The Recorder's Office will be conducting public meetings on “Reprecincting” starting at LD23’s 6 pm., Sept 13 meeting at the Scottsdale Congregational Church Fellowship Hall, 4425 N. Granite Reef Scottsdale, 85251.  No RSVP required.

National Tea Party Patriots Chairman Jenny Beth Martin urges voters call the White House 202-456-1414 and leave a reminder message that President Trump promised to “drain the swamp” and “repeal Obamacare” pointing out that Congress has failed to fulfill their promise to repeal Obamacare. “It’s time to give them some motivation. The President must direct the Office of Personnel Management to rescind the directive that gave Congress and their staffs a special, taxpayer funded subsidy for their health insurance. This is an illegal subsidy and Congress should not be above the law. Do this now - before he goes on vacation,” she said. Contact: Martin at jenny.beth@teapartypatriots.org

McCain Didn't Stand Alone“Let's not forget that John McCain didn't stand alone. He stood with two female senators from his party. McCain may have given a bold thumbs down, but...”  McCain-Says-He-Accidentally-Voted-No-On-Healthcare-Repeal

Alan Korwin, one of the nation's leading Second Amendment gun-rights experts and author of the AZ Gun Owner's Guide, appeared on Phoenix ABC15 TV this past Wednesday night commenting on Phoenix Walgreen's shooting

Editor’s Note: Please keep opinion pieces to 400 words. -ft

Life-long Republican Nancy Russell Plencner of Pinetop to all Arizona Congressional Republicans - from John McCain on down:

   · Stop the grandstanding.

   · Stop writing books that present you as something you are not.

   · Stop saying one thing and doing another.

   · Stop over promising and under delivering.

   · Stop blaming the system and the Democrats.

   · Stop racing over to Statuary Hall to get your face once again on TV. 

   · Stop emailing me with propaganda that is impossible to reply to and exposing me to the frustration of your office phones that are never answered and mail boxes that are always full. 

   · Stop asking me for money.

   · Stop trashing our duly elected Republican President.

   · Stop being so darn phony! 

   · Stop electing Congressional leaders who either do not have the ability to or are unwilling to actually do the heavy lifting.

   · Stop taking Breaks, Vacations, Junkets, and stop hiding from your constituents.  Most of you have been in DC far too long.  Since January 20th you have had a golden chance to shine and so far you have totally blown every opportunity.

   · Stop thinking about your reelection instead of our Country, focus on the agenda Americans sent you there to accomplish.  Try staying in your office and actually working....glue your pants to the seat if you must, and get the job done! A disgusted life-long Republican.

Yavapai County PC Dave Hollenbeck responds to Yuma County PC Connie Uribe’s “There Should Be No Surprise About Lines'…” 8-3-17-briefs: I was a California Highway Patrol Officer for over 30 years.  In California, some cities have jails. In every county, the Sheriff runs the jails. In San Diego County, new deputies went automatically for a year, working in the jail(s). Why? To teach the deputies that some of the most engaging people are Sociopaths. This seems to be why people were elected overwhelmingly in the past 60 years. We elected "Nice guys"--without many other qualities.  Look at Bill Clinton. Everyone says "What a nice guy he is". He was a draft evader, then an elected official that was accused of rape. Many people assert that Trump doesn't act "Presidential". I have worked for men like him. Many were gruff, short at times--But they always "Had your back".

LD21 PC Randy Miller Responds To G. Perry In Tucson: I, too, have had my frustrations with the GOP, but I wouldn’t say it is because of their stance on school funding, and I wouldn’t say they have been strong on the Second Amendment. In fact, they have been just as destructive to the Constitution as the Democrats. One only must look at George Bush’s“Patriot Act” to see what I am talking about. And let’s not overlook their caving on Obamacare and gun registration. I could go on but am limited to 300 words. As far as schools go, the state budget is almost 50% dedicated to education! This doesn’t count the average 60% of your property taxes and a chunk of federal funding (this too is wrong). So where have Republicans failed on education? We need to look at our school boards and superintendents. That is where the local budgets are formed and where spending is decided.

     The FBI director makes approximately $130,000/yr. Why does a Superintendent need to make over $220/yr with benefits? The governor doesn’t make that much. Plus, why do our schools dislike disclosing exactly what they spent and where? They need to itemize (on their local sites) by specific departments how much they spend on administration, transportation, teachers, substitutes, personnel and training, travel, supplies and services, maintenance, etc. and what they spend in each on salaries, benefits, travel expenses, training, meals, vacant positions (this is a nice place holder, by the way). Dysart had over $170 million-dollar budget in 2014 and only had a 4-page budget saying NOTHING and every year they want an override. Property taxes are getting out of control as are sales taxes to pay for local government waste and mistakes. Wake up people!

The Arizona Project will meet at 6:30 pm., Mon., Aug 7 at 3375 E Shea Blvd in Phoenix to discuss current events. Contact Chr Ron Ludders at602.677.1496

LD22 PC Clair Van Steenwyk responding to L. Hacks response to LD6 J. Leslie concerning polls and credible candidates. 8-3-17 Briefs There were polls done in the 2016 by Gravis showing Dr. Ward leading McCain 46% to 36% with 20% Undecided and we all know that McCain received 51% to Wards' 36% - so the only poll you can truly trust is the one of the Voters as most pollsters tend to show desired results of those who pay them.  Credible is a word bandied about by many. I believe we need a credible well-funded candidate as Sen. Flake has now released a book attacking Pres. Trump - not something a worried Flake would do. I believe he's fairly sure of himself in the primary and that he'll have the GOP RINO Fund of McCain & Crew to support him. Without the $$$ to support a Credible Candidate the outcome for most of us won't be the desired one - mostly due to the Uninformed, Disconnected Voter which is what the GOP Elite RINOs always count on. Here's the Link to the Gravis / Clear Politics Poll (Gravis_AZ_August_13-16_2015 ). I hope a credible candidate will be able to raise $4,000,000 of well-managed $$$ as that's what it will take. Please don't waste funds on out of state consultants who just love to BLOW monies early on their Friends. Don't shoot / advertise until you see the whites of their eyes in late June early July when the Voters start paying attention - as you're wasting the funds on the choir before that. Spend sparingly between now and then. We spent $4,500 on House Race and received 30% of the Vote in CD 8 against an 8-term incumbent who spent $270,000, to get that percentage. I've been told this isn't possible by experts who've asked what the formula is for that return on so little $$$ spent. We did it and with enough $$$ to reach Voters; could have won and believe eventually we will.

