I later obtained my Masters degree from New Mexico State University in History (specialty in U.S. Foreign Relations. A Monarchist myself at heart, I was founder of College Republicans and Young Americans for Freedom at the University of Tennessee, but ceased affiliation with them after Gulf War I and President Bush’s (and the Republican Party’s) abandonment of basic conservative beliefs. I became a supporter of Patrick Buchanan at the time. Later I became a supporter of Ron Paul. I pursued an academic and educational career abroad, teaching at the University and high school levels in Central America, and have been doing so for 15 years. Besides teaching, I have collaborated in historical research and books. I always felt these United States and its two-party monopoly in politics turned its back on me,  especially since 9-11. If Bush and the Republicans were awful and crass, President Obama and the Democrats have proven to be worse. It’s time for me to man up and honor my ancestors as they stood up for these United States during the War Between the States -- do my part to save it before it’s too late. I plan to return to Tennessee and hopefully, through The Constitution Party, we can play a part in turning things around. I look forward to joining the party and working together to save these United States.   County: Davidson Tommy Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:17:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:80 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/81/David-Graves-Story.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=125&ModuleID=541&ArticleID=81 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=81&PortalID=0&TabID=125 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/81/David-Graves-Story.aspx My Story - David Graves of Cleves, Ohio I have always been politically conservative, but never really wanted to align with a party. I usually favored the Republican choice for President unless there was a good independant running. I just thought that any Republican is gotta be better than a Democrat, so regardless if I liked a candidate, I would vote for the lesser of two evils.   It was only after the GOP chose guys like Romney, Guliani, and McCain as their ’"best choices", that I realized we were in trouble!!   When they bypassed true conservatives like Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul, and chose McCain to lead them, i could not support them. I watched as the so called conservatives made fun of and trashed Ron Paul and his supporters, and then when it came down to Obama and McCAIN, I chose Chuck Baldwin because I had to vote my conscience and not for who the establishment told me to vote for.   I thank God that i have a true third party option now in the Costitution Party, instead of selling out to Party politics!! No more towing the red and blue lines for me now, at least on a national level anyway.   God bless, David Graves.

The idea of being a part of a group of constitutionally minded people wanting to reduce and limit the Federal government to the size the Founders intended. The idea of being part of a party that, unlike other parties, actually believes in and stands for their principles.   Having beliefs, standing for those beliefs and not compromising those beliefs for temporary gain is what makes the Constitution Party unique among American politics. We do not change, adjust or alter our beliefs due to focus group results, polling data or the desire to have the “powers that be and the media” like us. Our mission is to return America to small, limited constitutional government. We do not need or want a “cradle to grave” Federal government.    It seems to me that the very standards making us unique among political parties, our actual beliefs in a set of principles, is somehow viewed as a negative by many people. Why would standing up for your principles be anything but positive? My theory, people aren’t used to standing firm for much of anything in their lives.   Therein may be the dilemma for so many Americans. Being unused to having firm beliefs, it is difficult to understand others who do have firm convictions. I once heard the most difficult decision most people make each day is what to eat for the next meal. We Americans have become too reluctant to make our own decisions. We are so “dumbed and numbed”, we are content to let “the government” make decisions for us.   We live in the greatest country in the history of the world. Our constitutional republic is unique and has been replicated many times, but never duplicated. Why? The concept of liberty and freedom held by the Founders and woven into our Constitution. We are losing those concepts and if we do not wake up and change course, what we give away, our posterity may never regain.   The Constitution Party believes in God, the sovereignty of our states, the principles of liberty and freedom and small Federal government. We believe in personal responsibility, low taxes, local control of our schools and local control of our governments. We do not need or want the folks in Washington, D.C. telling us how to live, what to eat, how to spend our money and what to buy with our money. Government is by, for and of the people. We, the people, need to start living up to our responsibilities.    I suppose if you are satisfied with the developments of the past many years, then continue voting the way you have voted. More taxes, more wars, higher gas prices, higher unemployment, government health care and more government intrusion into your life, the Democrats and Republicans will be happy to let you maintain the status quo.       If you believe the sun is still rising on America; if you believe America is intrinsically good; if you believe America is still a shining example for the rest of the world; if you believe America gives its citizens the OPPORTUNITY for a life of freedom and liberty; it you believe that, in America, government is supposed to work for the people and not the other way around, then why aren’t you a member of the Constitution Party?       There is literally a life and death struggle being waged every day in America. Sometimes in public view, often out of public view behind the scenes. It is a struggle being waged by ordinary people like you and me. Right now, the good people are battered, bruised and staggering but not defeated. No matter how this struggle ends, be it with more freedom or more tyranny, be assured you were a part of the outcome. You may say, “not me, I stay away from politics”. Guess what? You are still involved because you are either fighting for freedom or enabling tyranny. You are part of the solution or part of the problem. The choice is yours to make. The decision you make affects us all.       Be a freedom fighter. Preserve freedom for your children and grandchildren.   Join the Constitution Party today. We need your help.

