What should we do now that the elections are approaching? How should we act? What should we know? What should we ask? What are we looking for? And finally, knowing what we know (and don’t know), how should we then vote?

Is a political rebirth for former U.S. Rep. Paul Broun underway, this time as a third-party candidate? Maybe, from what we can tell.

Weeks after his Republican primary loss in the Ninth Congressional District, the tea party darling has resurfaced, this time as the vice presidential nominee for the Constitution Party of Georgia.

Word’s getting out now that the party made the surprise decision at its state convention in McDonough on June 10, choosing to dither from Utah university administrator Scott Bradley, who was selected as the VP pick at the national party’s convention in April.

The group highlighted Broun’s Capitol Hill track record on taxes, the debt ceiling and abortion in its announcement.

Summertime is here!  Children are out of school.  Memorial Day gave us opportunity to remember those who gave their last measure of devotion to our nation.  And frustrations with the Republican-Democrat duopoly continue to heat up.  Hard questions are being asked about whether the duopoly actually represents what they tell the voters.  Devoted partisan activists are faced with their political party’s rejection of values they hold dear.  Now is the time for a separate, unique, and distinct political party, and as ballot access petition signer remarked this is the year the Constitution Party can build it from the grassroots up!  

In this month’s Update we highlight the upcoming 2016 State Convention on Friday evening, June 10^th in McDonough, and the status of ballot access efforts in Georgia from Ballot Access Coordinator Carolyn Cosby.  This month's articles address topics of Georgia electoral politics, discuss the criteria for voting, training your politician (instead of the other way around), and the proper role of the courts in applying the law.  These are also available on the state party website, and speak to a number of current discussions surrounding politics.

Howard Phillips' political philosophy promoted the basic principles of Christian civil government.  This cannot be achieved by duopoly reform groups like the Democratic Pro-Life Caucus, the various TEA Party groups, or the Republican Assembly, but rather by the Constitution Party of Georgia (CP-Ga) working to  build a multifaceted network of like-minded supporters and organizations to achieve specific political ends with a multi-generational vision to build. True spiritual revival in our communities provides the soil in which the CP-Ga can thrive.  The party’s expansion will be paced with the growth of a constituency that will vote for representatives who have the courage to implement the party's principles.  

Currently all of the party’s elected officials around the country are serving in local offices.  Here's the long game:  our presidential campaign attracts voters, building our base of support.  This positions us to win battles over the next four years in our communities! 

With a vision of victory,

Ricardo Davis
State Chairman
