Navigating Covid-19 But Leaving Americans' Liberties Intact

A Response to the Crisis by the Constitution Party

 

In the management of the current national crisis involving the Covid-19 virus, the actions of the Federal Government are unprecedented and violate the Constitution of the United States in many ways.

First and foremost though, our hearts and prayers go out to our fellow Americans who have lost loved ones and friends the past few months, either from the virus itself or in other ways related to the virus, including those suffering from depression or something similar and whose lives ended tragically too soon. The government’s cure is certainly proving to be more deadly than the disease.

Secondly, the Federal Reserve has been unconstitutional since its creation, thus the entire bailout is also unconstitutional. For 27 years, the Constitution Party has supported an audit and abolishment of the Federal Reserve.

The following unconstitutional actions serve to illustrate that the precedent has been set that the Federal Government can without limit, do anything it wants to do.

  • Trillions have been allocated to bailout failing corporations. Capitalism as an economic system has ended because for Capitalism to succeed, corporations must be allowed to fail.
  • The economy is in lockdown forcing many businesses to close, resulting in mass unemployment. Businesses both large and small are reduced to going before the Federal Government as beggars in hopes of being handed a way to keep the American workers employed.
  • American citizens are ordered to shelter at home and the order is enforced by armed police.
  • Houses of worship are ordered to close with some pastors arrested for violating the order.

 

The Federal Government has taken control of the free market so that now the Federal Government is the market. The Federal Government, with its trillions of new monetary input, is now approximately 50% of GDP so in effect, the Federal Government is the market.

In fairness to the Federal Government, this is an unprecedented and problematic time. Difficult choices must be faced. Save the economy by lifting the stay-at-home orders or save the weak and elderly by continuing the stay-at-home orders long term. A predicted 30% drop in American GDP this quarter represents a reduced lifestyle as well as the impoverishment of millions of people. It will also end their hopes, dreams and aspiration for the future. Mass unemployment is a public health concern since calamities such as depression, stress related disease and suicide always increase. On the other hand, to ignore the danger to the weak and elderly is not a part of the American DNA.

Should the Constitution Party follow suit with the other political parties and second guess the President of the United States as he tries to manage this national crisis? Perhaps the Swedes have something to offer us. They have elected to keep their economy going and enforce social distancing only on the most vulnerable. The young and healthy are working, interacting and thereby building herd immunity. Their system is designed to survive long term, not just for a couple of months. As a result, Swedish GDP is predicted to fall only 4% this quarter.

The United States has a Constitution for a reason, and if our elected officials abide by its restrictions,

  • Capitalism would succeed as weak corporations would be allowed to fail and be replaced with stronger corporations. The Free Market would return.
  • Mass unemployment would return to near full employment
  • The weak and elderly could protect themselves by staying separated from those who might carry a disease that would be harmful to them, much as they do during regular flu season.
  • Government would stay out of the business of the churches, synagogues and mosques.

 

An interesting thing about all this has been the return, however slight, of the concept of federalism which is the founders concept that sovereignty resided in the states, and the federal government had only the powers ceded to it by the states.

The governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem said, “The people themselves are primarily responsible for their safety.” She quoted both the state and federal Constitutions as restricting her ability to issue a stay at home order.  Governor Noem is opposed in her view by Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, who seems to have taken totalitarian rule to a new level. Michigan residents are forbidden to travel to their own property within the state. The people of Michigan cannot legally buy seeds or garden equipment, and neither can they buy a car seat for their child’s safety. None of those things are considered essential by the governor.

These examples show Federalism in action versus a one-size fits all approach from Washington DC. It is worth giving President Trump credit for his restraint against issuing a nationwide stay-at-home order because, in his words, “we have a U.S. Constitution” so State and Local governments can best determine what works in their communities.

And finally, the solution to the COVID-19 Pandemic, and any others coming our way in the future, is to FEAR NOT. Fear has always been the tool used most effectively by those who want to rule the entire world and it is fear of catching the virus that has caused most of our fellow Americans to willingly give up their lives and constitutionally protected liberties which were endowed to us by the Creator.

As a responsible political party, we must be willing to tell the Federal Government that there is a better way – the protection of individual rights and a strong economy through the United States Constitution.

Election Victories in PA and UT

Bob Goodrich, state chairman of the Pennsylvania Constitution Party, was elected as Township Supervisor in Osceola Township, Tioga County. It was a most unusual race and I thought I would let Bob share the story in his own words below:

“A local citizen pushed hard during the "R" and "D" primaries, and I ended up winning both primaries as a write-in candidate. However, I was challenged because there are several Goodriches in the community and in the neighboring townships; also, my real name is Alan, but I go by Bob. So, this was used to challenge me off the ballot. That wasn't a big deal because I turned around and collected the signatures to get on the ballot as a Constitution Party candidate. So, I was on the ballot as a CP candidate, and consequently, the "D" and "R" did not have a candidate on the ballot at all because I had won both primaries as a write-in. You would have thought that if I had been removed from the ballot, the next highest vote-getter in the primary would have been on the ballot. But neither party had a candidate on the ballot.

Now, for the election. At the last minute, the "R" mounted a write-in campaign. I ended up with 170 votes and their write-in candidate had 21, which is quite a significant win. The "D" did not push for a write-in campaign, and did not collect any votes.”

Other victories were achieved in the State of Utah where Bryce Hamilton, state chairman of the Constitution Party, was re-elected to the Duchesne City Council as was fellow party member, Jason Baker. The current mayor and one other sitting council member were not up for re-election and both are Constitution Party members. With the mayor and three of five council members the party now has the majority vote in the City of Duchesne. It has taken at least six years for all of this to transpire, but it is the work of Bryce that has made this all possible. The fact that neither candidate was opposed speaks well of them.

Sherry Phipps, the bookkeeper for our national party, also ran for city council in Brigham City, a city of about 20,000. She placed fourth of eight candidates in the primary election. There were six candidates on the November ballot, three of whom were elected. Although Sherry did not win, she did remarkably well.