PC Art Olivas: A real men will WORK at whatever it takes to care for his family. Americans built America.  In my teens, back in 1950- 60's, I worked in the fields picking cotton, potatoes, lettuce, onions, cantaloupe and water melon to help support my brothers and sisters. We lost our father when I was 14 years old. At that time, my grandfather refused become dependent on the government. When the government came out with commodities, people would stand in line for hours to get a few cans of Spam, pork, beef, some flour and powdered milk. I wanted to get some, but my grandfather said, “Are you sick or hurt? No, you are healthy! You let the people that can't work have that.” I said, “But it's free for every one.” My grandfather sat me down and said. “ No, nothing is free. The government has to tax us the people in order to give away any free food or service.” You hear the politicians say “jobs that Americans won't do.” Well, Americans were working until dood stamps came along. Then about half of them became disable "lazy and useless" collecting disability from a fund they contributed nothing to and having babies that we tax payers support! The government will force us to pay taxes, so they can support lazy Americans and illegal aliens. The government pays for nothing. Working taxpayers pay for everything and I mean everything. So you see, we work for a living while other people vote Democrat for a living. Hell, I think you know someone who sells food stamps -$2 for $1 - then they go out and buy weed. We need to drain the swamp here in Arizona. You can take that to the bank!! PS: Back then, we didn't have homeless people. We had some homes that were old, some leaked when it rained and others didn't have electricity but we had a roof over our heads. Then the government said the houses were not fit to live in and to tear them down - making people live in the streets and called it progress!! That is how your politicians take care of you. They know that you are better off homeless then living in an old house!

Arizona Town Crier Jim Ely: From 8-3-17 Briefs:  “Bill-O’Reilly’s Latest Tweet On John McCain Going Viral -- Moments after John McCain delivered the final blow to the ObamaCare “skinny repeal”, Bill O’Reilly took to Twitter to express his discontent with the long term Senator. “I’ve known Sen. McCain for decades & respect him. But on a bill that would’ve diminished the failure of Obamacare, he let his country down”, said O’Reilly. His tweet had over 14,000 likes in less than 4 hours after being posted.

LEADERS: Successful businessmen are there because they have the ability to make the right decisions.  Military leaders are there because they have proven they have the ability to make the right decisions and are selected for promotion.  Political leaders?  Party chairmen and legislators;  some are elected because of a proven background of service to their constituents, while others, especially first termers, get elected based on the impression that voters have perceived.  Either way, in our system of government the elected obtained the position through the will of the majority.  In McCain’s case, who is to blame?  Normally people are true to their nature.  So, if one doesn’t like McCain’s decision, how can we blame him?  Do we blame the voters of the Republican party in Arizona, or the leadership of the AZ GOP, or who ? Put 2 and 2 together.  Senator McCain never obtained his position by force, nor illegal actions - as far as that goes. However, Senator McCain was censored in a formal session by the State Committeemen, yet Senator McCain won Re-Election! What does that tell you about the Republican party leadership in Arizona? Does whatever the AZ GOP leadership did, fit one’s definition of leadership?  Consider,if the AZ GOP leadership had of supported the State Committeemen, would McCain been re-elected?  (Only the Shadow knows). Years ago the County Chairs turned over the running of the AZ GOP to one person, and today we are feeling the effect of the laid back attitude of our county leaders.  Just remember, people deserve the government that they elect! There is a movement to recall Chairman Lines going on right now, as well as an effort to update the AZ GOP bylaws.  To thine ownself be true! Side note! ATTENTIONITIS! Look at the attention Senator McCain got with his vote!

LD21 PC Randy Miller In Response To Brian Reilly’s letter regarding Sheriff Joe’s conviction: I take issue with your misrepresentation of constitutional facts. You said: “The most damaging information to come out of the recent Arpaio criminal trial was the series of Arpaio videos, shown in court Exhibit 37. Mr. Morrissey, you state that Arpaio “did not back down.” In court Exhibit 37D, Arpaio stated, according to my notes taken in court, “I will never give in to the control of the federal government.” In my opinion, that Arpaio mindset ultimately led to Arpaio’s guilty finding by the court. An appeal will be unsuccessful.” 8-3-17 Briefs

    You’re saying that Arpaio’s refusal to let the federal government dictate to him is his guilt? Really? Please read Article I section 8 of the Constitution. These are the LIMITATIONS ON GOVERNMENT, or their discrete enumerated powers (Delegated). The U.S. Supreme court said in on June, 27, 1997, in Mack vs. the U.S., that “state legislators are not subject to federal direction.” Tell me, if legislators are not held to federal direction, then how can the constitutionally highest-ranking law enforcement officer of the county be subjected to federal jurisdiction in a sovereign state? Elected sheriffs are accountable directly to the constitutionof their state, the United States Constitution, statutes, and the citizens of their county. They are not accountable to the federal government! The federal government is accountable to us and they failed to enforce the law they are mandated to as one of their delegated powers.

    The federal government has violated the constitution under Obama by deliberately NOT protecting the states from invasion with a porous border allowing Islamist Jihadist, South American Gang members, Mexican Gang Cartels, etc. in our borders and then giving orders for Border Patrol Agents to violate their oath and release without question those they apprehend! I blame all of them for this, border patrol agents and all other federal officers that fail to uphold the law because they “are following orders”. Nobody is compelled to follow illegal orders! You should know this as a PC. So, who is it that is supposed to intercede on the peoples’ behalf if not the sheriff and the legislators?

