Richard K. Troxell, who was the Constitution Party’s 1968 presidential candidate, died on December 26, 2019, at the age of 91. The Constitution Party that nominated him had been formed in 1950 and ceased to exist in 1969. It is not the same as today’s Constitution Party.
Troxell was only on the ballot in 1968 in North Dakota.
Charlene Mitchell, the Communist Party’s presidential nominee in 1968, is now the only living presidential candidate from that general election. Thanks to Tim SanSoucie for this news.

Richard, I was not aware that they were still around in 1968, even if just by a thread. Perhaps their Wiki page (only goes through ’64) needs to be updated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Party_(United_States,_1952)
Jeff Becker- The Constitution Party that Richard K. Troxell was a member of was basically absorbed into the American Independent Party. The party was actually called the Constitution Parties of the United States. Each state party was independent of the national organization which was headquartered in Houston, Texas. Many states had different names such as American Constitution Party or Christian Constitution Party. They actually called me in 1966 to organize the party in the state I resided in at the time. Since I was only 16 I declined!
Casual – interesting. Now I am curious as to how they got a 16-year old’s telephone number at that time. You certainly weren’t posting on any internet forums.
Full ballot access for the Constitution party is part of Top Ten Plus PLAS, my formulation. Also the Reform party. To level the playing field.
Presumably the LP and GP COULD help them.
I was disappointed at the crickets in response to my comments here a couple of weeks ago.
I am banned from commenting at IPR. So I just commented at IPR-X, Better Than IPR.
As a back up to my candidacy, a Plan B as it were, I am trying to arrange Darcy Richardson/Tom Knapp or his wife Tamara for the GP AND LP nominations. I am also trying to poach Kevin Zeese, campaign manager for Howie Hawkins campaign. Zeese could also be on that ticket. Zeese Knapp.
So I ask you to comment further about this here and also at IPR, IPR-X, Uncovered Politics and The PLAS Place.
Also I am trying to get Kris Lesiak to interview the alleged Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooter Robert Bowers.
I am also banned from commenting at Knappster.
Comment there also.
Robert, you’re banned from posting on some sites, so you are turning this one into a Green Party thread? Gee, what a surprise.
I think I may be banned from Green Party Watch also! LOL!
Just commented on Darcy Richardson’s Uncovered Politics. No problem.
Comments about milnes are banned at ipr too so you would be wasting your time. They appear to be welcome here though, so knock yourself out.
Gpw appears to no longer be posting anything new including articles or comments.
Jeff Becker- back in the pre-electronic era I used to purchase a World Almanac annually and I always looked at the section about US political parties. The mischievous imp that I was I would write to the address listed to request information. By that method I got on the mailing list of the Prohibition Party, Constitution Parties of the US, Greenback Party and Kirby Hensley’s Univeral Party which was the ultimate in weird. In other words, I set myself up. How they got my phone number back then I am not sure since it wasn’t in my name but they had my address so I guess it wasn’t that tough. I was always a third party buff even before I had developed a political philosophy of my own.
Casual observer…somewhat similar in my case, although I identified as a liberal/progressive democrat starting at age 8 shortly after arriving in the US in 1980. I began researching third parties and third party history that year as well. I can’t remember if it was before or after the November election.
I went thru some far left, anarchist and even nihilist, cynic and outlaw phases in the 80s but continued to side with democrats because I always opposed republicans. I did not actually identify with a third party or a non left right ideology until 1992 in the general election, having still been an active democrat in the primary that year.
And who might paul be?
How about a 2020 New Age usenet list for political juveniles —

Articles about me or by me are still posted at IPR. And comments about me. Just not comments by me.
Crazy policy enforced by paulie cannoli frankel. i.e. paul frankel.
Tom Knapp responded to paulie saying chose me or Milnes so he chose paulie.
Because paulie has made himself indispensable at IPR.
And who might have deleted the comment by Casual Observer at IPR a couple of weeks ago. about me?
So yes, comment about me or Top Ten Plus PLAS on IPR. Or IPR-X. Or Knappster, Uncovered Politics, TPP, or here.
Knock yourselves out.
Maybe IPR will become defunct like GPW. On paulie’s watch.
Geez Demo Rep… you sure are a cryptic buzz kill!
At the Constitution Party of California State Committee meeting in Ontario in August 2010, five somewhat elderly gentlemen introduced themselves to myself & several others there as the remaining leaders from the 1952 California organization of the previous party that nominated General MacArthur for President. When the party fell off the ballot in California they & many others who had since died or moved out of California had kept their registration in the Constitution Party. They were among the 72 members in the original registration report of September 3, 2010.