Electing our people to local office is key to the long-term growth and success of the party. It is at that level that our people gain experience which prepares them to run for even higher level local and state offices. The catch 22 has always been that in order to run for local partisan office, the party must be ballot qualified. That means that we must run at least one candidate for state wide office and that candidate must receive a given percentage of the vote for the party to maintain ballot status. Failure to achieve that percentage means the party has to repeat the expensive and time-consuming process of regaining ballot access again.

In some states, even though the party has ballot status, signatures are still required for a state wide candidate to run for office. That fact alone makes it critical that the party always have a presidential candidate since federal laws override some requirements for non-federal state wide office.

Two Candidates Have Formally Announced to Run for President

Two candidates have formally announced that they intend to seek the presidential nomination of the Constitution Party at the national convention April 29th to May 2nd, 2020.

Don Blankenship of West Virginia, former CEO of Massey Energy, announced in a national press release that he is seeking the 2020 presidential nomination of the Constitution Party. He had earlier announced his willingness to serve as the party’s nominee during his address at the party’s semi-annual national committee meeting in Pittsburgh on October 19th. The news of his announcement was carried by the Associated Press. Some time ago Don was interviewed by Dave Sussman on Whiskey Politico. I would encourage you to view the video and share it with others to get better acquainted with his battle against corruption at high levels in state and national government.

Then, I received an email followed by a phone call from Charles Kraut of Virginia informing me that he too intended to seek the presidential nomination of the party. Charles has a back ground with the CIA and is a financial adviser. He has addressed the CP national committee members on more than one occasion. It is encouraging to have two qualified candidates filing to seek the party’s nomination this early. Other candidates have indicated their interest in seeking the party’s nomination, but as of this writing only Blankenship and Kraut have given notice of filing with the FEC.

With candidates filing notice of their intent to run for the office of president, it is imperative that we launch our strategy to achieve ballot access in sufficient states to achieve the electoral numbers necessary to win the presidency. Reaching our goal is achievable, but costly! We urge you to donate generously to the ballot access effort now and plan to invest monthly whatever you are able to during the next ten months. What happened in Pennsylvania shows us that people are totally dissatisfied with the failed leadership in both parties. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity!

National Committee Meeting in Pittsburgh a Huge Success

The national committee meeting in Pittsburgh was well attended. The speakers at the Training Session on Friday and at the National Committee meeting on Saturday were all outstanding. Trent England, a young millennial, addressed the dangers of the Popular Vote vs the Electoral College issue. He was the keynote speaker at the Friday night Banquet and addressed the national committee members on Saturday as well. We could have listened to him longer, but time just did not permit.

Two new Millennial members to the party also spoke. Tyler Breen, a young man from Pennsylvania, shared his vision of reaching Millennials with his unique style of humorous but hard-hitting facts in his video podcasts. You may view his videos on our Facebook page. Kevin Paulson spoke about his involvement in politics and his experience of successfully making it through the primary for a council seat in Salt Lake City on a very low budget.

There were several other speakers. The talks were recorded and all will be put on YouTube as soon as the editing can be completed.

CP Voter Registration in New Jersey Hits a New High

The State of New Jersey recently reported their statewide voter registration by party. Those who registered as Constitution Party totaled 15,603. This was an increase of over 500 new party registrants over the month of October. Those who registered as Libertarian totaled 15,816 and those who registered as Green Party totaled 10,606. Those are remarkable numbers for a blue state. Congratulations to the party leaders in that state.

Once again, I urge you to click on the link below and donate whatever amount you can to help us move forward in gaining ballot access in more states.

My sincere thanks to all of you for your continued support and dedication to the cause of Liberty.

When Will Patriots Retake Our Cities?

I’m a Notary Public. I meet all kinds of people, every day, from all over the country. I like meeting them because I like to hear people’s stories. Today, I met a very interesting woman. She’s originally from Texas but had been living in California for an extended period of time before retiring in Utah. We had a very interesting conversation in which she lamented the influx of California leftists into the Salt Lake Valley. She talked about California once being a great place. I knew this, myself, as I lived in San Jose when I was young. She talked about how insane that state has gone. Especially its big cities.

This conversation took me back to news items I have been following over the past few months. The explosion in homelessness. The drug epidemic. The trash. The feces on the street. And now, the rats.

Rats have always been an issue in the cities. But with the explosion in homelessness and the breakdown of fundamental city services like the vagrants being arrested, jailed, or run out of town, the generally lax attitude towards public use of hard drugs, and the dysfunctional sanitation services in these leftist strongholds, the rats have moved in, and are absolutely taking over.

Citizens of these places ranging from small business owners to court officials and even city council members have reported being unable to go in and out of their places of employment safely due to violent, deranged homeless vagrants and rats. City council members are starting to be hospitalized with cases of Typhus. There are even reports that up to 1.5% of the rat population carries the Bubonic Plague. That’s the Black Plague, for those of you who don’t know. THE BLACK PLAGUE! How is that possible? How awful is the administration of these places when medieval diseases and diseases typically only found in the worst slums of the third world are spreading through OUR cities?

California is in crisis. Is there any question about that? Is there any doubt? I don’t think so. And it’s not only California. Every one of our major cities is in crisis. Almost all of our big cities have had a democrat majority in power for an extended period of time. And almost each and everyone one of them is in an utter state of collapse. Every. Single. One. Name one city, if you can, that is run by leftists or RINOs (Republican In Name Only) that is not in a state of total ruin. And the worst part is that many of these places have either democrat majorities or even SUPERMAJORITIES. And yet, they still can’t figure out how to solve these problems. Even with the ability to rubber-stamp any proposal they want to try to solve the problems.

What’s worse? These places are exporting their abhorrent ideologies to smaller mid-sized cities now. The people that voted these catastrophes into office are moving away to escape them, and they are bringing their politics and culture with them.

As bleak as all of this sounds, it’s actually not a negative.

