Seven Principles of the Constitution Party:

Life: For all human beings, from conception to natural death;

Liberty: Freedom of conscience and actions for the self-governed individual;

Family: One husband and one wife with their children as divinely instituted;

Property: Each individual's right to own and steward personal property without government burden;

Constitution: and Bill of Rights interpreted according to the actual intent of the Founding Fathers;

States' Rights: Everything not specifically delegated by the Constitution to the federal government, nor prohibited by the Constitution to the states, is reserved to the states or to the people;

American Sovereignty: American government committed to the protection of the borders, trade, and common defense of Americans, and not entangled in foreign alliances.

Republicans who used to believe that their party represented limited government, fiscal responsibility and individual liberty—who feel abandoned

Bingo! That's EXACTLY why I left the GOP.

Of course, we’re not entertaining the false hope of defeating Obama, but the Constitution Party represents a long-term movement.

Fellow Tea Partiers... your voice will be heard and heeded in the Constitution Party!

I will wait to see which of those four is the nominee.

Good deal. ANY one of these four would be better than Obama or his RINO white half.

Is the theme this year “Profiles In Irrelevancy,” or “Dare to Distract”?

Wow. I wish I had given them a serious look before now. Their principles are right on target. I’ll have to see what kind of organization they have in Texas.

It’s a great idea for 2016. This year, the best it could do would be to assure Obama victories in battleground states, and what do we get?

I’m a Buckeye. Their Attorney General candidate took over 200,000 votes last cycle....impressive.

They are the future conservative party of America.

The same as oil independence and drilling.

We begin building a new party today or we are 4 years behind if we try to begin 4 years later.

Shock the System!

Say NO WAY to the Inside the Beltway Elitists who believe they control the nation through their rotating 2 party system!

Oh, great! Another opportunity to splinter the non-Demo electorate and insure another term for ‘the imposter’.

LOL, no they're not. They support things like a protectionist trade police with high tariffs, a Ron Paul like foreign policy, etc.

The Constitution Party will likely get the same (or worse than) .15% of the vote it got last time around. Because this year will be a referendum on a fairly unpopular incumbent president, my guess is the Constitution Party will even do worse.

HOW FORTUNATE

George Clymer (March 16, 1739 – January 24, 1813)

was an American politician and founding father.

He was one of the first Patriots to advocate complete independence from Britain.

As a Pennsylvania representative, George Clymer was, along with five others, a signatory of both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. He attended the Continental Congress, and served in political office until the end of his life.

The US Constitution, Article I, Section 8:

Section. 8.The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Duties, Imposts, and Excises are tariffs and are among the CONSTITUTIONAL way to raise funds as spelled out by the Founders of our Republic.

As an advocate of the US Constitution, it must be the rulebook by which we operate.
