Teacher continues to report: Day 11 & STATEMENT OF MAYOR BENG CLIMACO
The teacher continues to report:
Day
11 of Zamboanga standoff: will this be the end chapter of the crisis? I
found myself again awakened at 3:15 am as i used to be since Zamboanga
siege happened. It was noted that during the past couple of days, since
the uprising started, exchange of gunfire between MNLF and the military
launched every morning. Yet, in this 11th day of standoff, the whole
night was found still and quiet and tranquility swathed the city. PRAISE
GOD FOR THE RESTORATION OF PEACE!
For the latest news, it was
known earlier that government troops have captured a battle-scarred
MNLF stronghold in the City, believed to be the base from where MNLF
commander Habier Malik was holed up. The military took control of KGK
Building along R. Lustre Street, but the shot-up building was empty,
with not even bodies of slain or wounded MNLF fighters found. Government
forces have retaken as much as 80 percent of MNLF-controlled areas in
the city, a PNP spokesman said, as the standoff
there entered its 10th day. A rebel who tried to escape Wednesday
morning was killed in a brief firefight, bringing the total number to
122 rebels killed. Twenty six have been captured and 25 have
surrendered. On the government side, the fatalities remained at nine
while 81 were wounded.
Until now classes in all levels are
still closed, but it was announced that malls and other stores will open
today, flights resume, banks operates and markets will have its normal
activity.
CHRISTIANS, LET US CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE SUCCESSFUL CLEARING OPERATION OF THE MILITARY IN THE CITY!
Prayer Requests:
1. Health of about more than 100,000 evacuees who are now in the evacuation centers.
2. MNLF ground commander Habier Malik will be captured as soon as possible.
3. Shelter of those thousand of families whose houses were burned during the siege.
4. The restoration of some hostages that have not been released
5. Comfort for all the family victims of standoff.
JEREMIAH 30:17 "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the LORD...."
2 Chronicles 7:14 "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal
their land.
This is God's promise! Let's claim it for Zamboanga City! Amen....