At least not for us. Not for our kind. The patriotic stock that is, in fact, the silent majority of this country. How could I even dare to say that the absolute downfall of our cities is not a bad thing? I say this because it proves two things.

Number 1: The exodus of these people from these places demonstrates without a doubt the total failure of the leftists that run them. And number 2: The fact that people don’t believe the Republicans are any better, and so don’t vote them in despite the failure of the democrats. People all across the country, and from all political stripes, are waking up to the fact that both of our major political parties are shot through with corruption. Conservative Americans may still vote by and large for Republicans, but that’s because the majority of Americans doing so are simply voting along party lines. They don’t want to vote for third party candidates because they are convinced that third parties don’t have a chance at winning. But this gives us an opportunity.

By spreading the message of Liberty, Integrity, and Prosperity, we can convince these people to abandon the parties that long ago abandoned them. It is not inevitable that these gross facsimiles of the parties we grew up with retain power. It only requires us to act for them to fall from their ivory towers.

We need to take back our cities.

I’ve said numerous times before that we are either in, or rapidly approaching the onset of civil war. And this is still true. Even since my last communication, the number of people who believe this to be the case has grown. As the radical left continues on their path to pure insanity, and as the Republicans continue to be completely ineffective at stopping them, the hairline fractures that have always existed in our “diverse” country are being pried wide open.

But this is not a message of despair. It’s a message of hope. It’s an acknowledgment that our political process is swiftly breaking down. But it’s also an acknowledgment that this breakdown of our civil, political, and societal institutions gives us an opening. The iron-grip on power that both political parties enjoyed for so long is now rusted, scaly, and cracking. It wouldn’t take much for us to collectively pry their iron-fist from its grip on power and open it up for We The People to put that power back into the hands of every citizen of this country equally, as it was intended to be.

We have to start with places like California.

I’ve heard people joke about letting California simply drift off and secede from the Union. What kind of patriot would seriously suggest giving up territory that belongs to US to illegal invaders, mentally ill socialists, and armies of drug-addled zombies? Why would ANY patriot admit defeat like that, before even putting up a fight? We have to raise up candidates from the grassroots of our nation, fund their campaigns, put them in the halls of power, and wield the constitution like the weapon of The People that it was meant to be to deport the invaders, clean up the politics, assert the dominance of our language and culture, and rebuild our great population centers. We have the opportunity to head off national catastrophe by being the example that lights the way back to a constitutional way of life.

We have a once in a century opportunity to wrest power away from the corrupt elites, return the Constitution to its place of primacy, and restore the vision that the Founders had for us.

We have but to shake off the seductive tendency towards the bystander effect and put our collective feet down. There are more of us than you think. We have been cowed into silence by decades of social engineering schemes concocted by the left. Our so-called “conservative” leaders have utterly failed to conserve anything about our society. But we, the silent majority, are vast in number, and as we wake up and raise our eyes to the disaster that our nation has become, we are growing a resolve deep in our hearts to retake our nation and tear the tyrants down from their gilded ivory towers.

It starts now. And it starts by raising the funds, raising the candidates, and spreading the message.

Do your part to ensure victory by continuing your generous donations to fund our operations. Go above and beyond by submitting your name as a candidate for office in your local area.

Let’s show the corrupt elite that, despite what they may think, they DO NOT own us, and they DO NOT control us. THEY rule at OUR pleasure. And we ARE NOT pleased. Let them know that we WILL NOT idly stand by as their infection creeps from city to city.

Their ideologies are the cancer. We are the cure. Now let’s go cure the disease growing in our cities.

The Hidden Threat

Donations are rolling in, faster and stronger with each conversation we have. And we of the Constitution Party could not be more grateful. Your gifts make it possible for us to not only continue to fight for Liberty, Integrity, and Prosperity but to expand our operations and march onward towards the restoration of our republic.

Every day patriots around the country continue to raise their faces and behold, with newly opened eyes, the crisis all around us. They cry righteous tears at the horror and devastation they witness daily.

We are seeking patriots to join us; growing our ranks, to be the strength in our arm, the knowledge in our mind, and the wisdom in our heart. For the continued restoration of our republic and the safety and well-being of our children and our children’s children, we, of noble soul and patriotic mind, MUST step forward from among the crowd. From many, we MUST become one. However, we MUST NOT fall victim to the hidden threat. We mustn’t let the bystander effect sap our will to action and turn us from taking our rightful roles within the leadership of our towns and cities.

At this point in our history, only a party that reveres the Constitution and the freedoms it affirms for us has the legitimacy to rule. We all know that. While the traitorous Democrats and Republicans continue to discuss curtailing our rights, the threats that prove the need for our rights continue to grow.

The bystander-effect. What a strange concept. Many of you have probably heard of this, before, but not all of you may know what it means.

Open your mind and imagine if you will.

You are witness to a car accident. Among the flames and wreckage, you see the shapes of people. Not knowing if the people trapped within are capable of getting out on their own, the urge to step forth and render aide wells up from somewhere deep inside you.

You suck in a deep breath. Your body tenses up, and you prepare to take the plunge. You are ready to be that good Samaritan that you know you should be. Willing to risk injury or even death to help your fellow Man. But then, as you prepare to step forth, you notice that a crowd has gathered. People have their cellphones in hand. You are sure that among them, someone is dialing the police. Right? And, it crosses your mind that somewhere in the crowd is another good Samaritan and one that is physically capable of helping more than you are. You get the sense that your help is not as needed as you thought it was, and you step back into the crowd, sure that support is on the way.

The problem, however, is that most everyone else there is thinking the same thing. “I know that I should help, but with so many people here, I’m sure someone else is already working on it.” And so, the wreck burns. Gradually, as the people standing passively around you capture video of the horror unfolding before you, the motion of those trapped within becomes still. All at once, everyone watching realizes the tragedy that has just befallen the scene.

