Press Release
IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 18, 2010
The Constitution Party of Maryland completed its formal nomination process on Saturday at its July business meeting. The State Central Committee voted unanimously to nominate all ten candidates for public office who sought the party’s nod to the General Election ballot in November.
The party has maintained ballot access since the 2008 presidential bid by party nominee Chuck Baldwin. The Party prides itself as a ‘party of principles.’ This year’s candidates are being lead by candidate for Governor, Eric D. Knowles. Knowles is answering the call for strong responsible state leadership which has been lacking in both of the presumed leaders in the two-party monopoly. Knowles said, “I had hoped that a hero would come along and save us all from the confusing and oppressive paradigm that has slowly crept up around us and is strangling out the last traces of our liberty. I have to be that hero - for myself, for my daughter and for all those who have lost their voice in a sea of apathy and despair.”
Party Chairman and candidate for the House of Delegates in Legislative District 34B, Michael Dawson, recalled the growth of the party and expressed his delight in seeing the field of candidates. Dawson asserts, “We are poised to take advantage of the discontent in both major parties. Theses candidates have declared their willingness to stand in the gap – to intercede on behalf of Marylanders against an over-reaching, over-arching Federal tyranny and a weak-willed State government.”
Michael Reed, who is challenging Roscoe Bartlett in the 6th Congressional District, anticipates taking his place on the House floor to rise in protest of much of what occurs in Congress. “I love to write, and I would love to draw up impeachment papers on anyone who does not protect and defend our Constitution.”
State Secretary Mike Hargadon reiterated the seven principles of the Party: Life, Liberty, Family, Property, the Constitution, State’s Rights and American Sovereignty. Hargadon, who received nearly 50,000 votes in his 2008 bid for the 7th Congressional District challenging incumbent Elijah Cummings, was successfully nominated as Lieutenant Governor. Hargadon stressed the need for a strong state leader. Expressing great disappointment, he recalled the political support former Gov. Bob Ehrlich gave to 2008 GOP presidential nominee John ‘pro-amnesty, pro-too big to fail’ McCain, at a campaign stop here in Maryland. It is just this misguided party loyalty that has plagued conservative politics in Maryland. He concluded, “If you are looking for a strong state constitutional leader, look to Knowles!”
