  • What is the Purpose of Government?

    What is the Purpose of Government?

    NATIONAL CONSTITUTION PARTY CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    The way we answer this question determines what we allow government, and our public functionaries, to do. The answer to this question is what we hold up against campaign rhetoric and legislative bills. It is what we should be basing our calls for government action on.

    So, what is the purpose of government?

    Webster’s 1828 – American Dictionary of the English Language states:

    “GOV’ERNMENT 4. The system of polity in a state; that form of fundamental rules and principles by which a nation or state is governed, or by which individual members of a body politic are to regulate their social actions; a constitution, either written or unwritten, by which the rights and duties of citizens and public officers are prescribed and defined; as a monarchial government or a republican government.

    Thirteen governments thus founded on the natural authority of the people alone, without the pretence of miracle or mystery, are a great point gained in favor of the rights of mankind.”

    Our founding Declaration of Independence states what the purpose of government is in America: “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 is to secure our Individual Rights!

    Do we live our lives in agreement with this Declaration? Do we demand that government secure Individual Rights, or do we demand that government violate Individual Rights to give us “safety and security?”

    When politicians promise to give us things, or deliver the pork, are we upset and calling them on the carpet to correct them, or do we grab all the entitlements we can and demand more?

    When public functionaries, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, are encouraged by ‘We the People’ to “legally” plunder us, very few will resist the temptation.

    Americans must ask themselves whether they support defending Individual Rights; and they must be honest with themselves about their answer to that question and whether their words and actions line up with that answer.

    What do you truly believe is the purpose of government? Beliefs lead to actions, and actions (and inactions) have natural consequences. Good intentions never negate the consequences of bad or poorly thought-out actions.

  • The Warrant Requirement of the 4th Amendment

    The Warrant Requirement of the 4th Amendment

    “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

    4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

    Reasonable vs. Unreasonable Searches & Seizures the 5 Must Have Elements of a Reasonable Search

    The main point is that we are not free from ALL searches and seizures, only unlawful ones. ALL FIVE of the following elements are present for that search:

    1. A Proper Warrant: The search and/or seizure is illegal if there is no warrant.

    2. Based Upon Probable Cause: There must be probable cause that a law has been broken or violated.

    3. Supported By An Oath Before A Common Law Court: The warrant must have been issued by a common law court.

    4. Particularly Describing The Place To Be Searched: If there is no description then they can search anything. No limits. This is why you never consent (see below)

    5. The Persons Or Things To Be Seized: Again same here. If there is no description or if you give consent then all bets are off. They can seize anything. Never give consent.

    THERE ARE NO OTHER EXCEPTIONS TO YOUR RIGHT TO PROPERTY WITHIN THE 4th AMENDMENT. ALL searches and seizures that do not have all Five elements present are in violation of the 4th Amendment and therefore in violation of your constitutionally recognized right to be secure in your persons and property.

    America 250 Fund Drive

    When in the course of human events we find ourselves once again being told by a tyrannical government that we must do whatever the government tells us, it is once again time to defend our God-given rights and limit our government. The uniparty has indoctrinated many with the belief that there is no choice but to vote for them and that a vote for anyone else is a “wasted vote” or a vote for the “other team.” Their bipartisan efforts to keep voter options limited is only surpassed by their bipartisan efforts to suppress our individual rights and take our money.

    “But, pardon me, my fellow citizens, I know you want not zeal or fortitude. You will maintain your rights or perish in the generous struggle. However, difficult the combat, you never will decline it when freedom is the prize.”

    Dr. Joseph Warren ~ Delivered at Boston, 6 March 1775

    Fight The Lies

    The Democratic and Republican parties are happy to use voters to maintain power, but they have grown completely tone deaf to the needs of their supporters. And they are losing major supporters as they push out those who object to the waste and abuse.