STATEMENT OF MAYOR BENG CLIMACO (September 18, 2013)
September 18, 2013 at 7:56am
In the course of all the events that transpired yesterday, our
strength as a people has been tested. On the 10th day of the crisis,
there are a lot of questions that yearn for answers. I would like to be
clarified and the people of Zamboanga City of how the unfolding of these
events and the clamour for justice be reconciled in the midst of a
peaceful resolution to this problem.
Ya sapa di aton susto
anoche cuando ya sabe kita cay el di aton OIC City Police Director Col.
Jose Chiquito M. Malayo y el su maga gente librao ya na peligro.
Gracias a Dios kay na buen condicion ele pero ta continua pa siempre
kita reza para el librado del otro pa maga hostages que ta esta pa
cautivo.
I stand strong that as Mayor of this city, I want
a long-term solution for this problem. I cannot allow the repeat of any
of this nor the repeat of the 2001 Cabatangan experience. Our people
have been wounded, our lives forever changed and our city’s dignity
marred. I stand firm with the President Noy’s pronouncements that
charges shall be filed and justice will be gained for those whose lives
were wasted in this atrocity. Let the perpetrators go to jail and never
be allowed to come back to our city. I appeal to the city officials and I
appeal to national officials present here with us, you have seen the
pains of our people and you have seen the damage this has caused and you
are here thank you for helping us. It is with this hope that you defend
the cause of Justice for Zamboanguenos, because we are counting on
you.
The clearing operations are still ongoing in the
areas of concern. We continue to advise those who are living in Sta.
Catalina, Sta. Barbara, Kasanyangan, Rio Hondo, Talon-Talon, Mampang and
Arena Blanco and other areas of concern not to return to their homes
yet or to seek safer grounds to allow the troops to carry out their
tasks in these areas.
There are more establishments
opening up today, the CAAP has announced the resumption of flights
tomorrow and more economic activities are being done beyond the
conflicted areas. Our city may not right away get back to normalcy, but
we are trying to make steps to begin the work for people to get back to
our toes.
Sec. Enrique Ona came to personally verify the
Health needs of the City and will open more operating facilities in our
City and make our emergency rooms functional in WMSU and the Sanitarium
more responsive to patients. These goes to all other evacuation centers.
A
team of Volunteers and mental health professionals provide debriefing
to our hostages. Social Workers giving Therapy and teachers Counselling
in Evacuation Centers. The DSWD under Sec. Soliman is helping us with
the rehabilitation plans. Her instruction is to build back better, akel
cosa antes sila tiene maga casa ay hace mas bueno pa. Today we began a
program at the MCIC to help informal sector gain daily subsistence
through the parishes and the brgy with the help of Tzu Chi and other
NGOs.
In this connection, we shall continue to heighten
security in the city and thus we shall request for everyone’s
cooperation. We have to learn the lessons of this crisis. Today until
Friday, the suspension of classes still stands for both public and
private schools and the curfew hours from 8PM-5AM remains the same. For
city hall employees, only offices providing frontline services are
required to report. However, for those in the national and regional
government offices outside the critical areas, we call upon your
respective regional directors to set your discretionary judgment to
resume operations in your respective offices. For the private
establishments and companies, we allow your officers’ discretionary
judgment in their call for the resumption of work. Again, we emphasize
that these calls to open is only for those areas outside the critical
areas and thus we give the heads of agencies and owners the discretion
to operate.
Our vigilance continues and I ask the help of our
barangay officials that we should heighten our security measures in our
respective barangays to identify our residents and report those who are
suspicious in our areas. We have received reports on civilians
coordinating with authorities when confronted with suspicious looking
individuals— that is the kind of cooperation we would like to get from
our people.
Con todo maga officiales de Barangay ta pidi
came de ustedes cooperacion recivi con el maga evacuante kay bajo na ley
este di aton responsibilidad. El Declaration de Policia del
Constitution y bajo del Directiva implementa el policia del Ciudad y
function del maga Barangay implementa leyes del Ciudad bajo na Acto
Republica 7160.
I have visited evacuation centers and
talked to some children. I asked them in Tausug, Maita Kamo Yari? Porque
ustedes taqui? Why are you here?
And they answered, “ Pasal aun diungog namo makusug timbak.” Kay tiene kame ya uwi pwerte rebentada. We heard a loud blast.
And
the children continued saying, “Pasal aun mga tau mabaya sila kawaun in
Zamboangan.” Kay tiene mga hente quiere saca con el Zamboanga. Because
there are people who want to get Zamboanga.
So I assured them, “
Para kato in Zamboangan, para kanyu ini, bukun kita idihil parugahing
tau. Magtabang-tabang kitanio.” De aton el Zamboanga, para de ustedes
este, numas quita permiti otro saka con el de aton ciudad. Man ayudahan
kita. Zamboanga is ours. Zamboanga is for our children. We shall not
allow other forces to reign in our city. Let’s help each other.
Let
not devastation creep in our hearts. Zamboanguenos are bigger than
this. We shall fight for JUSTICE. We shall rebuild this city. We shall
come out stronger after all these. I remain inspired that our Nuestra
Senora La Virgen del Pilar looks upon us and that the Almighty Father
will help us rise above this crisis. We remain under one flag, one
Zamboanga. Vaya con Dios!

Day 10
Friends,
I decided to wait another day or two before commented on what is going on, There is a lot to learn here. On Monday there was a bombing in Davao they are not sure if it was related to the MNLF. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/breaking-news/2013/09/17/blasts-hit-davao-city-malls-303669

The
Zamboanga standoff is now on day 10 with no definite indication when it
will end. For the ill fated residents in the strife-stricken areas in
the city, they are still caught in the middle of the continuing running
battles between government forces and the Misuari-led faction of MNLF
rebels. Yet, the clearing operation made by the military signifies that
very soon this Zamboanga seige will end.
Just as more hostages
regained their freedom, we were shocked by a breaking news at around
past 10 am yesterday reporting that armed followers of Nur Misuari
seized no less than the city’s police chief and his two police escorts
in an encounter in Barangay Mampang here on Tuesday morning. Shortly
after 6 p.m., however, Senior Supt. Jose Chiquito Malayo, the Zamboanga
City police chief, was freed under still unexplained circumstances.
Interviewed by the Inquirer, Malayo said he was not sure if he was a
negotiator or a hostage. What he was certain of,
he said, was that the(MNLF group led by Usong Uggong was trapped in a
mangrove area in Mampang who claimed they never took part in the siege
of Zamboangaand wanted to go home to Basilan. But what is important
Malayo is now back bringing 23 MNLF whom he convinced to surrender.
PRESENTLY, THANK GOD FOR THE RELEASE OF 163 ALREADY OF VERIFIED HOSTAGES!
As of today, classes are still off in all levels, government offices
are still closed, air travel is yet paralyzed, malls in downtown are
closed. Selected banks are opened, few outlets of Western Union and
MLhuillier are accessible and some pharmacies started to operate.
PRAYER REQUESTS;
Let us all specifically pray for these:
1. Zamboanga crisis will end
2. Remaining hostages from the hands of MNLF will be released
3. Clearing operation will be successful
4. Health condition of about one hundred thousand evacuees at designated evacuation center
5. The whole Zamboanga city today will be covered by God's amazing power!
COMMENT:
What is happening to Zamboanga right now is a warning and admonition
that Christ is coming soon! Let this be a moment of awakening!
The
Gospel of Matthew contains Jesus’ prophecy to His disciples about the
state of the world just prior to His Second Coming. “And you will hear
of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these
things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom” (Matthew 24:6–7). While
humanity has lived with warfare over the millennia, our time in history
is unprecedented because of the massive annihilative potential of modern
weapons and the massive global scale of potential conflict. L ET US ALL
DRAW NEARER TO GOD, FIX OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM! SURRENDER OURSELVES
INTO THE PRESENCE OF OUR ALMIGHTY!

