Former TCCF Trustee Jesse Grier Dead at 85
One of the most faithful friends of the work performed by The
Conservative Caucus and The Conservative Caucus Foundation of
which he had served as a Trustee was Jesse Grier who died on
Christmas Day at the age of 85.
Jesse attended Haverford College and played football for the
college. He was a Naval officer in the Pacific theatre, a
chemical engineer widely regarded as a genius, worked for Total
in Calvert City, Kentucky.
Jesse was active with Take Back Kentucky, the Constitution
Party, and as a supporter of Hillsdale College.
He loved the game of golf and was a member of the Calvert
City Country Club. He was also a jazz aficionado.
Jesse was a dear and generous friend who will be much missed.

The Internet Has Changed Presidential Politics
Congressman Ron Paul’s
success in receiving some $20 million for his Presidential
candidacy primarily via the internet offers future hope for
candidates not favored by the mainstream media.
Of course, Ron Paul benefited greatly from his presence in
Republican debates and the mean-spirited attack on him by Rudy
Giuliani and his response defending his opposition to the war in
Iraq.
What this means is that a candidate with strong
Constitutional views, if those views are exposed on the mass
media to millions of his fellow citizens, is in a position to
raise enough funding to mount a serious campaign.
