Militia officers, state's attorneys, lawyers, professors and schoolteachers were in the van of this "conscript army."

The party's National Treasurer, William D. Chapman Sr, acting on his own, tried to get the FEC to close down the party on grounds that it did not have a substantial bank account...something that had also been true in 2001 and 2002 during the Buchanan era.
