The American Constitution Party (ACN) is one of the state of Colorado's political parties. It is affiliated with the national-level Constitution Party, a conservative political party in the United States that says it bases most of its policy positions on the Constitution. The party asserts that the US is a Christian nation founded on the Bible and that American jurisprudence should be restored to what the party claims is its "Biblical foundations". The ACN qualified for major party status in Colorado after receiving more than 36% of the vote in the 2010 gubernatorial election. As the party did not field a candidate in the 2014 election, it reverted to minor party status. Background The American Constitution Party registered as a political party with the state of Colorado on July 23, 2000. In July 2013, the ACN had just over 7,000 registered Colorado voters affiliated with it. Some of the party's positions include: ACN members ... call for the abolition of the Food and Drug Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the departments of Education and Energy and the Federal Election Commission. They seek the repeal of a number of laws, including one aimed at preventing threats and force against abortion clinics and women seeking abortions and a 1960s-era law meant to end discriminatory election practices. For most of its existence, the ACN has existed as one of Colorado's "minor parties", and has never elected one of its candidates to office. Party platform The American Constitution Party of Colorado seeks to: Allow state legislatures, not voters, to pick U.S. senators (i.e., repeal the 17th Amendment) Repeal legislation making it illegal to use force or the threat of force to interfere with a woman seeking an abortion Abolish congressional pensions End the Endangered Species Act Terminate the U.S. Departments of Energy and Education, the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Election Commission and the Internal Revenue Service Ban electronic voting to prevent voter fraud Repeal all federal campaign-finance laws Repeal the Voting Rights Act of 1965 End compulsory public school attendance and promote homeschooling, private schools or religious schools End any domestic federal aid not provided for in the U.S. Constitution, as it is "not only illegal, it is immoral" End foreign aid and participation in multinational groups, such as the United Nations, as well as multinational treaties Retake the Panama Canal for the United States Prevent women from serving in combat as