    • Tucker Carlson recently announced his leaving the Republican party.
    • Marjorie Taylor Greene has also announced that she is done with Republican party.
    • Thomas Massie was primaried when he stood for principles over party.
    Support the Uniparty Exit

    Everyday Americans have had enough. The youth are avoiding the uniparty and registering independent in record numbers. We have a growing opportunity…and the Constitution Party is capitalizing on it!

    As a national political party, we can scale up quickly with new volunteers and new donors to take on the uniparty across the nation. As our current ballot qualified States are adding more and more candidates, and more and more local organizations, we are looking to add more ballot qualified States.

    In New Hampshire, the Constitution Party has an opportunity gain ballot access, and gain recognized party status, through the efforts of the CP of NH and their 2026 U.S. Senate candidate, Edmond Laplante. We are currently raising funds and volunteers to assist in his signature gathering of 3,000 signatures to be placed on the general ballot this fall. With only 4% of the vote, the CP of NH will give New Hampshire a third political party to combat the uniparty.

    The Constitution Party of North Carolina is also gathering signatures to regain the right for North Carolinians to register with the CP of NC and to be able to place their candidates on the ballot without having to endure the odious and enormous challenge of signature gathering for ballot recognition.

    West Virginia recently gained their ballot access and has joined the ranks of other CP States that are able to offer candidates.

    We would like to be able to offer these candidates financial support for their campaigns and assist them with advertising since they will be facing media blackouts thanks to the uniparty. We are therefore running a major fundraising campaign through the end of 2026 to expand Americans’ political options, expand the CP’s ballot access, build State Affiliates, and support our growing number of candidates.

    In honor of America’s 250th birthday, we have a goal to raise $250,000 by the end of 2026. We have an opportunity to launch a major 2028 political revolution out of the collapse of the two old dying parties by taking advantage of the immediate situation. Your support right now will have an exponential impact down the road. Will you make a commitment to freedom now?

  • The claims of “birthright citizenship” exposed.

    The claims of “birthright citizenship” exposed.

    NATIONAL CONSTITUTION PARTY CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    BIRTH’RIGHT, noun [birth and right.] Any right or privilege, to which a person is entitled by birth, such as an estate descendible by law to an heir, or civil liberty under a free constitution.

    CITIZENSHIP, noun The state of being vested with the rights and privileges of a citizen.

    The term “birthright citizenship” is intentionally used to try to convince you of the legitimacy of the narrative they are pushing. The problem with their phrase is that their contrived definition denies natural law. Since citizenship is inherited from the parent, an accurate definition of birthright citizenship is “a right of citizenship descendible to the child from that child’s parent.”

    This natural law is clearly spelled by Vattel in his Law of Nations:

    The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law (1758)

    Emmerich de Vattel

    BOOK 1, CHAPTER 19: Of Our Native Country, and Several Things That Relate to It

    212. Citizens and natives.

    The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.

    The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; (emphasis added) and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent.

    We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country. (emphasis added)

    215. Children of citizens born in a foreign country.

    It is asked whether the children born of citizens in a foreign country are citizens? The laws have decided this question in several countries, and their regulations must be followed. By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); the place of birth produces no change in this particular, and cannot, of itself, furnish any reason for taking from a child what nature has given him; (emphasis added)

    I say “of itself,” for, civil or political laws may, for particular reasons, ordain otherwise. But I suppose that the father has not entirely quitted his country in order to settle elsewhere. If he has fixed his abode in a foreign country, he is become a member of another society, at least as a perpetual inhabitant; and his children will be members of it also.

    Thus by natural law, their definition of birthright citizenship is nonsensical and in direct contradiction to natural law.

    We see this understanding of natural law citizenship inheritance reaffirmed by our Founders right after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. David Ramsay, often called the historian of the American Revolution, reiterated this in his 1789 dissertation:

    A DISSERTATION ON THE MANNER OF ACQUIRING THE CHARACTER AND PRIVILEGES OF A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES.

