Wrongful Impeachment:
a Former Arizona Governor Exposes How Powerful, Behind-the-scenes
Special Interests Control the Government and Pushed an Innocent Man
Out of Office.
Phoenix--How widespread is political corruption and how do those involved operate? Are our elected officials no longer
influenced by popular opinion but controlled by special interests with money and power. ''Government control by unelected
power brokers is a national crisis,'' says former Arizona Governor Evan Mecham, ''and Arizona is one of the most
politically corrupt states in the Union.'' Mecham's book, Wrongful Impeachment, is a shocking, first hand look at how a group
of power brokers, representing many of Arizona's largest special interests, control the government and illegally removed him
from office.
Mecham presents compelling evidence that his 1988 impeachment was orchestrated by a powerful behind-the-scenes group
lead by the Phoenix 40. Threatened by Mecham's pledge to take political power out of the hands of special interests and
return to government on behalf of the people, the powerbrokers hatched an ingenious plot to get rid of him. Fifteen months
into his four-year term, despite the fact that Mecham had not broken a single civil or criminal law, they succeeded.
As Mecham unravels the fascinating plot to oust him from the Governor's office, readers are introduced to key characters in
Arizona's notorious political history.
Although ultimately acquitted of all wrongdoing, Mecham suffered a grand jury indictment, impeachment and was the target
of a recall petition, making him the only officer in U.S. history to be attacked on so many fronts. Describing his ordeal with
detail and depth, Mecham makes it easy to understand the intricate processes of government and how they can so easily be
manipulated.
Mecham began writing Wrongful Impeachment in 1988-89 as a record of truth for his family, but after witnessing yet another
decade of corrupt government, Mecham decided the truth must be revealed. ''By informing the public, my hope is that we can
return to a government in which elected officials serve the people instead of themselves and special interests.''
Wrongful Impeachment sells for $20 plus $4 shipping. It can be ordered from Prime News Press, P.O. Box 5279, Glendale,
AZ 85312. You can read more about the book at fivestarsupport.com.