MORON trolls AA vs MORON trolls ZZ — esp CL.
Deemer,
I thought party in the 1952 election was a write-in within California. The State Senator from the 38th District was the VP nominee with MacArthur. He wrote Mexicali Rose. What time on January 18, 2020 in Torrance and where will
the meeting take place of the Constitution Party?
My aunt and grandmother was involved in the 1952 election for MacArthur after Robert Taft lost to Ike.
“Articles about me or by me are still posted at IPR. And comments about me. ”
Not new ones, except on April 1 of any given year. New comments or articles about you have not been welcome for years.
“policy enforced by paulie”
You’re behind the times. I rarely enforce IPR policies anymore. In recent years that’s mostly dL. It’s always been a number of people. I used to do most of it, but not any time recently.
“Because paulie has made himself indispensable at IPR.”
No longer true. I don’t post most of the articles anymore, nor do I do most of the moderation. That’s been the case for a long time now. You are living in the past.
“And who might have deleted the comment by Casual Observer at IPR a couple of weeks ago. about me?”
Dunno, but deleting any comments about you is IPR policy. Most likely dL but could have been any number of people. I never even saw it.
“So yes, comment about me or Top Ten Plus PLAS on IPR. ”
You will be wasting your time. It will be deleted as soon as any moderator sees it.
“Or IPR-X. Or Knappster, Uncovered Politics, TPP, or here.”
You can post those comments here, Milnes blog, iprx, or uncovered politics. They will be deleted at IPR and if you are telling the truth at Knappster.
“Maybe IPR will become defunct like GPW. On paulie’s watch.”
My watch was over a long time ago. You are behind the times.
Behind the times? Really. I don’t think so.
You are the one pushing the candidacy of Vermin Supreme. Where did that originated? Tel Aviv?
The only third party to get full ballot access or very near. Throw that away on Vermin. Yeah right paulie.
I call for a boycott of IPR. Let us let it go. You and owner Warren Solomon Redlich make me want to puke.
That’s right, paulie. Blame everybody but you. Trick everybody into thinking it is a group effort to ban me.
Trick everybody into thinking you are down with them when you are actually an Israeli lackey.
You are good, I’ll give you that. This has been going on for years. You have been getting away with it for years.
Thank you paulie this. Thank you paulie that.
You succeeded in duping Tom Knapp. That is not easy. You are good.
Lol, k. Please do continue your boycott, especially since you are not welcome there anyway. You can believe whatever crazy crap you want.
Getting away with it for years. Like Harvey Weinstein.
More crickets?
As far as I am concerned you are all witnesses. To paul frankel cyberbullying me. And I say cyberbullying for political reasons is cyberterrorism. Yes, paul and warren are cyberterrorists. I have been gaslighted, snitch jacketed, had my credibility, character and mental health attacked This has been going on for years-decades.
Richard, I fully expect you to ban paul frankel from commenting here on the ground of cyberbullying.
I hear IPR-X is signing up new writers. It is better than IPR. Maybe you could get a bigger audience there.
Good luck with that. Maybe you can sign up joogle and demo rep too. Hope it works out well for you.
Kent M. Soeters, who was a registered write-in candidate for President in 1968 only in the State of California under the banner of the Berkeley Defense Group is still alive. He and his VP James Paul Powers (1948-1977) earned a whopping 17 votes. Soeters was 22 years old at the time.
Steve, should that even count given that this guy was not even old though to hold the office of President?
Good question! Guess that depends on your definition of “count,” which is a relative thing. I just bring it up as a fun point of interest and trivia.
Although some states would not have certified the Soeters/Powers ticket as official write-ins due to their age, California did. In addition to their youth the fact they were both residents of the same state might have complicated things as well. The Berkeley Defense Group still shows up on various lists of 1968 contenders. Their 17 votes were dwarfed by the Troxell/Thayer result of 34 votes– twice as many!
In the 1968 VP category, so far as I know Eldridge Cleaver stand-in running-mates Judith Mage and Cal Winslow (both in the Peace and Freedom Party) and Dick Gregory VP nominee David Frost (Peace-Freedom Alternative) are still alive. Mage and Winslow were under 35 at the time. Mage and Cleaver were never officially included on the ballot in New York although news accounts called her the VP choice in the Empire State, a button was produced, and she vigorously waged a write-in campaign. She was possibly considered the running-mate in Arizona as well, but VPs were not listed on the ballot in that state. Winslow was on the ballot in Washington State with Cleaver, 1,609 votes (0.12%). Frost was on the ballot in New Jersey with Dick Gregory, 8084 votes (0.28%).
