John Hostettler
House Committee1995-2007)The former Republican Congressman supported Chuck Baldwin for President in the 2008 election because he believes the "GOP has lost its way on conservative principles." The subject of his address at the Orlando meeting will be "the fate of 'conservatism' in light of the elections of 2006 and 2008." Constitution Party National Chairman, Jim Clymer, said that former Representative Hostettler's participation at the Constitution Party's National Committee meeting is "exciting news," noting that he had "followed John Hostettler's career for years and have greatly admired the principled stands he took while a Representative in Congress. We are happy to welcome former Representative Hostettler to our National Committee meeting and look very much forward to meeting with him and and having him speak to our National Committee and other guests who will be in attendance."
Mr. Hostettler is the author of a new book about the Iraq War entitled Nothing for the Nation: Who Got What Out of Iraq
The following passage from the preface to the book strongly indicates that his actions on this issue, while a member of the House of Representatives, were entirely consistent with the platform of the Constitution Party:
"...it is incumbent upon conservatives to acknowledge that the conflict in Iraq, which began with the invasion of March 2003, was inconsistent with longstanding principles of the foreign policy of our constitutional republic. I contended as much when I voted against the House resolution that granted President Bush the unconstitutional authority to declare war. I was convinced of it when I learned the true motivation of those who were most invested in selling the case for a "preemptive" strike against the regime of Saddam Hussein."

Featured speakers at the meeting will be Chuck Baldwin and Darrell Castle, the Constitution Party's 2008 nominees for President and Vice-President. The Baldwin/Castle ticket, which was also endorsed by Congressman Ron Paul, set a Constitution Party record for total popular vote, despite unusual circumstances which kept it off the ballot in some large states such as California and Pennsylvania. In the 37 states where the Baldwin/Castle ticket did secure ballot access the Constitution Party vote increased dramatically. Also, while write-in votes have not yet been tabulated in all states, results in those states where those totals have been made public such as Texas, Georgia and Connecticut have revealed psignificant popular support for the Constitution Party ticket. This bodes well for future elections when the Constitution Party, of course, expects to be on the ballots in all 50 states.
An additional speaking attraction at the Orlando meeting will be party founder and former Presidential nominee, Howard Phillips. Phillips is currently Chairman of The Conservative Caucus, "America's Constitutional Government Action Organization," which has been a leader in the fight to stop the North American Union and now is spearheading the campaign to stop Obama's "Socialist Revolution."
