The mid-term elections usually swing away from the party of the current president. However, the massive swing and low Republican voter turnout, evidences a much more serious problem than typical fluctuation. Republican voters are tired of being lied to, and tired of not having their values represented by their elected officials.
So, what are you going to do about it?
The Constitution Party is the only national party that is still conservative. If those values matter to you, your best option is to make a change in your voter registration. Commit to promoting and assisting a political organization that is set to replace the RINO party as the only conservative choice.
We continue to show our growth every election cycle with more state organizations and more candidates being offered. The Constitution Party of West Virginia built on the ballot access they achieved in 2024 by offering a slate of electors in 2026 who did well. They continue to build, and they have already begun to recruit candidates to be able to offer West Virginia a full slate of CP candidates for 2027 & 2028!
The Constitution Party of Wyoming put forward a slate of candidates in 2026, with their governor candidate, Rebecca Brextel, earning nearly 17% of the vote. They have achieved major political party status in Wyoming through this election, and will be reshaping the political landscape as the party grow in every county.
The CP’s hard work and commitment to Liberty, and to America First, is evident in state after state. Michigan, Nevada, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming offered large slates of candidates for a wide spectrum of offices. New Hampshire succeeded in the Herculine task of getting enough signatures to get their U.S. Senate candidate on the ballot in this election cycle and garnered support for an expanded candidate slate in the next election cycle.
The massive, tireless efforts of our candidates, organizers, and leaders, in these states and others, have started a groundswell across the country! We will continue to grow exponentially as more individuals see the opportunity the Constitution Party provides.
So, what will you do with this opportunity?
Will you continue to support rhetoric and empty promises in a political party that does not represent your values? Or will you make a change?
“It does not take a majority to prevail … but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
Many are feeling alone and secluded right now and without value. Much of our society today is digital, without the face-to-face physical interaction with other human beings; and along with that comes a feeling of disconnect and a sense of not living in the real world. There are places where those feelings are taken advantage of by sales advertising, politicians, and agenda driven organizations.
Individuals are being convinced that their value is based on subjective standards, controlled by those intent on using those individuals for their own purposes. Any “betrayal” by the individual, and the subjective standards are twisted to attack the individuals worth.
“I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.“
Every individual needs to understand, and treasure, the truth that they have God-given worth that is not subjugated by subjective, manipulative communications from those with an agenda. This understanding is fundamental in our interaction and treatment of others. But, it is absolutely foundational in viewing ourselves and for pursuing the purpose that God created each individual for.
How do you get connected?
It is important to get connected, in person, to others in your community. Many great volunteer opportunities are available all around us that can provide some purpose in our lives and help us discover our gifts. We can also visit those in our communities who can’t get out; those who are truly cut off from other. As we engage in our communities, we will find others with similar interests as us and we will begin to see a future for our communities and a role for each of us in that communities.
Many opportunities to connect with others are all around us. You can also find special interest groups and groups that can help you prepare for the future. You also find numerous religious organizations that can help you find purpose and direction and community.
“He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.”
“Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude and perseverance. Let us remember that “if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom,” it is a very serious consideration that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event.”

Bad theories on voting strategies that we’ve all heard
1. “Lesser of two evils”
This theory advocates for voting for one candidate over another based on the stated belief that both are evil candidates, but one is less evil than the other. This theory does not advocate that one candidate is good, just less evil. It is an acknowledged vote FOR evil rather than a “losing” vote for good. This theory is proffered when your party puts forward a candidate that doesn’t represent what the party claims to stand for. This is an attempt to put the responsibility on you to support the party when the party is failing you.
2. Voting “against” the other guy/party
There is no option on any ballot to vote against a party. And, except in the case of a retention or recall vote, there is no ability to vote against a candidate. This theory is proffered when your party puts forward a candidate that doesn’t represent what the party claims to stand for. This is an attempt to put the responsibility on you to support the party when the party is failing you. This is especially true in places where your party offers you one of the other party’s candidates with your party’s label. In these cases, you are voting for the other party by default, since there is no option being offered to you.