STATEMENT OF MAYOR BENG CLIMACO
Friends only one update today, a
statement from Mayor Climaco. Tomorrow will give further updates and
my opinion on what was written by the Mayor.
Carey
STATEMENT OF MAYOR BENG CLIMACO (10am 9-14-13)
September 14, 2013 at 3:13am (3:13pm September 13, 2013 Ohio time)
Querido
compoblanos de Zamboanga,
Today,
Sept. 14 is the 6th day since the standoff began Monday dawn. The spate
of events that unfolded and continue to unfold are very heartbreaking
and upsetting.
Todo manera posible para termina este
conflicto na mas temprano tiempo ta hace el govierno local y nacional.
Mismo si Presidente Aquino hunto con su maga miembro del cabinete, si
Sec. Roxas, Sec. Gazmin y Sec. Soliman el taqui ahora na Zamboanga para
personalmente mira el diferente maga concierno del Ciudad.
6
days after the spate of incidents in our beloved Zamboanga
City–innocent lives have been lost, properties have been damaged and our
economy paralyzed. The image of Zamboanga, which we painstakingly tried
to restore, was instantly vanished because of this senseless acts
perpetrated by a group of misguided elements.
These past
days the affected barangays remain barricaded and the entire city is
virtually isolated from the world—our airports and seaports are closed,
classes as well as work in all offices, except for agencies rendering
frontline services remain suspended; forced evacuation is imposed on
residents in the areas of concern; and the number of evacuation centers
and evacuees are continuously mounting.
El di amon
simpatia ta extende contodo maga hostages quien hasta este maga tiempo
talli pa na mano del maga insurectos. Our heart goes out to the hapless
hostages who are in distress fearing for their safety, just as we also
sympathize with the families of those soldiers, policemen and innocent
civilians who perished and who were wounded in the course of the
conflict.
Querido compoblanos, todo kita ta sufri y todo
kita victima de este crisis. Like you, I am in anguish and I am
exasperated. Disgusto, desconsolacion y rabiya el cosa kita ta sinti por
el sufrimiento y destroso que ta costa este sais dias de conflicto.
QUIERE YO QUE TERMINA YA ESTE CRISIS ESTE DIA O NA MAS TEMPRANO TIEMPO.
Right
from the start, we have shown decisive leadership, we have not stopped
listening to your concerns and we have not succumbed to complacency. The
measures we have taken were all in respect to agreements, rules of
engagement, and ultimately TO SAVE AND PROTECT LIVES.
Our
police and military authorities continue to safeguard our territories
and our people through confidence-building measures with calibrated
military actions. We continue to support all their efforts and we thank
them and their families for their selflessness and dedication to their
duties.
Ta rindi kame gracias contodo que ta ayuda alivia
este di aton condicion por medio de donacion de comida, relief goods, y
esfuerzo y tiempo que ta ofrece sila voluntariamente para asisti na di
aton relief operations.
To the business community,
banking institutions and all other sectors concerned, thank you for
helping us in providing essential services despite the very tensed
situation.
In this time of crisis, I call on all our
people to remain united and strong. Our faith as a people is
unshakeable. This is not an issue of religion for we have co-existed
peacefully and worked harmoniously. This is an issue of people with
misguided principles using arms to propel their ideology. This conflict
has shown how galvanized and united we are as a city. Together we can
rise up from this climate of fear and doubt and come out better
Zamboanguenos and a more peaceful Zamboanga that we all hope for.
Con
todo maga oficiales de barangay, ayuda ustedes defende con el di aton
comunidad en coordinacion con el policia y military. Set up early
warning systems para informa si tiene desconosidos personas armao—UNIDO
TODO KITA BAJO NA UN BANDERA FILIPINAS, UN CIUDAD ZAMBOANGA!
MAY GOD SAVE AND PROTECT OUR PEOPLE AND OUR CITY.

