‘Who’s Who’ Of Pro- Secure Borders Movement Gather As Democrats Open Convention: Largest 3rd Party Presidential Campaign Headlines Event

Grand Rapids, MI An anti-illegal immigration rally (www.rightmarch.com) is scheduled for Monday, August 25th at Denver’s Congress Park near the site of the Democratic National Convention. The protest is designed for thousands of Americans to show the pro-amnesty, pro-open borders Democrats that their anti-U.S. policies are not in line with the overwhelming majority of voters.

The lineup of speakers includes pro-American, pro-secure borders champions like U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo (R. CO), Minuteman Civil Defense Corps’ Chris Simcox and Carmen Mercer as well as Constitution Party (www.constitutionparty.com) vice-presidential candidate, attorney and Viet Nam veteran Darrell Castle.

Castle, and Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin (www.baldwin08.com) represent the largest and fastest-growing third party based on voter registration (Ballot Access News).The Constitution Party’s growth has been attributed to “voters who’ve decided they cannot vote for the pro-amnesty, sovereignty-destroying policies being pushed by both parties’ candidates”, Castle explained. Further noting, “Wherever Chuck Baldwin and I go on campaign stops we hear Americans saying, “I’m afraid of Obama and I don’t trust McCain”. The immigration issue is huge and Americans are realizing that the Constitution Party offers the only pro-secure borders, anti-amnesty candidates for president and vice president. None of the major or minor party candidates represent the will of Americans when it comes to the illegal immigration crisis. The Constitution Party is their only viable choice come November”, Castle added.

The Power of the Protest Vote

July 29th,2008

Don’t be surprised if third or fourth party presidential candidates garner enough votes inv November to make a difference in some of the hotly contested swing states. The polls show more than enough Republican disaffection with John McCain’s candidacy to make a case that …another right-of-center candidate could take votes away from the G.O.P. standard bearer. And on the Democratic side, Barack Obama has to worry about defections of not only Hillary Clinton’s supporters, but also of liberals, who are beginning to grumble that he is moving too much toward the center.