By the way thanks for this website. I don’t comment very often but do check the news here frequently and appreciate all the outstanding work that goes into this effort.
This is basically a test.
Evidently Richard has deleted one posted comment by me and declined through moderation one comment.
Is that correct, Richard?
Are you going to delete/decline my further comments i.e. am I banned?
Are you going to ban paul frankel?
Are you going to announce these policy decisions?
Bob- I don’t think Richard actively moderates this board. I don’t believe he deletes very many posts.
If this is basically a test,Robert, you basically flunked. Study harder next time. Richard can have any comments criteria he wants here, or none. I was just clearing up what it is at ipr and who does and does not enforce it. I don’t care if you choose not to believe me .
Casual Observer//Egyptian God? How does it feel to have your comment in IPR deleted -by whoever-just because it mentioned me…favorably? And if it mentioned me unfavorably I believe it would not have been deleted.
The Green party meeting in Camden, NJ on Strategy failed to materialize to the best of my knowledge. Instead we got their declaration to try for full ballot access for the GP ONLY consistent with Howie Hawkins. That is NOT Top Ten. That is NOT cooperation with the LP for full ballot access for ALL FOUR significant third parties. THAT is Top Ten.
As I mentioned here, that includes the Constitution party. In Darcy’s Uncovered Politics I mentioned that I recommend Rocky use his financial assets to help the Reform party with Top Ten to get full ballot access. And run for their nomination. With those 6 we would have a “level playing field” i.e. fair and representative elections.
And the fair and representative debates to go with that.
I know this is an important interest of Richard’s.
paul,
what do you think of my proposal for the jews to be relocated to the Sinai peninsula?
The apartheid occupation of Palestine should end.
The U.N. would have to ask Egypt and the Bedouins numbering about 400k. They would have to be relocated to the surrounding areas.
Sinai actually looks pretty good from my laptop. Lots of coastline. Mountains in the south area.
I doubt there is much oil underground but I say that is a good thing.
I would recommend solar and wind power. And desalination plants.
All we have to do is stop climate change to stop the rising waters. But again, that is a good thing.
Are you up to the challenge?
Richard,
Will you endorse Top Ten plus PLAS?
Andy: Oops, I forget to include 1968 CPUSA VP nominee Michael Zagarell among those still above ground. He was also under the age of 35 at the time. Looks like the Mitchell/Zagarell team is the last ticket from that year where both candidates are still alive as far as I know.
“Casual Observer//Egyptian God? How does it feel to have your comment in IPR deleted -by whoever-just because it mentioned me…favorably?”
Feels bad man
Indeed. I felt bad, for myself and PLAS. And for whoever wrote the comment. PLAS has been around for more or less 10 years, getting nowhere fast. Starting with me with email conversations with Tom Knapp. That is, to the best of my knowledge no one else was professing it or something like it. Whoever wrote that comment evidently had some knowledge about it and the GP. Put a lot of thought into it and time and energy into posting it. So here is a ray of hope from the GP and then the Dark Cloak of Deletion manifests at IPR.
Sounds almost approaching the level of an evil crime against humanity. We escalate at IPR spreading to here BAN like a disease from cyberbullying to cyberbullying in service of dirty politics i.e. cyberterrorism, to crime against humanity.
Yes, I say to deliberately suppress a proposal to expand election rights and possible political solutions to human problems is a crime against humanity.
What say you, Richard, here at BAN, your owned blog?
I have been doing some further research from my thinktank laptop about Sinai.
First, it is more or less three times larger than Israel, depending how many square miles of occupied territory one includes. e.g. Golan Heights, annexation of West Bank territory, Gaza, etc.
It has a warm and sunny climate. But kind of dry. The pictures of the Saint Catherines – Mount Sinai area look kind of rough, dry, but scenic. And near the monastery there are some trees and some vegetation. How did that get there? And it looks like there is a small lake or pond or reservoir. How did that get there?
Perhaps a creek or spring was dammed?
There are three lakes in Sinai. All saline and at low elevation. One on the Mediterranean coast, two associated with the Suez canal.
Now, what if there is an area up in those formidable mountains that could hold a body of fresh water? Then desalination plants piped fresh water into it? There could be feeder pipes from the main pipe to cover large areas with fresh water. For homes, businesses, industry, irrigation.
It would be a huge engineering project.
Once again, are you up to the challenge?