This is from a teacher in Zamboanga City:
Day
9 of Zamboanga Stand-off is seen to be almost to finish. We praise God
in all things that He miraculously has manifested to his children, and
indeed still more amazing answers to our prayers will surely come today.
I am so happy that after a couple of
days of praying for the release of mostly my students from ZSCMST, my
heart overflows with joy to see some of their names as listed on the TV
screen among those 34 that was released last night. Just early this
morning, my spirit leaps for joy when the teleradyo confirmed another 64
hostages who managed again to escape from their captors, and plus 5 and
9 which was aired at 7 am. Al of these victims are brought now to Camp
Batalla.
Only few more victims have not been released. I urge all
christians to continue uniting our hearts in prayer. I salute Lt. Col.
Ramon Zagala for the calibrated response to the crisis which prioritize
lives of the hostages rather than properties of damages.
PRAYER: Our most precious and loving Father, you're an awesome God who becomes our shield and comfort in times of calamities and war. We have seen your wondrous works in the Zamboanga crisis, and you have proven how majestic is your Name above all names! That if we, your creatures will humble ourselves and pray, you will not fail us! Today, we claim your tremendous power as we let your presence to be in our vicinity, your holy angels armed with fiery missiles to end up the atrocities of the MNLF today, today! yes today! In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, AMEN!

philippines update sept 15
Will try to add some comments tomorrow especially about what the mayor has to say.
AFP (Arm Forces of the Phil): Killed in action - 3, wounded in action - 46
PNP (Phil National Police) - Killed in action - 3, wounded in action - 10
Civilian - Killed in action - 4, wounded in action - 22
No. of hostages released or processed: 34
No. of arrested MNLF: 56
No. of MNLF killed: 26
Mayor Beng Climaco:
THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM OF
RELIGION BECAUSE WE DEARLY LOVE OUR MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS AND THE LUMADS IN THE
CITY. Our heart bleeds for the Army integree who was killed in the encounter;
my heart bleeds for the mother who mourns the loss of her new-born baby who
died of tetanus for lack of the necessary medical attention; my heart bleeds
for the men who have given their lives and those who continue to risk their
lives just to protect our people and our territory; my heart bleeds for the
countless displaced people like the Sama Dilauts, Yakan whom I frequently visit
who gave me a hand woven mat, which, just like the vinta, is a symbol of unity
in Zamboanga.
Mayor Beng Climaco: Let me reiterate to all of our people. This crisis is not an issue of religion. This had been made clear since the first day when this crisis begun. Let us not speculate and push further this divide as this will not help in solving the current situation of this city. This is an issue of those misguided people whose ideologies had been founded with the use of arms, ultimately to inflict terror to our people.
Carey Masci
Until then here's another update:
Conflicting reports, a councilman of Zamboanga
has reported that Malik the leader of the MNLF uprising, the man who was being
interviewed and made the statement they want their flag over the city hall, has
been killed. Another report said someone
looking like him was killed.
*6
barangays are in the war zone.
Some
stores are reopening.
Most
are still in lockdown with no food.
Some hostages escaped others were freed by the army.
Air strikes are ongoing. AFP (Arm Forces of the Phil): Killed in action - 3, wounded in action - 46
PNP (Phil National Police) - Killed in action - 3, wounded in action - 10
Civilian - Killed in action - 4, wounded in action - 22

*A barangay is the smallest administrative division in
the Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward. In colloquial
usage, the term often refers to an inner city neighbourhood, a suburb
or a suburban neighborhood. Municipalities and cities are composed of
barangays.

