*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."
