This has been a tumultuous month for Republican Party politics.  Daniel Horowitz commented, “the GOP-led House passed a budget bill and debt ceiling increase that countermands every principle they campaigned on when pursuing majority control of that chamber in 2010.  The policy and political outcomes of this vote will be far reaching and gravely consequential.”  The subsequent vote by the Senate and election of Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House are the latest victories of the ruling American duopoly.  And with this action the hemorrhaging of the GOP, which has been growing in the grassroots since G.W. Bush’s administration, has now publicly moved into the national leadership of the GOP itself.

Fall has arrived, and activity has picked up significantly since our September update. The Constitution Party of Georgia (CP-Ga) is committed to recruiting, training, and supporting fellow citizens who share our principles to participate in all aspects of civil governance – from voters to elected officials, and everything in between. The CP-Ga is focused on building strong local party organizations; this Update provides a glimpse into our progress. You can also like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to get updates. We covet your prayers as we work to build an explicitly Christian political movement here in Georgia. 

In This Update

Friends,

It has been an exciting summer for the Constitution Party here in Georgia!  Interest is growing and the Lord is opening doors of opportunity.  Your State Leadership Team is working to take advantage of the current climate of political dissatisfaction and disgust and present a vision of victory by building a better political movement!  In today’s email I’ll share some party highlights and opportunities for you to get involved.  Party Founder Howard Phillips often remarked that this party is not a discussion club or a debate society but a political action movement; so let’s get started taking back America one community at a time!

Dr. J. David Gillespie, a former professor and vice president of academic affairs at Presbyterian College, teaches political parties and third-party politics at the College of Charleston. He authored two books on third parties, more recently Challengers to Duopoly: Why Third Parties Matter in American Two-Party Politics. Though Gillespie's article focuses on ballot access inequity in South Carolina, this systemic problem is just as pervasive in Georgia.

Choice lies right at the heart of democracy. Democracy empowers citizens to enter a free marketplace of ideas and choose from an array of candidates, parties, issue positions, policy alternatives and proposals for reform. It warms many Americans’ hearts to think that democracy is among this nation’s precious exports, its gift to the world.

The CP-Ga platform's first subject after the preamble is the sanctity of life. The Party's supporters and members understand that this God-given unalienable right along with the right to defend innocent life in the Second Amendment are the foundation of our citizens' rights and responsibilities.

Georgia Right to Life has held high the standard regarding our public official's duty to protect the sanctity of all human life. The article below by GRTL president Dan Becker so reflects the Party's approach to restore justice that it is worthy of reproduction here and sharing with your friends.

Would you vote for a law where a 20 week fetus is given an anesthetic and then “humanely” aborted? The Montana legislature passed such a bill and is waiting on the governor's signature. This bill is “unjust” and displeases the Lord who will hold accountable a nation who despises His ways.
