Republicans Faithfully Block Constitution Party From "Free and Equal" Ballot Access

http://www.constitutionpartypa.com/ballot-access-denied.html

The Republican Party has succeeded in preventing the Constitution Party from representation on the ballot in Pennsylvania this November. Do you remember the colonists cry of taxation without representation?

Following a day plus of signature validation efforts by Constitution Party members and supporters, it became obvious that the whole process was not going well for the Constitution Party. During lunch on the second day, members and supporters met in private to discuss the numbers (i.e. the odds) of winning this battle. The Attorney for the Constitution Party consulted each member for their input. Many felt their numbers were improving significantly over the first day since they now knew more about the process. It was agreed upon to continue till the end of the day, reconvene and review the updated numbers before making a final decision.

Approximately an hour later, Constitution Party members were approached individually by their attorney and informed that they had been given an ultimatum from the Republicans: They had to either concede to the Republicans by 3:00 in the afternoon or they would start assessing their costs on the Constitution Party. They were told these costs could very easily exceed $100,000.00. Each Constitution Party member was then asked for their vote and invited to reconvene in private at 3:00pm for the results. At this meeting, Jim Clymer, Vice-Presidential candidate for the Constitution Party, relayed the bad news. Words of wisdom along with expressions of thanks and appreciation were given and received by all. The shedding of tears and the holding back of tears was evident around the room.

Pennsylvania, you have not only lost the chance to vote for more options; you have lost more of your precious liberty. Likewise, you have lost the ideas these candidates were bringing to the table; ideas which could have made for a better Pennsylvania. Now they have been struck from the political debate.

America, where is thy Liberty and why has she fled? Constitutional Patriots stand united in beckoning her return. With humble prayers, many plea before their Creator. They plea for the wisdom and strength to hasten her restoration. We uphold a vision of that glorious day when peace and liberty will be afforded to all. We pledge to continue this struggle despite any obstacle which the destroyer of liberty may throw across our path.

Republicans Challenge Pennsylvania Petitions of Libertarian and Constitution Parties

via: ballot access news

Wednesday, August 8, 2012 17:57

On August 8, two attorneys working for various Republican Party officials filed challenges to the validity of the Libertarian Party statewide petition and the Constitution Party statewide petition. No challenge was filed against the statewide Green Party petition.
Fortunately, also on August 8, Oliver Hall filed a request for injunctive relief in federal court against the Pennsylvania challenge system. That case, which was filed on May 17, 2012, is called Constitution Party v Aichele, eastern district, 5:12-cv-2726. Here is the filing. Here are the exhibits that accompany that filing. Oliver Hall is the attorney for the Constitution, Green, and Libertarian Parties in that case. A previous case filed in 2009 had resulted in a decision that the plaintiffs lack standing. In this instance, it appears logically impossible that anyone could think the Libertarian Party, or the Constitution Party, now lack standing. Without relief from the federal court, the Libertarian and Constitution Parties are placed in the dilemma of either withdrawing their petitions, or risking a judgment that court costs of perhaps $100,000 or more are owed to the challengers.
One of the attorneys who filed the challenge to the Libertarian and Constitution Parties is the same attorney who challenged the minor party statewide petitions in 2010, and who warned the parties that court costs might be as high as $110,000. In 2010 all the statewide minor party petitions were then withdrawn and no one ever determined whether they had enough valid signatures or not.

FOUNDING FATHERS GREAT GARDENERS PICNIC

 August 11, 2012 at Harmar Grove, North Park

All freedom-lovers are invited to the Freedom Garden picnic to celebrate what we all crave so dearly … to celebrate what drove our Founding Fathers to strike out on their own  …  FREEDOM!   With battle lines drawn in the dirt of our backyards, patios, or whatever available place, we will take the WWII Victory Garden to even greater heights.  Americans still have a strong connection to the land.  It resonates with the idea of freedom. 

George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin all shared an extensive interest in farming.  Frankly, we’d have loved to be guests at the Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and Madison family tables.  You may know that Thomas Jefferson’s favorite food was macaroni and pea salad.  There was actually something that James Madison loved to eat.  Madison loved ice cream.  Washington, the Father of Our Country enjoyed nuts and cherries.  Ben Franklin had a yen for pickles.  It all sounds good to us so we will be providing some of these favorites in addition to the All-American favorite, the hot dog.  Bring one of your favorite picnic foods to share and come and enjoy an afternoon of games, speakers with important messages, and join together in a homegrown revolution.

We need to reread this: The Declaration of Independence

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
