04/17/2012 Constitution Party National Convention to Meet in Nashville
Amidst Unprecedented Voter Dissatisfaction with Obama and Romney
Constitution Party National Chairman, Jim Clymer, announced the 2012 National Convention of the Constitution Party which will be held April 18-21 in Nashville, Tennessee.
“American voters who support limited, constitutional government, traditional American values, the protection of American jobs and preservation of individual liberty can take heart! They will not be limited to a difficult choice between Obama and Romney as the one likely to be the least threat to their life, liberty, property and other interests. The Constitution Party will be offering the Constitutional option in 2012,” said Clymer.
The venue for the Constitution Party National Convention will be the beautiful Sheraton Music City Hotel in Nashville, TN. The public is invited to attend but registration is required and anyone wishing to do so should contact the Constitution Party national office at 717-390-1993 for further information. Registered guests will be admitted to all sessions and events, including the gala Saturday night banquet to be held after the conclusion of the Convention, but only delegates who are selected by the respective state party affiliate organizations will be allowed to vote.
Among those seeking the Constitution Party Presidential Nomination is former Congressman Virgil Goode. Goode, who represented Virginia’s 5th District from 1997 – 2009, was a member of the Liberty Caucus, chaired by Ron Paul. Known in the House of Representatives for his outspoken opposition to illegal immigration, his support for trade policies that protect the interests of American workers, for limited government and for cuts in spending along with a balanced budget, Goode joined the Constitution Party in May of 2009 and is now a member of its National Executive Committee.
Other candidates seeking the Constitution Party Presidential nomination include Robby Carr Wells of North Carolina, a former NCAA Division 1 football coach at Savannah State University, Laurie Roth, of Washington, a talk show host and columnist and Susan Ducey, a constitutional activist from Kansas.
The general session of the convention, which will include adoption of the 2012 Constitution Party National Platform and the selection of the party’s presidential and vice-presidential nominees, is set for Friday April
20 and Saturday April 21, with the presidential nominee’s acceptance speech scheduled for 1:30PM Saturday, April 21.
“To the millions of American voters--be they traditional Democrats who once believed that their party spoke for America’s working people, honest, representative government and freedom or Republicans who used to believe that their party represented limited government, fiscal responsibility and individual liberty—who feel abandoned by their own political parties, I issue an invitation to find out about a new path for America-the Constitution Party (www.constitutionparty.com) and to join the campaign to Save America by supporting the Constitution Party Presidential ticket in 2012,” concluded Clymer.

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.
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!
Since I won’t vote for Mitt...I have looked at Constitution party as a conservative alternative to the canidates the GOP keeps putting up.
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?
Wow, the Chairman’s name id “CLYMER?”
How unfortunate.
And your grand ideas to bring this country back to greatness are:

My bad!
‘smack’
self inflicted punishment complete!
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’.
Oh Great! Another confused freeper pretending to himself that Romney is a conservative.
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.
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.
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.
