  • Giving Tuesday is right around the corner.

    Giving Tuesday is right around the corner.

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    Tuesday, December 2, 2025, has been designated as a time for everyone to show support for meaningful causes by giving financially towards their efforts. As a supporter of the Constitution Party, we are asking you to consider giving financially to our efforts.

    Americans continue to assert the need for another major party to give a better option than the Democratic and Republican Party. A recent Gallup poll has shown that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe a third Major U.S. party is “needed” with less than one-third of Americans believing the Democratic and Republican parties do an adequate job!

    Your support provides funds for growing local and State parties and running more candidates in more races. It also provides resources to expand our Ballot Access and give our presidential candidate a reasonable chance to win 270 electors.

    We appreciate any assistance, including one-time donations. However, we hope you will choose to give a re-occurring monthly donation, thereby expanding our base of support. Both the Founder’s Legacy Society Members and our National Supporting Members receive thank you gifts according to the level of support they provide. These gifts reflect our appreciation for your support and encourage education on the fundamentals Liberty.

    Please mark your calendars for this important event and discuss what you will be able to commit to bringing freedom back to our country. We hope you will say, as our founders said, “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

    To pay by check you may find the form here to print and mail in.

    “Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.”

    John Adams

  • Will 2026 be the Tipping Point?

    Will 2026 be the Tipping Point?

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    Marjorie Taylor Green, Republican representative from the state of Georgia, has announced that she will resign from Congress effective January 5, 2026.

    “There is no “plan to save the world” or insane 4D chess game being played. When the common American people finally realize and understand that the Political Industrial Complex of both parties is ripping this country apart, that not one elected leader like me is able to stop Washington’s machine from gradually destroying our country, and instead the reality is that they, common Americans, The People, possess the real power over Washington, then I’ll be here by their side to rebuild it.”

    Marjorie Taylor Greene

    There is a continued cycle of conservatives fighting to save the Republican Party while the GOP embraces more globalism and socialism. There is a blind belief that conservatives cling to, that the GOP can be “saved”; all the while they waste their blood, sweat, and tears as the situation continually worsens. Each conservative must come to the realization on their own, of the futility of continuing with the GOP. But just imagine if, instead of putting themselves through the grinder first, they all simply looked at the decades of GOP history that show the rapid decline and came to the realization en mass.

    Howard Phillips started the Constitution Party in the early ’90s because he recognized then that there is no saving the GOP. He created the Constitution Party as an ark for Americans who are left behind and beaten down by the GOP. Every American needs to take a good look at this cycle and ask this question: Will I continue to support the GOP in its abuse, or will I pull my support from the GOP and support rebuilding America on securing individual rights, limited government, and political functionaries that answer to We the People.

    The Constitution Party has been growing over the last couple years as more and more individuals are taking a good look at “politics as usual.” 2026 will see some major gains in our party as our States grow and our Statemen win more offices.

    Will 2026 be the tipping point where America returns to the fundamental principles of Liberty and self-governance that made it great?

  • The Lame Duck and how to use it for good.

    The Lame Duck and how to use it for good.

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    “The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they ought.”

    Samuel Adams

    During the time between when a new person is elected and the old person leaves the position, there is a period where the old person can act without concern for what the action may mean for re-election. This outgoing official is known as a Lame Duck.

    Very often we see them do bad things during that period that the general public would be opposed to. Because they are not concerned about getting re-elected (since the public already elected someone else), they do not feel the accountability from the public that they are normally faced with.

    However, We the People can turn this around. We can put pressure on the public official to do what is right in spite of the political party pressure to do what is wrong. Occasionally, a public official simply lacked the courage to do what was right in the face of political pressure from parties or other politicians. The Lame duck period may be pointed out to them as a time to do what is right and get away with it.

    The Lame Ducks always need to see We the People in audience at public meetings. Whether we provide accountability to those intending to do harm during this period, or whether we provide support for those intending to do what is right during this period, they always need us there to encourage good governance.

    “If ever the Time should come, when vain & 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

    While the official results are not in on many races, we are seeing some exciting unofficial wins. In the Clarion-Limestone School District in Pennsylvania, it looks like two Constitution Party candidates to the school board have won their races. This would bring the total number of School Board CP members to 4 out of 9 in Clarion-Limestone giving the CP of Clarion County a strong influence in the education of their children and grandchildren.

    We look forward to hearing about all the official wins that CP members have achieved this election cycle!

    We are also excited to see the continued building of the CP at the local levels. CP local organizations and members do not have to win every race to make an impact in their area. These local races help build the party’s name recognition and let people know what we stand for. This in turn helps build the local party as people see what we have to offer.

