Thank you for your interest in the Constitution Party! We welcome you to the growing list of Americans who are seeking a political home and one that will return our country to a Constitutional Republic that our founding fathers would recognize. As the date of the Constitution Party National Convention (April 23-26 in Kansas City, Missouri) approaches, several prominent Americans have expressed an openness to considering the possibility of seeking the Constitution Party Presidential nomination. Among those are former United States Senator Bob Smith; former Alabama Chief Justice, Roy Moore; the 2004 Vice-Presidential Nominee of the Constitution Party, Chuck Baldwin; WorldNetDaily. com writer and author of the best selling "The Late, Great USA", Dr. Jerome Corsi; and former Ambassador to the United Nations, Alan Keyes. This is is not a closed list and it is possible that there may still be others who are considering the possibility of seeking the 2008 Constitution Party nomination.
Senator Smith recently wrote an excellent and exclusive "call to action" article for Constitution Party website, entitled, "It's the Constitution, Stupid!" That article can be found here.
Regardless of who emerges as the eventual Constitution Party nominee, one thing is certain: He will need to be on the ballot in states all across the country in order to wage a successful campaign! The Constitution Party is making excellent progress in its 2008 ballot access campaign. It is currently already on the ballot in 15 states. That puts it well ahead of where we were this time in 2004! We are nearly finished with petition drives in Ohio and South Dakota and are making excellent progress in West Virginia and New Mexico as well. Petitioning has now commenced in a number of other states.
What most people don't realize is that the ballot access petition campaign is a very expensive process. While we certainly do receive volunteer participation in our ballot petition drives from Constitution Party members and supporters in the various states, the great bulk of the work is, of necessity, done by paid professional petitioners. That means that just getting on the ballot can be a very expensive proposition. Without ballot access, however, the effort can go nowhere. Therefore, it is essential that the Constitution Party adequately fund its ballot effort so that we can be assured of having a Constitution Party Presidential candidate on the ballot in every state in the nation. (Click here to read more about the ballot access hurdles new parties face.)
While we have made an excellent beginning on our ballot access campaign, the fact is that your financial help is urgently needed NOW if the Constitution Party is going to be able to continue to make progress in placing its Presidential ticket on all of the state ballots. We do not receive funding from corporate PAC's, lobbies or other special interests. We depend on the average American. We depend on YOU! Won't you please help this effort, TODAY, so that we can be sure of giving the American people a real Constitutional choice in 2008.

A comparison between the strengths of the Constitution Party and other political parties is detailed in the article "We Will be Heard" by our National Chairman, Jim Clymer.
The Constitution Party is the 3rd largest political party in the country in terms of voter registration (see this report: http://www.ballot-access.org/2006/070106.html#11 ) As you can see on the chart named "Mid 2006 Registration Totals" at the Ballot-Access News website, the Constitution Party has more registered voters than the Libertarian, Green or Reform parties that you've heard more about.
So why haven't more people heard of the 3rd largest political party in the country from the national media? It is because they don't want you to know we exist so we won't have a chance to upset the monopoly the Republican/Democrat party has over American politics.
We believe that voters should have the opportunity to vote for the party of their choice, however, the 2 major parties don't want you to. Please read the article "Why America Needs a Third Party" from our website.
