Thank you Charles W. Kraut for your insight and wisdom.

I agree with you that the Constitution Party needs to form alliances with organizations like Hillsdale College because we must work together to save the United States.

I told Constitution Party members In 2010 and several times afterwards that the party needed to have their Presidential Nominating Convention in preferably April or at least in September the year before the General Election because many states require the Constitution Party to have their Presidential nominee and possibly their Vice Presidential nominee in order to collect signatures to get on states ballots.

I was told that the Constitution Party did that one time, but didn’t get as much media coverage as they did when they had their Presidential Nominating Convention in April of the election year. 

The Constitution Party can’t control the media coverage, but they have control regarding when to have their Presidential Nominating Convention.

Also the Constitution Party Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees need to start campaigning much earlier than the Republican and Democratic nominees because they don’t have the name recognition, money and grassroots support as them.

Former President Donald J. Trump announced on November 15, 2022, his candidacy for the 2024 Presidential Election 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on April 2023, his candidacy for the 2024 Presidential Election 

 These candidates and others will be on enough states ballots to possibly win the Presidential election. 

The Constitution Party as of today April 24, 2024, are only on 12 states ballots according to their website.

Voters and the media don’t take the Constitution Party seriously because the party lacks ballot access which means fewer votes.

Good afternoon.

I appreciate the expressed interest of several of my friends in the Constitution Party who have invited and encouraged me to attend the upcoming CP National Convention. I have attached my response, and hope you will take offense at what I have to say.

I am grateful for the opportunity to associate with you over a long period of time, and wish you and the Constitution Party well in all your future endeavors.