    Arpaio may have been failing to “follow the courts directive” and handled himself poorly while attempting to investigate the validity of those he has reason to believe are not here legally, but the sheriff is not bound by federal direction. The sheriff doesn’t have to and should not stop enforcing the law because a president’s administrative agency tells him to. I would hope you would agree with this. I also hope Sheriff Penzone understands this. You are not correct if you believe this is the basis for his guilt and why he should lose in an appeal, for this would be tyranny, being threatened with imprisonment for failing to comply with unlawful orders.

LD 6 Capt/State Committeman Jacqueline Leslie in response to LD 22 State Committeeman Lori Hack: Interesting that this person has deflected and politically spun  my original post. This is a Saul Alinsky tactic . But coming from a woman who wanted to unbind our Arizona delegates at the Republican National Convention to back Ted Cruz instead of Donald Trump, lack of integrity should come as no surprise. gop-chairman-scolds-delegate-who-wont-support-trump.  I'm totally indignant that you have suggested I’m a supporter of Jeff Flake. And because I have submitted an article about Kelli Ward you state I voted/supported Alex Meluskey.  How do you know that, did you receive my ballot?  I'm a staunch conservative who believes in people being truthful about what they publish. I’m sick and tired of people being lied to for the sake of monetary gain and the truth has never hurt anyone but the liar. So let’s try this again shall we?

   Remington Research conducted a poll on 11/16/16 where the 3rd question was, if the Republican Primary candidates were Jeff Flake, Kelli Ward and Jeff DeWit for whom would you vote. The response was DeWit 38%, Flake 30%, Ward 15%, and undecided 17%.remington-research-group

   According to Ward’s poll on 7/21/17 in a four way senate race the votes would be as follows: Ward 30%, Flake 19%, DeWit 5%, Graham 2% and undecided 44%. DeWit went from 38% in 11/16 down to 5% in 7/17?  polling-shows-ward-surging-against-flake This makes absolutely no sense since he has done an exceptional job as state treasurer and was highly regarded as Donald Trump’s COO/CFO.

   And here is a quote from Dustin Stockman regarding their poll. “The other big thing we got from this survey is that, despite media rumors, Jeff DeWit and Robert Graham are basically unknown with Republican Primary voters,” Stockton continued. “These numbers make it clear that we’re the only campaign with a credible path for Republicans to hold Flake’s seat.”

   And about Jeff DeWit being an unknown. Besides being the COO/CFO for Donald Trump’s campaign and being on national TV regularly he received more votes in his election than any other politician in Arizona history.  1,063,472 votes to be exact. treasurer-dewit. So again I state the Ward campaign has some serious explaining to do.

Maricopa County Chairman Chris Herring Response to Randy Miller’s comments in 8-3-17 Briefs :  Randy, as a PC in my LD you have my number and email address. I've always been available to speak with you. I'm disappointed you're voicing your concerns on a website instead of just talking to me. Now regarding your reference to the Sonoran Alliance article “My Concerns with Jim O'Conner”. It was a Facebook post. Sonoran Alliance chose to copy it and publish it, as did someone or ones chose to print it and mail it out. I had no hand in either action. As to the contents of the letter I stand by them but hold no ill will towards Jim. I met with Jim last month and we went line by line through the letter so we could both be on the same page as to why I had those concerns. We both agreed the greater good of the Republican Party and electing Republicans was more important than any past disagreements. Case and point, we disagree on the recall effort. Jim was honest that he would support a recall and I was honest that I do not. We both gave our reasons and listened to the other. Disagreeing on this issue doesn't stop us for finding common ground on other issues. But here are some questions I have for you, and all the other recall organizers.

    1. If the recall is about Jonathan, and not just being upset about seats that were not won by the O'Conner slate then why ask to recall the 1st and 2nd Vice chair? I've heard absolutely no reason given why they would be recalled, but supposedly they will be up for a recall because...?

    2. Marianne stated she began her recall efforts March 3rd. Just a few weeks into the term of the chair and 1st vice chair. Almost none of the causes given for a recall had transpired at that point. As the organizers state, they simply wanted a recall, even if they had no cause.

    I don't support efforts to obstruct the Republican Party. I don't support efforts that will cost us seats in the Arizona Legislature in 2018. I support working with any Republican who will advance the party platform and help us elect Republicans who will do the same.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on West Virginia Governor Jim Justice joining the Republican Party: "Governor Justice’s party switch is another blow to a Democratic Party that would rather obstruct than work to make our country great again," said Chairwoman McDaniel.  "Across America, voters have put their faith in the Republican Party because we are the Party fighting to give every individual the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. With only 15 governorships and control of the fewest state legislatures in history, Governor Justice’s announcement is just the latest rejection of a party that is leaderless from top to bottom and unable to find a positive, unifying message. While Democrats continue to put politics before the American people, Republicans are working with President Trump to lead America towards a future with fewer burdensome regulations, greater economic stability, and stronger national security. Governor Justice, welcome back to the Republican Party."

Republican Briefs

Editor’s Note: Several readers have asked why the Removal of AZGOP Chairman Jonathan Lines petition includes the removal of the First and Second Vice Chairman as well… so Briefs asked Removall petition spokesman Marianne Ferrari for an explanation. Her response:

      If we remove only Lines, the 1st vice chair becomes chair and all will remain exactly the same: Matthew Kenney will remain executive director. The donors will still be in charge, via McCain, who will still have full control over the party. Same with the 2nd vice chair. They were both on the Lines slate. In essence, all this work we are doing, all this effort, will have been for naught. But, worse, the party will be placed in a strange limbo. Here's why: The bylaws say that if you remove the chair, the 1st vice chair rises to chair and must immediately call a Special Meeting to elect a new chair, 45 days hence.

