Constitution Party From Coast to Coast...

Massachusetts CP Gears up for 2010:

Here in Massachusetts thanks to Richard Selfridge, Nick Sumbles and Tom Fallon we have begun a campaign for the 2010 elections. Our goal is to flood the ballot in 2 years with a candidate for every possible seat that will be open. Our grassroots action is going to focus on typically uncontested seats first and then filling in the blanks afterwards. We have candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor with a high potential for recruiting candidates for 2nd congressional and several state seats.

Help Get the Constitution Party On The Ballot In Texas:

A bill has been introduced in Texas to make it easier for political parties to gain ballot access. http://capitolannex.com/2009/01/29/bill-would-make-ballot-access-easier-for-independent-candidates/. Because of lack of ballot access we lost a significant number of votes for our 2008 presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin and his running mate Darrell Castle. Let's be ready in 2012!

Wyoming Student Works to Launch Young Constitutionalists Club on UW Campus:

Jan. 30, 2009 -- The University of Wyoming has clubs on campus dedicated to spreading the word of the Democratic and Republican political parties.
Matt Edwards wants to provide another alternative.
A business major from Cheyenne, Edwards is seeking to establish The Young Constitutionalists, a club that would work to educate students about the Constitution Party (CP), a fledgling third party striving to gain ballot access in Wyoming.
"It's time for the Constitution Party to become a viable option to the status quo in our country," said Edwards, who also serves as a cadet in the Army ROTC program at UW. "When I look at this generation of young people, I see a generation that's hungry for meaning and purpose that wants to see real men and women step up and lead them and believe in them."
The CP, he added, can provide the guidance to help achieve "extraordinary success and heroic behavior" across the United States.
The CP's mission, according to its official Web site at www.constitutionparty.com, is to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election, at all levels of government, of Constitution Party candidates who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States."
The party's goals include limiting the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions and restoring American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations.
Despite little organization in Wyoming, the CP enjoyed much success here in the 2008 general election. The party's presidential candidate, Chuck Baldwin, totaled 1,192 of his nearly 200,000 votes in the Cowboy State. Only voters in Utah, Idaho and Alaska were more supportive of Baldwin, and the CP polled record votes in 27 states.
The CP's 2004 presidential candidate, Michael Anthony Peroutka, received about 144,000 votes -- or 38 percent less than Baldwin.
The Young Constitutionalists at UW will mirror the existing Rocky Mountain Democrats and College Republicans clubs on campus. The club's primary goals will be to spread the CP's message and to train and equip students with the leadership skills needed to succeed in today's world, Edwards said.
For more information or to join the club, contact Edwards by e-mail at medwar19@uwyo.edu or by telephone at (307) 220-1786.

California Constitutionalist, Bill Lussenheide, Runs For Congress, Stands up for American Sovereignty:

EU Threatens USA - Enough Is Enough!
"This week the European Union dared to threaten the United States with "retaliation" if we adopt a planned "Buy American" policy with the $800 Billion stimulus plan earmarked for American goods and services..."

"This coming from the continent that we rescued, at great American cost of lives and capital, from the oppression of Hitler! Additionally we helped Europe rebuild after the war without asking for one thin dime!"

"The EU warnings came in letters to US political leaders in Congress, Timothy Geithner, the Treasury Secretary, and Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State. Almost immediately, political leaders have been back pedaling from a "Buy American" policy."

"How is this situation possible? Our own national sovereignty and self direction are compromised by foreign entities to the extent that they believe they have the right to tell our nation how YOUR tax money is going to be spent! They believe they have a right to get in line for "bailout money" too. It is the unholy banking alliances and trade deals that have been struck over the years that have reduced us to this terrible impotency and compromise...."

"...When elected to Congress, I will wholeheartedly work to restore the dignity of our country. This will include getting foreign governments out of the process in their attempt to control our sovereignty , internal laws, budgets and spending programs. We live under OUR Constitution and are beholden to none except our Creator."

Bill Lussenheide - Candidate US Congress CA-49, will be on the primary ballot of the American Independent Party in California in 2010. Visit his website at: http://www.FaithFamilyFreedoms.blogspot.com