A thick, sickening feeling falls over the crowd as they realize that, had anyone acted on their first instincts, the result would have been dramatically different. The guilt of knowing that you failed in your duty to step forward settles like concrete in your heart. It weighs you down. As time goes on, this weight doesn’t lessen. It grows. The knowledge that you had but to step forth, reach out your hand, and tragedy could have been averted slowly poisons your disposition, like mercury in cheap tooth fillings.

Our nation is crumbling around us. We all cry out for a hero to step forward and right all the wrongs, to bring justice to the evil parasites that have taken up residence in the soul of our nation, sapping it of its vitality and vigor. We know in our heart of hearts that we have but to reach out, seize the steering wheel, and turn this car away from the oncoming semi-truck that we can see so clearly heading straight for us. But we all think that someone more capable than us will step forward if we wait long enough.

Who will be the hero of the story?

The reality that we fail to act upon is - no hero waiting in the wings. YOU must be that hero. YOU must be the one to step forth. YOU have but to make that choice. YOU are the one that is needed. The collective strength of every true patriot is necessary to avert the devastating destruction that awaits us if we fail to act.

Our republic is in flames. The recent terror attacks in Gilroy, Dayton, and El Paso demonstrate that. I won’t even bother going into details about the political leanings of each of these shooters. There’s no point. We don’t want to admit it. It’s easier to think that things will go back to normal if we elect the right politician. But it’s just not so.

Our political elites have sold us out. The Democrats continue to go utterly insane and tear themselves apart, while the Republicans continue to make backhanded deals that use the twisted, fractured wreck of our civilization as a stepping stool on which to elevate themselves.

You know it’s true. Look at any big city in the United States - witness the crime, the violence, the gangs that walk the streets among the drug-addled zombies they use, and witness the lack of fear of consequences they know won’t come. Witness the hordes of invaders flooding across the border by the tens of thousands every month and witness the corrupt, incompetent wretches in D.C. that simply don’t care. Even our mid-sized cities, small towns, and rural communities are not immune to this. The epidemic of drugs has utterly devastated our populace at every level of society. Illegal immigration has decimated the middle-class. Tech censorship has laid waste to our political discourse. Our nation has become a powder keg, and the people we have elected to lead us out of this mess laugh and throw lit matches at it. How much longer can it go on like this?

What can be done about this?

We need to fund our ballot initiatives, our outreach efforts, and to hire and pay staff to do the heavy lifting behind the scenes. But even more than that, we need YOU to not fall victim to the bystander effect. We need YOU to throw your hat in the political ring and become a candidate for the only party in the United States that regards the Constitution as the wellspring from which our civilization draws its greatness. We need YOU to be the hero that steps forth to quench the growing fires of civil conflict. With superior ideas and a return to our traditional way of life, we can put out the flames that encroach all around us.

These conversations are not ones of negativity and pessimism. They are messages of hope and calls to action. What could be more positive than to roll up one’s sleeves to awaken your fellow patriots to the need to rescue our nation and our people from peril?

We have been thoroughly betrayed by our political elites, and therefore we need YOU to step in and replace the parasites that infect our halls of power. We need YOU to reach out and, through the ballot box, take the power away from the parasites of the political class, and place it firmly back into the hands of the People. We need YOU to be that hero. We need YOU to be that good Samaritan and step forth to rescue our people from the burning wreck left to us by the irresponsible drivers of our society.

Donate to the party. Share this content on your social media, email it to friends, print it out and attach it to the leg of a carrier pigeon if you have to. Help us spread the message and donate however much you can spare to help fund our campaign against the blight on our civilization. If you don’t do it, who will?

The Weapon of Our Enemies

This message is going to be a long one. But it’s critical that you read through to the end to understand the depth of the danger facing our civilization. If these words speak to you and if in your heart of hearts, you agree, then be sure to share this article with friends, family and in social media. Do your part to awaken the spirit of true patriotism in America.

Your donations are not only coming in but increasing in size and frequency. Your generous investment in the party moves us one step closer to our goal of returning the Constitution and our traditional way of life back to their places of primacy. More and more patriotic Americans are waking up and placing their bets on Liberty, Integrity, and Prosperity. Join the true patriots of our land and continue your support for us in our fight against tyranny. Now onto today’s thoughts.

Words used as weapons of destruction.

Patriots like us are called extremists by people with nefarious intentions at heart. The British called the patriots that founded our nation extremists. Today, Cultural Marxists of the radical Left and duplicitous, globalist Republicans, who have separate motives, yet mutual interests in mass-migrations, use that term to describe us. They understand the power of words, and they know how to wield these weapons of mass disinformation against us.

Not only are American patriots raising their eyes to behold the catastrophe that is happening before us with regards to censorship of centrist and conservative speech online, but even the Federal government is taking notice and beginning to address it. Could this have been possible without millions of conservative voices calling out in unison? It took conservatives and centrists alike to join their voices together and shout out our displeasure to gain attention.

Conservatives are, by their nature, peace-loving, individualistic people. Conservatives generally abide by the ancient wisdom “live and let live.” A noble and preferable way to view the world. It captures the very heart of liberty to go about one’s own life and not disturb the lives of others. But it is a double-edged sword and one that we are letting cut us. By being so hesitant to speak up against obvious evils, we have allowed the infection caused by the frequent nicks and cuts to fester, threatening the very life of our great republic.

The reason for this is apparent. Conservatives know just as well as Democrats and their progressive allies that words have immense power. The difference is that conservatives are hesitant to utilize this power. We understand the tremendous harm done to individuals and groups with a well-placed word. Donald Trump demonstrated this when he called out “the squad” of radical progressives on Twitter for their blatant hate of the United States. The Leftists know this too, and they count on it. Even more, they have succeeded in making us too scared to use our words against them. They have so thoroughly cowed us with the threat of being called “racist, bigots, Nazis" that we remain silent when we know such words are untrue. When you control the ability of people to speak, you eventually control their ability to think. When people can no longer express their thoughts, ideas disappear from public consciousness. They cease to exist. Our enemies are doing it to us. They are erasing our traditional way of life by erasing our ability to talk about it freely.

