Convention
The Constitution Party of New Jersey held a convention meeting on February 2, 2008 in
Woodbridge N.J.. Present at the meeting was Jim Clymer, National Chairman of
the Constitution Party, and Dr. Jerome Corsi, a nationally acclaimed author
and lecturer. Dr. Corsi, the keynote speaker at the meeting, is the
co-author of the New York Times Bestseller Unfit for Command, and the
author of The Late Great USA. Dr. Corsi, a member of the Constitution
Party, spoke about the effects of NAFTA and the coming dangers to American
sovereignty by corporate and political leaders who are working to create a
North American Union (NAU). The NAU refers to a merger of the United
States, Mexico, and Canada.
Constitution
Party National Chairman Jim Clymer spoke about the differences between the
Constitution Party (CP) and the “big box parties." He referred to the fact
that the CP is the third largest political party in the US with
approximately 400,000 registered voters nationwide. He also said “We have
principles in our platform and have people committed to it," unlike many of
the “big box” politicians who don’t even follow through on their own party's
platform or their own promises. Clymer also quoted the French writer Alexis
de Tocqueville, who after visiting America in 1831 said, "Not until I
went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with
righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America
is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good,
America will cease to be great!". Clymer also spoke about the current
economic recession and forecasted that it would be deep and tumultuous. The
forthcoming hardships for our country may serve as a sobering reminder that
the Democrats and Republicans have purposely led the American people astray.

County Coordinators,Now is the time! 10/11/07
Our state is tough. Our voters seem to embrace corruption,
entitlements, and knee-jerk reactions to every idea that comes into
the mind of those who want to take away freedom.
People all over America are beginning to realize that drastic change
is needed.
We must identify NJ voters who also see this need. Because you are
one who sees the need, I am sure you know others who do, also.
We need you, as a County Coordinator, to begin to actively organize
these voters. We need to encourage NJ people to run for local
offices and be able to show local support for them. We need to
bring local support to ballot access petitioning.
Most of all, we need to give people who have given up on the
political process hope! Hope that their voices can be heard! Hope
that their ideas and values matter!
To do this, we need you to find them, county by county.
Cal Wortman and I, and other leaders from the Constitution Party
National Committee stand ready to help you in any way you need. We
can attend and speak at your meetings.
We need to have a nucleus organization established in every county
by the first of the year. We have materials to help with an
organizational meeting. Just ask.
Please let Cal and/or me hear from you as to when you can put
something together. Large numbers are not the initial requirement.
Just getting something going is the first step. Once you have
something happening, others will join.

Coalition Urges
President To “Tear
Down The Wall Of Secrecy” At Quebec
Merger Summit While U.S. Congressman Urges
President To Build
UP The Border Wall.
Lancaster, PA/ August 27, 2007 The recent Quebec
Security and Prosperity Partnership
Summit held at Montebello, Quebec drew attention
to a proposed merger of the U.S., Mexico and
Canada. The event, attended by President George
Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and
Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon drew hundreds
opposed to the plan.
Former Director of the
U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity and current
Chairman of The Conservative Caucus and the
Coalition to Block the North American Union,
Howard Phillips addressed those gathered to
oppose the SPP in Canada. Phillips said,
“President Bush, tear down the wall of secrecy.
Behind closed doors, step-by-step, the leaders
(of the three nations) are setting the stage
for…a North American Community and, ultimately a
North American Union… (which means we would lose
authority) over our economy, our judiciary and
our lawmaking institutions”.
Phillips founded the
Constitution Party
in 1992. The third largest party based on voter
registration (Ballot Access News), the
Constitution Party is the only political party
with a resolution to oppose the SPP/NAU scheme
as a threat to America’s constitutional
government.
President Bush asked
by a Fox News reporter for explicit denial of a
plan to integrate the three countries, demurred
and ridiculed opponents instead. Dr. Jerome
Corsi, author of the New York Times bestseller
"The Late Great U.S.A: The Coming Merger with
Mexico and Canada" commented:
"That’s
exactly the same type of response Europeans got
from their leaders, even as the EU noose was
tightening around the necks of the millions who
wanted nothing to do with a European
super-state".
During the SPP Summit
in Quebec, where Bush was called on to “tear
down the wall of secrecy” surrounding the covert
merger, a United States Congressman was calling
on the president to build a wall to secure our
border with Mexico. While the president was in
Canada denying a plan to integrate North
America, California Congressman Duncan Hunter
delivered a letter to Bush saying, "It is my
understanding that approximately $800 million is
currently available for (fence building).
Despite this funding, only 17.9 of the 854 miles
of fencing called for in the Secure Fence Act
have been completed as of Aug. 10, 2007."
The Constitution Party joins Congressman Hunter
in calling for immediate efforts to complete a
wall at our southern border and joins with those
opposed to the SPP/NAU calling for a tearing
down of the wall of secrecy surrounding any
plans to merge the United States, Mexico and
Canada.
RESPONSIBILITY
by Charley Reese
If
anyone doubts that the republic created by the U.S.
Constitution is dead, he or she only has to watch the
Republican presidential debates. Save for Dr. Ron Paul,
all of the candidates believe a president can take the
country to war on his own, though most concede it might
be a good idea to "consult" attorneys and even Congress.
The
Constitution, written by men more intelligent and better
educated than today's crop of political duds, is quite
clear. The president has no authority to take the
country to war. The sole authority for declaring war
rests 100 percent with Congress.
Naturally, if a shipload of pirates sailed up the
Potomac and began shooting at the tourists, you wouldn't
need a declaration to authorize returning fire. American
troops defending themselves while under attack is not
the issue. The issue is that if a president wants to
take the country to war against another country, he
must, as Franklin Roosevelt did after Pearl Harbor, ask
Congress to make that decision.
The
Founding Fathers, having suffered under a monarch,
deliberately created a weak president. His powers, as
specified by the Constitution, are limited mainly to
administering the laws passed by Congress, making
appointments, negotiating treaties and being the
official greeter when dealing with foreign powers. His
role as commander in chief is limited to just what it
says – the military. The president is not our commander
in chief, as the current president seems to think.
Lest anyone be beguiled by the current politicians'
determination to create an emperor and an empire, even
the president's appointments and treaties have to be
confirmed by the Senate. Congress has sole authority
over taxation and spending. Appropriations for the
military are limited by the Constitution to two years.
Furthermore, Congress is elected independently of the
president and is a separate branch of government. It is
under no obligation whatsoever to do anything the
president asks it to do, and the president has no
authority whatsoever to do anything not authorized by
Congress and the Constitution.
The
Constitution, which apparently not many Americans have
ever bothered to read, is the supreme law of the land.
It does not make suggestions. It commands. It was
written in clear English. It has provisions to amend it,
but it should never be amended by interpretation. That
is always a usurpation of power and should be grounds
for impeachment.
There is only one way for the U.S. to be a real nation
of laws. That way is for the people to demand that every
single public official obey the laws as they are written
and obey them to the letter. The current president seems
to think he can alter laws with "signing statements" and
legislate with executive orders. He should have been
impeached a long time ago.
The
kernel of the nut is this: In our constitutional
republic, sovereignty rests in the people. If the people
are too stupid or ignorant, too lazy or indifferent, to
hold their public officials accountable for violating
the laws and the Constitution, then of course they will
deserve the tyranny they will surely get.
Self-government is tremendously more difficult and
demanding than living under a dictatorship. In a
dictatorship, all you have to do is obey. I fear that
concept appeals to some Americans today. It's
understandable. Responsibility can be a heavy load to
carry. It's much easier to relegate all of that to the
Great Leader and just do what we are told.
Anybody who's ever been in the military or a jail knows
what I'm talking about. When you are deprived of the
ability to make choices, you are simultaneously relieved
of the responsibility for making them. Responsibility is
the other side of the coin of freedom.