My attitude was: "If the Republicans do it then it must be good. If the Democrats do it then it must be bad". At the time I had no idea how dangerous that way of thinking was. For a few years I just floated around the political spectrum not really fitting in with anybody - then came Ron Paul. I jumped onboard the Ron Paul bandwagon in August of 2007. He was the only candidate that made any sense at all. I would listen to him in the debates and in interviews and he was the only candidate who had any REAL solutions. It was then that I understood why we needed to adhere to a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Unfortunately, Dr. Paul did not get the Republican nomination for President but I was relieved when he endorsed Chuck Baldwin for President. I became a supporter of Chuck Baldwin and the Constitution Party on July 12, 2008 at the Revolution March in Washington D.C. Mr. Baldwin spoke right before Dr. Paul and I thought to myself: "If Ron Paul isn’t going to be President then I am definitely voting for Chuck Baldwin". I am proud to say that I did vote for Chuck Baldwin on Election Day and even though he came up short I now have a home with the Constitution Party. As long as the Constitution Party continues to respect the values that are written in the Constitution I will be a lifelong supporter.

Bush had just been re-elected to a second term, but his remark, "the Constitution is nothing but a G.. D... piece of paper", really turned me off, but I had not voted for a Democrat since I was compelled into the Kingdom of God on the evening of 8/19/85.   Being a VA native and devotee of Southern history and heritage, though I went along for the ride after my conversion, I had always had a problem with "the Party of Lincoln". Bush’s desire to expand the U.S. Empire abroad showed me what one of the big problems was. I began doing some research.   Seeing the reprobate Democratic platform, especially where abortion and homosexuality were concerned, I knew I needed to select a third party. The Libertarian Party was eliminated because they’ll believe anything. More research showed me that the Constitution Party was tailor-made for me. I’ve now been a member for nearly five years, and am more politically active here than I ever was with the Republican Party.

My parents are die-hard Republicans. It was going to be my turn to vote so I started researching the parties. I discovered that the Democrats and or Liberals want to hold office for nothing more than power and prestige. While the Republicans have lost the values that they used to stand for. I call these parties a "no value" party because of their views and thoughts. I then ran into the Constitution Party while researching the others. I agreed mostly with the Constitution Partie’s platform more than any other. I decided that I will not be a Democrat or Republican but a Constitutionalist!

For example, how can it be anything put blind ideology to claim to be pro-environment, but then import millions of illegal workers?? How can a party claim to represent black America and then try to give Amnesty to illegal workers? How can a party be pro-labor and then continue "Free Trade" policies??   Enough is enough.? Both of the major parties in America exist solely for their own perpetuation and self-interest.

The Republican party has masqueraded as conservative but then turned their backs on everything that conservatism represents, especially when it comes to fiscal conservatism. In this past election cycle all I kept hearing from Republicans was that I had to vote for McCain to keep Obama out of office because of what he (Obama) represents. The entire drive to get me to vote for McCain was based on fear of the other guy. So I looked into past elections and realized that it was the same tactic in the last 2 election cycles and it left me feeling really annoyed with the party.   Why should I vote based on fear? That is what oppressed people do! America is not supposed to be the land of a fear driven oppressed people. We do not put people in power for fear of certain consequences of not voting for them. We are not an oppressed people! I began looking into the Libertarian party which did not look too bad except I perceived the party to be proud of their stances on prostitution, legalized drugs... as well as abortion. The Constitution Party seemed to be a good fit for me. I voted and felt entirely comfortable with my vote. I left the polling place knowing that I voted for the candidate that represented me more closely than the others, and that my vote was not cast out of fear or manipulation.   Warm Regards,   Jay Miklovic Director of Youth Ministry Maumeee United Methodist Church 405 Sackett St. Maumee, OH 43537 www.6xii.com Tommy Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:37:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:95 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/96/Brian-Terrills-Story.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=125&ModuleID=541&ArticleID=96 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=96&PortalID=0&TabID=125 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/96/Brian-Terrills-Story.aspx After the reelection of George W. Bush and the Republicans began to control both houses of Congress, that’s when things changed, because nothing was getting done that Republicans promised would get done.   After I left the Republican party my belief that there was corruption in the party has been validated. How does the party of small government take a 3 trillion dollar dept and turn it into 9 trillion, just to turn around and bailout a bunch of elitists? By the time Barack Obama came around, and the Republicans started shouting "he’s a socialist don’t vote for him" it was too late, because the Republicans themselves were proven to be socialists. The Republicans today are the socialists of yesturday, the Democrats today are the Communists of yesterday. The only exception to this has been Ron Paul, and he has proven to be a major exception. But unfortunatly too many Americans were too dependent on the government to want to vote for him.   Brian Terrill Tommy Sun, 05 Apr 2009 22:38:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:96 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/97/Zachs-Story.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=125&ModuleID=541&ArticleID=97 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=97&PortalID=0&TabID=125 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/97/Zachs-Story.aspx After reading Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi and watching Freedom to Facism by Aaron Russo, my wife and I began to look for another political party. Remembering that Jerome Corsi endorsed Dr. Baldwin for president in his book’s forward, we went to the Constitution Party web-site and read the preamble to its platform. What we read moved both of us very deeply. In this day and age where it is difficult to find people in politics who are truly sincere about what they believe, we found the Constitution Party a breath of fresh air. We have never felt more excited, or voted with more purpose, than when we cast our vote for Chuck Baldwin last November.   Zack Davis "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." ~Edmund Burke Tommy Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:40:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:97 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/102/Dennis-Lee-Lacys-Story.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=125&ModuleID=541&ArticleID=102 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=102&PortalID=0&TabID=125 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/102/Dennis-Lee-Lacys-Story.aspx I voted for Chuck Baldwin and I’d like to send this quote to the CP: "A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill   Dennis Lee Lacy, Kentucky.