Hey buddy, it looks like you’ve had a little too much to think there. You’re coming with me.”

Our enemies! It’s a pretty incendiary term, is it not? Try speaking it aloud. Seriously, say it! Many of you will find it difficult. Most will not even try. Many will brush off the suggestion with an internal, self-reassuring laugh. Some of you will say it, but silently, in your mind. A small percentage of those people will silently mouth the words, and an even tinier fraction of you will speak it aloud. But I challenge you to do it. Our enemies!

The reason why it will be difficult is that most know to whom I am referring when I say, “Our enemies”! You automatically understand that I am not talking about some ISIS animals holed up in a cave somewhere in the Middle East. You will know that I am not referring to the Communist Chinese with their endless schemes to undermine Western civilization. Most will not assume either of those. You will know that I am referring to the radical leftists that have infected our society and their globalist, Republican allies. And herein lies the threat! They are using our language against us to rapidly close the fist of tyranny around our collective throats.

How do we know this? How do we know they are our enemies? The answer is simple. Look at the way the radical leftists in the news media have covered recent events, and you will have your answer. The Mexican flag being raised over US government installations by progressive leftists. The radical leftist, (I will not honor by writing his name) who firebombed the illegal alien detention center in Washington state over the weekend. The insane leftists in our Congress and those during presidential debate calling for illegal immigration to be decriminalized, and illegal aliens (AKA invaders) to be given free, universal healthcare. Then we see Democrat presidential candidates are crossing over the border and CAMPAIGNING IN MEXICO. The collusion between these cultural Marxists, globalists, and the news media to spin and cover it all up is not hidden! The Cultural Marxists within the radical Left have thoroughly weaponized our language.

We are all familiar with the adage, “The pen is mightier than the sword”. But why is that? How is it that random noises emitted from our throats by air from our lungs passing over our vocal cords can have so much power? Go to a speaker of some foreign language and utter the word “pizza” to them. It means about as much to a non-English speaker as “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. But if you were to say those same words to a speaker of English, then the word would have tremendous physiological and psychological effects.

Admit it, when you read the word “pizza”, your mind automatically conjures up smells of delicious melted cheese, tangy marinara sauce, and spicy pepperoni. Or maybe it was Canadian bacon and pineapple. Whatever pizza you prefer is irrelevant. The important part is that it elicited feelings and sensations from you - scents, tastes, memories, meanings, and a whole host of other reactions. I wonder how many of you thought about placing an order for Pizza Hut just now. That monstrously long and difficult to read word in the last paragraph probably made a lot of people feel confused and maybe even frustrated, if they couldn’t read it right away, until they realized that it’s that silly word from Mary Poppins. But that’s the point - the power of words.

Just by hearing these random vocalizations arranged into familiar, repeating patterns, you had a real, physical response. Now imagine if, over a long period, a devious person was to subvert your understanding of the word “pizza”. Imagine that, gradually over many years, they changed the meaning of the word, so the result was that “pizza” doesn’t mean a delicious, fattening treat. Imagine if they succeeded in getting the popular culture to agree that “pizza” now means the same thing as, say, “Nazi”. Upon reading that, most of you suddenly understood where this is going...

The radical Left’s most powerful weapon against the free peoples of the world is their masterful understanding of how language works. They understand that by changing the meaning of words, they can effectively stop people from talking about the ideas those words convey. Think about it. One such example is the Leftists’ changing the meaning of the word nationalism. They have convinced people that nationalism is the same as Nazism. They have persuaded people to stop using the phrase, illegal alien and replaced it with the words, undocumented immigrant. It has a much softer sound, doesn’t it? It doesn’t get the blood boiling quite as much as illegal alien or invader! Now, we have replaced undocumented immigrant with migrants or immigrants. Notice how each word change somehow lessens any threat posed to our nation. They intentionally conflate the meaning of the words to confuse people. Some in the Democrat Party and the news media have even begun using the term, undocumented citizen. You can see the threat this poses to our nation. No border, no nation.

So, how did the Left acquire such control over our language?

I am sure that many of you have heard of “the long march through the institutions.” For those of you not familiar with the term, it means the gradual takeover of institutions, such as our education system, by radical progressives. Children are now exposed to leftist ideology from day one and almost entirely unopposed. In places where Democrats have supermajorities, conservative teachers are silenced and risk dismissal from their jobs for speaking up. Even worse, leaking personal information to violent radicals, or being accused of sexual impropriety with their students, and then being replaced by some far-left feminist.

The Left is escalating its rhetoric against our nation and our people. The reprehensible creature, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, recently called detention centers on the border “concentration camps”. She caught a lot of heat for this, and rightly so. But think about what she tried to do afterward. She tried to weasel her way out of it by saying that she wasn’t referring to Nazi death camps. But we all know that’s nonsense, as she immediately followed it up with the phrase “never again”. Many of us know that “never again” is a direct reference to genocidal fascism and the Holocaust.

Fascism. There is another word twisted and deformed from its actual meaning to be a weapon that the Left can use to bludgeon the rest of us. They say that EVERYTHING is fascist if it doesn’t agree with their political world view. They justify ever-increasing violence against conservatives by equating conservatism with fascism. The radical leftist terrorist that firebombed the illegal alien detention center directly referenced “concentration camps” in his manifesto/suicide letter. And moreover, this terrorist was a self-described member of the “anti-fascists”, otherwise known as Antifa.