    If you have not connected with your local CP organization yet, now is the time. Visit our State Leadership page for more information.

  • 15 November 1777: The Articles of Confederation

    15 November 1777: The Articles of Confederation

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    The Articles of Confederation were adopted by the Second Continental congress on this day in 1777. They were not ratified until March 1, 1781, when Maryland became the last State to ratify.

    In the short period between ratification, the war’s ending, and 1786, relations between States eroded to the point where our Founder’s began calling for a convention to correct the issues in the Articles. In 1787 they succeeded in having a convention. That convention wrote a new Constitution and proposed that it be ratified by State conventions, thereby circumventing the unanimous agreement requirement in the Articles of Confederation for any changes to that constitution. U.S. Constitution was ratified June 21,1788.

    After declaring independence from British rule, the States each became sovereign nation states. But the Founders understood that they needed some unity of action to succeed in their war for independence and their attempts to gain recognition from other countries.

    Previous attempts at unifying the governments in America, such as the Albany Plan, had failed as the various governing powers did not want to lose any authority to any other government. The idea of giving power to a new central government while fighting to achieve independence from the current central government was repugnant to many.

    The Second Continental Congress created a committee of one representative from each colony to create a form that the new “national” government would take. The primary writer of the Articles of Confederation was John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware. After much debate and alterations, the Articles were adopted by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777.

    Anyone can write to their representatives.

    Anyone can, and should, be in contact with the public functionaries who represent you in government. It is important for everyone to write, email, call, or meet in person their representatives in government to admonish, encourage, or educate them. Ask them if they know what the purpose of government is. Make sure they understand that their role is to secure individual rights.

    When you write, or talk, to your representatives, write one good thing they are doing and correct one bad thing, or educate them on one thing they should be doing. This balanced approach makes it easier for them to hear your constructive criticism.

    If your public functionaries are doing a good job in the face of opposition, they need to hear that there are those who support them. They may also need your support by showing up at meetings on their side.

    Our public functionaries need to hear from us! Even if you don’t do anything else, contact a government official, at some level, today.

  • Debt Driven Consumerism

    Debt Driven Consumerism

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    We are once again reaching a tipping point where our debt spending is catching up to us. The answer most often peddled for this problem of our excessive debt load is more spending. But the harsh reality eventually comes crashing down as our inflated currency and massive debt load becomes too much for our production.

    We are seeing the signs that it will happen soon. With the massive inflation of the last decade, this bust cycle could be a rough one. But the “solutions” being suggested by our political functionaries, are all solutions for creditors to get more out of us, the consumers, and not solutions for us, the consumers, to reduce our debts.

    But it is time for every Citizen to take stock of the failed policies that have put us in this position. It is time for Citizens to correct their public functionaries misunderstanding, or lack of understanding (or blatant lies to their own advantage), about economics, and get us back on solid ground. It is time for Citizens to think critically about their own individual/family position and prepare for the coming downturn. It may be wise to tighten our belts and consider securing assets against the coming downturn.

    With the major shopping season ahead of us, very few politicians are going to suggest that we slow down our spending habits. They will instead tell you that you need to incur more debt to support our economy. They will try to sell you on new gimmicks that will help lenders and bury debt consumers. It is time for some serious introspection and critical thinking.

    When Berkshire Hathaway is stockpiling cash so they can take advantage of the coming downturn, individuals should start checking their silver, gold, and savings.

    Whatever you do, do NOT depend on the politicians. Get yourself prepared.

    “If ever the Time should come, when vain & 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

    Another election day has come and gone. We the people have secured some good public functionaries for office. And a great many more petty tyrants have also achieved public office. So where do we go from here? What do we do now?

    It is said that the very least a Citizen can do is vote. We agree. The most minute thing you can do is vote. You can’t do any less without doing nothing. One of the biggest obstacles to our Liberty in America is our own apathy and Citizens doing little or nothing.

    Our Founders gave us a system of government that is based on self-governance. When we abdicate our responsibility to self-govern, there are multitudes of power and money hungry individuals who will gladly take over. When we abdicate our personal responsibilities, we also allow the usurpation of our individual rights.

    When we don’t hold our public functionaries accountable, when we don’t educate them on the principles that liberty is founded on, we lose. Slowly, bit-by-bit, then faster and faster liberty dies. We allow government to go one step beyond its purpose of securing individual rights and the next thing we know, socialists and communists are in charge in our communities. Just ask New York City.

    So, what is the solution?

    We challenge you to attend at least ONE municipal, county, or school board meeting before the end of the year. Just ONE. Go and hear what is going on in your community. Maybe take a friend and discuss what you hear later on. Maybe attend one meeting of each body.

