To Rand Paul: You Can’t Be Both

by Frank Fluckiger, National Chairman

Many conservatives put their faith in the two party system, hoping some candidate will reform the Republicans.

Rand Paul, who offers a few positive takes on some key issues, recently said: “I’ve been there. I’ve seen what it’s like in the third-party world. Our system is directed to the two parties and I made the decision when I started running for political office that I am a constitutional conservative and Libertarian-leaning Republican.”

Constitutional Republican? Sadly, Rand Paul seems to be just another politician out to reform the GOP. It’s not going to happen, and worse, he offers the same failed path for patriots seeking real solutions. That road that must come from outside the elitist-controlled political parties. I wish he knew better.

Constitution Party founder Howard Phillips clearly stated why America needs the Constitution Party: “To capture the Presidency for an agenda of Constitutional renewal, we need a political instrument with clarity of principle and unity of purpose — one willing to offer a change in direction as well as a switch of drivers.”

We are out to change the system and with your support we are making progress. I urge you to explore our national webpage: it has a new look and is easy to navigate. It’s a refresher course on what we believe and our plans for winning.

When talking to friends and family about our Constitution Party, I often refer to what John Adams said:

There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.

Your financial support, $20, $50, even $100, is essential to our future. I hope I can count on your continuing support.
