It was highly organized featuring guest speakers with interesting topics, delicious meals, and amazing musical entertainment by the Sanpete Family Choir and the Curated Arts Center.

EIGHT CANDIDATES VIE FOR NOMINATION AT THE CONSTITUTION PARTY CONVENTION

Seven of the eight candidates, who qualified to be considered for the Constitution Party’s POTUS nomination, gave a series of 18-minute presentations to the 110 delegates present from 23 states. The eighth candidate, identified as “Admiral Louis C. Hook”, was not present, provided neither a video nor other campaign materials, and no one spoke on his behalf.

Presentations, in alphabetical order, were as follows:

Dr. Daniel Clyde Cummings

Mr. David Gillie introduced Dr. Cummings as a man of honor who has spent over 60 years as a student of the US Constitution. So much so that Dr. Cummings knows that if elected he would “likely be assassinated.” (Dr. Cummings later shared that his wife shares that concern.)

Dr. Cummings then described the Democratic Party as an “organized crime” enterprise; and the Republican Party as a “disorganized crime” one. He then suggested while it was indeed an honor to be considered as a presidential nominee, it was in fact rather a “trust” and that while he would take an oath to the Constitution, his primary oath was one “written in heaven” and therefore more important than either the Supreme Court of the United States or of the US Congress.

Dr. Cummings also promised zero funding for the US Department of Education, other than the funds required for its “liquidation.”

Brandon L. McIntyre
In what proved to be the most lighthearted presentation of the day, Mr. McIntyre presented his “Let’s Go Brandon” campaign strategy, further noting that his middle initial “L” positioned him to be not only the Constitution Party Presidential Candidate with the best rallying cry (Let’s Go Brandon!) but also as the only BLM candidate (Brandon L. McIntyre).

While Mr. McIntyre is currently only 34, he was born 6 May 1989, he will make the age requirement for president of the United States in a bit over a week. He promised his campaign “will make it to the White House” where he will then ensure that both prayer and the US Constitution are returned to our public schools, private schools, and family homes.

Joel Skousen

Mr. Skousen began his remarks by indicating that he is 77 years old and had served as a pilot for the US Marine Corps. (In answer to a subsequent question, he promised to fly his personal aircraft to campaign events in support of the Constitution Party even if he was not the nominee.)

He then promised to “build the party not on the illusions of victory, but slowly with the truth”, further declaring, “I know conspiracy better than anyone in the USA” and that, “Vince Foster was killed by the deep state”.

Mr. Skousen closed his remarks to the convention by declaring, “I know I will not win (the nomination, because) most of you are locked up for another candidate; but were I to win the Presidency, I would pardon all of the January 6th protesters.”

He then took questions from the audience regarding social security and draining the swamp.

Ben Stewart

Mr. Stewart began his presentation by declaring “My slogan is: Love America, Be an American, Be part of the solution, not part of the problem”.

He then proposed turning the US Mexican border into a “New Panama (like) Canal” where immigrants could only enter over the drawbridges (when they were closed), and where for those who did not seek US citizenship (to be made available at public libraries), the only humanitarian aid would be available on the other side of the US/Mexican border.

He recommended all prescription drugs should be Made in America, because “foreign (made) pills could be poison.”

Mr. Stewart then offered a novel solution to paying down the US debt, saying . . .”I do not like the idea of selling off Alaska to pay for the debt.” He then proposed legalizing and taxing cannabis, asking the delegates, “Do you know how many people would smoke pot saying: ‘I’m helping pay down the national debt’?” Legalizing cannabis he declared would cause people who are currently broke to become business people who profit from producing and selling the product.

Regarding students he proposed, “teaching every American child to hunt, fish, and grow their own food.” Kids today “don’t know the difference between Xbox and a real gun.”

Randall Terry

Mr. Terry began his presentation with three television commercials which were projected on a screen at the front of the room, advocating for abortion prohibition.

Darrel Castle, long-time Constitution Party member, then introduced Mr. Terry saying that he initially declined the request for an endorsement but having had a change of mind regarding the images of the aborted – now wishes he could, “take those baby carcasses, hang one on every politician in D.C., and they could wear it for the rest of their lives.”

“A slaughter is happening in the Black community: the systematic murder of Black babies. Democrats and the Congressional Black caucus are pushing death-by-abortion on Black women and their babies. Our so-called leaders have sold . . . us . . . out. They have blood on their hands, blood from the murder of Black babies.  We must repent of voting for those who promote murder.”

Following the three-video presentation, Mr. Terry began his remarks with: “This is not a face you will see in the White House; I will not get elected. I do not want a place at a table with Planned Parenthood; I want to turn that table into firewood!

Regarding abortion: “The Democrats are running on it; the Republicans are running from it; I want to run at it!  Run to the Roar!  We will not equivocate”.

Samm Tittle

In a rapid-fire, passionate, presentation, the following exemplar quotes were made:

“I am going to be your president.  I ran for you in 2012, 2016, and 2020 and this is it!”

“I want immigration just the way they do it in China; you don’t get to get in for free.”

“I’ve danced with the only five-star General . . . Omar Bradley.:

“I do not fear a man who can take my body; I fear a God who can take my soul.”

“I won New Mexico for the Constitution Party in 2020.”

“All lives matter, stupid!  Jesus rode an ass.”

“I want your vote.”

With 10 minutes remaining, the floor was opened for questions. Comments in the Q&A included:

“We need to get the land back from the Bureau of Land Management.”

“Let’s get children back to work (on their education) after we get the illegals out with a note in their own language that says – If you come back, you will be housed in a federal penitentiary.

“The globalists are right here; China is among us.”

“Lawyers can file class action suits in Utah to reclaim land from the federal government.”

Paul Venable

Mr. Venable was introduced by Donna Brandenberg. “We cannot do this with money. We need knowledge, strategy, and a team.

Mr. Venable shared about an experience in January of 2003 when he awoke with a clear knowledge that he was to move to Idaho and work to preserve the US Constitution.

At some point after he was old enough to discover what was on the other side of midnight, he was up late with his father, a veteran of World War II, and while they were watching TV together, eventually it was time for the station to sign off. The Star-Spangled Banner started, signaling the end of the broadcast day when a little past half-way through, his father got up, walked across the room and turned off the television (we did not have remotes back then).  He noticed Paul’s unspoken but quizzical inquiry. To which he just calmly responded, “I never want to hear America’s song end”.  Paul said that he could not have conveyed in a thousand words what he had taught him in that moment.

“I want to thank my parents; they taught me liberty.  Ephesians 6:12 says there will be wickedness in the high places.  I had no idea how deep the deep state is.  We are fighting an enemy that gains power and money from blood – the bloodshed of the womb, the bloodshed in Ukraine . . . at our border.”

“We need a Constitutional Repentance and Spiritual Revival.  The Constitution is not dead; it is abused, scarred, walked on, and ignored.  By who?  By you!  By We the People. It is We, the people, who must stand up and enforce the Constitution.”