3. We have to vote for a candidate that can win
There are so many problems with this bad theory it is hard to know where to start. The fact that someone would suggest that putting bad candidates in office is somehow “winning” is sad. This claim exists to keep party voters locked in. If those voters left the failed party and took their votes to a party that represented their values, the failed party would collapse and disappear. This theory is simply rhetoric designed to keep voters locked into a single party forever without regard for the poor quality of candidates and legislation the party provides. They also clearly recognize that their candidate can’t win unless they keep you locked in with rhetoric, because the party has failed you and the candidates they offer are poor options for you.
4. We can save the DEM/GOP from within
Doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting different results. There was a time when the party was young where this could have been true. But the DEM/GOP are so entrenched and so well bought that no real change is possible within the two old, dying parties.
The only effective strategy is to raise up other parties that will defend individual rights.
The Constitution Party encourages Citizens not to waste their votes on these bad theories. Instead, vote courageously, and commit your effort to a party that represents you.
“Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.”
We certainly oppose government social programs and government actions that do not comport with the purpose of government. Rather, we Constitutionists believe charity is the sole duty of individuals and/or private organizations.
NATIONAL CONSTITUTION PARTY CHAIRMAN
Justin Magill
Tenth Amendment
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
RESPONSIBILITIES RESERVED TO THE CITIZEN
While it is true that “Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government,” Citizens do have a duty to care for their families and communities.
We ask all of our members to look for the needs in their own communities and find ways to help those around them. Many communities have private organizations, social clubs, and churches that already have programs in place to assist others in the community. If there are no community assistance resources in your area, consider reaching out to others in your community to assist you in meeting a need.
One way to reduce the size of government is to meet a need to the point that government becomes obsolete in that area. Let’s return government to its limited role by stepping up and taking responsibility for our duty.
“I deem it the duty of every man to devote a certain proportion of his income for charitable purposes, & that it is his further duty to see it so applied as to do the most good of which it is capable.”
Thomas Jefferson – Extract from a letter from Thomas Jefferson to William Rogers and William Staughton, March 2, 1806
“Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distresses of every one, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse; remembering always the estimation of the widow’s mite, but, that it is not every one who asketh that deserveth charity; all, however, are worthy of the inquiry, or the deserving may suffer.”
George Washington, “The writings of George Washington,” 1835
Comparing what is said, with what the purpose of government is.
Some enjoy the excitement, debates, and speeches of elections, some dread the inundation of information and the ugly attacks on individuals and groups, but whatever your personal feelings about this season of civic engagement, how do you know who and what to support?
How do you get some real value out of the circus surrounding elections to decide who to support?
THE FIRST, AND EASIEST, STEP IS TO LOOK THROUGH THE LENS OF THE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.”
The purpose of government, and all public functionaries, is to secure Individual Rights to each individual.
Every claim should be filtered first through this purpose. Any advocacy for government doing something beyond this scope is an obvious Red Flag. Even if it is a claim or proposal from your favorite candidate or organization, this Red Flag should immediately put you on your guard.
What about those areas where reasonable minds may disagree about whether the service fits the purpose of government?
THE SECOND STEP IS TO FILTER OUT THE NOISE WITH A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT GOVERNMENT ACTORS WOULD NEED TO DO TO ACCOMPLISH THE PROPOSED ACTION(S) OR OUTCOME.
If Individual Rights have to beabused to accomplish the proposed outcome, it is an immediateRed Flag! In this “greater good” scenario, it is often claimed that the ends justify the means. The reality is that the means determine the ends. If the government is permitted to violate Individual Rights now, THERE WILL BE NO END TO THE VIOLATIONS.
Be sure to think critically this election cycle and share your thoughts with your friends and neighbors.
