The Arizona Democratic Party met in Flagstaff Arizona August 20th to elect a new Party Chairman. Harry Mitchell was elected to fill the position. Harry Mitchell is a AZ State Senator who gave a profound acceptance speech which hopefully will showcase his view of the Arizona Democratic Party.
Mr. Mitchell spoke of Arizona Democrats welcoming everyone to our home, that all are welcomed to our family. He also asked if someone finds the Republican Tent too drafty, that they are welcomed to the home of the Democratic Party as all are welcomed.
The party voted on a resolution to request the withdrawal of troops from Iraq:
The agreed language of the resolution:
RESOLUTION TO WITHDRAW US TROOPS FROM IRAQ
"Whereas the AZ Democratic Party is supportive of our Men and Women in military service and supportive of their families.
And whereas the AZ State Democratic Party opposes the reasons previously stipulated by the Bush Administration for war in Iraq; the method of prosecution of the war and its failure to have an adequate exit plan from Iraq.
Be it resolved that the AZ Democratic Party call upon the Bush Administration and the US Congress to support the families of our service people and to fully fund veterans and military benefits for our service personnel. We call upon the Bush administration to remove our troops from Iraq in as responsible and expeditious a fashion as possible."
This was passed overwhelmingly!
