Contact: Gen Wilson, Georgia Right to Life PAC, 770-339-6880
NORCROSS, Ga., June 9, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ — Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) PAC today announced its endorsement of Constitution Party candidate Darrell Castle for President.
“America is in political and moral freefall,” said GRTL PAC Director Gen Wilson. “We need someone who understands our founding principles and truly respects the immeasurable value of human life. Darrell Castle is that person.”
Castle, a Memphis, Tennessee, attorney, has clearly stated his support for ending abortion, which has claimed the lives of more than 57 million innocent children since 1973.
“Some candidates support unlimited abortion, while others play word games to sound pro-life,” Wilson said. “It’s time to elect someone who will protect all innocent children.”
Wilson noted there is an extensive effort underway to get Castle on the Georgia ballot by June 30. She urged pro-life supporters to visit the Constitution Party of Georgia website, or call (404) 994.3586, to volunteer as a petitioner.
“Supporting a third party candidate is not a wasted vote,” Wilson said. “Abraham Lincoln was a third party candidate and Alaska U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski won her re-election as a write in candidate in 2012.”
Castle, a Vietnam War veteran who served with the U.S. Marine Corps, started his own law firm in Memphis in 1984. Since then, he has opened firms in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Detroit, Michigan; Kansas City, Missouri; and St. Louis, Missouri.
Concerning abortion, Castle believes the right to life comes from God and it is the role of the government to protect that right, not take it away.
“Our culture has been flooded with slick propaganda designed to cover up the truth about abortion,” Wilson said. “Darrell Castle sees through that smokescreen.”
Castle’s website states: “It is the nature of the State to seek dominance over the population. Freedom will not ultimately remain intact if we leave it unattended. America needs forward thinking leaders—leaders who do not apologize to the politically correct demands of the thought police. Self-hatred and appeasement only foster more disrespect. We must find a way to chart our course in the world as a free and independent people.”
Castle has also indicated his support for ending the Federal Reserve, the Environmental Protection Agency, and taking the U.S. out of the United Nations.
Georgia Right to Life promotes respect and effective legal protection for all innocent life from earliest biological beginning through natural death. GRTL is one of a number of organizations that have adopted Personhood as the most effective pro-life strategy for the twenty-first century.

Go, Georgia Constitution Party, Go! The party, as well as all third-parties, should be able to get on the ballot in all states with a signature count under 10,000
They need 7,500 valid, and since some petition signatures end up being disqualified due to technacalities, they will probably need at least 10,000 raw signatures, probably more.
Isn’t the deadline July 7th? If not, when is it?
The GA CP actually does have a ballot access drive underway. It is mainly made up of volunteers, though they are in the process of raising around $8000 to put them over the top with paid petitioners, if need be. The last numbers I saw showed they had collected over 1000 signatures and counting.
Do they have paid petitioners there? If not, they will almost certainly fail.
There is an effort to get signatures in Georgia, it sounds promising
The petition signature requirement in Georgia got dropped from 57,000 valid petition signatures down to 7,500 as the result of a lawsuit, but even so, I have yet to hear about the Constitution Party making an effort to get on the ballot in Georgia, so it looks to me like they probably will not make it.
What are the chances of Castle actually making onto the ballot in Georgia?
