Thank you for your interest in the Constitution
Party! We welcome you to the growing list of Americans
who are seeking a political home and one that will return our country to a
Constitutional Republic that our founding fathers would
recognize.
As the date of the Constitution Party National
Convention (April 23-26 in Kansas City, Missouri) approaches, several
prominent Americans have expressed an openness to considering the
possibility of seeking the Constitution Party Presidential
nomination. Among those are former United States Senator
Bob Smith; former Alabama Chief Justice, Roy
Moore; the 2004 Vice-Presidential Nominee of the Constitution
Party, Chuck Baldwin; WorldNetDaily. com writer and
author of the best selling "The Late, Great USA", Dr. Jerome
Corsi; and former Ambassador to the United Nations,
Alan Keyes. This is is not a closed list and it is
possible that there may still be others who
are considering the possibility of seeking the 2008 Constitution
Party nomination.
Senator Smith recently wrote an excellent
and exclusive "call to action" article for Constitution Party
website, entitled, "It's the Constitution, Stupid!" That
article can be found
here.
Regardless of who emerges as the eventual Constitution
Party nominee, one thing is certain: He will need to be
on the ballot in states all across the country in order to wage
a successful campaign! The Constitution Party is making excellent
progress in its 2008 ballot access campaign. It is currently
already on the ballot in 15 states. That puts it well ahead of
where we were this time in 2004! We are
nearly finished with petition drives in Ohio and South Dakota and are
making excellent progress in West Virginia and New Mexico as
well. Petitioning has now commenced in a number
of other states.
What most
people don't realize is that the ballot access petition campaign is a
very expensive process. While we certainly do receive
volunteer participation in our ballot petition drives from
Constitution Party members and supporters in the various states, the
great bulk of the work is, of necessity, done by paid professional
petitioners. That means that just getting on the ballot can be a
very expensive proposition. Without ballot access, however, the
effort can go nowhere. Therefore, it is essential that
the Constitution Party adequately fund its ballot effort so that
we can be assured of having a Constitution Party Presidential candidate on
the ballot in every state in the nation. (Click

face.)
While we
have made an excellent beginning on our ballot access campaign, the fact
is that your financial help is urgently needed NOW if the
Constitution Party is going to be able to continue to make progress in
placing its Presidential ticket on all of the state ballots. We
do not receive funding from corporate PAC's, lobbies or other special
interests. We depend on the average American. We depend on
YOU! Won't you please help this effort, TODAY, so that we can be
sure of giving the American people a real Constitutional choice in
2008.

Answers to any questions you have about our party's
positions can be found in our Platform, which is located on our website
here. A comparison between the strengths of the Constitution Party and other political parties is detailed in the article "We Will be Heard" by our National Chairman, Jim Clymer. The Constitution Party is the 3rd largest political party in the country in terms of voter registration (see this report: http://www.ballot-access.org/2006/070106.html#11 )
As you can
see on the chart named "Mid 2006 Registration Totals" at the Ballot-Access
News website, the Constitution Party has more registered voters than the
Libertarian, Green or Reform parties that you've heard more
about.

America Needs a Third Party" from our

ADDENDUM It's straight from the horse's mouth: Ron
Paul confirms that he will NOT run a Third Party campaign in
2008 and that he will remain in the GOP.
We owe Dr. Paul a very great debt of
gratitude for all he has done to revive and energize interest in freedom
and our US Constitution, and also for now freeing us from any
illusions as to his course of action for the remainder
of 2008.
Hopefully, this will now serve to allow
those in our party who put their heart and soul into supporting Ron Paul
to re-focus on what we must do to make sure that there is
a Constitution Party choice on the ballot in all 50 states in
November!
Please read Chuck Baldwin's recent article,
"McCain Madness."

The three final paragraphs of the
article now take on even more significance.
There is
still hope for America...the Constitution Party!
In
the words of former New Hampshire Senator, Bob Smith, from the
conclusion of his recent exclusive article for the Constitution Party
national website:
"We can take our republic back. Are you ready? I am! Let's do it!" Gary Odom
