It was highly organized featuring guest speakers with interesting
topics, delicious meals, and amazing musical entertainment by the
Sanpete Family Choir and the Curated Arts Center.

EIGHT CANDIDATES VIE FOR
NOMINATION
at the
CONSTITUTION PARTY
CONVENTION
Written by: Joseph G. Buchman, Ph.D
Independent Political Report
(Edited for
brevity)
Seven of the eight candidates, who
qualified to be considered for the Constitution Party's POTUS
nomination, gave a series of 18-minute presentations to the 110
delegates present from 23 states. The eighth candidate, identified as
"Admiral Louis C. Hook", was not present, provided neither a video nor
other campaign materials, and no one spoke on his
behalf.
Presentations, in alphabetical order, were as
follows:
Dr. Daniel Clyde
Cummings
Mr. David Gillie introduced Dr. Cummings
as a man of honor who has spent over 60 years as a student of the US
Constitution. So much so that Dr. Cummings knows that if elected he
would "likely be assassinated." (Dr. Cummings later shared that his
wife shares that concern.)
Dr. Cummings then described the
Democratic Party as an "organized crime" enterprise; and the
Republican Party as a "disorganized crime" one. He then suggested
while it was indeed an honor to be considered as a presidential
nominee, it was in fact rather a "trust" and that while he would take
an oath to the Constitution, his primary oath was one "written in
heaven" and therefore more important than either the Supreme Court of
the United States or of the US Congress.
Dr. Cummings also
promised zero funding for the US Department of Education, other than
the funds required for its "liquidation."
Brandon L.
McIntyre
In what proved to be
the most lighthearted presentation of the day, Mr. McIntyre presented
his "Let's Go Brandon" campaign strategy, further noting that his
middle initial "L" positioned him to be not only the Constitution
Party Presidential Candidate with the best rallying cry (Let's Go
Brandon!) but also as the only BLM candidate (Brandon L.
McIntyre).
While Mr. McIntyre is currently only 34,
he was born 6 May 1989, he will make the age requirement for president
of the United States in a bit over a week. He promised his campaign
"will make it to the White House" where he will then ensure that both
prayer and the US Constitution are returned to our public schools,
private schools, and family homes.
Joel
Skousen
Mr. Skousen began his remarks by
indicating that he is 77 years old and had served as a pilot for the
US Marine Corps. (In answer to a subsequent question, he promised to
fly his personal aircraft to campaign events in support of the
Constitution Party even if he was not the nominee.)
He then
promised to "build the party not on the illusions of victory, but
slowly with the truth", further declaring, "I know conspiracy better
than anyone in the USA" and that, "Vince Foster was killed by the deep
state".
Mr. Skousen closed his remarks to the convention by
declaring, "I know I will not win (the nomination, because) most of
you are locked up for another candidate; but were I to win the
Presidency, I would pardon all of the January 6th
protesters."
He then took questions from the audience regarding
social security and draining the swamp.
Ben
Stewart
Mr. Stewart began his presentation by
declaring - "My slogan is: Love America, Be an American, Be part of
the solution, not part of the problem".
He then proposed
turning the US Mexican border into a "New Panama (like) Canal" where
immigrants could only enter over the drawbridges (when they were
closed), and where for those who did not seek US citizenship (to be
made available at public libraries), the only humanitarian aid would
be available on the other side of the US/Mexican border.
He
recommended all prescription drugs should be Made in America, because
"foreign (made) pills could be poison"
Mr. Stewart then offered a novel solution
to paying down the US debt, saying . . .
"I do not like the
idea of selling off Alaska to pay for the debt." He then proposed
legalizing and taxing cannabis, asking the delegates, "Do you know how
many people would smoke pot saying: 'I'm helping pay down the national
debt'?" Legalizing cannabis he declared would cause people who are
currently broke to become business people who profit from producing
and selling the product.
Regarding students he proposed,
"teaching every American child to hunt, fish, and grow their own
food." Kids today "don't know the difference between XBox and a real
gun."
Randall Terry
Mr. Terry began his presentation with
three television commercials which were projected on a screen at the
front of the room, advocating for abortion prohibition.
Darrel Castle, long-time Constitution
Party member, then introduced Mr. Terry saying that he initially
declined the request for an endorsement but having had a change of
mind regarding the images of the aborted - now wishes he could, "take
those baby carcasses, hang one on every politician in DC, and they
could wear it for the rest of their lives."
"A slaughter is
happening in the Black community: the systematic murder of Black
babies. Democrats and the Congressional Black caucus are pushing
death-by-abortion on Black women and their babies. Our so-called
leaders have sold . . . us . . . out. They have blood on their
hands; blood from the murder of Black babies. We must repent of
voting for those who promote murder."
Following the three video
presentation, Mr. Terry began his remarks with:
"This is not a
face you will see in the White House; I will not get elected.
I do not want a place at a table with
Planned Parenthood; I want to turn that table into firewood!
Regarding abortion: The Democrats are running on it; the
Republicans are running from it; I want to run at it! Run to the
Roar! We will not equivocate.
Samm
Tittle
In a rapid-fire, passionate,
presentation, the following exemplar quotes were made:
"I am
going to be your president. I ran for you in 2012, 2016, and 2020 and
this is it!"
"I want immigration just the way they do it in
China; you don't get to get in for free."
"I've danced with the
only five-star General . . . Omar Bradley.:
"I do not fear a
man who can take my body; I fear a God who can take my
soul."
"I won New Mexico for the Constitution Party in
2020."
"All lives matter, stupid! Jesus rode an
ass."
"I want your vote."
(Note: with 10 minutes
remaining, the floor was opened for questions.)
Comments in the
Q&A included:
"We need to get the land back from the Bureau
of Land Management."
"Let's get children back to work (on their
education) after we get the illegals out with a note in their own
language that says - If you come back, you will be housed in a federal
penitentiary.
"The globalists are right here; China is among
us."
"Lawyers can file class action suits in Utah to reclaim
land from the federal government."
Paul
Venable
Mr. Venable was introduced by Donna
Brandenberg. "We cannot do this with money. We need knowledge,
strategy, and a team.
Mr. Venable shared about an experience in
January of 2003 when he awoke with a clear knowledge that he was to
move to Idaho and work to preserve the US Constitution.
At some point after he was old enough to
discover what was on the other side of midnight, he was up late with
his father, a veteran of World War II, and while they were watching TV
together, eventually it was time for the station to sign off.
The Star-Spangled Banner started,
signalling the end of the broadcast day when a little past
half-way through, his father got up, walked across the room and turned
off the television (we did not have remotes back then).
He
noticed Paul's unspoken but quizzical inquiry. To which he just calmly
responded, "I never want to hear America’s song end".
Paul said
that he could not have conveyed in a thousand words what he had taught
him in that moment.
"I want to thank my parents, they taught me
liberty. Ephesians 6:12 says there will be wickedness in the high
places. I had no idea how deep the deep state is. We are fighting an
enemy that gains power and money from blood - the bloodshed of the
womb, the bloodshed in Ukraine . . . at our border."
"We need a
Constitutional Repentance and Spiritual Revival. The Constitution is
not dead; it is abused, scarred, walked on, and ignored. By who? By
you! By We the People. It is We, the people, who must stand up and
enforce the Constitution."