Constitution Party Resolution in
Opposition to the North American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway
Adopted by Constitution Party National
Committee - Concord, New Hampshire, December 2, 2006
WHEREAS it is the strong belief of the
Constitution Party National Committee that the United States should
not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) superhighway system or enter into a North American
Union with Mexico and Canada; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Goode, Mr. Paul, Mr.
Jones, and Mr. Tancredo introduced in the United States Congress a
concurrent resolution entitled H.CON.RES.487 which, if passed, would
express the opposition of Congress to the stated NAFTA Superhighway
system, and North American Union. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the Constitution Party
National Committee hereby expresses its strong support for
H.CON.RES.487, said resolution is included with this resolution
verbatim.
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that
the United States should not engage in the construction of a North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter
into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada;
Whereas, according to the Department of
Commerce, United States trade deficits with Mexico and Canada have
significantly widened since the implementation of the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA);
Whereas the economic and physical
security of the United States is impaired by the potential loss of
control of its borders attendant to the full operation of NAFTA;
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System from the west coast of Mexico
through the United States and into Canada has been suggested as part
of a North American Union;
Whereas it would be particularly
difficult for Americans to collect insurance from Mexican companies
which employ Mexican drivers involved in accidents in the United
States, which would increase the insurance rates for American
drivers;
Whereas future unrestricted foreign
trucking into the United States can pose a safety hazard due to
inadequate maintenance and inspection, and can act collaterally as a
conduit for the entry into the United States of illegal drugs,
illegal human smuggling, and terrorist activities; and Whereas a
NAFTA Superhighway System would be funded by foreign consortiums and
controlled by foreign management, which threatens the sovereignty of
the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives (the Senate concurring), That—
(1) the United States should not engage
in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Superhighway System;
(2) the United States should not enter
into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada; and
(3) the President should indicate
strong opposition to these or any other proposals that threaten the
sovereignty of the United States.
JEROME CORSI SPEECH AT CP NATIONAL
COMMITTEE MEETING
Mp3 recording of speech given on December 1st, 2006 at
a Constitution Party National Committee meeting in Concord, NH
How can any party that refuses to
secure our borders to stop the invasion of illegal aliens and that
supports a "guest worker" (amnesty) program; that has supported a
series of trade agreements which have destroyed millions of jobs
in American industry; whose trade policies has given us the worst
trade deficit in U.S. history; and that supports tax benefits
and subsidies for corporations who move their factories out
of the
U.S. and who outsource their labor to foreign nations, ever be
viewed as a party that represents the American worker?
The fact is that both of the "Big Box" Parties, Republican and
Democrat, have been guilty of selling-out the American working
people for many, many years! - Gary Odom
"...there have always been those who wish to
enlarge the powers of the General Government. It has no power to raise a revenue
or impose taxes except for the purposes enumerated in the Constitution....Every
attempt to exercise power beyond these limits should be promptly and firmly
opposed."
Constitution
Party National Chairman Jim Clymer spoke about the differences between the
Constitution Party (CP) and the “big box parties." He referred to the fact
that the CP is the third largest political party in the US with
approximately 400,000 registered voters nationwide. He also said “We have
principles in our platform and have people committed to it," unlike many of

righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America
is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good,
America will cease to be great!". Clymer also spoke about the current
economic recession and forecasted that it would be deep and tumultuous. The
forthcoming hardships for our country may serve as a sobering reminder that
the Democrats and Republicans have purposely led the American people astray.
