Dear Bob,
Thank you for your support of the Constitution Party and for your message about Congressman Ron Paul. Many in our party share your desire to see him become the next President.
The Constitution Party's presidential candidate will be selected at its convention in the spring of 2008. We can't say for sure what will be decided by our convention delegates, but as the party who puts principle above party loyalty, in the unlikely event that Ron Paul is able to capture the Republican nomination, it seems logical that we would stand behind him.
The dilemma we have is that we cannot sit around and wait to see what the Republicans are going to do but must build the ark that true Constitutionalists can find refuge on when it dawns on them that the Republican and Democrat parties will let them drown. To that end we must work to secure ballot access in all 50 states NOW and find a candidate who can carry our principles into a presidential campaign which will more than likely find a left-of-center candidate carrying the Republican mantle.
If the GOP does choose to return to its conservative ideals by supporting Congressman Paul, then there will be ample opportunity to throw our support behind him should our delegates so decide. If he does not win the GOP nomination we will have done much of the work to gain the ballot lines necessary to field a candidate who shares our values and who will govern constitutionally. That candidate could be Ron Paul should he decide to continue his race by seeking the Constitution Party nomination. You can be a part of this history making decision by becoming involved in building the Constitution Party in your state and being selected as a delegate to the national convention.
Kind regards,
Thom Holmes