Technology, Privacy, and Constitutional Government
The Constitution Party affirms that technological advancement does not alter the fundamental relationship between the people and their government. The powers delegated to government remain limited by the Constitution, and the rights of the people do not diminish because new technologies make intrusion, surveillance, data collection, or centralized control easier.
The Fourth Amendment was written to secure the people in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures and to prohibit general searches by requiring probable cause and particularity. We hold that these principles apply no less in the digital age. A government that lacks constitutional authority to conduct a general search does not acquire that authority by employing a corporation, purchasing access to privately collected information, contracting for a surveillance service, or directing artificial intelligence to search and correlate information on its behalf.
Private enterprise and private property are essential to liberty.
Corporations and technology companies operating as private enterprises are therefore not government merely because they possess information or technology. But neither may government use a private corporation as an instrument to exercise powers government itself does not possess. When private technology is employed for governmental purposes, constitutional limitations upon government must remain intact.
This principle has immediate application to automated license-plate readers, facial and image recognition, artificial intelligence, data brokers, cloud databases, and other technologies capable of recording, retaining, combining, analyzing, and retrospectively searching information about the movements, associations, activities, or transactions of the people. The Constitution Party opposes the transformation of such technologies into systems of general governmental surveillance of people who are not suspected of crime.
The same constitutional principles apply to the rapidly expanding infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence and large-scale computing. The Constitution Party does not oppose data centers, artificial intelligence, or technological development as such. We support genuine private enterprise conducted with respect for private property and constitutional government.
We oppose government/private partnerships, special governmental privilege, involuntary public subsidy of private enterprise, and arrangements that transfer extraordinary private costs to taxpayers, utility customers, property owners, or communities that did not voluntarily assume them.
Government also has a duty to conduct the people’s business openly. Public money, public infrastructure, governmental authority, tax privileges, utility commitments, or other public resources should not be committed through secrecy that prevents meaningful accountability before governmental commitments become effectively irreversible.
Neither economic development, technological competition, administrative convenience, public safety, nor national security creates governmental power that the Constitution does not grant. Technology may change rapidly, but principles of constitutional government do not change.
The Constitution Party therefore affirms a simple standard: government may not use technology – or a private corporation providing that technology – to exercise power over the people that the Constitution does not give government itself.
Thanks to the actions of the RINO Party, many conservatives are on the lookout for better candidate options. In some states, this is also leading conservatives to look for a better party en masse. The Democratic Party is also facing the same shift in the face of the candidates they are putting forward as more independent candidates gain traction and support. As the two old dying parties begin failing, what opportunities does that open up for the Constitution Party?
S. Marshall Wilson for U.S. Senate West Virginia West Virginia deserves more than a career politician who flies into Charleston before election season and disappears once the votes are counted. S. Marshall Wilson is something Washington hasn’t seen in a long time — a candidate built by service, shaped by faith, and driven by a singular purpose: To secure the blessings of Liberty to the people of West Virginia.
I’ve been a mechanic for over 40 years. In that time, I’ve worked on just about everything you can imagine – cars, trucks, machinery, and systems of all kinds. One thing experience teaches you quickly is humility: no mechanic knows everything, and no machine should be altered just because someone thinks they have a better idea. When you’re dealing with a complex system, you don’t improvise. You respect its design. You consult the manual – not to reinvent it, but to understand its limits, its tolerances, and what it was built to do. That’s how I view the Constitution. The Constitution is not a tool for politicians to “fix” society, nor a shortcut to impose new ideas. It is a set of restraints – written to limit power, define jurisdiction, and protect the people from those who govern. When government follows it faithfully, things tend to work. When it ignores it, no amount of experience or good intentions can prevent damage. Experience matters. But restraint matters more. And a government that respects its limits is far more trustworthy than one that promises to fix everything.
We also have states with governor candidates where we are seeing a huge shift in voters to our party. Governors can provide a lot of political power and can pave the way for many other offices.
