Statewide Meeting on March 31st

We held a statewide meeting on Saturday, March 31st, near Richmond. In addition to learning more about the party, planning for this year (always an election year in Virginia), and getting to meet others fed up with the two-party monopoly, the founder of the Constitution Party and Chairman of the CPV, Howard Phillips, spoke.

November Election

Unfortunately, CPV was not able to recruit any candidates to run in this year's election. And there are no candidates for Federal Office which we can endorse, based on their positions. Does that mean you should bother voting? NO! The Virginia Marriage Amendment is important, please support it! Don't vote for the Democrat or Republican unless they have really earned your vote – most have not and should not be supported just because they are not as bad as the other person. Check out any candidates from other parties; the Independent Greens are running candidates in most races. Or write-in a candidate!

Make sure the political elites know you were at the polls, voting, but not for them. You can count on the fact that their analysts will be tracking how many people vote for the Marriage Amendment but don't vote for one of the Republicrat candidates.

Northern VA Meeting

On Oct. 7th we held a meeting in Manassas to discuss party building. We're going to continue to meet quarterly. We need people in other areas of the Commonwealth to be points of contact for their area and start a meeting. Getting to know each other, sharing ideas, recruiting candidates, finding local issues to get behind or oppose... all of those are great ways to get people involved. If there is no activity, people will assume the CPV is dead in your area. If you plan a meeting, let us know by email and we will send an announcement to all the people who have registered online from your area.

Marriage Amendment on Ballot This Fall

Tim Duskin has written a commentary on the Virginia Marriage Amendment Campaign. The Amendment to the Virginia Constitution will be voted on this Fall, and CPV encourages everyone to get involved in passing it. Read the article here.

CPV had a candidate in the race for Delegate in District 76. Running against a Republican, Jim Scheideman received 21.59 % of the vote (4,961 to 17,960 votes).

Statewide Meeting

On August 6th we held a statewide meeting in Centreville to discuss current activities, particularly the District 76 Delegate race.

The Schiavo Murder

Expect to hear from the "pro-life" political groups that the Bush brothers "did all they could" to help Terri Schiavo, as they justify voting for Republicans who tolerate millions of murders year after year. Read Scott Whiteman's analysis of what the President and Governor were required to do, but didn't.

Talking Points About The Bush Record

It's frustrating when Conservatives and Christians repeat the same worn-out myths about why we must vote for Bush... how he will appoint better judges than Kerry.... When you look at the record, you realize that a Bush win would not be better than a Kerry win. In fact, thanks to men like Bush, we've lost so many major battles in the culture war. Read a list of quick bullets about the Bush record. Here's another great article by Chuck Baldwin that summarizes how there is no real difference between Kerry and Bush.

Ballot Access

We made it! Peroutka/Baldwin will be third on the Virginia ballot.We turned in over 21,000 signatures to the State Board of Elections on Aug. 20. The requirement was 10,000 signatures of registered voters. Proving how difficult this feat is, Ralph Nader was rejected for a line on the ballot because even though he turned in more than enough signatures, not enough were valid.
