Joshua Fauver is the Southeast Regional Coordinator for Robby Wells’ 2016 independent presidential campaign as well as the volunteer coordinator for Free & Equal. He is also the vice-chairman of the Clarion Call to Unite Committee (CCTUC), an organization dedicated to uniting all right-wing and constitutionalist third parties under one banner. The CCTUC has been well-chronicled on IPR, one needs only to search for it in the search box to learn more.
Fauver, a student at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, interned for the Youth for Ron Paul campaign up until the April 2012 Republican caucuses in his state. Afterwards, he joined the Constitution Party and became actively involved in it, attending several national committee meetings. Fauver announced on March 24th, 2013 that he would run for the Louisiana House of Representatives for the 21st district as the CP candidate. However, after much deliberation he announced on May 1st that he was joining the Republican Party and seeking its nomination for the district.
Today, Fauver announced that he is altogether ending his campaign for state representative. From his Facebook page:
I would like to first of all thank you all for your truly overwhelming support for my bid for State Representative from district 21. It is with a tinge of regret that I make this announcement today; I will be, as of today, suspending my campaign for State Representative. After talking with several advisers and mentors we have concluded that with Incumbent Andy Anders having a fairly conservative record and being term limited after 2015 it would be a more productive use of our time, our energy, and our resources to help see other liberty minded Republican candidates win their races against very liberal democrats. I would again like to thank each and everyone of you for your support. I will not be fading away, you will all see and hear from me again as I will be jumping into the fight to get solid candidates like Rob Maness and Parker Ward elected into offices held by liberal democrats and I hope that you will all work hard to do the same.

Are they out of the closet?
I have shoes just like that
“I need to drink less”
Admitting the problem is always the first step 🙂
Yeppers.
I just feel this overwhelming need to compensate for what my fellow Constitution Party members shun – heck, Wisconsin alone keeps me loaded …
Yes. No more than a liter of vodka a day, as we say in the Russian AA!
I need to drink less
That’s a pretty rough realization to come to 🙂
wait, one of my ex-wives was a guy?
c’mon, no way!
@7 That is disturbing on many levels…
Nice PR work Peter; you’re only justifying why I left the CP even more.
Also in Illinois.
I thought that was only in Wisconsin. 😉
In the Constitution Party? Absolutely!
Is that a problem? 🙂
It’s actually a guy, believe it or not.
LOL
hey I think this is one of my ex-wives

awwww guys, leave me alone
Perhaps just a smidgeon.
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? 🙂
You gotta give the kid credit for PR (maybe he has a good agent): he got hold of the title Chair of Young Constitutionalists for the nat’l CP with fanfare, resigned with lots of fuss, declared for public office with aplomb, quit the CP in a snit, announced, with some flash, he’d run as a GOP candidate, quit despite “truly overwhelming support,” all the while maintaining his heavy responsibilities with CCTUC … AND coordinating the powerful grass effort to elect Robby Wells President.
Whew … I think that’s all been accomplished in just six months time.
I’m eagerly awaiting more developments – which I’m sure will be posted here in the traditional non-partisan manner like the news story above.
So, the news is that someone running as a Republican decides to stop his campaig? I’m sure there are many Democrats who run for officec and claim that in their heart of hearts they are actually Greens. Or are at the very least “progressives”, even if they are not independent of the two party system. I understand that he is a deputy leader in a third party organizing effort, but he was a FRepublican candidate.
