Press Release Body: COLUMBUS, OHIO - Constitution Party Presidential Candidate Chuck
Baldwin (www.baldwin2008.com) has filed a nominting petition containing 11,300
signatures with the Ohio Secretary of State to gain ballot access in the November
election. The Constitution Party is the nation\'s third largest political party per
www.ballot-access.org. 5,000 signatures are needed for independent ballot access in
Ohio.

\"Wherever I go I hear from folks who are afraid of Obama and don\'t trust McCain\",
Baldwin noted. \"Voters are fed up with the parties that now control our government
... they\'ve determined they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by voting
for someone instead of against someone\", Baldwin added.

A recent Fox News poll shows Americans are considering the third party option as
never before - 47% said they\'d vote for a third party candidate.

A Zogby poll showed similar numbers as voters voiced discontent with the current
Republican and Democratic candidates: Fully 48% said they are dissatisfied and the
survey finds 44% would never vote for Obama; 42% said McCain \"will never get\" their
support!

Baldwin, 2004 Constitution Party Vice Presidential candidate, is an outspoken
conservative political newspaper and internet columnist (NewsWithViews.com),
minister and founder of Pensacola\'s well-known Crossroad Baptist Church, a radio
talk show host and author. Baldwin won his party\'s nomination after 74% of the
delegates at the Constitution Party convention voted for him over former UN
Ambassador Alan Keyes.

\"American voters are likely to deliver a \"November Surprise\" to the two \"Big Box\"
parties now controlling our government... American voters have a right to expect
their president to secure their borders, support life from conception to its natural
end, and never commit American soldiers to a war unless it has been legally declared
by congress and is necessary to protect and defend this nation.\"

The petition drive for ballot access was started before the Constitution Party
nominating convention in April 2008. Therefore, the petition was originally
circulated with CP National Chairman Jim Clymer\'s name. Chuck Baldwin\'s name will
be substituted pursuant to Ohio law in the next two weeks.
