Posted on the Constitution Party’s Facebook page May 30th:
Dear Compatriot:
I want to share with you the story of two Constitution Party members—actually one member and one former member.
The former member was a rising star: articulate and enthusiastic, he took the initiative to go into his local precincts and organize showings of educational and recruitment videos. Those DVDs have been used with much success by our party—they explain the Constitution and how the crises America faces can be solved via a return to Constitutional principles that only our party stands for.
His tireless efforts slowly but surely paid off: Constitution Party membership was up, and he and our party were being noticed. But success, as encouraging as it was, did not satisfy the desire we all have for quick and clear results. He became active in another patriotic group that has a higher profile.
Our friend is now investing his talent in an organization that works to “reform” the Republican Party but they want to do so without being “controversial.” Discussions about the right to life for the unborn or the ramifications of gay marriage are taboo.
You and I know that the difference between other patriotic groups and the Constitution Party is that we use the whole Constitution as our platform, and that we understand our agenda—which addresses important issues inclusive of a moral perspective—can only be enacted by a new political party. It’s a harder road to travel, but it is the right one.
Which brings me to our Constitution Party member.
He is a respected local businessman who also coordinated our pilot project, organizing precinct by precinct presentations of the DVDs on the Constitution. Again, party membership went on the upswing, and he was becoming a voice in the community that people listened to. His perseverance and focus was worth the time and talent he invested. He and another Constitution Party member were elected to the local city council. Lesson learned: our formula for success is that an unyielding platform, presented creatively to educate and motivate voters, can equal political success with the right candidate and a well-organized campaign.
Many of us have experienced the disappointment of seeing a good Constitution Party member getting discouraged and dropping out or being attracted to patriotic groups. Don’t let that distract you from the job at hand: the restoration of our Republic. Our work is done by educating and motivating our fellow citizens, and can be done by one city council race … one state senate campaign … one gubernatorial contest at a time.

One last note: when I was elected National Chairman of our party, my first order of business was to be sure we run our operations on a sound financial footing. Fund raising has to be a priority. I asked three active members of the party to serve as a Finance Committee and they have been concentrating time and talent solely to that end. I urge you to read their special message in our newsletter and consider their advice. Educating and motivating voters, attaining ballot access, and recruiting and running campaigns requires your financial investment. I’ll leave it to the Finance Committee to report on our progress and the challenges we face.
Sincerely,
Frank Fluckiger
National Chairman
Yeah, wouldn’t want to get him too excited.
And as you see here-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_republicanism#Political_parties
Those Irish political parties that supposedly represent Poblachtánachas Éireannach are those of the marxist persuasion, though Sinn Fein is a tad more moderate then the others… Previously it wasn’t.
Been like that since the civil war, and if the idiots of the Republican side simply gave Collin’s approach and governing a chance, instead of taking up arms against the Free-State government- then the north and south would have been unified within a few decades.
That was how Poblachtánachas Éireannach used to be, before the civil war. And now it has become permanently corrupted by socialism and Left-wing nationalism; those “dissidents” have sadly seized that banner among the public perception.
FYI the belief that Ireland should be a united Independent Republic isn’t something that’s limited to your interpretation of republicanism, but rather includes those across the political spectrum and even those of non-Irish nationally & ethnicity as well.
And it especially isn’t limited among the Catholics only.
I sure don’t. Irish republicanism (Irish: Poblachtánachas Éireannach) is an ideology based on the belief that all of Ireland should be an independent republic.
Michael Collins believed that, as do most Irish people today. They just aren’t republican “dissidents” who want to overturn the treaty with violence. Please, pay attention.
Well Trent, looks like you need to catch up on your civil war history.
Then again, all you can come up are phrases and insults of a few sentences here rather then anything intelligent, or are you still sore that I booted you out of the CCTUC facebook group because the only thing you did on there was act like a 5-year old.
Also: You broke the rule of banter. If I call you “peckerhead”, then using “peckerwood” as a retort breaks Tesla’s Rule of Creativity.
Someone doesn’t realize Collins and Fine Gael are republicans, just not republican dissidents. ruh roh.
Cody–I’m having a laugh with you, homeboy. You really need to take an ambien or something and just calm down.
BTW, there is no ‘below-the-belt’ with me on insults.
How nasty would you like this to get, Trent?
“A tale of two members”? Don’t tell Don Grundmann!
So you’re admitting you’re a Left-winger?
Sorry but I’m with Michael Collins & Fine Gael on Irish unity; the Republicans blew it on that front and won’t be the force that unites Ireland when that day comes.
Too bad a inbred peckerwood like you didn’t know that, boyo.
Cody–c’mon, I’ll call you some names, you can call me a few…but Irish Republicans calling each other orangemen? That’s below the belt, even for a peckerhead like you 😛
NF- not till July 12th. Though things haven’t been as bad there as they have during The Troubles.
Seidenberg: F minus.
Article: Reads like fiction.
Nice try, Mark. After four attempts it still doesn’t work.

Is it Marching Season already? 🙂
So do I, Mr. Orangeman.
“Obviously your Anglo personality can’t understand Irish wit.”
Said the plastic-paddy to the person that actually has family in Ireland.
Lol
It makes a lot more sense after a handle or two 🙂
Obviously your Anglo personality can’t understand Irish wit.
LMAO. Someone FORCED him to sleep in? WOW.
You’ve lost it. You were never really all there anyway, but you’ve LOST it.
Yes.
A exaggerated flight and an intentional lack of communication certainly did.
Bible thumping and Constitutionalism are actually two different things.
“Have to agree with you there; Joshua Fauver’s First Amendment rights certainly got obstructed at the national meeting in Baltimore.”
Did someone force him to sleep in?
“You and I know that the difference between other patriotic groups and the Constitution Party is that we use the whole Constitution as our platform,
LOL! Do you mean the part where it says that all “MEN” are created equal, not including women and “males” instead of real men, as Grundmann likes to say.
Have to agree with you there; Joshua Fauver’s First Amendment rights certainly got obstructed at the national meeting in Baltimore.
“Except the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.”
Except a lot more than that.
They exclude speech and press they don’t like from the First Amendment’s speech/press clauses.
They completely ignore the constitutional prohibition on federal immigration regulations.
And so on, and so forth.
“we use the whole Constitution as our platform”
Except the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
