On Wednesday night’s “The Andrea Shea King Show”, I interviewed Dr. Jerry Corsi, staff writer for World Net Daily, about Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani’s strong ties to two foreign investment consortia working to own or lease U.S. toll roads, including the Trans-Texas Corridor 35, which is identified as part of the “NAFTA Superhighway”. And that’s all part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, a move to consolidate Mexico and Canada with the USA into a North American Union, similar to the European Union.
Today, we’ve learned that Dr. Corsi has been asked to consider a run for the Presidency.
The National Veterans Coalition of the Constitution Party is preparing to draft Jerome R. Corsi as its choice for the party’s presidential nominee in 2008. Corsi, who resigned as a WND staff reporter Monday, said he has joined the Constitution Party and is willing to explore a serious pursuit of the nomination.
“The issues that concern me the most are the need to secure our borders and the increasing pace with which North American economic and political integration are taking place under the Security and Prosperity Partnership,” Corsi told WND. Corsi’s endorsement was presented during a recent Constitution Party National Committee meeting in Boise, Idaho. Based on voter registration, the Constitution Party is the third largest political party in the U.S.
The plan is to call on the 26.2 million veterans on the official roles and another 5 to 8 million unregistered vets to mobilize behind Corsi.
The National Veterans Coalition was formed as a policy arm of the party to address national issues of concern to veterans. Constitution Party chairman Jim Clymer said he must maintain neutrality about candidates, but added, “I think a lot of Jerry Corsi, and I wish him well.”
“I know he’s indicated an interest in running, and I want to give him every opportunity,” Clymer said. “We’ll open the door for him, but there may be others.”
The chairman of the National Veterans Coalition, retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Charles Jones, said his group decided to draft Corsi because he’s “probably one of the few people that was really aware of the grave issues facing this country” who “can turn the country around and keep it from going over a cliff.”
“He’s not only aware of the problems, but he has solutions to them,” Jones said. “We feel from a veterans’ standpoint it’s going to take someone with his intelligence, knowledge and intestinal fortitude.”
Third party candidates have traditionally never had a good showing. In fact, the last Constitution Party candidate garnered only 0.1 percent of the vote in the 2004 presidential election.
Given today’s Senate action regarding the Amnesty bill for illegals leaving Americans feeling we’ve been sold out, public sentiment might be ripe for a third party candidate success. Read more about Corsi here.