More on the Philippines Sept 14th
Friends,
more on the Philippines.
36,000 are now being evacuated. Wide spread damage. The Philippine army is doing what they can but the Muslims have enough human shields that keep the army from doing an all out attack.
The Moro National Liberation Front is behind this. In 2010 when I was in the Philippines I stayed at the resort of Dakkak while they had a gathering there. In 2012 at Astoria a party center, the day before we had it there was a Muslim wedding being peformed and the Philippine army had the place surrounded because they weren't sure if they were up to no good, the day after during our event it was quiet and peaceful.

Gun control, this is a perfect example of why guns should never be illegal to own or carry. In the Philippines it is unlawful to own a gun. Many live in fear because of kidnappers and that fear has recently become even more of a reality. The people there are told to stay indoors because of the Muslim uprisings.. The Muslim radicals are well armed but ordinary citizens aren't. How can they protect or defend themselves?
Those trapped or who are left in the city sleep dressed in case they have to flee. They also have one person stay awake to keep a vigil in case there is an attack. The question arises often in me, how will they defend themselves when they have NO guns but the enemy has?

Muslims advance slowly but steady. I sent an article out back in 2012 calling shame on the Philippines for brokering a deal with the Muslims giving them some land and calling it peace. The Muslims know NO peace. When world leaders make an agreement they celebrate peace and relax thinking the problem is solved. But when Muslims accept a cease in conflict its a time to reassess, rearm and immediately make plans for future advances. When will the world say enough to this Muslim scourge that keeps making them look like fools?
Most of the Filipino people have very little to begin with and now what little they have is being taken away by evil YES evil Muslims. I have made friends with many while over there, Ruth obviously has friends and family. They are some of the nicest people you will ever meet and have great respect for the US. I am deeply disturbed knowing that they are not eating tonight, sleeping in fear and what little they have is either up in flames or they have no access to it. I can't even send them money to help out while they can't work because the banks are closed, stores are closed, no food - nothing, Red Cross is now trying to get food and supplies in. Wake up America. This may be coming to a town near you.
More tomorrow.

prayer request for the Philippines
Friends,
Please pray for the country of the Philippines. Ruth has family there. The Muslims are causing HELL in Zamboanga City. People are in lock down, places are on fire, hostages, it is war. When this will get coverage is a good question. Before we go to Syria this is where we should go as this country is a Christian nation and our ally.

Friends,
Shame on the Philippines and President Aquino III for bowing to the pressure of the Muslims. Muslims know no peace until they completely conquer what they are after and what they are after is global dominance.
Having a Filipina fiancee I know first hand what the Muslims do. My fiancees good friend had to flee Jolo, Sulu which is in the southern part of the Philippines because of the constant gun fire and threat on her and her family's life.
Ruth also told me Basilan also has problems and it is common knowledge that these terrorists are getting help from other Muslim countries.
Wake up America this could be coming to a town near you.

Syria what about the Philippines
So many thoughts about Syria.
1. When W. Bush was talking about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction he was delayed going in. The Dems blocked it. During this delay it was quietly reported the weapons were leaving Iraq and going to Syria. Can we see bigger weapons being used or are the chemicals being used now part of what left Iraq?
2 Afghanistan is not settled, neither is Iraq, Egypt is ablaze, and Syria is falling apart. Is this part of the plan to destabilize that whole region to get things in line for a one world system?
3 My personal feeling is don't get involved, this is a civil war that we don't really know who is to blame or who is the good guy.
4. Our involvement would completely violate the constitution.
5. Confusing conflict with no clear plan. Repubs as well Dems want us to go in and also members from both parties don't. This will only divide America further.
In summary I believe it would be folly to get involved.
Concerning Egypt. The US is giving them billions a year in aid for no reason. I would offer them this, you want our aid you give us the Coptic Christians. After the transfer takes place cut aid. If this fails authorize troops to go to Egypt and rescue the Coptic Christians and bring them here. We need God fearing people regardless of race. 32,000 empty houses in Cuyahoga by last count I have. Even the Detroit area needs a population boost. In Carey's world this makes sense.
Now are you aware of the Philippines? One crisis is the on going friction between China and the Philippines about fishing grounds. China is encroaching on Philippines territory. The Philippines are America's strongest Pacific rim allie. Do we left China bully or crush the Philippines?
Wait thats only one crisis. Are you aware of what is taking place NOW in the Philippines? A Muslim uprising is occuring in the southern section of the Philippines in Zamboanga City. The Muslim kidnappers have enough human shields as they call the kidnapped victims to resist the Philippine army. Word has it, not 100% confirmed but more than likely true that help and funds for the Muslims are coming from the middle east and possibly Russia. America now has planes flying in that region.

