Constitution Party News and Information

Constitution Party of
Missouri Sets Great Example!

The Constitution Party of Missouri has been"on fire" ever since it organized in November of 2006. From the very beginning the Constitution Party's "Show Me" state party affiliate has worked hard and effectively to build a strong, viable state political organization. This quality of leadership was at least a contributing factor in the decision to locate the 2008 Constitution Party National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri.

Upon attaining ballot status in 2008, Missouri's Constitution Party set out immediately to make sure that it would offer Missouri voters a strong choice of candidates for various offices across the state. It certainly succeeded in that effort, including running a full slate of candidates for statewide offices. The Missouri CP was rewarded for its fine efforts when one of its 2008 Statewide candidates succeeded in receiving the requisite percentage of the vote that enable the Constitution Party to remain on the ballot for the
next four years!

The Constitution Party of Missouri is not wasting any time in planning for future success. It continues to lead by example! (See below that it has already scheduled a number of party building events all across the state for December and January)
This is the type of activity that every Constitution Party affiliate should be contemplating, planning and organizing. There has never been a time when the American people have been more receptive to the Constitution Party and its message than now. The national office continues to receive requests for information in record numbers and the phones are still ringing steadily with calls from those interested in joining our party nearly a month after Election Day.

The Baldwin/Castle ticket greatly exceeded the prior Constitution Party Presidential vote total record in 2008 while on the ballot in 37 states. The total likely would have been at least doubled had it been on the ballot in all 50 states and DC. If we want to be in a position to compete at the national level we will need not only to have great candidates, as we had in 2008, but strong party affiliates that are on the ballot in every state.

We also need candidates to run for local and state offices in 2010 (some in 2009). Our vote percentages have been steadily increasing in recent elections and local, legislative and Congressional victories may not be far off--but only if we start working now, all across the country, to make it happen.

The Missouri Constitution Party is doing its part. What is your state Constitution Party affiliate doing to prepare for future victory?

INVITATION:

CPers and PATRIOT FRIENDS


Mark Your Calendars

Attend 1 (or more) of the following

Constitution Party Organizational Meetings

Butler, Bonne Terre, Moscow Mills, Troy, or St. Louis


The times and needs are urgent. We can no longer be armchair patriots and think we will secure our freedoms for ourselves, much less our posterity.

The election has come and gone. Congress is planning a special session to discuss the latest round of the "Bailout Mania", and many Americans are frustrated and angry with the continued betrayal by politicians in all levels of government.

Be assured in the midst of all the chaos and confusion, the Constitution Party is forging ahead with a renewed determination in their mission to restore constitutional law and order to our country.

Gaining ballot access through a petition drive and moving right into the campaign with a slate of candidates consumed most of our time and energy last year. Now we begin the much needed task of organizing our party at the precinct and county levels, the foundation of political parties. With that in mind, we are calling on our members and friends to think seriously about their role in building the only party that is committed to restoring constitutional government.

We are scheduling meetings throughout Missouri during the upcoming months for the purpose of establishing county committees and discussing the vital role they play in advancing the ideas and principles of freedom in their communities.

We encourage you to attend and bring your friends and relatives with you to any of the following:

Former Congressman
John Hostettler


Of Indiana,
To Attend And Address
Constitution Party National
Committee Meeting in Orlando!


Former United States Congressman John Hostettler, of Indiana, will be in attendance at the National Committee meeting of the Constitution Party December 12-13 in Orlando, Florida and has accepted an invitation to speak at the meeting. Hostettler spent 12 years as a member the United States House of Representatives from Indiana's 8th District in southwestern Indiana. He served on the House Commttee on Agriculture (1995-2001); the House Committee on Armed Services (1995-2007); and the House Committee on the Judiciary (2001-2007).House Committee on 1995-2001)
House Committee1995-2007)
The former Republican Congressman supported Chuck Baldwin for President in the 2008 election because he believes the "GOP has lost its way on conservative principles." The subject of his address at the Orlando meeting will be "the fate of 'conservatism' in light of the elections of 2006 and 2008." Constitution Party National Chairman, Jim Clymer, said that former Representative Hostettler's participation at the Constitution Party's National Committee meeting is "exciting news," noting that he had "followed John Hostettler's career for years and have greatly admired the principled stands he took while a Representative in Congress. We are happy to welcome former Representative Hostettler to our National Committee meeting and look very much forward to meeting with him and and having him speak to our National Committee and other guests who will be in attendance."

Mr. Hostettler is the author of a new book about the Iraq War entitled Nothing for the Nation: Who Got What Out of Iraq. The following passage from the preface to the book strongly indicates that his actions on this issue, while a member of the House of Representatives, were entirely consistent with the platform of the Constitution Party:

"...it is incumbent upon conservatives to acknowledge that the conflict in Iraq, which began with the invasion of March 2003, was inconsistent with longstanding principles of the foreign policy of our constitutional republic. I contended as much when I voted against the House resolution that granted President Bush the unconstitutional authority to declare war. I was convinced of it when I learned the true motivation of those who were most invested in selling the case for a "preemptive" strike against the regime of Saddam Hussein."

Featured speakers at the meeting will be Chuck Baldwin and Darrell Castle, the Constitution Party's 2008 nominees for President and Vice-President. The Baldwin/Castle ticket, which was also endorsed by Congressman Ron Paul, set a Constitution Party record for total popular vote, despite unusual circumstances which kept it off the ballot in some large states such as California and Pennsylvania. In the 37 states where the Baldwin/Castle ticket did secure ballot access the Constitution Party vote increased dramatically. Also, while write-in votes have not yet been tabulated in all states, results in those states where those totals have been made public such as Texas, Georgia and Connecticut have revealed significant popular support for the Constitution Party ticket. This bodes well for future elections when the Constitution Party, of course, expects to be on the ballots in all 50 states.

An additional speaking attraction at the Orlando meeting will be party founder and former Presidential nominee, Howard Phillips. Phillips is currently Chairman of The Conservative Caucus, "America's Constitutional Government Action Organization," which has been a leader in the fight to stop the North American Union and now is spearheading the campaign to stop Obama's "Socialist Revolution."

The Constitution Party National Committee meeting will be held December 12-13 in Orlando, Florida, at the Embassy Suites – Orlando Airport, 5835 T.G. Lee Boulevard, Orlando FL 32822. The public is invited to attend. For further details and registration information please visit: http://www.constitutionparty.com/view_events.php .

So, take a break, bring the family, and come to the National Committee meeting in Orlando on December 12 and 13. Meet Constitution Party leaders from around the country, listen in on strategy sessions, and hear great speakers. Don't miss this
important Constitution Party event!