Rebecca Brextel, in Wyoming, is getting major attention as she is the only viable conservative candidate in the governors race. This race is bringing national attention to the RINO Party’s failure to produce republican candidates who represent the people. This obvious, intentional failure is causing a convulsion in that State that is resetting the balance of power and giving the Constitution Party of Wyoming a controlling interest in Wyoming.
In Michigan, the RINO Party has betrayed voters and candidates alike, driving Donna Brandenburg out of the party. She then found a home in the U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan, becoming their chairman and their current gubernatorial candidate. Brandenburg and the U.S. Taxpayer Party of Michigan have added many new County organizations providing a home for a multitude of conservatives who are deeply dissatisfied with the RINO party offerings.
A Wyoming voice for Wyoming families For more than 20 years, Rebecca has called Wyoming home, building a life, raising a family, and operating small businesses with her husband, Jonathan. She entered politics after watching outside consultants and political insiders take advantage of Wyoming, and she’s spent years since fighting for accountability, transparency, and Wyoming’s conservative values.
Donna Brandenburg is a Michigan-born lifelong entrepreneur, and constitutional conservative who has spent decades building businesses across energy, real estate, farming, technology, and other industries while creating thousands of good-paying jobs. As the 2026 U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan candidate for Governor, she is running to put families first by eliminating property taxes and the state income tax, implementing a true Department of Government Efficiency to slash waste and bureaucracy, restoring ironclad election integrity so every legal vote counts, and returning government to its proper constitutional role as a servant of the people—not their master. A non-stop seeker of truth and America First patriot endorsed by leaders who share her commitment to limited government, Donna knows Michigan and is ready to restore integrity, economic freedom, and the American Dream for every Michigander.
The Constitution is signed at the Federal Convention of 1787. On September 17, 1787, delegates to a federal convention signed the results of months of work. The Committee of Style brought their finished product to the rest of the delegates on September 12th, along with a proposed Letter to Congress, to send with the Constitution. The Committee had structured all the content that the full committee had approved and had polished the language. Over the next five days, the delegates reviewed, debated, approved, and signed the final version to be presented for ratification.
The framers in their own words describe the “Miracle at Philadelphia.”
George Washington
“It appears to me . . .Little short of a miracle that the delegates from so many different states (which states . . . are also different from each other in their manners, circumstances, and prejudices) should unite in forming a system of national government so little liable to well-founded objections.”
“The adoption of the Constitution will demonstrate as visibly the finger of Providence as any possible event in the course of human affairs can ever designate.”
“This Constitution is really, in its formation, a government of the people . . . No government before introduced among mankind ever contained so many checks and efficacious restraints to prevent it from denigrating into any species of oppression . . . The balances arising from the distribution of the legislative, executive, and judicial powers are the best that have ever been instituted.”
For 238 years, this Constitution has been recognized worldwide as the best Constitution ever written! Yet today, most Americans are clueless as to its value!
When enforced, it does what it was designed to do!
When we elect and support men and women, who violate the checks and balances, the purposeful division of powers, then We bear a measure of responsibility for the gradual loss of liberty, the creation of an all-powerful state, and the current state of lawlessness that is destroying the safety and security of all Americans! It is to our national shame that the people have carelessly disregarded such a treasure and despised the work of those who sacrifice everything to bequeath to their posterity the gift of liberty! Dr. Franklin understood well what was at stake and who was ultimately responsible, ‘We the people!’
Today’s question:
How can We, the people, right the wrong, and restore the Constitution as the rightful rule of law in this nation?
Get involved locally!!!
Could those men who deliberated and debated during that long hot summer 237 years ago ever imagine a time when the very document that formed a government that birthed a nation in liberty and prosperity that we once enjoyed, would no longer be honored or upheld?
May we embrace the wisdom and spirit of liberty of that time and dare to be Americans once more!