    PRINTED IN THE YEAR MDCCLXXXIX. David Ramsay

    4th. None can claim citizenship as a birth-right, but such as have been born since the declaration of independence, for this obvious reason: no man can be born a citizen of a state or government, which did not exist at the time of his birth. Citizenship is the inheritance of the children of those who have taken a part in the late revolution: but this is confined exclusively to the children of those who were themselves citizens. Those who died before the revolution, could leave no political character to their children, but that of subjects, which they themselves possessed. If they had lived, no one could be certain whether they would have adhered to the king or to congress. Their children, therefore, may claim by inheritance the rights of British subjects, but not of American citizens.

    Citizenship bestowed at birth is confined to the children of those who were themselves citizens. The place of birth does not change this inheritance, and if the child is born to a non-citizen, it is only the child’s place of birth and not their country.

    This understanding was reaffirmed again by the 14th Amendment: “All persons born…in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The requirement here, for a child to be born a citizen, is the place of birth plus the citizenship of the parents. A person who is not an American citizen can be deported because they are subject to a foreign jurisdiction. Conversely, and American citizen cannot be deported because they subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

    Countries that chose not to follow the natural law did so for obvious reasons. The British laws at the time of the American Revolution declared every child born to a British subject, and every child born in any place under British rule, to be British subjects. The most obvious point to be made here is that these people were considered to be owned by the British king. This contradictory policy claimed the maximum number of humans that could be claimed for Britain. This was not an attempt to give a gift, but to capture a resource. The British government tried to maximize their human resources and then tried to maximize what they could extract from them.

    The decades leading up the American Revolutionary War were filled with British attempts to tax and control their subject here in America and the colonists defending their natural rights. The continued abuses on the colonists by a government that view them as property drove the colonists to rebel and declare their independence from Britain.

    Our current uniparty government in America has taken on the same mindset. They continue to look for ways to pile on more national debt, steal through inflation, and assert their right to tax us as they see fit. They have declared us to be a mere resource of theirs to use and abuse.

    On this 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence let us throw off the chains of the two-party system mindset and declare ourselves to be Citizens and not merely subjects to the uniparty.

    The Uniparty is Out, America is Back.

    “As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar perhaps singular. What do we mean by the revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington.”

  • The Shocking Taste of Freedom

    The Shocking Taste of Freedom

    NATIONAL CONSTITUTION PARTY CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    The FIFA World Cup has been hosted in the USA, and individuals who have come from all over the world have been shocked at what their visit has revealed. It isn’t just the amount of freedoms that we have that has been such a shocking experience, but what those freedoms have produced.

    There have been many comments by foreign visitors, who have come for the World Cup, about the things the talking heads in their own country have told them that they have found to be untrue. They have found a welcoming, friendly environment where they have been heartily invited to taste all that our freedoms have to offer. Everything from new foods to new wilderness adventures to travel and accommodations have been on display. It has reflected well on all Americans, and we hope it causes Americans to stop and think and remember what it took to reduce government back to the point where we can experience our freedoms.

    On this 250th birthday of the United States of America, we invite all Americans to recommit themselves to self-governance, limited government, and to securing individual, God-given rights.

    “But pardon me, my fellow citizens, I know you want not zeal or fortitude. You will maintain your rights or perish in the generous struggle. However, difficult the combat, you never will decline it when freedom is the prize.”

    POET’s CORNER.

    15 June 1776

    From the Lyon’s Mouth.
    WAR an ODE.

    ON all these dreary plains,
    There yet a sorrowing Muse remains,
    Who has seen with weeping eye,
    These former domes of love and joy,
    Happiness, contentment, case,
    And Freedom cloth’d in robes of peace,
    Where the Graces us’d to play,
    Now fallen desolation’s prey;

    With her I’ll view the scene of blood
    And destruction, that pursued
    The tracts of Mars, stern God of war,
    When, riding in his brazen car;
    Drawn by horses swift as wind,
    With all the furies close behind,
    And civil discord in his train
    He took his way o’er heaps of slain.