    Whatever you do, show up. The fight does not end on election night. It is just beginning.

  • Where Are We in America?

    Where Are We in America?

    Constitution Party National Chairman

    Justin Magill

    “It’s not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.”

    Seneca

    We recently had our fall National Committee meeting in Sparks, Nevada. The subtle but dominant message that we heard from every speaker was about the accelerated decline in America over the last decade. But every speaker focused, not on the discouraging decline, but on the growing awareness in America and on the victories won.

    In a recent Gallup poll, nearly two-thirds of Americans opined that the Democratic and Republican parties are doing such a poor job that another major political party is needed. This is a growing realization in the U.S. over the last several decades but the lack of follow through shows an alarming cowardice on the part of the voter. Many are afraid to commit to making another party a major party. Many have bought into the sales pitch of the DEMGOP party that a vote for a third party is “a wasted vote” and “will cause the “other” party to win” and therefore you have to vote for their team.

    But we also see a growing unrest and a recognition that the Democratic and Republican parties no longer represent the American people, nor do they fight to protect our individual rights. We see more and more politicians, who are fighting for the American people, being attacked by their own political party. We see major political players being labeled as the problem because they have dared to push back against the abuses their own political party is foisting on the American people.

    As the two major parties leave their voters behind and use and abuse them at every turn, we hope see a shift away from the two old dying parties and a return of the American spirit. But what will it take to cause this shift? It may simply take an overwhelming pain from the abuse to cause people to shift, but this isn’t the likely scenario. Look how far we the people have allowed things to go already.

    No, most likely, it will take the courage of a few individuals to stand in the face of the status quo. It will take the courage of a few more individuals to support them and fight for them. And after these individuals break the inertia that has held us captive, the impetus will gain speed and the two old dying parties will be discarded.

    But who are these courageous few who will lead this charge? We at the Constitution Party are reaching out to the public servants who have shown the integrity to stand for the rights of individual American against all odds. You can add you voice in encouraging these individuals to join a party that would support them. We are also training new volunteers in how to build and lead their State, County, and local Constitution Parties. And, we are looking for serious donors who can support major candidates to win larger races.

    So what can I do? Every individual must find the courage to stand up for individual rights right where they live. We must find the courage to express our support of individual rights and oppose government abuse of those rights at our municipal and school board meeting. We must make ourselves known so that other like-minded individuals can see us and join in our efforts. We may even need to run for local offices in governments that need to return to their limited role.

    We need Americans, unwilling to give up the individual rights of the people, who will stand up and be counted.

    “Our unalterable resolution would be to be free.”

    Samuel Adams

    National Chairman, Justin Magill

  • Constitution Party Passes Resolution to Defend Educational Freedom from State-Funded Intrusion

    At its semi-annual National Committee Meeting, held in Sparks, Nevada, the Constitution Party passed a resolution to “Defend Education Against State – Funded Intrusion.”

    It states, in part, that

    “The Constitution of the United States delegates no explicit authority to the federal government to tax or fund education, or to regulate education. All such powers are reserved to the states, or to the people of the states, under the Tenth Amendment.

    All human rights, including the right to govern one’s household and direct the upbringing and education of children, are endowed by the Creator and not granted by any government.

    The family is the first and foundational unit of government, with parents bearing the full responsibility and authority to educate their children as a matter of natural and divine law.

    The State does not own children, and it has no rightful claim over the direction of their education, particularly when such education is privately funded or directed within the home.”

    The Constitution Party declares that all forms of tax-funded subsidies for non-public education are unconstitutional, immoral, and
    incompatible with the principles of individual liberty, private property, and family sovereignty.

    The Constitution Party calls upon the legislatures of all fifty states to nullify, reject, and repeal any existing tax-funded programs that subsidize private, religious, or home education, and to refrain from enacting any such programs in the future.

    The Constitution Party rejects the redefinition of programs like ESAs as public education and affirms that such reclassification undermines both the integrity of public schooling and the independence of private and home education.

    The Constitution Party affirms the sacred right of parents to educate their children without enticement, interference, or coercion by the State.

    The Constitution Party rejects any claim—explicit or implied—that children are wards of the State, and we declare that no government has authority to intrude upon the God-given hierarchy of the family, where parents, not politicians, are the rightful stewards of the next generation.

    The Constitution Party warns all liberty-minded citizens, churches,
    homeschool associations, and private educators that the rebranding of ESAs as “public education” is a Trojan horse for expanded government regulation, surveillance, and eventual control over private and home education. We urge all who value liberty to oppose this deceptive promise of state-funded “choice” and to defend the necessary wall of
    separation between education and state control.