     That will take us to November 14th, which is less than 90 days from the MandatoryMeeting. According to the bylaws, if it is less than 90 days, we have to hold that election at the Mandatory Meeting in late January. So, the party would continue in the hands of Matthew Kenney for all that time—Mathew Kenney, an un-elected, unaccountable former PAC fundraiser whose ascent to that office was insisted upon by equally un-elected and unaccountable donors who probably don’t live in Arizona.I’ll wager that 1st vice chair Parralee Schneider, the newly ascended temporary chairman, would probably never need to enter the 24th St. HQ building. McCain would continue to rule the affairs of our party, as would the donors.

     Seeing the outline of that outcome, our purpose in removing all three officers becomes clear. While we are fully cognizant of Lines' breaches of the By-laws, Lines himself is not the core reason for the special meeting to remove. From our point of view, he is one part of a horrendous whole that is strangling the Republican party of Arizona. We care about the direction of the party, which has been downward under Robert Graham, and increasingly so, under Lines. You can’t argue with statistics. The decline must be turned around, if the party and the conservative majority in Arizona are to survive. The obvious fix is a change in the leadership, and, even before questions of malfeasance. I do believe that our AZ party is declining because of the policies of these people. But we have zero obligation to prove that, per the By-laws. We just need to vote to remove them, the only way to reclaim the Arizona GOP. the-case-for-removal-part-3; why-remove-all-3-top-elected-officers

LD21 PC Randy Miller: There was a letter in Republican Briefs yesterday 8-4-17-Briefs that really got me going.  Do I believe it was time for Arpaio to go, yes but not because he wouldn't listen to the administration's order to stand down on immigration checks.  This is separate from the court order.  The order he violated was based on how he was doing it.

Former Graham County Sheriff Richard Mack: Arpaio or any other sheriff is not "subject to federal direction." I told him this several times, but he could not get his attorneys to listen to it. I told him to challenge jurisdiction but they also failed to do that. Now it's all rather moot as he could never repeat the behavior; he will never be sheriff again. Bottom line, a federal judge has no authority to tell a sheriff how he must do his job. If Joe had committed a felony then he could be summoned to an AZ court, but it is none of the feds' business. Editor’s Note: Mack is the founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officer (CSPOA)

LD22 PC Captain and SC Lori Hack responds to Clair Van Steenwyk8-4-17-Briefs: Please, no sour grapes from you - I am really not interested. You are a career political candidate that Arizonans continue to reject at every turn. Further, Dr. www.KelliWard.com is a formidable and credible candidate to fire FakeFlake from office in 2018. Learn to see the truth and help good people win.

LD22 PC Captain And SC Lori Hack Responds To Jacqueline Leslie :  My original response on 8-3-17 Briefs remains - I have no further comment.  As for the delegate process, you might want to do your homework and see how it actually worked at the time before making false accusations and acting as though you know the process.  Real Republicans aren't that gullible!  Have a blessed day.

LD21PC Randy Miller Response (Last) To Chris Herring: Chris, you ask why I didn’t call to discuss your public comments designed to influence the outcome on a yet to be decided election, as a newly elected County Chairman. I did this for the same reason you chose not to call me or your friends on Facebook and post you disdain about a party candidate for state chairman. I wanted to reach a large audience that has an interest in what is going on. As far as it being published and printed from Facebook, what did you think was going to happen since you held title of “County Chairman”? Doesn’t matter since you “stand by” what you said. That’s all you need to say rather than get off subject about the current recall efforts, my letter wasn’t concerning this, it was about character of office and of the man based on “out of the box” behavior. As far as “not disrupting the Republican Party”, there are many of us who think the party needs disruption because they are imploding and those that don’t see it or want to hide it - then tell us “there is nothing to see here move on” are part of the problem. This is also a contradiction to your interjection during an ongoing election and your desire to “Not disrupt”. I thank you for answering my question.

LD11 PC Jill Henderson Responding To LD22 PC Clair Van Steenwyk8-4-17-Briefs: I find it hilarious that perennial candidate Van Steenwyk is attempting to give anyone advice on running a campaign, after all, as SeeingRedAZ explains in Perennial candidate Van Steenwyk aids McCain, "Though Clair Van Steenwyk engenders little support and wins even fewer votes, the narcissistic 70-year-old retiree who held a variety of unrelated jobs during his younger years, is much like a spoiled child craving attention. He struts and prances saying little of consequence, but clearly relishing his serial moments in the political spotlight."
     And
Van Steenwyk: Political ambition knows no bounds 6/7/16... "The Sun City West resident known as Van the Radio Man wears a lot of hats. He is renown for his colossal ego and as a dedicated vote splitting spoiler on behalf of John McCain. He is also known as a perennial candidate who has never won a single race he’s entered."
Furthermore, "Van the Radio Man" claiming in
8-4-17 Briefs that "we all know that McCain received 51% to Ward's 36%" is incorrect. In fact, despite 2 spoiler candidates in the race, she received 39.9% of the vote compared to Van's laughable 3.6%. (see: Primary/ElectionInformation

