Ask Michael Peroutka if you don't believe me. They treated him like dirt at the National Committee meeting.

It seems like this would be the perfect time for them to have made the switch Yeah I know that is why the party has different names in different states. but it seems that in the case mentioned here in Nebraska that since the party has to requalify for ballot access anyway they could have made the change over now and changed their name to the Constituion party.

It is not as easy as just changing the name. It is considered forming a new party here in CT. In some states we would lose our ballot access. It is not as easy as just changing the name.

As a federation of Independent State Parties that have joined together in a Unified campaign for a Presidential candidate every 4 years. Some of these Parties have been active and/or ballot qualified for over 30 years. So for those parties to change their name they would lose a great deal of the good will and support that they've built up over the years. Each state party chooses its domestic candidates under its own rules with NO interference from a NATIONAL Party headquarters. Finally, the Party rules allow for each state organization to qualify and maintain its ballot status under its own chosen name. The reason that the Constitution Party is listed
