Arkansas Constitution Party reaches out to disillusioned unsatisfied voters

Saturday, Jul 19, 2008 @05:45pm CST If your views don't match up with mainstream Republican or Democratic politics, you can always check out the Green Party, Independent candidates, or a lesser-known group called the Constitution Party.

This afternoon we caught up with some Arkansans who are supporting Presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin of Florida, and his Vice Presidential running mate...Darrell Castle ofTennessee

Many of the Constitutionals are former Republicans, and as the party name implies, members adhere to a strict interpretation of the nation's supreme law.

We're told you will see the Baldwin-Castle ticket on the Arkansas ballot.

The Constitution Party hopes to have enough signatures to be on the ballot in 34 states. see Kark 4 News by clicking title above