Former LD22 PC Brian Reilly: In 8-4-17 Briefs LD 21 PC Randy Miller asked: “You’re saying that Arpaio’s refusal to let the federal government dictate to him is his guilt? Really?“What I wrote, Court Exhibit 37, the series of Arpaio videos, clearly show Arpaio’s mindset that apparently led to Sheriff Arpaio’s failure to comply, for nearly 18 months, with a federal court ordered injunction not to detain or arrest individuals without probable cause that they had committed a crime. Arpaio’s guilt was found in his intentional failure to comply with a legitimate federal court order, which originally resulted from Arpaio’s apparent failure to follow the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution regarding detaining people without probable cause. To quote an excerpt of Judge Bolton’sFindings of Fact and Conclusions of Law (linked below): “The evidence at trial proves beyond a reasonable doubt and the Court finds that Judge Snow issued a clear and definite order enjoining Defendant from detaining persons for further investigation without reasonable suspicion that a crime has been or is being committed….Because the court finds that the Defendant willfully violated an order of the court, it finds Defendant guilty of criminal contempt.” Randy, I would hope that you respect the constitutional rights of people who are illegally detained without probable cause that a crime has been or is being committed. The color of one’s skin, in and of itself, is not probable cause to detain or arrest any individual. And for the record, Arpaio finally did comply with the order, albeit too late: On May 28, 2013, the MCSO issued the following: “By order of Sheriff Arpaio, effective immediately, no MCSO personnel shall detain any person…unless probable cause to arrest or detain exists under Arizona criminal law.” (Govt. Exhibit 46). Apparently, Arpaio thought the court's order was lawful. Arpaio-Criminal-Contempt-Verdict

LD24 PC Tristan Manos"sharing more observations of AZdotGOP, ‘The Only Official Website of the Arizona Republican Party!’... a reflection of the present AZGOP (and MCRC) administrations, these observations emphasizing the importance of maintaining good Internet presence. Going by AZdotGOP, guess how many AZGOP County and LD websites are: 1) Established and 2) Up and Running?”

     · Of the 15 Arizona Counties, only 10 Websites are Established, Up and Running: Cochise   Coconino   Gila   Graham   Maricopa   MohaveNavajo   Pima   Yavapai   Yuma (Note: I called it to the attention of the MCRC Chairman that the AZ.GOP website was providing a broken link to the MCRC’s own official website, and good to see it’s fixed now.)

     · 5 County Websites are Missing: Apache    Greenlee    La Paz    Santa Cruz

     · 1 County Website is Down: Pinal

             · Of the 27 Arizona LDs, only 9 Websites are Established, Up and Running: LD1   LD12   LD17(down)   LD18   LD21   LD23   LD25   LD26 (website link missing at AZ.GOP) LD27   LD28LD30(down)

            · 10 Arizona LD Websites are Missing: LD3 LD4(Maricopa)   LD4(Pima)   LD9   LD11   LD13   LD14   LD15   LD16   LD19

             · 6 Arizona LD Websites are Down: LD2   LD10   LD20   LD22   LD24   LD29

     “Remarkably, those last 6 websites above (LDs 2, 10, 20, 22, 24, 29) share the domain name arizonagop.net. As one story goes, these websites were/are sponsored (paid for) by the AZGOP. Maybe, the AZGOP paid/pay for some County and LD websites, but other Counties and LDs were/are responsible for paying their own way? I used to run the LD24 website. It's been down for over 1 month. I emailed the AZGOP about this (and the other arizonagop.net websites). As per the AZGOP, it's working on resolving the matter. 1 month later, these websites are still down (after 6 months in office). Also, given the scale of the MCRC, imagining it's important the MCRC Chairman see to it all MCRC LDs' websites are: 1) established and 2) up and running. Likewise, imagining all missing LDs (and Counties) commit to a "whatever it takes" attitude to get their own websites established and keep them up and running." Contact: tristanmanos2@gmail.com

Former Maricopa County Treasure Charles “Hos” Hoskins: I was impressed with Nancy Russell Plencner's insight expressed in the 8-4-17 Briefs. Here is something I wrote many years ago that I referred to often when I was the Maricopa County Treasurer - With over 40 years of public service I have realized that citizens have certain expectations of government. I think most would fall within these five broad categories; SERVICE, INTEGRITY, EFFICIENCY, HARMONY, and ACCOUNTABILITY.

   · SERVICE: First, and foremost, they expect government to provide specific services ranging from security to recreation. And, they want government to deliver these services seamlessly and without any inconvenience. Basic Services they expect are:

       1. Security – Keep everyone safe and healthy

       2. Education – Provide equal opportunity for success

       3. Infrastructure – Make everything work as intended

       4. Economy – Provide stability and predictability

       5. Recreation – Facilities for enjoyment of leisure time

   · INTEGRITY: They expect elected officials, appointed bureaucrats, and hired employees to do what is right, and not try to further their own agendas, ambitions, or beliefs. They strongly resent any type of self-enrichment be it a penny in your pocket to taking a paper clip home for personal use.

   · EFFICIENCY: Citizens expect to receive a full return of their tax dollars and used only for the purposes intended. Don’t insult their intelligence by telling them that you can be more effective if you have a fancy office, or that you can better meet their expectations by riding a camel across the Sahara Desert on their dime.

·    HARMONY: They expect us to work together for the common good and act in the best interest of those they serve. They strongly resent spending their tax dollars on attorneys to fight each other, lobbyist to twist arms, or information officers to discredit each other. They are especially impatient with those that conduct themselves based upon their own opinions, ideals, ambition, politics, vengefulness, or anything else that is unrelated to the issues.

    · ACCOUNTABILITY: They want to be able to monitor everything government does and expect total transparency.

I believe that the citizens of Arizona are realistic and do not expect perfection in government (if they did they would have to find another species to run it), but they certainly expect everyone to make an honest effort to be fair and do what is right.

Former AZ PC Wayne Blair: Has anyone noticed, or do we even give a crap, that a modern day Coup d`etat is taking place in the United States.  Robert Mueller and his coven of henchmen, are all devoted Democrats and former allies and employees of the Clinton's, Schumer, etc. The U.S. Senate has named him the special prosecutor in their attempt to usurp the will of the voters. This bloodless Coup is being fueled by the likes of CNN, NBC, CBS, The New York Times (And their ilk), and by the extreme left Associated Press. This bloodless Coup is being fed every day by some leak or some other Democrat appointee, the latest being a bill being introduced in the U.S. Senate (Backed by both the Republicans and Democrats) to prevent the President from firing the completely biased Mueller. The people in this country should be outraged at this joint Coup and start calling their representatives to demand that they stop their Venezuela tactics to take over OUR government. Coup d`etat:  Noun:  "A sudden and decisive action in politics, especially one resulting in a change of government illegal or by force" [sic} (Or by the press and Congress?)

