Chuck Baldwin is a citizen of the United States of America just like you and me. The difference is that he is not an elected politician offering the same old political answers. Chuck Baldwin has talked the talk and walked the walk. He doesn't have a history of flip-flops and he does not test the wind every time he takes a position. Refreshing isn't it? Have you ever thought what you would do if you were elected President of the United States? Chuck has done just that and he is providing the right answers to the important questions.

Darrell L. Castle
OFFICE NOMINATION: Vice President of the United States
ADDRESS: 2586 Hocksett, Germantown, Tennessee 38119
WEBSITE: www.baldwin08.com
Born, 1948, Kingsport, Tennessee.
Darrell graduated from East Tennessee State University with a B.A. in History and Political Science. He received a J.D. degree from Memphis State University Law School (University of Memphis).
Darrell is an attorney in private practice with firms in Memphis, TN, St. Louis, MO, and Kansas City, MO. The Castle Law Firms specialize in Bankruptcy and Personal Injury.
Darrell enrolled in ROTC for two years and attended the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders class in Quantico, VA.
After graduation from college, Darrell was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. His service in Viet Nam followed a family military tradition; his oldest brother served in the Army during World War II, another brother served as a Marine in the Korean War. Darrell trained under then, 1st Lt. Oliver North. After graduation from Basic School, Darrell's unit received a unit citation for being deployed in five different theaters of operation at the same time. He was promoted to 1st Lieutenant and received orders to the Far East for 13 months.
Darrell left the Marine Corp in 1974 a very different person than he was when he went in. It was a life changing event and his experience during those years has contributed to his strong belief that war should not be entered into capriciously, and, that the decision to go to war must be made according to constitutional provisions. Darrell firmly believes we must uphold Article I Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, which makes it clear that only Congress can declare war that those powers are not granted to the president.
Darrell has served the local church as deacon and deacon chairman. In 1998, he and wife Joan founded Mia's Children Foundation, Inc. (www.miaschildren.org), a Christian mission in Bucharest, Romania which ministers to homeless gypsy children.

Darrell and his wife Joan have been married for 30 years, they live in Germantown, TN. Their daughter Joanna and her
husband Michael Miller serve with the Navigators Ministry at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

Lester I. Townsend
OFFICE NOMINATION: United States Representative - 12nd District
ADDRESS: 15264 Rudland, Roseville, Michigan 48066
PHONE: 586-773-5744
EMAIL: les@voteforles.info
WEBSITE: www.voteforles.info
BORN: 1946
MILITARY SERVICE: US Army Veteran, 1964-1968
FAMILY: Married to wife, Sharon; two daughters
EXPERIENCE: Retired Government Employee
I am a retired pension administrator. I have prepared a report on the funding of Social Security, which illustrates that no increase in taxes or cuts in benefits are needed. The only problem with Social Security is that Congress has spent all of the money. We can fix the system by setting up a pension-style trust, which can then be funded by transferring oil drilling rights on Federal lands into the trust with a legislative mandate to develop the resources. This will end our dependence on imported oil and fix Social Security.
I may be kept off the November ballot because the Republicans put me on the primary ballot as a candidate for Precinct
Delegate.