Sue thank you for your patience.
I will try to be as brief as possible in responding; at times I tend to write long drawn out replies.
You like so many of us are searching for political answers. By the very nature of you asking is it time to abolish the two party system you have answered your own question, yes. Though abolish is a rather strong word to use.
There are a couple of main schools of thought regarding the question why doesn't the Tea Party or like-minded voters join ranks with the Constitution Party?
First is a third party doesn't work and won't get enough votes. It's been tried.
Lets look at this question. The two parties who control everything will not allow any room to be challenged. The last time that happened was with Ross Perot. Both parties agreed to allow him access to the debates because of his following but they thought it was safe to make them look better and to make Perot look like a joke. After all almost everything Bush Sr. proposed or initiated Clinton put through. They won.
So some of the mindset is third parties are on the fringe and not mainstream enough. The media and both parties have pounded this into our heads and when a serious threat does start to arise they make that person seem extreme or wacko. WE (Christian, Conservative, Tea Party Patriots) need to change this perception.
Another view within the Tea Party's is they want to try and reform the Republican Party. They think if they can get enough votes and change the direction of the party we can take back our country. Wrong - it won’t happen.
Republicans have had some excellent candidates and elected officials. Think of Bachman, Tancredo, Paul to just name a few. But what did they accomplish? Not much. The establishment will not go along with it. This is THEIR party.
Furthermore Conservative, Christian, Tea Party Republicans were thrown bones and we went after them. The establishment runs on a Godly platform and gives terrific speeches and we believe it. They will say anything to get our votes but vote according to their agenda or the globalist plan. We need to stop being fooled they have mocked us enough, its their party can’t say it enough.
So it has been tried to transform the Republican Party from within, to infiltrate it, reform the Republican Party. I tried in vain, I was the darling of the Lake GOP, made many friends and lost them all because I bucked the system and stood firm in my opposition to Mitt. It is more important to win elections than anything else.
Why the Constitution Party? I looked long and hard what were my best options. Sit out, quit, stay registered a Republican, join the Libertarian Party? It’s not in me to quit, I say I am but never do so, that’s just how I am with everything.
I already answered why I left the GOP that leaves us with the Libertarian Party. I have a saying In a free society you have to restrict certain freedoms to ensure freedom continues. The Libertarians are way to lax in regards to drugs and personal responsibility. Hanging out on the streets for many years I can tell you story after tragic story of things I have seen. In short, anyone involved in any deviant behavior is not free and neither is the community that person lives in. Period.
Concerning Scott Rupert, he is a man of conviction, will not be swayed, he is a true independent. Scott is right when he states political parties are not in the Constitution.
I also thought of staying independent but the reason I didn’t I feel to really change things you need to be in a group. A group of people unified has more clout. A party also has a platform to guide and say this is what we are about.
Lastly, think beyond 2014. Do not be fooled and think we are ready to take on the Dems and GOP. Presidential level maybe, local absolutely not. The Constitution Party is still getting pieces in play and until we do getting up and running on all levels I would encourage you support people like Scott Rupert.
Right now the Constitution Party needs like-minded people who have had enough to join ranks with us. Declaring your independence from the two party system is the first step, next step is simply joining and spreading the word.
I hope I answered everything if not please feel free to contact me or Contact State Chairman Don Shrader or Vice Chair Don Sheen.

joining an already existing party instead of forming a new

What a treasure trove I stumbled upon. I was looking for old Nixon ads and found this site The Living Room Candidate.. Whats even better is I found the ad I was looking for from 1968.
It is a Nixon ad that ran only once during Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. It was so controversial it was never played again. Some actually thought it was part of the Laugh In show. The ad shows Humphrey laughing amidst chaos and the Vietnam war. The Humphrey camp as well as Demcoratic backers called it low and disgusting and raised a fuss. It was quickly pulled.
This is the ad: http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1968/convention#4019