They say that defending the border is a form of “hate” (yet another word whose meaning they’ve co-opted for their villainous reasons). They then say that “hate has no place in our country”. They say that “hate” is a form of “violence”. They even try to scientifically justify this by saying that “hate” causes stress hormones in the body, which is bad for people’s health, and therefore, it’s violence to “hate” someone. All the while, actual “hate” and “violence” are used regularly to destroy the lives and bodies of conservative Americans. People are afraid to speak for fear of being persecuted by leftists through their manipulation of language.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

If people are so afraid of reprisal, how can they speak out against tyranny? Once tyranny has taken full control of language, then free people can no longer speak out. And that’s the danger we face! The radical Left, their contemptuous adherents, and their globalist allies in the Republican Party have manipulated our language to such an extent, that even talking about mass, illegal immigration is “racist.” Talking about the crime that the invaders bring is “white nationalist.” Talking about how more and more Democratic districts are giving drivers licenses to illegal invaders is “bigoted.” And bringing up that the same Democratic districts are amending laws to say that when you get a driver’s license, you are automatically registered to vote is considered “voter suppression”. They have twisted the meaning of words so much as to have a complete stranglehold on public discourse.

How many times have you watched or seen a news item, read the blatant lie contained within, and said to yourself, "That is complete BS! I know FOR A FACT that is not true!" Tell a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth.

Our enemies reprogram our culture through manipulation of our language. They use their manipulations of our language to program our thoughts. They use media of all sorts as the vehicles of their reprogramming. Well, It’s time to fight back. Take back our language and shout from the rooftops. Let them know that NO, you WILL NOT be reprogrammed. You are NOT a machine for them to reprogram to their liking. Let them know that you ARE a patriotic nationalist, and you WILL defend your civilization.

The pen truly is mightier than the sword, and it’s time that we take this powerful weapon back under our control. It’s time we turn it against the tyrants of the Left and the globalist traitors. It is utterly imperative that we take back our language. If we don’t defend our civilization with our words, then it won’t be long before we are called to protect it with our rifles. Despite its numerous flaws, THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN THE SINGLE GREATEST DRIVING FORCE FOR FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR WORLD. But, it is OUR nation. And our generation, here and now, is called upon to defend it. If we don’t defend it NOW, then it will not be here for our descendants to defend.

If you don’t want the day to come when your sons and daughters must defend your city from seizure by armed, radical leftists, then act now! Take back our language and use the words that the Left uses to demonize us against them. And don’t fall victim to the “it can’t happen here” fallacy. It can happen - it will happen. We have much at stake. Never forget: The only thing that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. When you see an invader, you TELL them they aren’t welcome here. When you see radical leftists claiming that the so-called refugees are “caged” in “concentration camps”, you challenge them and you tell them that we are a sovereign nation and they have violated our borders! When they say that these people are coming for a better life, you ask them why they can’t improve their own countries? Your ideas are superior to theirs. You must have absolute confidence in this truth. They know this, and that’s why they try to change the meaning of words, and that’s why they try to silence you. Your ideas are your ammunition, and your words are your rifles. They have no defense except to try and stop you from using these weapons. Use them. Turn the tide. Fight back!

The violence is already increasing. It’s spilling out into our streets. Leftist publications are openly calling for progressive Democrats to “arm themselves in defense of marginalized communities” (that’s an actual quote). What do we see then? Foreign flags raised on our soil. Terrorists attacking detention centers. The leftists are forming armed militias. This is the build-up. The storm is gathering all around us. The only tool you have to stop this from happening is your right to the freedom of expression. Express yourself socially by challenging their lies with our truths. Express yourself politically by funding candidates that will honor their oath to defend and uphold the Constitution. At this juncture in our history, there is only one such party. The Constitution Party calls all patriotic Americans to abandon both the Democrats and the Republicans.

We must unite in a new political force before we are swept into the dustbin of history.

The May 9, 1754 edition of the Pennsylvania Gazette had it right when it published Ben Franklin’s political cartoon “Join or Die”. We must heed the wisdom of this Founding Father and coalesce into a unified political force to block their path to domination, or we will suffer the same fate as those innumerable souls throughout history who thought simply remaining silent would protect them from tyrants.

Nazism, socialism, and communism were responsible for the loss of more than one hundred million innocent lives in the past century. What do they care if a few million American patriots have to die so that they can have their leftist utopia? They don’t care. Many of them are useful idiots to the left, unaware that once tyrants take power, the first to get the bullet are invariably the revolutionaries who put them in power. Many of them salivate at the thought of our deaths.

Take back our language. Take back our right to express ourselves. It is the only way to prevent the nightmare from which there can be no waking. We cannot allow the ideas of liberty to be lost by our silence.

Click the link below to add your voice to the growing number of patriots shouting out against this tyranny. Donate to the Constitution Party. We need to run candidates in every town and city across the land. We need patriots who will strike down our enemies in the political arena and save us from the need to strike down our enemies in the combat arena. There isn’t much time left.

Great News from Arkansas and North Carolina - Also, Date Set for Fall National Committee Meeting

We have great news this month. The ballot petition drive for Arkansas is complete and we received official notice from the Arkansas Secretary of State this past week that our Constitution Party Presidential candidate will be on the November 2020 ballot. Counting Arkansas, the party is now on the ballot in 14 states with 137 electoral votes leaving us 133 more electoral votes to reach the 270 electoral vote mark. In the 2016 General Election, our Presidential candidate, Darrell Castle, was only on the ballot in 26 states, yet he received a record number of votes that exceeded 203,000. That was over 80,000 more votes than received in the 2012 Presidential election. Our goal for 2020 is a minimum of 35 states. Once we reach the 35 state level, then North Carolina will automatically retain ballot status.

Signatures are now being gathered in Arizona and Hawaii, both of which are being done, thus far, on a volunteer basis. Hawaii requires 757 valid signatures of registered voters which is very doable. We have secured ballot access there for the past two elections and securing ballot access for the third consecutive election will ensure that the party will be on the ballot for the next five subsequent elections, so, making ballot access this year is critical. Hawaii was one of the top states, percentage-wise, for Darrell Castle in 2016 and our US Senate candidate, Joy Allison, received over 33% more votes than did the Libertarian Party candidate. She received 2.19% of the vote. Darrell Castle received 1.05% of the vote. Only Alaska and South Dakota gave Castle a higher percentage of the vote than did Hawaii.

