Constitution Party Vice Presidential Candidate

Darrell L. Castle

Born, 1948, Kingsport, Tennessee.

Education

Darrell has a Bachelor’s Degree in History and Political Science from East Tennessee State University. In 1979 he graduated with a Juris Doctorate from the University of Memphis Law School.

Military Service

Darrell is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corp. He served from 1970- 1974. His service as a 2nd Lieutenant 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 left the Marine Corp 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.

Political

Darrell served two terms as Constitution Party of Tennessee State Chairman, is serving his third term as Vice Chairman of the National Committee and two terms as Platform Chairman at the National Convention. Darrell has taught the Institute on the Constitution course and written articles and commentaries addressing national issues and analysis of current events. He spent the 4th of July this year on the Border with Mrs. Compean and Mrs. Ramos.

Since 2005, Darrell has served on the Board of the Conservative Caucus. He served as Chairman of the National Veterans Coalition (www.nvets.org), an outreach of the national Constitution Party, in 2007.