PC Clair Van Steenwyk: Sorry I rechecked the numbers and Ward got 39, McCain 51, Meluskey 6, me 4 all rounded, 8-4-17 Briefs but still not what her pollster predicted as the big money expected didn't appear for her then and don't believe it will in 18 as well, however I don't believe I'm calling anyone names as for me that's a sinking political strategy mostly reserved for Dems and RINOs.

LD6 P.C. Captain StateCommitteman Jacqueline Leslie in response to Lori Hacks lecture: From the demeanor of your response, I realize that your sense of imperialism is far beyond reason. 8-5-17-Briefs Being a person above everyone else I can understand that you do not have to bother with the truth. Your insulting cutting ways proves beyond any doubt your superficial superiority is total arrogance and not knowledge.  Since you have no facts to support your stand you obfuscate, deflect and attack the messenger.  Sorry, your Alinsky tactics don't bring the ring of truth.  The reason you or the Ward campaign have not responded to the article and instead criticized me is neither can defend the article.  It seems that there is a lot more that will be uncovered as time goes on even with you.

Brian Reilly, Former LD22PC: On 8-5-17 BriefsRandy Miller wrote, “The order [Joe Arpaio] violated was based on how he was doing it.” There were two parts. First, Arpaio was found guilty of intentionally ignoring a federal court ordered injunction, for 18 months, not to arrest or detain people, without probable cause or reasonable suspicion that a crime had been or was being committed. Secondly, there was no prohibition against the MCSO from making arrests or detaining individuals so long as there was probable cause, that a crime had been committed, as required by the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The court ordered injunction was intended to get the MCSO to operate in compliance with the U.S. Constitution. As conservative Republicans, I would think that we all would want our elected leaders to comply with the Supreme Law of the Land. Complying with the 4th Amendment is basic Law Enforcement, 101. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Former Sheriff Mack wrote on 8-5-17 Briefs: “Bottom line, a federal judge has no authority to tell a sheriff how he must do his job.” I respectfully disagree. If a sheriff is violating the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a federal court has the judicial power to intervene. Article III., Sec. 2., “The judicial Power [of the United States] shall extend to all cases, in Law and Equity,arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made under their Authority;…”  We agree. Joe Arpaio will never be sheriff again.

Republican Briefs

Cochise County Bruce M Piepho PC and State Committeeman: There is a revolution taking place in the Arizona Republican State Party.  The swamp in Washington D.C. has drifted West to Arizona.  The swamp in Phoenix is drowning the AZGOP and needs - no must be drained. Our state party belongs to the establishment elites.  Johnathan Lines was elected, January 2017, as AZGOP Chairman by 34 votes.  Hundreds of proxies were carried by a few State Committeemen at that meeting.  Lines hired as Executive Director of AZGOP, Matthew Kenney.  Kenney was the Arizona Grassroots PAC director funded by Senator John McCain.  Kenney was the main activist to purge the McCain detested Tea Party and conservatives from the Arizona State Party.  Interestingly McCain has an Institute similar to the Clinton Foundation.  The McCain Institute accepts donations from the likes of George Soros. Why did McCain want to do the purging?  Because he was pissed off about being censored.  McCain came to Sierra Vista for a Town Hall in the city council chambers.  Many military vets were there.  McCain disgustingly argued with them as to why they had entered military service.  And WE are letting him run the AZGOP? The Arizona State Republican party no longer belongs to the people of Arizona.  RISE up Precinct Committeemen/women and take the AZ state Republican party back.  PCs get your state committeemen/women to sign the recall special meeting petition.

LD24 PC Tristan Manos: Follow-up to 8-6-17-Briefs post going over the status of the AZGOP's  website (and the AZGOP's County and LD websites: LD16 Chairman Jerry Clingman has informed me there's an LD16 website that’s been up and running for some time. Good news. Good to see. Thank you, Jerry. Sometimes, that's what one gets for ("only") going to AZdotGOP to get good information. I even googled "LD16 Republican, LD16 Arizona, LD16 Maricopa, LD16 GOP" and struck out (even though the LD16 Facebook page popped up). As a general rule, it's good to see the website among the 1st hits when googling around. Websites are open to all on the Internet. Facebook is, for the most part, only open to members of Facebook, and members who are actually signed into Facebook at the time. It goes to show how important it is for the AZGOP to get things right at its website. If there's any information in that post about the AZGOP's website status (and County and LD website status) to be revised, updated, and so on, it's good to get it to the AZGOP directly. Please feel free to email it to me also. Contact: tristanmanos2@gmail.com

Warren Woodward of Sedona: The multi-award winning full-length documentary, Take Back Your Power, has been updated for 2017. Producer Josh del Sol, in conjunction with Dr. Joseph Mercola, has made it available for viewing free all this week (through 8/11) at Mercola's website. If you've not seen this "smart" meter exposé before, I highly recommend it. Watch for free here: smart-meter-dangers Once at the above linked article, some people have gotten confused because it looks sort of like you have to buy it. Not so. The video is actually embedded in the article. Just click on the red & white start arrow at the lower left corner of the screen to start watching. By the way, the opening scene is not a recreation by actors. It is actual footage from the Maine Supreme Court.

Activist Lolly Hathhorn: “It seems that so many insults flying back and forth between the SCs, that it would cause everyone to pause and  that ‘United We Stand’ would be a good thing to remember.  Why not stick to the issue of recalling Mr. Lines and stop trying to eat each other up.  Get the job done and stop the bickering since it does no good and is a waste of time and energy.  Do what is right for the Party.  Get rid of the RINO population and get the conservatives to unite so that the work will get done and we can keep conservatives in.  I applaud the people involved in the recall and wish them VICTORY!  Let’s make Arizona Great Again.

