Respectfully
submitted in timely advance by
J.R.Myers, CP Montana National Committee Member #1, on 10/13/2018 to
the CP National Secretary for distribution to the CP National
Committee Members, accordingy to CP Bylaws, for consideration and
deliberation at the Fall 2018 CP National Committee Meeting, to be
held 11/16-17 in Dallas, Texas.
Resolution
to Create a
National
Constitution
Party (CP)
Supporting
Partner Affiliation Card
(SPACard)
With
a
Three
Tiered
Dues Structure
With
Incentivized
CP National,
State & Area
Revenue Sharing
Whereas
the National Constitution
Party (CP),
the
many CP State
Affiliates
and
the CP Areas need
additional
sources of revenue to continue
to fulfill their missions and
expand their activities;
Whereas
the CP could benefit from a way of gauging support in places that
don’t have voter registration by Party, or Affiliate State
Membership;
Whereas
the CP
has previously offered supporters and local and state members the
opportunity to contribute their support directly
through
the
payment
of annual membership dues, realizing
that this provides a reliable way for grassroots CP supporters to
directly help fund growth opportunities for CP National, State
Affiliates and Areas;
and
Whereas
the CP has previously recognized
such dues paying members by
offering official
CP membership cards and
now seeks to provide another similar means of affiliation,
recognition and identification for our grassroots supporters,
especially those residing in places without CP Affiliate State
Membership or voter registration by Party;
now,
therefore, be it
Resolved,
that the Constitution
Party
(CP) National Executive Committee:
1.
shall
immediately
appoint
a CP Member to coordinate with the CP National Treasurer,
Secretary and Chairman the
creation

the National CP and the dues paying partners’ Credentialed
CP State Affiliate, after reasonable SPACard
program administrative
expenses of no more than 10% are deducted by the National
CP;
6.
shall ensure diversion
of
50%
of those funds received
from
members who don’t reside within a state with an official
CP State Affiliate into
one
of four
segregated Area
funds set up and maintained by the National Treasurer for use by the
associated four
Area Chairmen
to further CP
organizational
efforts in their
specific regions;
7.
shall accept current SPACards as
proof
of CP
involvement,
especially in states without voter
registration by Party, or an existing organized CP
State Affiliate;
and
8.
shall ensure the prominent display of the following explicit
disclaimer on any and all SPACard promotions and on the
SPACards themselves, stating in a minimum 12 point bold font,
“While
this card serves as official proof of the individual partners CP support, NO
formal National or State CP membership or voting rights
whatsoever are conferred by virtue of this card. Only bona fide
CP Members, according to their applicable official CP State
Affiliate Bylaws, have voting rights and may serve as
officers within the Constitution Party.”

This has been approved for forwarding to the CP National Committee members prior to the Dallas meeting in November, where it will be considered.
This Resolution was NOT approved by the National Committee of the Constitution Party so why is it still posted on this website? If this site were to publish every proposal submitted to each of the Parties' governing bodies it would be so cluttered that it would be a waste of time and worthless. Is that what you want or would you rather report real news that is useful and relevant?
