I thought this was a beautiful piece done by AIP member Markham Robinson on William K. Shearer. Kudos to Markham!

We are gathered here together tonight not only to celebrate [...]

Forwarded from CP Field Director, Gary Odom….

It was a big night for the Constitution Party in New York City on Tuesday, July 17! Best selling author, Dr. Jerome Corsi, was the guest of honor at the regular monthly dinner held at the midtown Manhattan Bella Napoli Italian Restaurant, sponsored by the [...]

The president of West View council, who is employed as executive director of West View Water Authority, has begun wearing a third municipal hat—prompting a conflict of interest charge. West View council July 11 appointed Daniel M. Daugherty to one of two vacancies on the West View Water Authority board. The next day, [...]

He wasn’t on the ballot as a Libertarian, but no one can dispute the fact that aligning with Ron Paul and taking advantage of independents helped propel Paul Broun in a Georgia special election for Charlie Norwood’s old congressional seat.

Broun openly touted Ron Paul and libertarian ideals. This is huge. RP might not win the [...]

This is pretty big.

The official press release is available here:

This story is only a couple of weeks old, but due to the sheer silence from both the local and regional press (Dallas Morning News) about it, I figured it was as close to a Phil Smart-arrested story as there ever will be.

But here are the facts (discussion will be on Libertarian Politics Live! tonight [...]

My friend, Michelle Shinghal, (she’s pictured to the left) will be in Las Vegas this weekend, and while there, she’ll have lunch with the Libertarian Party presidential front-runner, Wayne Allyn Root (I know that just drives you guys nuts) to interview him for her LibertarianLady.com blog. Here’s the cool thing though: she wants user-submitted questions [...]

So you’ve decided your state Legislator is a bum and you’re going to do something about it by running for office, eh? If you don’t have a wad of cash lying around, good luck.

If you can’t cough up hundreds of dollars to pay a candidate-filing fee, you do have the option of trying to collect [...]

Alright, well I know both me and this article are going to get slammed in the comments, but I think it’s necessary to post the other side of some of these issues. I know the position of most of you when it comes to immigration and illegal immigration, but here’s another side.

There are very serious Second Amendment-related issues being buzzed about on talk radio (George Nory discussed it on Coast to Coast Friday night), and I really think the three major third parties should say something about it. Libertarians and Constitutionalists are big pro-gun; not sure what the Green Party stance is, but it should concern [...]

Now, I’m not normally one to post information on Ron Paul, but this I did find extremely interesting. From Politics1.com

The Hotline noted that Congressman Ron Paul’s® cash-on-hand tally is not only more than that of US Senator John McCain®—but Paul’s total is also more than the combined cash-on-hand total of Sam Brownback®, Mike Huckabee®, [...]

The bombastic Libertarian/Constitution Party activist Chuck Geshlider – many Libertarians and Constitutionalists know him well – views himself as a front-runner for the Ron Paul vice presidential nod—he said so repeatedly during a campaign “gig” in the Dallas area recently.

Perhaps Geshlider and Daniel Imperato should get together.

I’ll get the video footage and photos up as soon as I get them, but I just have to say this about former Hammer of Truth bloggers Mike Nelson* and Michelle Shinghal: well, for one, Michelle is by far the hottest Libertarian I’ve ever met; two, Mike Nelson is by far the most successful Libertarian [...]

This is a pretty good article on the recent Green national meeting. It includes quick mentions of 10 candidates who claim to be seeking the GP’s Presidential nomination. The group includes several cross-party candidates like Imperato and Jingozian.

Candidates seeking the 2008 Green Party nomination for president were introduced Friday night [...]

A: Lower taxes!

On July 10th, Conservative President 2008 interviewed independent presidential candidate John Bootie:

Why not run for the nomination of a party such as the Constitution Party?

I did try contacting the Constitution Party twice. I emailed them and since there headquartered here in Lancaster, Pa. I called and left a message asking the founder Jim Clymer to [...]

While Winston Salem Mayor Allen Joines brags about including Hispanic residents, including many who are not even here legally, he seems less enthusiastic about recognizing our own country, State and local history and Heritage of many citizens. . .

Jerome Corsi has decided to not accept a draft by the National Veterans Coalition of the Constitution Party to run for the party’s presidential nominee in 2008.

Details here.

From the Constitution Party of Texas today:

Texas Tea Party

A proven method of growing grassroots chapters is to have get togethers at prospects’ homes. Ask them to host a tea party where their responsibility will be to provide light snacks, coffee, and tea (wouldn’t be a tea party without tea).

This is a non-threatening and informal way [...]

First it was the issue of Libertarians involved in 9/11. Tonight’s Libertarian Politics Live! show will feature a Constitution Partyist/Republic of Texas activist with the view that 9/11 “was an inside job,” and his efforts to inform party activists of the issue.

You don’t want to miss it.

In his latest column Justin Raimondo describes Cindy Sheehan as a female Ron Paul with a real chance of defeating Pelosi.

The state has paid anti-war activists and Constitution Party stalwarts David and Suzanne Brownlow $25,000 to drop a federal lawsuit against an Oregon trooper who kicked them off a public sidewalk in December.

Over the weekend I attended a town hall meeting in Jacksonville featuring Rudy Giuliani. A recap of the event is posted on the other blog I write for, Jax Daily. It includes some photos and info on what was discussed at the forum.
