Financing the Constitution Party, Frank Fluckiger (Utah, former national chairman)
Frank explained how the Constitution Party is financed by donations. The foundation is the State Assessment, which is required annually from each affiliated state. It is $1000.00 and can be paid all at once or spread out over several months, and it can be paid by more than one person. It can be paid online here: Annual State Assessment – Constitution Party. Make sure you put the name of your state in the comments section of the payment form.
Another option is the new Founders Legacy Society. It incorporates the previous Howard Phillips Legacy Society and expands the Legacy of the shared principles of the Founders, Howard Phillips (founder of the Constitution Party) and members of the Constitution Party.

Report of the Website Design Committee and the Social Media Team, Cindy Redburn
Cindy gave an overview of previous website versions, and how the 2025 refresh sets the Constitution Party apart from the other parties. The goal is to attract new people to the party (especially the younger generations) — those who know something is wrong but aren’t sure what. The new website continues to get above average engagement and viewership, since its initial Independence Day launch.
The social media team is working to make similar posts across many platforms:
- X
- YouTube Original Channel and Original Vimeo Channel, both are archive resources of past recordings, dating back to 2014.
- YouTube Liberty Rising Channel, geared towards a new generation of Constitutionists
States are encouraged to send information about state activities and events to for inclusion on the national website when appropriate.
The team is also working on a “I am a Constitutionist” video series but we need your help. Please record yourself or others stating why they chose the Constitution Party in a two minute or less video. If you do not want to do a video, then please write a short statement. More about this in the future.
