THANK YOU CANDIDATES - THANK YOU SUPPORTERS

I want to personally thank and congratulate our party's excellent candidates for Congress, Mary Ruth Edwards and Randall Yearout. Our candidates represented our cause well during the primary election and they did us proud as they carried our message to thousands who had not heard it before.

Equal thanks goes to those who supported our candidates. In reality, our candidates are merely the representatives of those who support them - representatives sent forth into the public arena to declare to our fellow citizens our views and values. This is one of the purest forms of freedom of speech and one of the most effective ways to exercise a form of positive peer pressure by letting our fellow citizens know what we believe and encouraging them to join us in returning to a righteous standard.

The Yearout for Congress campaign brought its "Honor God, Defend the Family, Restore the Republic" theme to the front door of thousands distributing nearly 10,000 campaign cards in parades and precinct canvassing activities. The campaign gathered in many new supporters who we hope to organize into active Constitution Party county groups in the coming months. Though not all the votes are counted yet, Randall appears to have doubled his percentage of the vote over two years ago. As your state chairman, I'm always happy to see growth of any kind, but doubling in two years is the kind of growth I like to see. Our goal now needs to be to find the thousands of new people who voted for our candidate and turn them into active supporters who can help propel us to new heights in the next election cycle.

While Randall Yearout was our top vote getter, Mary Ruth Edwards may be our greatest success story. When Mary Ruth discovered and came to the Constitution Party a little over a year ago, she was our only contact in her entire county. I don't think we had a dozen active supporters in her whole Congressional District at that time. Since then, Mary Ruth has become our Benton County Coordinator, taught several presentations of the Institute on the Constitution and has now run for Congress. In the course of this, Mary Ruth has generated many new supporters for our cause and brought awareness of our party's existence to thousands who were formerly unaware. In one year Mary Ruth has gone from zero contacts to work with, to 65 campaign endorsements listed on her website. She has also taken the Constitution Party from having never had a candidate for the U.S. House in the 4th District, to getting over 4,000 votes and still counting.

Our candidates not only got votes, represented us and declared our message, but most important of all, they gave the God honoring,  freedom loving, Constitution upholding voters of the 4th and 5th Congressional Districts an opportunity to invest their votes in candidates who represented their values. Too often, we have been faced with a choice between compromising our values to vote for the lessor of two evils or simply not voting at all. Randall and Mary Ruth gave the voters of their districts an opportunity to invest the virtue of their vote in candidates of character.

As we now take a short breather, then begin to look forward to the 2012 election cycle, I want to encourage everyone who loves freedom enough to fight for it to consider offering yourself as a Constitution Party candidate in 2012. As this election cycle is finishing, we need to begin to identify, recruit and train Constitutionally sound candidates for every opening on the 2012 ballot - from county commissioner to state legislative races to Congress to Governor and other state-wide offices.

I realize I cannot speak for everyone, but I for one am no longer willing to desecrate my vote by giving it to candidates who do not represent my values. I will not give the empowering virtue of my vote to candidates who do not represent the bedrock principles of our Constitutional  republic. And I will not mislead my fellow Americans into believing that the policies of the establishment candidates are acceptable by endorsing those candidates with my vote.

I hope you will encourage your friends and neighbors, anyone with a commitment to our Constitutional form of government, to follow the courageous examples of Randall and Mary Ruth and offer themselves as candidates in 2012. If we do not provide an alternative, who will?

Thank You All! Candidates and supporters alike. May God bless and honor the sacrifices you have made.

The 5000 Year Leap book coverThe Constitution of the United States was designed by its Founders to work with an informed and virtuous population. Education was encouraged mightily as the Founders knew that an ill-informed public was likely to be uninvolved in keeping their liberty alive. The Founders held to 28 First Principles, which W. Cleon Skousen describes in his book, "The 5000 Year Leap", now in its 35th year of publication. These principles were laboriously incorporated into the Constitution, and all Americans should read this book to see why the Constitution was written the way it was.

It was no accident -- it was created with much thought and care. The patriots who wrote it on one side and those patriots who fought for the Bill of Rights' inclusion suffered much distress in the debating and the subsequent fight to have the Constitution properly thought of by the citizens, and accepted and ratified by the legislatures of the several States.

The Constitution Party of Washington encourages everyone reading this web site to pick up a copy of this book and read it closely. Glenn Beck is doing a signal duty by promoting "The 5000 Year Leap", and it is a best-seller. It has recently become the #1 bestseller in Amazon.com's Government category, and ranks #20 on Amazon.com's overall list of bestselling books.
