Choose Candidate For President
Dissatisfaction With “Big Box” Party
Options Spurs Interest Not Seen In
Nearly 150 Years
Lancaster, PA: The country’s
fastest-growing and largest third party,
based on voter registration, the
Constitution Party, (constitutionparty.com)
will nominate a presidential candidate
at a nationwide convention in Kansas
City, Mo, April 23 -26,2008.

Underscoring the announcement of its
convention by citing widespread voter
discontent with Republican and
Democratic Party candidates, the
Constitution Party announced it would
choose a nominee who will offer voters a
viable alternative to the
‘one-in-the-same’ candidates currently
running.
“Not since the Whigs were deposed by the
‘upstart’ party of the day - the
Republican Party - have we seen such
widespread interest in venturing out of
the two party ruts,” noted Constitution
Party National Committee Chairman Jim
Clymer.
“Statistically, voters are moving away
from the two parties that control DC.
…Frankly, at this point, a large
percentage of voters are saying, “none
of the above;” they are not getting
behind the candidates we’ve been told
are our only choices in November. The
Constitution Party Convention will be
exciting for those who were resigned to
sitting out the presidential election,”
Clymer added.
Notable speakers will join delegates and
Constitution Party members from all 50
states at the three-day event at the
Kansas City, Mo. Downtown Marriott, 200
West 12 th street.
Speakers will include Ambassador Alan
Keyes, political analyst Richard
Viguerie, New York Times best- selling
author, columnist Jerome Corsi, Ph.D.,
Gun Owners of America Executive Director
Larry Pratt, radio talk show host Pastor
Chuck Baldwin and Operation Rescue
Director Troy Newman.
“Come Election Day that third party
wildcard could conceivably upend the
status quo,” Clymer predicted, noting,
“From here on out, this (presidential)
race will take on an entirely different
look”.