I am encouraged whenever I am on the road and see the bumper stickers of my fellow patriots loudly proclaiming they are CONSTITUTIONALISTS! God bless America!   Sarah, 28 Tommy Sun, 08 Mar 2009 22:45:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:101 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/100/Cindys-Story.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=125&ModuleID=541&ArticleID=100 http://www.constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=100&PortalID=0&TabID=125 http://www.constitutionparty.com/GetInvolved/YourStory/tabid/125/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/100/Cindys-Story.aspx Born and raised in New York, liberal, hated guns, pro abortion, went along with anything the government or the media suggested. But I had a strong belief in Liberty tucked away some where in by brain. In ’06 I saw illegal aliens marching thru the Streets of L.A. demanding “rights” during coverage of May Day protests. That woke me up. I got right on the Internet and learned what was really going on.   I never knew anyone in DC… Now I know all the PLAYERS, all the CORRUPTION, all the LIES.   If I can wake up and realize my beloved Constitution is UNDER ATTACK so can every other American.   THANK YOU CONSTITUTION PARTY FOR ALL YOUR WORK DEFENDING FREEDOM and AMERICA THANK GOD YOU ARE HERE !

I got more and more irritated with George II, Orrin Hatch, and Bob Bennett as time went on. I was fed up with King George’s open border policy, his scheming to create the North American Union, and his running up of the national debt. I was fed up with my senators’ voting record and their brushing aside of important issues with mealy-mouthed pandering to special interest groups…. I finally decided that I needed to find a party that shared my beliefs, one that represented me. That was the CP. I told family and friends about it and told them that they didn’t have to vote for the socialist from the Republican Party or the communist from the Democrat Party. Of course, they gave the standard gutless, spineless excuse: "If you don’t vote for McCain, then Obama will win". To that, I responded: “Who cares? Vote your conscience and let the chips fall where they may. Maybe it’s time for the Republican Party to get the message that we’re not putting up with their liberalism anymore”.

At the time, my parents were my only source of information and I was very much a Republican, thinking they were very good. At some point while watching the news, there was a brief moment when they mention a third party and described a little of what he was for. I remember thinking "Wow! He’s even better than Bush, I’m going to vote for that party in 2008". I voted in the Republican primaries and was greatly disappointed that McCain won. I found myself thinking more and more of how I didn’t want to vote for someone I didn’t support at least 70% and started thinking about that third party I had heard about. I didn’t remember the name of the party so I asked around on the internet, where someone mentioned the Constitution Party. After doing some research and reading ALL of the Constitution party platform on the main website, I really, really liked the party. Everything about the Constitution Party showed heart and determination, so I decided to vote for Chuck Baldwin in the election. I tried to convince my parents and brother to vote for Chuck, but they told me that he didn’t stand a chance and dad said that I was practically voting for Obama because I wasn’t voting for someone "who could win". I didn’t think they were right, and was very happy that I supported Chuck 100%. A couple of months after the election, my dad told me that I did the right thing and that he was very sorry for what he had said to me.   I have high hopes and faith that the United States of America can become a wonderful, Constitution-based country once again. I will never give up on America, and neither should any other American, no matter how hopeless it seems. WE are the ones putting people in office thus WE are the ones who choose the path America will take. Tommy Sun, 01 Mar 2009 23:48:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:103
