A Biographical Sketch
BORN: May 3, 1952, to Mr. & Mrs. Edwin J. Baldwin in La Porte, Indiana. Chuck's father, Ed Baldwin, was a welder by trade and a converted alcoholic. His life story has been played over the international radio program, "Unshackled." He was a lay preacher in the jails and prisons of Northern Indiana for over 35 years.
FAMILY: Chuck is married to the former Miss Connie Kay Cole. Chuck and Connie were married on June 2, 1973 after meeting in college. They have three children. All three children and their families are active, dedicated Christians. Their daughter, Sarah, is married to Allan Baker, a Structural Engineer. They have three children, Emily, Jay and Amy. One son, Christopher, is married to the former Miss Jana McCoy. They have three sons: Charles, James, and Jeb. Chris owns his own plumbing construction business. The youngest son, Timothy, is a former Florida Assistant State Attorney (called District Attorney in some states) who now owns his own law firm. All three children and their families reside in Pensacola.

CALL TO MINISTRY:As a young man, Chuck had decided to pursue a career in law enforcement. His plan was to join the U.S. Marine Corps and afterward begin working as a Deputy Sheriff in La Porte County, Indiana. The Sheriff at that time was Cliff Arnold. (Arnold later became an Indiana State Representative.) Mr. Arnold had told Chuck that following his tour in the Marines, a position at the Sheriff's office was waiting for him. All that changed in the summer of 1970 when Chuck answered the divine call to Gospel minisitry. As a result, instead of joining the Marines, Chuck enrolled in Bible College.

He enrolled in the Thomas Road Bible Institute (now known as the Liberty Bible Institute at Liberty University) and graduated with his Bible Diploma. He then earned his Bachelor of Theology and Master of Theology degrees via external degree programs from Christian Bible College in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Chuck received his first honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Christian Bible College. He received his second honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville, Florida. On this occasion Dr. Baldwin brought the Commencement Address to a crowd of over 5,000.

In 1985 the church was recognized by President Ronald Reagan for its unusual growth and influence. The church has gone through five building programs and has just move into its current 750-seat auditorium and office complex. The church plans to next construct a gymnasium/youth center.

He received the "National Medal of Patriotism" award from the American Police Hall of Fame and is a volunteer chaplain at the State Prison in Century, Florida. He is also listed in "Who's Who of the Gulf Coast."

the little i know of him gives me a "He's OK" type feeling . I also have the old feeling of the "Your not one of us" mentality that the beltway bleeds . Could he even begin to work with a very corrupt congress ? Would he use the Constitution and jail the traitors ? Would he be murdered if he got even near the Oval Office ?

Mr. Arnold had told Chuck that following his tour in the Marines, a position at the Sheriff's office was waiting for him. All that changed in the summer of 1970 when Chuck answered the divine call to Gospel minisitry. As a result, instead of joining the Marines, Chuck enrolled in Bible College.

A lot of guys enrolled in divinity schools to dodge the military draft in the early 1970's. Yet apparently Mr. Baldwin likes to embrace nothing but conservative causes. What have been his stands on environmental issues? Has he assisted any efforts to get hazaradous chemicals and procedures out of the workplace? Any activism for disabled people?

It takes balance to be a leader.

This is the kind of drivel that gave us the politically correct, environmental wacko's that we have now.

None of these issues are what concerns me about where the country is headed.

I think illegal immigration, outsourcing of jobs, the NWO, SPP the real ID and loss of our freedom from the Patriot Act are what I am looking to have addressed in this next election.

Once we have our Country back, these other issues can be addressed, right now they are wedge issues and non-starters as far as I am concerned.

I just would like someone who has our Country and our Constitution as their main concerns.

Hillary, Obama and John McCain are the so called front runners.

Do you feel the above front runners will give you more balance?

Do you feel the above front runners will give you more balance?

Hey!! Whoever said that?? Stop calling my comments drivel. I'm glad we have restrictions on things like asbestos so that fewer people are wheezing and choking and sucking up Medicare expenses. I'm glad that my own construction industry has enacted better safety requirements so that people can keep on working instead of being crippled with broken backs. I also grew up in a family that had a handicapped adult so I know what it is like to see disabled people rejected out of our society. It's better for them to be working than getting public benefits.

I'm more disturbed by these flakes in office jobs who complain about things like mold and carpal tunnel. Loss of freedom from the Patriot Act? I think all these complainers who think extra security in airports is worse than getting blown out of the sky by smuggled explosives should be rounded up and expelled out of the country. I've never had any problems with the security measures the Bush administration has been encating. I wish they would do more security to get the trespassers out of here.

And since you apparently doubt my integrity i know from firsthand experience that a lot of these fundamentalist ministers suddenly had a change of heart from other pursuits and went to divinity schools in the early 70's. A lot of them would have rather been football players if the truth were told. But I suppose it is good we've got them or the liberals would be running amok.

Wow! Captainron, Darlene, what's up? We are all on the same side here. Do you have anything in particular against Chuch Baldwin? If you have something of substance on him then let 'er rip. I don't want another corporate politician in office do you? And that is what we will have if Osama, Billary, or McLambrain become president. I don't know about Chuck Baldwin, on the surface he looks like what we need, but It's time to get out the shovels and see if we can dig up any dirt on him. If not, then maybe we have a winner here. Lets work together, not drive a wedge between each other!

R & R!

We don't need to get side tracked with a bunch of side issues when our country is under attack by imperialist and global war mongers.

I agree with Avenger, Lets save the freaking country!

This bodes well for him in my book. I supported Peroutka in 04, and have long known that the CP is a good party. Apparently he has been in the CP for years. For some reason I was under the impression that Baldwin was hand picked by Paulites who had pulled a coup in the CP. Guess I was taken in too much by pro-Keyes propaganda.
