I was initially surprised that, of all places, Arizona and Alabama were the first two states to have affiliates.  Then I thought, where better than here?  There are probably more church/state separation issues in the Bible Belt than anywhere else in the country.  When I heard that Arizona formed a state affiliate, I wondered if there would ever be a chapter here, and now there is.  Here's hoping they flourish and meet with success.