Ralph thanks for the reply. I only sent this to a select few not a total email blast. And maybe I shouldn't of even included about the word on the street concerning the person from Bowling Green possibly running as governor because that's all I was told and they weren't even sure of his name. At this stage I would just toss it aside and see what comes of it. Again I would never and didn't blast this out as fact, just to a few that are involved.
From my understanding the biggest beef with Kasich and maybe there are other concerns is the expansion of medicare. I myself for years have been in support of Kasich but lately tired of all Republicans and not sure where I stand. Quite obvious though Fitz would be a disaster.
The Constitution Party has a long road ahead to build this party into a viable alternative party. Husted ahs recognized the Libertarian, Green and the Constitution Party as legitimate parties and need to be recognized as such. There is a growing unease and resentment towards the 2 party systems. People have had enough. A lot of voters would go towards the Libertarian Party but they are not Christian/Conservative or traditional enough for most Americans. The Constitution Party hopes to woo these voters and build from there. IF all people who have stepped away from voting in the last election or the voters who angrily vote for the lesser of two evils join forces we can have an effect and turn this nation around. At least that is my hope.

Carey,
I am even more surprised that there are people out that "act" like they are informed but are really clueless.
First, I believe Charlie Earl is a Libertarian candidate for Governor. Not sure if that is the guy you are speaking about, but Kasich has approximately $4 million for the election already and will be sure to raise more. A person with minimal political knowledge would know $1 million is play money in this race and that, sadly, there is nobody out there that is a viable candidate to beat Kasich in a primary, and any third party candidate in the General Election will surely help tip the scales to FitzGerald.
As for the Constitution Party, I see they made a great showing with Robert Owens for Attorney General in 2010. Will this be indicative of their abilities against Kasich if they have a candidate and/or any other statewide races they compete in?
Thanks for your reporting....

Friends,
Today I was at the Mantua Potato Festival. The Portage County Tea Party had a nice educational walk through display. It was set up for all ages but the hook was the children's display which gets adults to walk through.
The incomplete report is this. I forgot their names. One gentleman's name was Joe that's all I remember. I approached them in a comical way and said Obama says you're dangerous. After the joking I said we at the Constitution Party are trying to woo you to join us. They responded with we are still in discussion about this and have been also approached by the Libertarian Party. Joe joked but they are to conservative for us.
So what I gather is Tom Z and the rest of the Portage Tea Party are still considering whether to join forces or not. I did my best to convince them in a polite way hey we need to unify and get this thing going.
It seems to me that they are in agreement and on the same page as we are concerning the Republican Party - ENOUGH. I believe they are coming around. They took my card and said they will give it to Tom Z on Monday they have a meeting with him.
Side note 1 they said the Libertarian Party has offered someone from Bowling Green a million bucks to run against Kasich but he doesn't seem like a strong enough candidate. That's all the info I got as they weren't even sure of his name.
Side note 2 What is going on here? I was surprised to find that there are still people who say they are informed and involved but are really clueless. At the booth when I mentioned the last straw for me was Mitt the father of mandated health care and same sex marriage as the GOP nominee the one man said WHAT? He did not know. SAD!
Thats all - reporting from Wickliffe with clear skys and cool temps but things can be heating up for the Constitution Party.

carey's politcal humor for Sept. 2013
Everyone keeps asking with all that's going on Carey did you write your congressman? Let me set the record straight - YES I did. I sent them all a pink slip unfortunately they still showed up.
Did anyone hear Obama's speech on Syria? Its getting serious. I'm sure everyone remembers Bush's Shock & Awe. Well Obama has unveiled his plan, the Shuck & Jive.
Teary eyed Boehner then gave his speech on Syria. He was crying so bad they called 911. They weren't sure if Boehner was just getting sentimental or if the Syrian gas hit Congress.
Russian President Putin called Secretary of State John Kerry a liar. In turn Kerry called President Putin Genghis Khan.
I am worried though. If Obama's healthcare is bombing I am sure the same will happen with his plan for Syria.
Now I present to you... Great Quotes from Great Republicans
I am not a crook! President Nixon
New - World - Order. President Bush Sr.
Islam is a religion of peace. President Bush Jr.
"I'll be better than Ted Kennedy" on gay rights. Governor Romney
You’re gonna eat that? Governor Chris Christie
All this talk about gay rights and same sex marriage. Obama has repeatedly said he has their back. I'm sure he has.
Change of thinking
I thought a lot about the illegal aliens in this country and the change from calling them illegals to undocumented immigrants. I agree. I also like to see a name change for thief’s or anyone that steals to unregistered owner.
Odd Fact
I bet you didn't know that the tiny town of Talkeetna, Alaska has a cat as an honorary mayor. A cat as a mayor. And if Hillary wins in 2016 we could have a dog as our president.
