Election day is 74 days away, and the Baldwin campaign is pressing forward with new ideas and continuing to get the word out about a third party candidate who will represent the Constitution as it was intended. These are some of the events that are coming up that you can get involved in and help support as we further our shared message of restoration.
Coinciding with the first day of the DNC, August 25th, Darrell Castle will be joined by Bob Barr, amongst others, at a rally hosted by the Colorado Minutemen, to speak about the current policy decisions regarding immigration.
A few days after that, August 26th through the 29th, Chuck will be embarking on his South Carolina tour. This state has a strong history of defending the Constitution, and we believe that the Constitution Party message will resonate well to the voters of one of the original thirteen colonies. If you live in South Carolina, or if you have friends or family there, email us at contact@baldwin2008.com or call Patricia Wheat (803-312-3406) for more information.
Other exciting news is that the Constitution Party will be appearing on the West Virigina ballot this November due to the dedicated hard work over the past few months during the signature collection process. To celebrate this fact, our Vice Presidential nominee, Darrell Castle, will be at the West Virginia Constitution Party State convention today, August 23rd.
Speaking of Americans with a history of defending the Constitution, Chuck is going to be at Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic in Minneapolis, MN where thousands of freedom-loving patriots will be gathering on September 2nd. We would love to see you there, to meet new supporters, introduce you to Chuck himself, and energize the rally as only true Constitutionalists can.
Our main campaign phone number is now in place, 1-866-99-BALDWIN (easy to remember, and the extra numbers don't matter). Calling this number lets you order yard signs and bumper stickers, ask about particular issues, and schedule press or radio and other media interviews with Chuck and Darrell.
Finally, the biggest endorsement we've received lately came from Dr. Jerome Corsi, the author of best seller The Late Great USA and the recently-published NYTimes bestseller The Obama Nation. As the dissatisfaction with the two party system is building and our fellow citizens are learning about new options, the choice is clear: the Constitution Party and Chuck Baldwin. Dr. Jerome Corsi understands the dilemma, and he made his choice, as he said on Larry King Live: "I am not voting for McCain, I am voting for Chuck Baldwin."
These and other events are becoming reality before our eyes, and it is thrilling/encouraging to watch... and with your continued support, we're reaching even higher goals. Take a few minutes to donate $5, $25, or $50: whatever you feel led to. We're working on fliers, posters, and other material to help you reach to your community; but we need funds to bring these projects to fruition, so please donate today!
Sincerely,
Baldwin Campaign Team

Third-party candidates take ballot access fights to court
Once again, third parties are forced to go to court to gain access to the ballots in various states. An article by Melanie Bengtson, an intern with the First Amendment Center Online, reports that “presidential ballot-access lawsuits have been filed in at least eight states this year. Two candidates stand out among dozens of third-party candidates — Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr and Ralph Nader, a presidential campaign veteran running as an independent.”
Barr and the Libertarian Party have ballot access lawsuits pending in Oklahoma, Tennessee, Massachusetts, and West Virginia. In the Massachusetts lawsuit, the Libertarian Party will be represented by the ACLU of Massachusetts. The lawsuit in Tennessee was filed jointly in January by the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, and the Constitution Party. Ralph Nader is expected to file suite in Idaho.
Adds Bengtson:
Former Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the American Independent Party’s Alan Keyes, and the Ohio Socialist Party and have also filed ballot-access lawsuits this presidential election year.