We are beginning to get inquiries from potential candidates interested in running for various offices in 2020. It is very encouraging to be getting this level of interest so early. That is even more reason why getting on the ballot in as many states as possible this year is so critical. Unless the party is ballot-qualified in a state, our candidates simply cannot run for office. Being on the ballot in a state is key to attracting top notch-candidates.

Your consistent donations to the party are making this all happen. Click here to donate now. If possible, commit to donating a given amount each month for the next 15 months. If you have not yet donated, then please do so now. The cost per signature is much less in off-election years like 2019 than it will be next year and we need to take full advantage of that.

When making a donation on the national web site, you have the option to select the category you wish your donation to go to. Some of the options are Ballot Access, the Howard Phillips Legacy Society program, or your home state’s annual State Assessment. Donations made to the latter two of these three categories can be used wherever needed by the party. However, each year that a state pays it's annual state assessment fee of $1,000.00, it receives one additional delegate to the Presidential Nominating Convention in 2020. This is a factor you may wish to consider when making your donation.

More Exciting News from North Carolina

The following encouraging news was received this week from Kevin Hays of North Carolina:

Greg Holt, our Constitution Party candidate for the North Carolina 3rd Congressional District, has a great shot at winning a special election scheduled for September 10th. He needs to raise $4,500.00 by August 1st which will enable him to get more signs and run radio ad's all across his district which includes 17 counties. His district also includes Greene County in which our candidate Jerry Jones won a commission seat in a two-way race with 53% of the vote. District three was represented by Walter Jones who died in February and was very much a Ron Paul type Republican. We feel Greg can win the seat with 34 to 35 percent of the vote. It's a four-way race with the Republican candidate being very liberal. Greg Holt’s website is gregholtforcongress.com.

If you wish to write a check, please contact Kevin Hayes at [email protected]. This is a major opportunity for The Constitution Party. Greg polled 23% of the vote in a three-way race in Craven County for commissioner with the party in 2018. He was just 26 votes shy of placing second. Craven is the second-most populous county in the district. He has been endorsed by people in the fishing industry and the voter vice chairman of the Veterans Affairs of North Carolina.

Date set for Fall National Committee Meeting in Pittsburgh

The contract has been signed and the dates set for the fall National Committee meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The details will appear on the national web site very shortly. The date is Thursday, Oct 17th through Saturday, Oct 19th. Begin making plans now to attend that event. We hope to invite a number of candidates who have an interest in running for various state offices to speak at the event and to rub shoulders with us.

Once again, I want to express my sincere thanks to each of you for your continued and faithful support of our efforts to build a viable political force in our nation. Without your support, our continued growth and success could not happen.

Sincerely,

Frank Fluckiger

Let Andy Ngo Be A Warning to the Free Peoples of the United States


Venezuelan Invasion Threatens the USA

At this point, it should be as plain as day that the situation shaping up in Venezuela is America’s version of the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe (Islamic invasion of Europe). Europe has endured wave after wave of “refugees” crossing the Mediterranean or walking through the Middle East and Eastern Europe to reach the welfare states of Western Europe. Thanks to the structure of the EU, once these “refugees” were able to enter the EU at any point, they were able to move freely through the block.

Now millions upon millions of them are settled all across Europe. No-go zones are increasing in both number and size. Grooming gangs, gangs whose purpose is to recruit local girls into forced prostitution, are being uncovered, and local police and other authorities are frequently accused of knowing about it and turning a blind eye “for fear of being called racist.” All of this started with the US’ destabilizing actions in the Middle East. It continues to happen because mentally ill leftist activists and traitorous “conservatives” do everything they can to facilitate it. Much of this should sound familiar.

At this moment, much of South and Central America is on the edge of catastrophe. Already, our borders are under constant assault by increasingly massive and aggressive “caravans” of “refugees.” They flee failed states south of the border, including Mexico, but when they come, they bring with them the lifestyles and ways of thinking that contributed to the failure of their nations. The culture they bring with them is damaging to the fabric of the US. The Cultural Marxists of the radical left and the corporate globalists of both parties love this.

The leftists like the importation of a class of easily controlled people who have little to no understanding of our history, rights, or values. These “migrants” have been shown to vote mainly along racial lines, and typically vote for candidates that promise more protections for illegal aliens and more welfare benefits for them. The globalist Republicans like them, because they provide cheap, easily manipulated workers.

These groups have used universities, federally funded public schools, and corporate “anti-discrimination” policies to successfully brainwash multiple generations of Americans into believing that open borders are virtuous and that the US is nothing more than a fascist, failed facsimile of its former self, and therefore, not worth saving. We see the culmination of all of their efforts, endless protests by leftist radicals both young and old, students ostracized by both teachers and fellow students for wrong think, people fired from their jobs for being accused of racism or “white supremacy, and banks canceling the accounts of common people for expressing political opposition to radical leftist ideology.

The stage is now set for the globalists and cultural Marxists to take advantage of the situation in Venezuela to trigger the next migrant crisis. Think the EU migrant crisis, only exchange Muslims for South and Central Americans as the “refugees,” and replace Islam with Cultural Marxism as the driving ideology. Venezuela is, for all intents and purposes, in a state of civil war. Once the real violence begins in Venezuela and the surrounding areas, the number of “refugees” traveling north will swell, and our border will be utterly swamped.

Many people who live in Small-Town America have yet to experience the horror of Cultural Marxism, but it is seeping in. As long as they have control of the academic institutions, financial institutions, and social media, their corrosive ideology will continue to spread until the breaking point. Large numbers of radical leftist now serve in Congress. The latest studies depicting the spread of Americans across the political spectrum show that conservatives are coalescing around a shared set of values that are more or less center-right, while people on the left are spreading further and further towards the radical left. The further left they spread, the deeper into Cultural Marxism they get, and likewise the more authoritarian. That’s why they call us “far right.” They have moved so far to the left, that it looks like everyone else is shifting to the right. Their control of the above-mentioned institutions means that they have a continuing means of circumventing the constitution.