Tom Morrissey Past Chairman AZ GOP: How many times can a man be wrong? Well in Former LD 22 PC Brian Reilly's case, just about every time he opens his mouth.  Now he is calling himself a Conservative (?) and saying that we should all act according to his perception regarding Joe Arpaio.  Really Reilly?  You can't let a day go by where you are not writing something so offensive about him that it is turning off even some members of the Republican Party Establishment Ruling Class.  Maybe it's because you are starting to expose what they actually are, supporters of open borders.  That's what this is all about. Former LD 22 PC Brian Reilly you are incorporating in your now daily rants, Randy Miller, who has the audacity to disagree with you on the Arpaio matter.  You cite the Constitution in your diatribe as you ramble on about the horrors of the MCSO under Arpaio while you conveniently leave out the fact that the crime rate in Maricopa County declined dramatically under Sheriff Arpaio, when he was allowed to do the job he was elected to do. Then you weave another great patriot, Sheriff Richard Mack into the mix of your criticisms as you chastise him for standing against the Elitist machine you seem to be so ardently in support of. What have you done that could even come close to what Sheriffs Mack and Arpaio have done in cause of protecting "WE the people"?  You seem to have a problem with those of us who have had careers of protecting the public as peace officers. As I said, how many times can one man be wrong? Whatever amount it is, we can add one more to your list and it is your statement that Joe Arpaio will never be Sheriff again. In the words of Ian Fleming - "Never say never".

To Former LD22 PC Brian Reilly From LD21 PC Randy Miller: You have completely missed the point, I think, due to your personally fueled hatred towards Joe Arpaio.  Who else would spend almost every day in court for hours at a time court  session doing selective note taking?  Then you emailed just about everyone you found with a foaming at the mouth frenzy, including me. No one is disagreeing with you about the 4th Amendment and protecting our rights from bad law enforcement so why you got of task is puzzling.  Please pay attention to the issue, you said, the most damaging information to come out of the trial was, in your opinion: “that Arpaio mindset” that Joe’s statement was “I will never give in to the control of the federal government.”  You said that you believe this to be why he lost and this is the reason he will not win an appeal. So in your own words, you didn't put emphasis on his violating constitutional rights as why he lost, so please rethink your grandstanding.

   My disagreement with you as I pointed out in my post was your position on the sheriff and the federal government.  The sheriff should not and is not compelled to follow the directives of the federal government!  A federal agency cannot dictate to the sheriff, a legislator, or the state what they will or will not do if it is not one of their constitutionally mandated/authorized powers.  Your statement says otherwise.  This is important and why I needed to say something. The states wrote the constitution as a compact between the states and maintained control of those rights and powers not specifically granted to the federal government!  We created the federal government to do things on our behalf.  You don’t hire a gardener to trim your plants and then allow them to dictate to you how to do your finances, or do you?  Your statement gives all that away, something YOU don’t have the authority to do.

A Week After An Attempt To Repeal The Affordable Care Act Failed, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he'd consider a bipartisan effort to continue payments to insurers to avert a costly rattling of health insurance markets. McConnell told reporters Saturday there is "still a chance" the Senate could revive the measure to repeal and replace "Obamacare," but he acknowledged the window for that is rapidly closing. The Kentucky senator noted Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee is working on "some kind of bipartisan approach" that would involve subsidies for insurance companies. Read More Here

Congressman Trent Franks: America is $20 trillion in debt and approaching a sovereign debt crisis. We seem helpless to step back from the brink of socialized medicine. The federal bureaucracy is out of control. The very foundations of the nation continue to be stained by the blood of over a million of its own preborn children every year. The leading sponsor of terrorism in the world is on track to legally gain nuclear weapons. Our military and the nation's place in the world in general have been devastated by the Obama years. Is preserving a tyranny that, when voting on a bill, the minority in the Senate is empowered to obstruct the combined will of a majority in the House, a majority in the Senate, the President of the United States and a national election, is more important than our desperate need and ability as a nation to address these critical issues when now may be the only chance we ever have? Really?? Sen. Mitch McConnell...Please...for the sake of this and future American generations..... Tear down this wall!...

LD26 Precinct Committeeman Nancy Jenkins: I am one of those Republicans scratching their heads over this alleged poll data that the Ward campaign is touting. I agree whole heartedly with Jacque Leslie's assessment of the following: Remington Research conducted a poll on 11/16/16 where the 3rd question was, if the Republican Primary candidates were Jeff Flake, Kelli Ward and Jeff DeWit for whom would you vote. The response was DeWit 38% , Flake 30%, Ward 15% undecided 17%.According to Ward’s poll on 7/21/17 in a four way senate race the votes would be as follows: Ward 30%, Flake 19%, DeWit 5% , Graham 2% and undecided 44%. DeWit went from 38% in 11/16 down to 5% in 7/17? This makes absolutely no sense since he has done an exceptional job as state treasurer and was highly regarded as Donald Trump’s COO/CFO.polls/remington-research-groupward-surging-against-flake

   And here is a quote from Dustin Stockman regarding their poll : “The other big thing we got from this survey is that, despite media rumors, Jeff DeWit and Robert Graham are basically unknown with Republican Primary voters,” Stockton continued. “These numbers make it clear that we’re the only campaign with a credible path for Republicans to hold Flake’s seat.”

   And about Jeff DeWit being an unknown. Besides being the COO/CFO for Donald Trump’s campaign and being on national TV regularly he received more votes in his election than any other politician in Arizona history. 1,063,472 votes to be exact. treasurer-dewit Why isn’t the Ward campaign addressing this? They certainly spend plenty of time posting all over social media so why do they choose not to respond. My guess is they think over time we will forget but we won’t. True conservatives in our state certainly want to see Flake get replaced but not with someone who is scamming the voters to raise money for their campaign. Arizona deserves a better candidate!

