Party State Organizing

Convention "A Huge Success!"

 

 

Nancy Shearer Chiasson, former temporary State Chairman of the new Constitution Party of Arizona and Convention Chairman for this past Saturday's (November 15)  State Convention reports:

 

"I am thrilled to report that the new Arizona State Convention was a huge success!!!  We have a slate of terrific new officers and national committeemen.  Every motion passed without dissent.  We adopted the National Platform as our own, reaffirmed our affiliation with the national Constitution Party, adopted bylaws, scored 5 new county chairmen,  and raised enough money to pay for the meeting.  I have done a lot of these organizational meetings over the years, and this one was the best ever.  We had an unusually outstanding group show up.  I feel very optimistic about the ballot drive for 2010."

 

Chiasson is the daughter of the late William K. Shearer, former Constitution Party National Chairman and founder of California's American Independent Party, an original affiliate state party of the US Taxpayer's Party, which changed its name to the Constitution Party in 1999.

 

The following state officers were elected for the 2008-2010 term: 

Chairman – Mark Hubler
Vice-Chairman – Chris Bragan
Secretary – Mike Braunberger
Treasurer – Stephanie Cox
 

Newly elected Chairman  Mark Hubler appointed the following people to fill additional offices:
 
Parliamentarian – Thom Strawn
Chaplain – Pastor Tim Coleman
Organizational Liaison – Ken Becht

 

Ken Becht and Randy George were elected to the position of National Committeemen for the 2008-10 term.

 

A  strategy for ballot access was discussed.  It was determined that the first step necessary was to acquire local leadership for each of Arizona's counties.  To this end it was agreed that Chairman Hubler would make the following appointments of temporary county chairmen to start organizing in the following counties:
 
Apache County -  Mark Haynes
Coconino County – Stuart Cole
Maricopa County – Chris Bragan
Navajo County – Wayne Jones
Pinal County – Randy George
Yavapai County – Thom Strawn

 

Attendance at the convention was excellent and the Constitution Party of Arizona now has a 25 member State Central Committee with which to begin it efforts to build  for the future.

 

The Convention voted to adopt the following Statement of Principles and Goals:
 
"America needs the leadership of the Constitution Party of Arizona
 
We pledge to:
 
·       Stop the undeclared wars which are daily costing American lives and billions of tax dollars;
 
·       End America's dependence on foreign oil;
 
·       Stop reckless spending, including foreign aid, and take care of America's domestic needs;
 
·       End debt financing of the Federal government;
 
·       Get rid of the Federal income tax, and restore a tariff-based revenue system;
 
·       Immediately terminate international trade agreements such as NAFTA, WTO, and the FTAA, and stop sending high paying American jobs to foreign countries;
 
·       Close the borders to illegal immigration, and stop all government subsidies to illegal aliens;
 
·       Defend America's moral values; keep God in the pledge of allegiance;
 
·       Protect the right to life of the innocent unborn and the elderly;
 
·       Support high standards in education, including encouragement of private schools and home schooling;
 
·       Stop judicial tyranny and legislating from the bench;