They are trying to introduce a form of techno-fascism to the US. They understand that the government can’t censor our speech, can’t restrict our participation in financial transactions, or discriminate against us based on race or ideology. But they also understand that they, as private institutions, can. They use this power to promote a message of open borders. If you disagree with it, or any of their other positions, then you are refused access to any or all of these services.

The EU has fallen to a form of this techno-fascism. People all across the EU are being arrested for sending anti-immigration messages on Twitter. How do they define “anti-immigration”? Asking questions such as why Muslims can do things, but citizens cannot — disagreeing with paying taxes that go into a welfare system that benefits illegal aliens over citizens — or raising awareness about violence and crime. And recently, the EU has passed internet censorship legislation that imposes taxes for people to exercise their right to free speech.

If we don’t assert our sovereignty and our rights as Americans, expel the tens of millions of illegals already here and repel the invasion of our southern border, then the corrosive acid of Cultural Marxism will eat our civilization away entirely the same way it is in the EU. Many of our most beautiful cities, such as San Francisco, have already fallen victim to Cultural Marxism, and they now resemble third-world countries. We have to push back, and we have to do it NOW. The time is NOW.

The good news is that there are two weapons available to citizens of the US with which to fight back. The first is social media. The second is the ability to run for office and vote. We still can speak, and now is the time to do so. For the first time, our society is beginning to ask the question of why we don’t have the same rights online as we have in the real world. To older generations, the internet may seem like a triviality. But to younger people, the internet is an indispensable and critical component of daily life. All aspects of life for younger people are online. If we all speak up at the same time, they can’t censor us all. As artificial intelligence technology grows, though, there will soon come a time when they WILL be able to silence us all.

We, as citizens, can run for ANY office, and we can sue the government to change any aspect of the law that we want. That is one of the things that makes us unique in the world. Fundamentally, our nation is designed to give as much power to the people as possible. The problem is that We the People have become lazy and entitled. We expect to be taken care of and have been manipulated not to notice that the people that we trusted to take care of us, while we went on autopilot, are abusing and taking advantage of us. We have but to wake up, realize that the power of government is only an illusion and that real power is in OUR hands. The system is as broken as it is because we allowed it to be. But we can reach out, take control, and set things straight — now is the time to do it.

Sponsor the Constitution Party with donations. Join the Constitution Party and run for local, state, and national offices on the Constitution Party ticket. Do your part to rekindle the flame of the virtues of Liberty, Prosperity, and Integrity.

MO CP Candidate Places Second in Three-Way Race

St. Charles is a city of 66,000 people in Missouri located near the Metro St. Louis area. Like all towns and municipalities in Missouri, St. Charles held local non-partisan elections on April 2, 2019. Even though these races are considered non-partisan races, voters are very much aware and often ask candidates about their party affiliation.

John Blazek, a member of the Constitution Party, ran for a seat on the City Council from Ward Nine. John placed second in a three-way race with a GOP and Democrat candidate. The final result showed the incumbent Republican received 44% of the vote; John Blazek 31%, and the Democrat garnered 24%. Write-in candidates received 1%.

Congratulations to John for running an exceptionally hard-hitting campaign and continuing to make an impact in his community. You see, John didn't quit on election day. He just switched gears! He is still asking questions and challenging the City Council members, but as a private citizen now through his campaign Facebook page. John has the attention of his community, and this is how we grow and build the party locally.

In other news, Michigan’s CP chairman, Bill Mohr reported that Gary Wnuk, who serves on the Alcona County Board of Commissioners, switched his registration from the Republican Party to the Constitution Party. Mr. Wnuk is now one of two Constitution Party County commissioners serving their communities. Jerry Jones, a former Democrat in North Carolina, won a seat as a CP candidate on the Greene County Commission in November 2018. Analysis of Jones’ race revealed that it was the conservative Democratic vote that gave Jones his victory. The tide is turning!

More election news out of North Carolina: Greg Holt has filed to run for Congress in the special election in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District. Holt ran for Craven County Commissioner District One in 2018 and received 23% of the vote in a three-way race. He was just 29 votes shy of coming in second ahead of the Democratic candidate. He should do well in the upcoming Congressional race.

National Committee Meeting set for May 3rd and 4th in Milwaukee

The Spring Meeting of the National Committee will be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 3rd - 4th, 2019. The Training Sessions start at 1:00 PM(CDT) on Friday and the Evening Banquet is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM. Portions of these events may be live-streamed.

Featured speakers during the training meeting will include Tom DeWeese, a nationally-known expert on the United Nations’ Agenda 21 program, and Don Blankenship, a West Virginia US Senate candidate in 2018. Tom Deweese will also be the keynote speaker at the banquet. Mark these dates and times on your calendar to tune in to these events. You will find it well worth your time.

We Are Growing

During the past year, national voter registration has grown from 100,000 to just over 108,000 as of the end of March 2019. This number does not include voters that are considered inactive and includes purging of voter records which many states do periodically.

The blue state of New Jersey has now registered 11,697 voters, which is the second highest state in the nation. While in North Carolina, where the party has been ballot-qualified for less than a year, voter registration continues to increase weekly. Recently CP voter registration surpassed that of the Green Party in that state, and overall North Carolina stands in 8th place as having the most CP registered voters. The hard work of the leadership in New Jersey and North Carolina has produced amazing results and should be commended.

Ballot Access Needs

The year 2020 is fast approaching, and the party will be turning its attention to achieving ballot access in preparation for the 2020 presidential election. Ballot access is costly! The need for a steady flow of income during the upcoming months is critical to assure we reach our goal of raising $24,000 in the next eight months.

Your financial support in the past has been key to the party’s growth, and we know that we can only reach our ballot access goals with your continued support. Through the party’s website, you can donate directly to ballot access, or you may wish to contribute to your states’ annual assessment. Either way, those funds will help with the access effort.

Once again, I express my sincere gratitude for your ongoing financial support that has made possible the growth and progress we are experiencing in the party.
