Restoring America’s First Dream
The Constitution Party of Wyoming is a state political committee affiliated with the Constitution Party.
We believe America’s first dream was the promise that every person is endowed by God with inherent rights and that government exists to secure those rights—not to create them. That promise, expressed in the Declaration of Independence and given constitutional form through the Constitution of the United States, established a vision of self-government rooted in liberty, responsibility, limited government, and the rule of law.
Our mission is to restore that first American dream by defending the God-given rights articulated in the Declaration of Independence and advocating for a faithful, plain reading of the United States Constitution. We seek to preserve the constitutional republic not as a relic of the past, but as a living framework for liberty that can be passed faithfully to future generations.
At the state level, our leaders are called to empower the people—not govern over them. We encourage citizens and communities to reclaim their rightful role in self-government and to restore and perpetuate a constitutional republic consistent with the original understanding and intent of the Framers.
Restoring America’s first dream means restoring the principle that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed, that our rights come from God rather than government, and that liberty is preserved when free people govern themselves.
Three Pillars
The Constitution Party doubles down on the American way of life, American Values, and the American Dream by seeking to restore the supremacy of the Constitution of the United States of America. Which by and far is the single most important document ever agreed upon by any government of mankind.
Integrity
Our officers and candidates are selected from communities just like yours, they are principled men and women of the very best moral fabric. Their first job is to lead by example, be the change, and the type of person we all wish we had in office.
We acknowledge that there will be disagreement, but we require from our own and call from others decorum and candor in those disputes.
Liberty
Our party offers the most innovative and effective non-government solutions to the country’s social and moral issues.
We believe that the big hearts of all well intentions Americans have within them the unique ability to solve our most important social issues through various NGOs, FBOs, and other NPOs; and that such organizations are best led by people with these kinds of convictions.
Prosperity
Our economic policies are designed to invigorate the greatest economy that the U.S. and the world has ever seen. Capitalist in design, proliferation of small business, and a free market that is without government intrusion; no more government sponsored winners.
All the while, our economic policy, increases the standard of living, abolishes income and other taxes.
We are a party of ordinary American Citizens, Patriots to our core, banded together in order to restore and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic, for the purposes of securing the “One Nation Under God“.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
~ John Adams, Second President of the United States of America.
Seven Principles
1. Life
Life for all innocent human beings: from conception to natural death.
2. Liberty
Limit the Government to its enumerated powers; freeing the people.
3. Property
All have the right to own and steward personal property without government.
4. Family
Families are the strength and support of every moral and religious peoples.
5. Founding Documents
A plain and simple understanding of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and it’s Bill of Rights are the bedrock of our platform and the Supreme Law of the Land.
6. State’s Rights
The Constitution delegated few, enumerated powers to the Federal Government, reserving all remaining powers to the States. The tenth Amendment expanded the State’s Rights over the Federal Government.
7. American Sovereignty
George Washington in has farewell address, stated the following: “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world.” America answers to no one.
Our Position
Our policies are neither progressive nor regressive, and they are not rooted in nationalism. Our focus is on decentralized government, local control, and empowering communities to govern themselves. If a label is necessary, “Localist” best describes our approach.
We believe the Constitution and the principles that shaped our nation are deeply influenced by Christian ideals. At the same time, we do not believe religious freedom should be limited to Christians. Freedom of religion is a fundamental principle we defend, including the right of every individual to choose their own faith—or no faith at all. The freedom to worship, believe, and practice according to one’s conscience is essential to a free society.
We also recognize that political opponents and partisan organizations may characterize our positions in ways that do not accurately reflect our principles. We encourage Americans to look beyond political rhetoric, examine our policies for themselves, and judge us by what we actually stand for.
Ultimately, our goal is straightforward: to preserve constitutional government, strengthen local communities, protect individual liberty, and put America and the interests of Americans first.
Constitution Party Agenda
We believe a free people should be self-reliant, self-sustaining, self-defending, self-deterring, and self-determining. Strong individuals and resilient communities reduce the need for centralized government and help ensure that government at every level remains limited, accountable, and close to the people.
Peace, Defense & Security
- Avoid unnecessary wars. We favor diplomacy and peaceful solutions to international and domestic conflicts whenever possible. But if war becomes unavoidable, the nation must be prepared to defend itself decisively and completely.
- Strengthen community defense. We support the Second Amendment and the lawful ability of communities and citizens to participate in organized homeland and community defense.
- Secure our borders while improving immigration. We recognize that many people who enter the country illegally may be seeking legitimate opportunities or fleeing difficult circumstances. However, entering outside the established legal process undermines the rule of law. We support rebuilding and expanding accessible immigration processing centers modeled on the historic role of Ellis Island, creating a more robust, orderly, and lawful immigration system.
Limited & Decentralized Government
- Return government to its constitutional limits. Federal and state governments should focus on their constitutionally enumerated responsibilities while authority is returned to local communities wherever practical.
- Empower local communities. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), charities, and other nonprofits are often better positioned to address community needs than distant government bureaucracies.
- Keep government out of marriage and family life. Families and communities—not government—should have primary responsibility for their private relationships and family decisions.
- Protect equal treatment under the law. Legislation should not grant special privileges or impose special disadvantages based on membership in a particular group. The law should protect individual rights equally.
Economic Freedom
- End the federal income tax. We support repealing the 16th Amendment and eliminating federal taxation of individual income, estates, capital gains, and similar forms of direct taxation.
- End corporate welfare. We support a strong free-market economy without government subsidies designed to favor particular industries or businesses.
- Eliminate preferential tax treatment. Government should not use tax breaks to pick winners and losers in the marketplace. If a tax is unjust or unconstitutional in principle, granting selective exemptions does not solve the underlying problem.
- Promote self-sufficiency. A healthy economy should encourage individuals, families, businesses, and communities to become increasingly self-reliant rather than dependent upon government programs.
Community-Based Services
We believe many social needs can be addressed more effectively by people who live and work in their own communities. Government should make room for local organizations to lead wherever possible, albeit without taxpayers – unless constitutionally authorized – footing the bill, including in:
- Medical, healthcare, mental-health, and pharmaceutical services
- K–12 education, skilled trades, colleges, and universities
- Welfare, charity, unemployment assistance, and family services
Individual Liberty & Responsibility
- Live and let live. Individuals should have broad freedom to make their own choices, provided they respect the equal rights of others.
- Rights come with responsibilities. Liberty does not include the right to infringe upon another person’s life, liberty, property, or constitutional rights.
- Protect innocent life. We support a pro-life position while recognizing that medical circumstances can require carefully defined exceptions to protect the life and health of the mother.
- Freedom of conscience. We affirm the principle expressed in “One Nation Under God, Indivisible” while recognizing that citizenship and equal protection under the law are not determined by religion, race, color, sexual orientation, or lifestyle.
A Constitutional Republic, Rooted in Local Communities
Our vision is a nation where government is limited, communities are empowered, citizens are responsible, and individual liberty is protected. We believe decentralization is one of the strongest safeguards against concentrated political power—and that free people, working together through their families, communities, businesses, charities, and local institutions, can accomplish far more than centralized government alone.