Letter from the Federal Convention President to the President of Congress, Transmitting the Constitution, September 17, 1787:
Sir,
We have now the honor to submit to the consideration of the United States in Congress assembled, that Constitution which has appeared to us the most advisable.
The friends of our country have long seen and desired, that the power of making war, peace, and treaties, that of levying money and regulating commerce, and the correspondent executive and judicial authorities should be fully and effectually vested in the general government of the Union: But the impropriety of delegating such extensive trust to one body of men is evident — Hence results the necessity of a different organization.
It is obviously impractical in the federal government of these states, to secure all rights of independent sovereignty to each, and yet provide for the interest and safety of all: Individuals entering into society, must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest. The magnitude of the sacrifice must depend as well on situation and circumstances, as on the object to be obtained. It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved; and on the present occasion this difficulty was encreased by a difference among the several states as to their situation, extent, habits, and particular interests.
In all our deliberations on this subject we kept steadily in our view, that which appears to us the greatest interest of every true American, the consolidation of our Union, in which is involved our prosperity, felicity, safety, perhaps our national existence. This important consideration, seriously and deeply impressed on our minds, led each state in the Convention to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude, than might have been otherwise expected; and thus the Constitution, which we now present, is the result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual deference and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensable.
That it will meet the full and entire approbation of every state is not perhaps to be expected; but each will doubtless consider that had her interest been alone consulted, the consequences might have been particularly disagreeable or injurious to others; that it is liable to as few exceptions as could reasonably have been expected, we hope and believe; that it may promote the lasting welfare of that country so dear to us all, and secure her freedom and happiness, is our most ardent wish.
With great respect, We have the honor to be, Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient and humble servants,
George Washington, President By unanimous Order of the Convention. His Excellency, the President of Congress

Government Overreach & Transparency: The federal government has expanded far beyond the limits set by the Constitution, creating agencies and bureaucracies that were never enumerated or authorized by the people. Institutions such as the Federal Reserve, fusion centers, and other unaccountable entities now exercise enormous influence over our economy, privacy, and daily lives, often operating with little transparency and virtually no meaningful oversight. This lack of accountability contradicts our fundamental constitutional rights and erodes public trust. I believe it is time to restore constitutional boundaries, demand full transparency, and hold federal agencies accountable to the people they serve – returning power to the states and reaffirming that no agency stands above the Constitution.

NATIONAL CONSTITUTION PARTY CHAIRMAN
Justin Magill
Lancaster, Pennsylvania – 26 August 2026
America is in the midst of a major political shift; away from the two old, dying parties, and back into the charge of individuals committed to the principles of self-governance. This is evident in the numbers of viable Independent and independent party candidates and in the pushback seen in municipal and schoolboard meetings.
The Constitution Party calls upon all Americans of any political persuasion to openly and expressly declare their separation from the Uniparty, and reclaim their independence from the “two-party” political system that has held Americans prisoner. To this end we have proclaimed our own DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE FROM THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM.
“We have called upon both parties, time and again, to reform — to open the political process, to listen to the voices of the people, to place country over party. But they have responded with gridlock, empty promises, or further entrenchment. A political establishment that refuses accountability and change is no longer fit to lead a free people.
We, therefore, the independent citizens of the United States, do solemnly declare that we are free and independent from the Democratic and Republican Parties — that we do not recognize any monopoly they think they have over our lives; that we claim the right to build new parties and movements, to support independent candidates, and to restore our republic to truly reflect constitutional principles.
And for the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the principles of justice, equality, and self-determination, we mutually pledge to each other our time, our energy, and our unwavering commitment to a better future.”
We invite voters, members, private organizations and Statesmen to support the open departure of Americans from the Uniparty. Now is the time for decisive action from all Americans!
Join us by signing our declaration, use our declaration in your own campaign against the Uniparty, or create your own declaration and program to make 2026 the Tipping Point which will bring back true self-governance to America (#2026TippingPoint).
