Pa state convention report

Saturday the Constitution Party held its state convention at the Park Inn in Harrisburg. The topic of the meeting was sorting out national delegates and voting for state officers. There were nine delegates chosen so far to be delegates at the April national convention in Nashville TN. Some new state officers were also named. Wes Thompson stepped down as chairman and Joe Murphy was elected to fill the position. For vice chairman Robert Nulton was elected and the secretary and treasurer remained in Donna Fike and Jim Clymer. There is a big push for signatures this year to get our presidential and statewide candidates on the ballot. No other significant business was addressed.

Fitzgerald Statement on Air Force Plans to Close 911th Airlift Wing   Contact: Amie M. Downs, County 412-350-3711 office 412-327-3700 cell

PITTSBURGH – County Executive Rich Fitzgerald issued the following statement in response to the announcement by the United States Air Force of plan to close the 911^th Airlift Wing in Moon within the next two years:
“I was extremely disappointed to hear the announcement today by the Air Force regarding the 911^th.  This unit has been a vital part of our community, includes over 1,220 members, provides employment for over 300 civilians and provides tactical airlift support to members of our Armed Forces.  I intend to work closely with our Congressional delegation to answer this proposal and fight to keep the 911^th Airlift Wing open, operating and protecting our region.”

This is happening while the Obama administration continues to open bases around the world. The Obama policy is just a continuation of the former Bush administration. We need new leaders willing to stand up for the American people. Please consider contacting us at the Constitution Party and help us build a party of the people, for the people and by the people. Please feel free to comment.

National Popular Vote Initiative

Whereas the National Popular Vote Initiative is an attempt to amend the United State’s Constitution without going through the amendment process; and 

Whereas the National Popular Vote Initiative is a strategy to thwart and nullify the concepts and principles underlying the Electoral college; 

Be it resolved that the Constitution Party of Pennsylvania hereby declares its opposition to the National Popular Vote Initiative and opposes any requirement that Pennsylvania’s Electors in the Electoral College vote for a presidential candidate who did not receive the highest vote count in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the immediately preceding Presidential popular vote election.

State of the Union Address 2012 response

 

The President of the United States said many great things that the people want to hear. Yes, the people want to hear what is and what could be and what may be but, now let's see all of this happen. We, as Americans, have gone on long enough without seeing action. We deserve to see our government work for us and with us instead of making us work for them. There are still hundreds of thousands to millions of Americans out of work. Jobs and the economy still does not seem to be the focus of this President. The government should not be in the business of Education. They should only be in the business of protecting our country and securing our borders.
