Subject: Your investments are paying off!
Sent: Wed, Jul 17, 2013 9:30:02 AM
There are many reasons to support the Constitution Party. We have the only platform that clearly supports the right to life for unborn babies. We are opposed to the gay “marriage” cult. We strongly advocate closing the U.S. border to cut-off the invasion of illegal aliens. We have constitutionally based reasons to oppose outsourcing of American jobs to cheap foreign markets.
Thankfully the Constitution Party and its candidates have earned your support for these stands on issues and more.
But you donations are investments in the mechanics of achieving our goals as well.
That’s why I’m writing to you. I have some good news to share.
The Constitution Party has an important new asset at our disposal. It will prove more and more useful as ballot-access drives and political campaigns are underway. We now have the ability to reach all media in the country—13,061 outlets—every TV and radio station as well as every daily and weekly newspaper.
Tech-savvy volunteers have done all the hard work of putting it into a data base so we can mail it easily. A professional website company will enable us to send these media releases at amuch lower rate than that currently charged by professional services.
The initial mailings will be investments in a long term strategy: I do not expect the media to be banging on our door for opinions on issues and reactions to political developments. What wewill achieve however, over time, is to be on the radar screen. When reporters build-up a file on the CP and, for example, we announce a ballot access drive, there is a potential human interest/political story: who is collecting signatures and why.
In addition, candidate coverage will more likely happen when smaller media outlets know about the Constitution Party alternative.
This requires constant stoking of the media. I believe we can do this within our very tight budget—but only with the help of patriots who see the need for this critical component of promoting our candidates and our party.
We can complain about bias and being ignored by the media—oftentimes with good reason—but at the very least we have to be in the game to score some points. Regular contact with the media will slowly but surely pay off.
That’s why I am asking for your investment of $50, $75 or even $20. You see, if we cannot support this vital outreach to the media, we will shut out of any real opportunities to present our ideas and alternatives to the media.
Can I count on your support? A gift of $100 or even $15 is necessary to put the system in final order so that it is functional on a regular basis.
You can help the Constitution Party reach out to more than 13,000 media outlets, in a professional and ongoing process. I hope you catch my enthusiasm for this big step forward and invest in this vital and new outreach.
Sincerely,
Frank Fluckiger
National Chairman

Stiffing people who worked to get Constitution Party candidates on the ballot leaves a stain on the Constitution Party’s record. Hopefully they will erase this stain by paying all debts owed.
You can hope in one hand and crap in the other, see which one fills up first….
DT @ 2,
“Where does the Constitution delegate to the government the power to determine who I may purchase products from, or where those that I buy products from may obtain those products?”
Article I, Section 8: “The Congress shall have Power … To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes”
“We have constitutionally based reasons to oppose outsourcing of American jobs to cheap foreign markets.”
Oh really! Then you should change your name to the Constitutional Communist Party.
Since when, do “jobs” belong to the government of the United States? Where does the Constitution delegate to the government the power to determine who I may purchase products from, or where those that I buy products from may obtain those products?
Does the Constitution also delegate the power to decide whom I can sell my labor or productivity TO?
It is nice to read that the Constitution Party’s investments are paying off. So does this mean that they can finally pay the petition circulators who got stiffed out of money last year? I’ve been waiting for the rest of my money for over 10 months now and I’ve yet to receive a penny of the amount I’m owed.
How long are people who are owed money supposed to wait to receive it? I never agreed to wait more than 10 months to get paid for the work done in Alabama last year. It seems to me that anything beyond a week or two is unreasonable.
Some seem to think that this should be “covered up” or “swept under the rug,” but I believe in transparency. The Constitution Party is a political party, and Virgil Goode was their candidate for President, which is the highest single office in the land. If Virgil Goode can’t keep his word to pay people who did the hard work to get him on the ballot, then how can the American people trust him to keep his word about anything else?
My general experience with Constitution Party people are that they are good folk and that they offer a superior alternative when compared to the mainstream Democrats and Republicans, but I can’t say this about Virgil Goode.
Stiffing people who worked to get Constitution Party candidates on the ballot leaves a stain on the Constitution Party’s record. Hopefully they will erase this stain by paying all debts owed.
