Constitution Party Candidate Gains Ballot Access in New Jersey
By Jason A. EdwardsTRENTON - New Jersey voters unhappy with Obama and McCain will have a better choice this November, as Chuck Baldwin – the Constitution Party presidential candidate – has received enough petition signatures to appear on the ballot.
"Alternative parties have a disadvantage compared to the Democrats and Republicans," explained Cal Wortman, the Constitution Party of New Jersey's Ballot Access Coordinator. "You must collect enough signatures to appear on the ballot. We almost missed the deadline because the state put the wrong date on the petition, but we made it in time to get on the ballot."
Chuck Baldwin (www.Baldwin08.com), promised that if elected he would work to protect the lives of the unborn, abolish the IRS and the Federal Reserve, support home schooling, and "eviscerate" vast numbers of unconstitutional federal programs like the Department of Energy ("we have more than enough oil in Alaska") and Social Security ("which is nothing more than socialism"). Baldwin promised to get "the U.S. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S.", to abolish the department of Homeland Security and to end foreign aid.
Chuck Baldwin said his Washington "outsider" status would likely be considered a plus in this election, saying many "dissatisfied Americans have come to view political insiders as carriers of 'big government disease' ". Baldwin vowed to honor his oath to uphold the Constitution. He acknowledged that the Christian principles of our Founding documents guaranteed liberty for people of all creeds, and "pledge(d) to cultivate a climate in D.C. which reins in government and reminds those in power they are bound by limits set in place by our Constitution.
The platform of the national Constitution Party affirms limited, Constitutional government and tax policies and focuses on Right-to-Life, Second Amendment rights, U.S. sovereignty, energy independence, border enforcement, and celebrates the Judeo-Christian foundations of the American political system. The Constitution Party of New Jersey is fielding a local candidate, Peter Boyce (www.BoyceYourChoice.com) for the state's 2nd Congressional District.
