Today's third party candidate is Charles O. "Chuck" Baldwin. He is running for President in Florida as the Independent, Write-In, Alaskan Independence, Constitution, Constitution Party of Florida, Constitution Party of Illinois, Independent Green, Nebraska, Reform Party USA, U.S. Taxpayers, U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan ticket (too many). Baldwin is basically the Constitution party candidate. He is a Pastor, author and radio talk show host in Florida. His campaign website is here. He has been publicly endorsed by Ron Paul. His public comments indicate that he believes the Wall Street bailout currently before Congress is a mistake. In fact, I quote from his radio website: "The only way to fix this economic mess that the international bankers have created is to return America to sound money principles, as prescribed in the U.S. Constitution. This means dismantling the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service, overturning the 16th Amendment and the personal income tax, and returning the American monetary system to hard assets: gold and silver". His campaign website also clearly states many of his positions. First, he would "abolish the Department of Education", he strongly supports the individual right to bear arms, he wants to end the war in Iraq and bring our troops home, but this isn't limited to Iraq. He wants to bring all our troops home and cease foreign operations by the military while insisting the U.S. not get involved in the affairs of other states but not allow them to be involved in ours. Baldwin is opposed to nationalized health care, he supports strong border security and says he would pardon border agents Ramos and Compean, he wants to impose tariffs on all foreign imports and he wants a strong military that is used to defend the U.S. and would only fight under the U.S. flag. Finally, he says he is a strong supporter of the 4th and 5th amendments rights, he is opposed to North American globalists who support NAFTA and a common North American currency, he would stop all U.S. payments to the United Nations and he supports a very strong anti-abortion (pro-life or sanctity of life) stance. So, he seems to be appealing to Republicans on life, health care and immigration issues, libertarians on foreign policy issues, democrats on trade and rights issues. However, I couldn't find anything that specifically stated his views on domestic issues such as social security, welfare and other govt. funded programs, although based on what I did read, I'd bet he is opposed to those programs, but I'm open for correction if anyone can provide any information to the contrary.
I write on sports, politics or whatever I'm thinking about at the time. My posts indicate what I'm thinking about, not necessarily what I actually think, but I do try to make them accurate and informative.
