Pennsylvania’s Bucks County Courier Times reports farmer Jay Russell has entered the state’s Eighth U.S. House District race as the Constitution Party candidate. The newspaper says Russell “has run for a series of offices, including state representative, township supervisor and county commissioner” over the past 15 years, “but has never won an election.” Russell said he “knew he had little chance to win in November. ‘Miracles happen, but the odds are against me,’ Russell said. ‘I want to give people a real choice.’” Democratic incumbent Patrick Murphy is seeking re-election; Republican Tom Manion and independent Tom Lingenfelter, who briefly ran for lieutenant governor as Libertarian Russ Diamond’s running mate in 2006, are also in the race.

Dan Frank is running for U.S. Congress 16th District
For Immediate Release August 5, 2008

Lancaster, PA - Constitution Party member Dan Frank is announcing his candidacy for U.S. Congress in the 16th Congressional District. Dan and his volunteers have collected signatures from residents of the Lancaster area in support of his nomination. Individuals and several local organizations have responded with support and substantial signatures more than sufficient to place him on the ballot for the November 4, 2008 general election. The Constitution Party is America's fastest-growing and largest third party based on voter registrations (Ballot Access News).
A former Republican, Dan, like many, realized that the difference between the two parties is getting harder to distinguish each year. "The GOP, the so-called conservative party, has racked up record spending deficits, refused to secure our borders, increased government intrusion, and sponsors policies that send jobs off-shore," Dan continues, "while the Democrats, the so-called party of the working man, have shown many of the same characteristics, which of course coincide with the party's mantra of more taxes and big government." The latest NBC/WSJ poll has Congress's job approval rating at 13 percent.
Dan Frank sees these underlining issues along with elitism in Washington D.C. as motivations to run for office. According to Dan, "Keeping jobs in America is my top priority." He adds, "I have spoken with many in this area that are concerned of losing their jobs, or have lost jobs, and now an economy in turmoil has rightfully elevated their concerns. It is obvious to me only multi-national corporations and special interest are represented in D.C., not all citizens." Dan has made a pledge, which he intends on keeping, that if elected, his votes will have to meet the Constitutionality threshold and benefit all citizens, not a selected few. In addition, he will only serve four terms.
Dan has also spoken out on property rights, gun ownership, and sovereignty, as well as advocating free-market in energy.

Constitution Party candidate files for congressional run
Posted by Media Release --- August 5th, 2008
John P. McDermott has filed petitions bearing the names of about 4,400 residents of the 13th Congressional District of Pennsylvania. He needed to obtain nearly 3,000 signatures to secure a spot on the November ballot.
McDermott is running as a Constitution Party candidate. The district covers most of northeast Philadelphia and large portions of Montgomery County.
“Without my presence in the campaign,” he says, “the race would be merely a war of money and name recognition and pure partisanship,” he said, “and at the end of the day the voters would end up with a typical run-of-the-mill, business-as-usual party hack. This has to change, and I can do it.”
