Constitution Party Florida Chairman Bernie DeCastro regarding Sheriff Richard Mack and the importance of attending the upcoming Ocala Meetings
Constitutional Sheriff Richard Mack comes to Ocala, October 17th, 2011
Sheriff Richard Mack
Richard Mack, former Sheriff of Graham County Arizona gained national acclaim in 1994 when he filed suit against the Clinton Administration challenging the Constitutionality of the Brady bill. On June 24th, 1997, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Brady Bill was in fact unconstitutional and that the Federal Government could not commandeer state or county officers for federal bidding.
Sheriff Mack has made it his life mission to now educate law enforcement officers as well as American citizens the meaning of being a Constitutional Law Enforcement Officer. He now heads up the national office of Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Associations (CSPOA).
The Constitution Party of Florida and I will be bringing Sheriff Mack to Florida in October, 2011. In 2012 all 67 Florida County Sheriffs are up for re-election. It is critical that the voters of Florida get educated on the importance of electing true Constitutional Sheriffs before the 2012 elections. In the face of continual encroachment of federal tyranny, the county Sheriffs truly are “America’s Last Hope!”

Texas vs. TSA, God Bless Texas
According to experts, 99% of Americans do not fit profiling criteria for a terrorist.
Why then is the TSA treating us like one?
TSA LIES ABOUT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION

The TSA responded to a Texas bill interposing on behalf of its citizens to protect them from overreaching airport screening searches by fabricating a constitutional principle, according to conservatives and security analysts.
The Texas House of Representatives unanimously passed HB1937 138-0 on Friday evening. Introduced in March by Rep. David Simpson (R-Longwood), the legislation would make it a state offense for any public servant to touch a person’s private areas, or touch them in a way a reasonable person would consider offensive, as a condition of travel or entering a public building.
“Groping innocent citizens does little to enhance security, but it does much to reduce our freedom and dignity,” Simpson said. “Freedom brings people together. This is not about Republicans or Democrats, but about the dignity of every man, women, boy or girl, and their freedom to travel without being treated as a criminal suspect.”
The legislation now moves on to the Texas Senate where Sen. Dan Patrick (R-Houston) will sponsor the bill.
The TSA responded in a statement on its blog, insisting it has the right to perform Fourth Amendment violating searches based on the supremacy clause in the Constitution.
“What’s our take on the Texas House of Representatives voting to ban the current TSA pat-down? Well, the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article. VI. Clause 2) prevents states from regulating the federal government.”
But Tenth Amendment Center executive director Michael Boldin called the TSA statement an intentional deception.
“The problem here? The statement is false. TSA ignorance is unlikely, so I’ll call a spade a spade. They’re lying,” he said. “Notice there’s not one single word in the actual text that says anything about states regulating the federal government, as the TSA claims. They’re just making things up as they go,” Bolden said.
In fact, the supremacy clause reads:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States shall be the supreme Law of the Land.
“Do federal laws passed and enforced in accordance with the powers granted in the Constitution supersede state laws? Absolutely. But to make that point and then insist that the federal government can enforce any old law it sees fit in any way it wants to, even laws that violate the Bill of Rights – that’s patently ridiculous,” TAC communications director Mike Maharrey said.
“By definition, an unconstitutional act is illegal. How can anybody assert an illegal act is superior to a valid state law?” he asked rhetorically.
Simpson said the legislation was not meant to pick a fight with the federal government, but simply intended to stop the TSA from bullying Texas citizens. Legislators carefully crafted the language of the bill, and Simpson said he does not think it contravenes any federal legislation, pointing out that the Supreme Court ruled the Fourth Amendment a minimum standard, allowing states to further protect their citizens under the Tenth Amendment.
“They can talk about the supremacy clause all they want, but even bureaucrats are subject to the U.S. Constitution, the Fourth Amendment, and state laws prohibiting sexual assault, harassment et cetera. We cannot stand by and allow anyone to disregard our constitutional rights and violate our citizens,” Simpson said.

Over half of all Americans want a 3rd Party
After the GOP gave members John McCain in 2008, over half of all Republicans, 52% , want a 3rd Party and candidates that will more closely align to their true conservative values.
The Gallup poll released Monday, also found that 33
percent of Democrats want a third party. Gallup said it’s the first time its
polls have found a significantly larger number of Republicans than Democrats
favoring a third party.
The poll found that 52 percent of all Americans
want a third party, down slightly from 58 percent in August.
Gallup said the increasing desire among Republicans for a third party could be an outgrowth of the rise of the tea party movement. The poll found 60 percent of Americans who identify themselves as tea party members want a new party.
Given that a majority of Americans see a need for a third party, and their level of
satisfaction with the way things are going in the country is fairly low, it
would not be surprising if a third-party candidate emerged as a factor in the
2012 presidential race, Gallup’s Jeffrey M. Jones wrote.
The Constitution Party
Uniting All Americans, not just one side, based on Historical Truth

Black Chamber of Commerce President Regrets Voting for “Marxist Obama”.
This guy must be a racist saying what he does about Obama right?
He ought to be ashamed. I bet he’s a white Republican. Oh wait a minute…he’s black. I guess he can’t be racist.
Listen carefully to this one time “Obama supporter” who voted for Obama, the reason why he voted for Obama and how he will now regret that vote the rest of his life.