    First, shrouded in the veil of night,
    To Lexington we’ll take our flight.
    Borne on fancy’s rapid pinions,
    Swift I fly through liquid regions,
    Already do I see the ground
    On which, her brows with cypress bound,
    Britain’s genius mournful view’d
    Her children shed each other’s blood.

    Sudden darkness round is spread,
    Hark! What roaring peals of thunder!
    See the forked lightning fly!
    The bodies of the mighty dead,
    Their icy bands have burst assunder,
    And, in silent majesty,
    Rising from their tomb,
    Stalk along the awful gloom.

    Oh! from this more than deepest night
    Quickly let us take our flight;
    Swift as thought, convey’d through air,
    I stand on Abr’am’s fatal plain,
    Soft pity sheds a tender tear,
    To think how many heroes, slain,
    In the pride of youthful bloom,
    On this spot have found a tomb.

    Ah me! what hosts in dread array
    Towards yonder City bend their way.
    Hark! the angry cannons sound;
    Nought but flame and smoak is seen,
    Streams of blood bedew the ground,
    Alas! how horrid is the scene.

    Here the Son, his Parent’s pride,
    The only comfort of their age,
    On the field all crimson dy’d,
    Feels the Tyrant’s keenest rage,
    Here the bleeding Father lies,
    His Widow’s and his Orphan’s cries
    Assault his dying ear,
    And fills his soul with deep despair.

    Here the Patriot bends beneath
    His wounds all honest on the breast,
    He feels the approaching hand of death,
    And with groaning sinks to rest,
    That eye is clos’d in endless night
    Which late flash’d terror round,
    The arm so terrible in fight
    Now helpless lies upon the ground.

    Here the Lover seeking fame,
    Meets a glorious death;
    While his much lov’d Mistress’s name
    Sounds upon his last breath.
    Be calm, my tortur’d Soul, he cries,
    Ye boisterous winds your raging cease,
    Least my dreary, mournful sighs
    Wound my fair Amanda’s peace.

    But let some gentle breathing Zephyr,
    In the softest, tenderest whisper,
    Convey the tidings to her ear;
    The drop, if she does drop a tear
    Oh! let some little Cherub save,
    And borne on pity’s downy wing,
    The pearly treasure bring,
    And cast it on my grave.

    Most happy men! your troubles cease,
    Your souls are fled to realms of peace;
    Beyond a cruel Monarch’s power,
    In some blest Elysian Bower,
    Where bloody Tyrants ne’er can come;
    Perhaps ye read your Country’s doom.
    Oh! say, will never peace return?
    Ah! are we ever doom’d to mourn?

    Self whisp’ring reason tells me no,
    Our sorrows soon will cease to flow;
    Peace again will bless this shore,
    Smiling Freedom will return,
    And horrid war no more
    Shall cause this land to mourn.
    The Almighty’s self will interpose
    This scene of blood to close.

  • The Committee of Five

    The Committee of Five

    NATIONAL CONSTITUTION PARTY CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    “If ever the Time should come, when vain and aspiring Men shall possess the highest Seats in Government, our Country will stand in Need of its experienced Patriots to prevent its Ruin.”

    Samuel Adams

    On June 11, 1776, the Continental Congress selected five men to serve on a committee for drafting a Declaration of Independence in accordance with the resolves proposed by Richard Henry Lee. The Committee of Five, John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R. Livingston of New York, and Roger Sherman of Connecticut, were chosen for this task.

    The Committee of Five discussed the structure it should follow, then asked Thomas Jefferson, the Virginian, to prepare a draft of the declaration. Thomas Jefferson’s first draft was then discussed and minor edits made by the committee.

    The Committee of Five would present their proposed declaration to the Continental Congress on June 28, 1776.

