy Moore.
He is the type of guy that would have people like Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Walter Williams, Goldwater Jr., Barr and others in his administration!!!
Remember he is the guy that the bush machine attacked...he knows their laundry oh so well. He also is super anti NWO!
That should be our rallying cry this election. Focus on anti NWO battle.
Not fighting amongst ourselves on our beliefs on religion.
We must support a independent that can derail the machine and win.
To do this the republicans that are social conservatives and anti NWO stuff like us all, must unite and go to war to save our country.
Constitution party name
has a good ring to it, but after further review, I am not sure how any Ron Paul supporter could support this party.

Because their preamble is inaccurate there are theocratic flaws throughout their platform. Help people learn this is not the party for restoring our Constitution!
From their preamble:
http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.php#Preamble
"The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States.
This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been and are afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
Now does this really sound like a party that wants to "restore" the constitution?
Now does this really sound like a party that wants to "restore"
the Constitution?
It does to me. I dont find anything to disagree with the Constitution Party about and I am a Ron Paul Supporter. Dr. Paul himself mentioned the Constitution Party as having merit as a 3rd party on Coast to Coast last nite. I am myself getting involved with my local Republican party as a way forward, but others may find it useful to join in with different party group as they are led to do so.
The Ron Paul supporters are a diverse group while the message of Revolution is a unifying one. Some internecine differences exist but the LOVE part of the R[ƎVO˩]UTION makes those differences insignificant in light of the Light itself.
"...Christianity is not a sect or creed which some may profess and others reject; but it is naught else than a life's following of that light of reason which illumines all men. The merit of Christianity is not that it prescribes to men such and such acts, but that it foresees and points out the way by which all mankind must go and does go." - Tolstoy
The light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness was not able to get a hold of it. -John 1.5
Contrary to popular belief:
Razorwind Studios is an official endorser of Ron Paul, and we will live free or die! 14th alternate to MN state!

The founding fathers were athiests and transcendentalists, not christian/catholic.
Ron Paul has said:
I am a Christian and live by Christian principles. As a follower of Jesus, I do have a problem with forcing everyone to hold to every aspect of the NT. However, there are certain things we all can agree are good laws: no murder, no stealing, don't give false testimony , for a few , that come from a Judeo-Christian mindset. I agree with your basic premise, but many may see it as a desire to impose your morals on others.

But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers

So you feel it is OK to our law to restore our government to its Biblical foundations as stated by their party?
I think the my problem with the constituion party is best said by Gary Wood from this link: http://www.nolanchart.com/article1068.html
"Overall I really wanted to embrace this party. Reading through their entire platform there were so many aspects I embrace due to the focus on restoring Constitutional provisions. Many of the platform’s points are well stated and embrace much of the Founder’s legacy which many of us know has been under direct attack for decades. Yet, intermixed within the platform are theocratic considerations due to the foundational belief Jesus Christ is the Creator and the Christian Bible therefore must be intertwined with policies and concepts."
