Skip Morgan THIS LISTING: Offering another TOUGH TO FIND "LOCAL" vintage historical political election campaign pinback button for your growing collection.....FORMER ARIZONA GOVERNOR IMPEACHED & REMOVED FROM OFFICE Evan Mecham (May 12, 1924 – February 21, 2008) was an American businessman and the 17th governor of Arizona, serving from January 5, 1987, until his impeachment conviction on April 4, 1988. A decorated veteran of World War II, Mecham was a successful automotive dealership owner and occasional newspaper publisher.Periodic runs for political office earned him a reputation as a perennial candidate along with the nickname of "The Harold Stassen of Arizona" before he was elected governor, under the Republican banner. As governor, Mecham was plagued by controversy almost immediately after his inauguration and became the first U.S. governor to simultaneously face removal from office through impeachment, a scheduled recall election, and a felony indictment. He was the first and only Arizona governor to be impeached, as well as one of only 15 U.S. governors to be impeached.Mecham served one term as a state senator before beginning a string of unsuccessful runs for public office. His victory during the 1986 election began with a surprise win of the Republican nomination, followed by a split of the Democratic party during the general election, resulting in a three-way race. While Governor, Mecham became known for statements and actions that were widely perceived as racially charged or racist. Among these actions were the cancellation of the state's paid Martin Luther King Jr. Day and creating an unpaid King holiday on a Sunday, attributing high divorce rates to working women, and his defense of the word "pickaninny" in describing African American children. In reaction to these events, a boycott of Arizona was organized. A rift between the Governor and fellow Republicans in the Arizona Legislature developed after the Arizona Republic newspaper made accusations of questionable political appointments and cronyism, accusations that Mecham contended were false.Having served from January 5, 1987, to April 4, 1988, Mecham was removed from office following conviction in his impeachment trial on charges of obstruction of justice and misuse of government funds—funds that Mecham maintained were private. A later criminal trial acquitted Mecham of related charges. Following his removal from office, Mecham remained active in politics for nearly a decade. During this time, he served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention and made his final runs for the Arizona governorship and also for the U.S. Senate, in which he unsuccessfully challenged John McCain as an independent. ****IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE MECHAM FAMILY AND LOOKING FOR AN AUTHENTIC CAMPAIGN ITEM FROM ONE OF YOUR RELATIVES, THIS WOULD BE A REAL SWEET ITEM TO BRING BACK INTO THE FAMILY OR AS A GREAT GIFT!! celluloid===NOTE some slight spots "A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS" ***PLEASE SEE MY OTHER CURRENT LISTINGS---LISTED IN SEVERAL CROSSOVER/RELATED CATEGORIES....FOR GREAT POLITICAL BUTTONS/OTHER ITEMS!!

He Leadeth Me In pastures green?Not always; sometimes Hewho knoweth best, in kindness leadeth meIn many ways where heavy shadows be.Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright...Out of the sunshine into the darkest night,I oft would faint with sorrow and affright,Only for this...I know He holds my hand;so whether in the green or desert landI trust although I may not understand. And by still waters?No, not always so;Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow,And o'er my soul the waters and billows go.But when the storms beat loudest and I cryaloud for help, the Master standeth byAnd whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,Beyond this darkness lies a perfect day.In every path of thine I lead the way. So whether on the hilltops high and fairI dwell, or in the sunless valleys where The shadows lie...what matters? He is there.And more than this, where'er the pathway leadHe gives to me no helpless broken reed,But His own hand, sufficient for my need.So where He leads me, I can safely go,And in the blest hereafter I shall knowWhy in His wisdom, He hath led me so.Author Unknown "BE NOT OVERCOME BY EVIL BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD" Romans 12:21