    In Congress, July 4, 1776

    The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    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, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

    He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

    He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

    He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

    He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

    He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

    He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

    He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

    He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

    He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

    He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

    He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

    He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

    He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

    For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

    For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

    For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

    For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

    For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

    For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

    For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

    For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

    For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

    He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

    He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

    He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

    He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

    He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

    In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

    Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

    We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

  • The Lee Resolves

    The Lee Resolves

    NATIONAL CONSTITUTION PARTY CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    “If ever the Time should come, when vain and aspiring Men shall possess the highest Seats in Government, our Country will stand in Need of its experienced Patriots to prevent its Ruin.”

    Samuel Adams

    On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee proposed several resolves in the Continental Congress. These resolves set the stage for the American Colonies to finally separate from Great Britain. And while the Continental Congress did not immediately vote on Lee’s resolves, after some discussion it did move forward with appointing three committees (one for each piece of the resolves) to begin constructing the documents required by the resolves.

    Many delegates to the Continental Congress wanted to correspond with the legislatures that sent them, to get instructions on how to proceed. The delegates were generally agreed that this was the only recourse left to the Colonies, but things needed to proceed in an orderly, legal fashion.

    The resolves by Lee were clear and clean as to independence and as to the next steps to take.

    Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.

    That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances.

    That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective Colonies for their consideration and approbation.

    250 years later, as the cycle of human events has once again turned away from the hard-won liberty of America’s Revolution, the Constitution Party National Committee took a stand against a different form of tyranny and passed the Resolution of 2026.

    Whereas the Democratic and Republican parties have manipulated the political systems in the United States and created a UNIPARTY to gain and maintain power and control over the rights of Citizens to further their own agenda;

    Whereas the UNIPARTY has pitted Citizens against each other for the purposes of fundraising and political theater, disturbing the domestic tranquility of the nation;

    Whereas, the UNIPARTY has consistently put the interests of corporate entities before the rights of the Citizens;

    Whereas the UNIPARTY has made claims of owning our votes and has used psyops to indoctrinate the public into believing that voting for someone not approved by the UNIPARTY is wrong and harmful.

    Whereas the UNIPARTY no longer represents We the People, nor protects our rights;

    Be it Resolved, That we Citizens and Voters are, and have a right to be, free and independent in our voting, that we are absolved from all allegiance to the UNIPARTY, and that all political connection between them and the Citizens and Voters of these united States is, and ought to be, totally dissolved to maintain our constitutional governance.

    Therefore, the Constitution Party calls on We the People to declare their independence by renouncing their loyalty to the UNIPARTY.

    NATIONAL CONSTITUTION PARTY CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    Candidate for U.S. Senator from New Hampshire

    Edmond Laplante’s Vision, in his own words

    “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.”

    So why is the uniparty so afraid of Ed?

    Ed’s campaign is about bringing transparency and accountability to our public functionaries. He wants the people to hold officials to their oath of office and to the Constitution that they have sworn to uphold. This push for a Constitution Revolution, to limit government and return freedom to the people, makes him a danger for the uniparty. The uniparty cannot allow a candidate who actually represents the rights of the people to succeed.

    What can you do to help?

    Consider helping the Constitution Party of New Hampshire with their signature gathering efforts. Ed needs 3000 signatures to get on the ballot this fall. If Ed is able to get at least 4% of the vote this fall, the Constitution Party of New Hampshire will have ballot access in the future and will not need to waste time and money on gathering signatures.

    If you live in New Hampshire or know someone in New Hampshire, please share this article with them. This is a HUGE threat to the establishment parties who want to keep control!

    If you don’t live in New Hampshire, you can still help get Ed on the ballot this fall:

    • Donate to the CP National Ballot Access fund HERE (put in the comments that you are donating for Ballot Access);
    • Donate to CP of New Hampshire HERE;
    • Donate directly to Ed’s Campaign HERE.

    “But, pardon me, my fellow citizens, I know you want not zeal or fortitude. You will maintain your rights or perish in the generous struggle. However, difficult the combat, you never will decline it when freedom is the prize.”

    Dr. Joseph Warren, 6 March 1775
