Constitution Party Submits Petition in Hawaii
March 25th, 2008On March 25, the Constitution Party turned in 1,252 signatures for its Hawaii party petition. The requirement is 663 signatures.
The deadline is April 3.
Other parties that are circulating the party petition in Hawaii are the Green Party, and Ralph Nader’s Independent Party. The Libertarian Party does not need to petition this year in Hawaii. After a party has been on the ballot three elections in a row, it is automatically on for the next ten years. The Libertarian Party is enjoying its ten free years.

Not an Amendment, to my knowledge, but there have been bills introduced (at least one by Ron Paul) that would limit the amount of restraint States could put on Congressional candidates, but they never became law.
