Spring 2009 Constitution Party National Committee Meeting!

Mary Starrett


The Spring 2009 Constitution Party National Committee Meeting, scheduled for June 11-13, in Newark, New Jersey will mark a "homecoming" of sorts for Constitution Party Communications Director, Mary Starrett, as it will bring her back to within miles of the area where she grew up. Mary, who now resides in Oregon and who was the Constitution Party nominee for Governor of that state in 2006, was raised in Brooklyn, New York. Her father, Ken was one of the founders of the New York State Conservative Party in the late 60’s. Mary remembers John Birch Society meetings in the basement of the family home in Bay Ridge.

Mary graduated Cum Laude from Emerson College in Boston, Mass, worked at network affiliate television stations for over 20 years, starting at WCVB TV in Boston, as a news writer, WGHP TV, High Point, Greensboro, NC as a news anchor, KVOS TV, Bellingham WA as a news anchor, and at KATU TV, Portland Oregon as a morning talk show host and host of a nightly feature magazine program. Well know for having the courage of her convictions and for her dogged determination to stand up for her principles and for the truth, Mary was fired, after 17 years at ABC affiliate KATU, for “using the program as a forum for (her) beliefs”.


After that, Mary hosted a weekday drive time talk show at KPDQ Radio in Portland where she was also warned by station management not to “criticize” President George W. Bush’s policies as the station’s parent company Salem Broadcasting had “invested a lot of money to get him elected”. Undeterred by pressure from her "principals" and guided by her "principles," Mary courageously continued to criticize policies of President Bush, and as a result was relieved of her duties at KPDQ in January of 2006. Thereafter, Mary resumed her talk show at KFNX in Phoenix Az.


Mary has written on current events, political issues and the politics of health for various internet and newspaper outlets like the Portland Tribune , the Oregonian, and her articles currently can be found online at News with Views. (www.newswithviews.com)

The Constitution Party nominee for Oregon governor in 2006, Mary ran a very strong race which garnered a substantial amount of media attention, both inside and outside the state. Her candidacy was challenged in court by the Republican candidate in the race, who felt threatened by her candidacy, which among other things featured her strong and unapologetic support for the Right to Life. The GOP challenge to the Starrett candidacy was covered by Britt Hume’s Special Report on Fox News.

Without a doubt one of most respected and popular national Constitution Party personalities, Mary Starret became the party's Communications Director in January of 2006. She has done an outstanding job, through her tireless and relentless efforts, in bringing the news of the Constitution Party to people all over the country. A creative wordsmith, Mary has added imaginative and memorable terms, such as "Big Box Parties" (to label the Democrat and Republican Parties) and "battered voter syndrome" (to describe the voters who keep going back to them) to America's political lexicon. Blessed with beauty, charm, boundless energy, an indefatigable devotion to constitutional principles and traditional American values, and a wonderful sense of humor, Mary Starrett
is one of the finest and most entertaining speakers for freedom in America.