Congressman Allen West Townhall – Please Return to Old Format.
Dear Congressman Allen West,
I attended your townhall meeting tonight at Calvary Chapel Church in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I left extremely disappointed. Before I (and you) continue, please think about what is the purpose of a Congressman’s Townhall. Please take a minute to define it for yourself. Maybe even write it down to see if it matches my definition below.
I have been to several of your Townhall meetings and I wanted to point out to you tonight, before I asked my important question, that I have noticed more and more of your townhall is consisting of you speaking describing your month in Washington since the last townhall and less and less of the chance for Americans to voice themselves to you. The last townhall at Coral Springs High School I was in line for 30 mnutes but didn’t get a chance to ask my question. Tonight you spoke from 7pm to 7:50pm about what you did in the last month – which is fine. My country is important to me, that is why I took the time out of my evening to be there tonight, and I appreciate the information. But its also important to me to be able to voice myself to you so you can truly represent me.
Personally, when I think of a Townhall, I think of an opportunity for Americans and constituents to voice themselves to their Representative.
Voice themselves in a variety of ways that only they are able to do. Tell you that they are disappointed that you voted a certain way or ask why you voted that way while providing information you may not be aware of. Or maybe tell you that they are happy you voted a certain way and commend you for doing a good job. Maybe someone wants to ask you to vote a certain way on a Bill in the future while giving you supporting facts why you should. Someone might want to ask you a question about a certain issue. Some might want to elaborate on an issue and provide you facts that contradict your belief on the issue. Regardless, the reason for a Townhall is for you to come back to your Constituents and listen to them. As a Congressman, you represent your direct district constitutents and all Americans. Personally, if I were a Congressman, I would allow my constituents a minimum of 2 hours to ask questions and make comments.
I know you are new to Congress, so you may not be aware that most of us see and hear you quite a bit in the media. I personally have watched you interviewed on numerous tv shows, heard several radio shows and have read numerous articles about you and your positions since last month’s Townhall. I have a full page article about you in the local paper last week. What I am trying to say, is that I see and hear you talking alot more than you may realize. I, like others, want a chance to voice ourselves and finally give you some information and input.
Tonight you changed the format from allowing people in the audience to walk up to the microphone and be able to ask questions themselves to making each person write down their name, address and information on a card and then writing down their one or two sentence question or comment (about what there was space for). Of course others, at your direction, cherry picked through the questions/comments and then stood at the microphone and asked our questions for us. Now your ardent supporters will have no problem with this type of control but I ask them to consider if Congressman Democrat was in office and did this, would you feel the same? We know that answer.
Lets look at the facts.
Fact – you spoke for 50 minutes from 7pm until 7:50pm.
Fact – from 7:50pm to 8:30pm about 15 questions were asked by others with each question lasting approximately 20 seconds for each
question (probably more like 15 seconds on average for each question but lets say
20 seconds per question to be ultra conservative).
Fact- the rest of the time from 7:50pm to 8:30pm was you speaking some more and answering these cherry picked questions from others.
In conclusion, if you add up 15 questions at 20 seconds per question (conservatively) - it equates to 5 Minutes of input from your Constituents and 1 Hour and 25 Minutes of you talking. Again, we hear you all month in the media. We would like a chance to provide some input to you . How can you represent us if you don’t ”listen to us”? Will you allow that in the future? If not, the only ones left in your “Townhalls” will be ardent Allen West supporters that just come to hear you speak some more. Is that really what you want – a glorified pep rally with no critical thinking?
If you insist on this format in the future, please just call it
“Congressman Allen West Speaks 94% of the Time Townhall”.
This is why several upset people yelled their questions to you from the audience. They were asked to leave the premises. These constituents, whether pro Allen West or not, took time out of their busy day to be there and ask you sincere questions important to them. Congressman West, you took that chance away from them, cut off their voice and alienated anyone that wanted to provide genuine input. But then I heard one man ask why he had to leave and the police officer told him it was “private property”. Maybe its not such a good idea to have public meetings pertaining to our government on private property ?
Please return to the format that allows genuine input from your constituents and all Americans and once again make your townhalls townhalls. You mentioned not wanting to get too many of the same subject questions, so limit it to two or three questions per subject. Everyone can be prepared with two questions/comments if they like. The last two of your townhalls I was at had no distruptions when people were able to walk up to the microphone and at least be able to express themselves. The only semi-distruption I would say was if any question was not completely 100% pro Allen West, your ardent supporters yell and jeer at the questioner. In my opinion this is wrong. I would highly suggest that you ask this behavior to stop. This is America, and last I checked, desenting viewpoints are still permitted. You should welcome the opportunity to address them as it gives you a chance to win them to your point of view.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Mark Pilling

Williamson County, Tennessee just fired a teacher for a song he wrote and sang. Brian Glover, a teacher and football coach wrote the anti-Obama song and then emailed a link to the song using his personal email while on his personal off school time.

* Great Analysis of the Nation *
Below, Constitution Party 2008 Presidential Candidate Chuck Baldwin tells it the way it is.
I was a Ron Paul supporter in 2007 and 2008. When Ron Paul did not get the Republican nomination, he endorsed Constitution Party Chairman Chuck Baldwin. Paul stated that “endorsing McCain would be like endorsing most everything he is against”. I was a 25 year Republican. I got tired of the GOP goals of lessening the size of government, lowering the Federal Debt, lowering taxes, defending the Constitution, protecting the borders, my liberties and freedoms never being realized.
Thus I found the Constitution Party.
