Mississippi Constitution Party Newsletter

A fun few endorsements and recommendations:

The majority of Americans are now dissatisfied with both the Democrat & Republican Parites. President Bush & the Democrats in Congress both "enjoy" an approval rating that hovers in th 20-30% range. Here in Mississippi there is growing frusration with the way both big parties have ignored their oaths of office & their constiuents' wishes on issues like immigration.
In response, this year, Mississippi will have more "Third Party Candidates" running for the state legislature than at anytime since the 1920's. The largest contributing factor to this is the fine crop of outsider, citizen-statesmen below.

Non- CP Candidates worth supporting
While we cannot fully endorse any candidate that has not committed to our platform & principles, the followning is a list of candidates who are in enough agreement with our platform to gain our endorsement or partial endorsement in their respective primaries and/ or the General Election. Some of these are in statewide races. Others, if you are not in their district, please consider giving them support as you can.

Endorsements:
(These are folks who we have found to be of good character, who have stood on principle, and who are in substantial agreement with our platform)
In the Republican Primary, please vote for :
Phil Bryant- Lt Governor
Chris Brown - State Representative, District 20
Phillip Gunn - State Representaive, District 56
John L. Moore - State Representative, District 60
John Thomas Cripps - State Representative, District 93
* John was the Constitution Party Candidate for Governor in 2003

Partial Endorsements :
( These are folks we generally agree with, but are not ready to give our full endorsements)
Mike Lott- Secretary of State
* Mike Lott has been a champion on immigration and a number of other conservative issues; the only hold back on giving him our full endorsement is that we are waiting on an explanation from his office on his vote in favor of SB 2718 -- a horrendous "Civil Rights Education" package
Max Phillips - Commissioner of Agriculture
* If you vote in the Republican Primary, we reccommend a vote for Max Phillips over Lester Spell. However, in the General Election we obviously recomend our own Les Riley .

Non-Endorsements:
We recommend writing in or sitting out entirely other statewide races because most of the candidates have shown themselves to be committed to the Messianic Statism.
If you know of a good candidate in another race that you would like to recommend to us, please feel free to e-mail lesriley@bellsouth.net
