    Farewell, 2025, It’s been an interesting year . . .

    CONSTITUTIUON PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    As 2025 comes to a close and we look forward to 2026, we consider the many things we want to do. We have built the new website in 2025 and we have many new features we will be adding in 2026 to make the website more interactive and easier to share with others.

    • We are pushing our mid-term election drives for States that have candidates for you to support.
    • We are searching for more volunteers to build new State Committees in States that we do not have a presence currently.
    • We are working to build our base of registered voters, donors, candidates, signature gatherers, and government watchdogs.

    BALLOT ACCESS

    2026 will be an important year as we work to establish ballot access in new States which will allow us to place candidates on the ballot without having to go through the petition process over and over again.

    Ballot access provides a viable vehicle for Statesmen to fight the establishment by getting out from under the control of the DEMGOP monopoly.

    VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVES

    We will be promoting several Voter Registration Drives to encourage voters to leave the DEMGOP monopoly registration lists. Many States determine a political party’s status by the number of registered voters they have. By diverting registrations away from the DEMGOP monopoly, we threaten their status, funding, and their narrative of being the only option.

    NURTURING THE GRASSROOTS

    We will also be continuing to focus on building the Constitution Party all the way down through the County level. As we grow, we continue to connect with more and more talented individuals with the skills to organize and drive the party at local levels.

    Every donation from you enables us to grow exponentially! Please consider one last donation for the year to help us launch into the New Year.

  • 23 December 1783: From George Washington to United States Congress

    23 December 1783: From George Washington to United States Congress

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    One of the most significant events of the American Revolution was the return of power from George Washington to Congress.

    George Washington had the popularity and the military power to establish himself as king in America. Instead, he resigned his commission back to Congress when the war ended.

    23 December 1783

    “The great events on which my resignation depended having at length taken place; I have now the honor of offering my sincere Congratulations to Congress & of presenting myself before them to surrender into their hands the trust committed to me, and to claim the indulgence of retiring from the Service of my Country.

    “Happy in the confirmation of our Independence and Sovereignty, and pleased with the oppertunity afforded the United States of becoming a respectable Nation, I resign with satisfaction the Appointment I accepted with diffidence—A diffidence in my abilities to accomplish so arduous a task, which however was superseded by a confidence in the rectitude of our Cause, the support of the Supreme Power of the Union, and the patronage of Heaven.

    “The successful termination of the War has verified the more sanguine expectations—and my gratitude for the interposition of Providence, and the assistance I have received from my Countrymen, encreases with every review of the momentous Contest.

    “While I repeat my obligations to the Army in general, I should do injustice to my own feelings not to acknowledge in this place the peculiar Services and distinguished merits of the Gentlemen who have been attached to my person during the War. It was impossible the choice of confidential Officers to compose my family should have been more fortunate. Permit me Sir, to recommend in particular those, who have continued in Service to the present moment, as worthy of the favorable notice & patronage of Congress.

    “I consider it an indispensable duty to close this last solemn act of my Official life, by commanding the Interests of our dearest Country to the protection of Almighty God, and those who have the superintendence of them, to his holy keeping.

    “Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of Action—and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my Commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life.”

  • Where is your Political Focus?

    Where is your Political Focus?

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    The Founding Fathers were not focused on getting limited, immediate concessions to the detriment of freedom in the long run. The Founders understood that they needed to make deliberate, strategic moves to secure liberty for generations to come.

    “The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.”

    George Washington

    They also understood that it was not simply about winning a war but about securing God-given rights. They fought for those rights. They formed governments based on those rights. They educated their children to understand those rights.

    “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

    They committed themselves to keeping liberty and to keeping government limited and in check.

    “Without liberty, law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without law, liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness.”

    James Wilson

    They understood that liberty must be secured every day so those in positions of power cannot take it.

    “It will not be denied that power is of an encroaching nature and that it ought to be effectually restrained from passing the limits assigned to it.”

    James Madison

    And they understood the danger that lurked in the shadows waiting for us to forget it was there.

    “I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

    Thomas Jefferson

    Where is your political focus? Do you have any political focus or concern? Do you only show up to vote? Do you attend local government meetings? Are you organized in your area to bring public pressure to bear on government?

  • 3 October 1789: Thanksgiving Proclamation

    3 October 1789: Thanksgiving Proclamation

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    New York, 3 October 1789 – President of the United States of America, George Washington

    “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

    “Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

    “And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

    “Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.”

    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.”

  • Constitution Party tells Conservatives 2026 is the tipping point

    Time to Unify under the Banner of the Constitution

    Americans who love their county, love liberty, and love their Constitution must start to make the hard choice to walk away from the two-party factionism that is destroying them.

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

    In her statement she said, “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.” 

    She is 100% correct when she says The PEOPLE have the true power.  She is 100% correct about the control of America by a Political/Industrial Complex is ripping this country apart.

    Howard Phillips started the Constitution Party in the early 1990s 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.  

    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. 

    Each 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 asks Marjorie Taylor Green, Rand Paul, Thomas Massie and other conservative leaders to ask themselves a similar question: “Will I continue to be part of the problem, or will I stand up and be a part of the solution by breaking away from the two-party paradigm which is destroying the Constitution.”  

    It will take great courage and strong minds to break the chains binding our Constitutional Republic and the Constitution.  The real test is if the American people and their leaders have the grit and stamina to make it happen.

    The Constitution Party has been growing stronger over the last couple years as more and more individuals are taking a good look at “politics as usual.”  2026 will see more major gains party as our State parties continue to grow, and our committed Statesmen win more offices. 

    We invite you to join us in making 2026 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.

  • Continuing to Build in the “Off” Years

    Continuing to Build in the “Off” Years

    CONSTITUTION PARTY NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

    Justin Magill

    “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.
