So, here is my update after attending Constitution Party County Convention... I learned that in our state, our lovely SoS (Benson-MI), and in other states, the bought-out SoS's are NOT ALLOWING NEW PARTIES ON BALLOTS, without going through an Initiative. So there is an immediate roadblock to a new Patriot Party. JFYI. I am now Secretary of our county chapter, and a Precinct Delegate, and an alternate to State Delegate. I feel this party will grow; we should populate seats now. We are hoping to affect change at the local and regional levels first. We already have the Sheriff on our side and have re-built the County Commission, from lib controlled to conservative. We have the ear of our state reps and our congressional rep. We need to get people away from the Republican Party and to come over to the Constitution Party. I feel a good way to do that is through highway billboards on PRIVATE land. I'm in a rush right now; will post more later.