Activist Andrea Kadar, Sedona: Did you know that our beautiful state of Arizona has a terrible human trafficking problem? Did you know that Arizona law enforcement is dealing with bothlabor and sex trafficking of minorsall over our state? Did you know that there is a demand for sex with minors even in our rural counties? Did you also know that buyers all over Arizona are searching ads, every day, on certain websites looking to “hook up” with young girls and boys whose pimps/traffickers are advertising their services against their will? The Coalition Against Human Trafficking, Northern Arizona, has been speaking at Republican meetings all over Sedona, Cottonwood, Payson, Showlow/Snowflake, and Flagstaff about this issue and we want to speak at your Republican meetings in central and southern Arizona in 2017/2018. When we speak to your club, we bring local law enforcement with us to broaden this important conversation. We are determined to make Arizona a “fly over” zone for traffickers, facilitators and buyers; we have every intent on protecting our Arizona children and our families. Join us to stop trafficking by scheduling a speaker: call or email Andrea Kadar, Sedona, at 281-682-8743(cell) or andreakadar7@yahoo.com

Activist Nancy Russell Plencner: Wondered if you could provide a good email and phone # for each of our R delegation.  Every time I have tried to call the phones ring and ring, if I get a recording it is to say the mailbox is full.  The emails I get from McCain and Flake can never be responded to.  I spoke personally to David Swiekert - last year we are his constituents and members of the Ftn. Hills Republican Club - and asked to be placed on his information/communication list. Gave him my card with email and mailing address and have never heard a word from his office.  Editor’s Note: Goggle the delegate member you wish to reach, click on their “contact us” tab to send an e-mail to them.

Gary Kiehne, A Former Arizona Congressional Candidate: Even without a calendar, you’d know its election time by the sudden reappearance of Senator Jeff Flake within the state’s borders and on television. His handlers have clearly decided the way to sell Flake to Arizona as a conservative is to rebrand him as Senator Barry Goldwater, even brazenly stealing the title of Goldwater’s iconic book, “The Conscience of a Conservative.” But Flake is no Goldwater. When Flake refers to Arizonans as “nativists” and “protectionists” because we believe in sane immigration and trade policies, he is using “fightin’ words”!

   What is wrong with calling illegal immigrants, illegal immigrants? What is wrong with basing our immigration policies on what is best for America, rather than what is best for the Third Worlds impoverished masses that all want to come here? (Some seeking paradise and a brighter future, others a government handout.) What is wrong with advocating America-first trade policies, rather than tolerating one-sided trade deals that suck money out of our economy and yank jobs from our shores? Is it really “protectionist” to show spine when advocating for the people whose interests you are elected to represent? The late Senator Barry Goldwater was not a “globalist.” He was an America-first patriot.

   In his new book, Flake says, “if we’re going to be a governing party in the future, and a majority party” we need to change our approach (to his own brand of Republicanism.) I might point out to the Senator that we already are the majority party now! As an unofficial member of the Senate’s “Surrender Caucus,” he has become so accustomed to surrendering before a battle is fought that he should probably be forgiven for not recognizing we hold the majority. And when he does pick a battle it is within his own party, namely with President Trump. As a member of the Senate’s “Gang of Eight” he honestly believed that if we gave the Democrats everything they wanted up-front in the reviled immigration bill, the Democrats would honor their word to give Republicans everything we wanted later. Much later. Really, Jeff? If you really believed that, I have some Ocean Front Property I’m dying to sell you. Senator, show me when that has happened in the last 70 years? See complete statement at fightin’ words Kiehne is a business owner, rancher, and unabashed Trump supporter.

Brian Reilly, Former LD22PC: On, 8-7-17-BriefsRandy Miller wrote: We created the federal government…” And, No one is disagreeing with you about the 4th Amendment and protecting our rights from bad law enforcement...” Randy, yes “We the People” created the Constitution for the United States and the 4th Amendment in the Bill of Rights. The 4th Amendment is my point. But, is former Sheriff Joe Arpaio in agreement with us after some 50 years in law enforcement? Here’s what Joe says “(A.)” in his 7/14/2016 deposition: Q: “But where’s the Fourth Amendment, where are you getting that from?” (A.): “It’s coming in under the federal law, the Constitution of Congress…” Q: "So is the Fourth Amendment something that Congress Passed? "(A.) “The Constitution.”  Q: "Are you sure?” (A.) “To my knowledge, it’s the Constitution, the amendments and so on.” (page 28, lines 7,9,11,13,14,15) Q: “And you used the term ‘reasonable suspicion.’ Is reasonable suspicion another way of saying ‘probable cause’?” (A.) “Not Really.” (page 30, lines 10,13)  According to Black’s Law Dictionary, the terms are synonymous. Here is the Sheriff of one of the largest law enforcement organizations in the country, struggling with the origins of the Constitution and definition of the 4th Amendment. Maricopa County is now facing $92-$100 million in costs because of Arpaio’s apparent lack of understanding of the 4th Amendment. The 4th Amendment is at the very heart of this matter. Tom Morrissey wrote: “What have you done that could even come close to what Sheriffs Mack and Arpaio have done in [the] cause of protecting "WE the people"?” Mr. Morrissey, I developed the plan for “We the People” to get Arpaio to investigate the Obama birth certificate. Arizona Secretary of State Bennett got us answers May 22, 2012. Unfortunately, Arpaio gave us theatrics until December 15, 2016. flake-v-arpaio-2016-07-14-arpaio-deposition2014/04/15/richard-mack

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich was selected as the new Chairman of the Conference of Western Attorneys General (CWAG) during the annual Summer Meeting held in San Francisco.

CWAG is a non-partisan organization comprised of attorneys general from 15 western states, three Pacific territories, and 13 associate member states. CWAG's primary function is to provide a forum for the western state attorneys general to cultivate knowledge, cooperate on subjects of mutual concern, and coordinate actions and programs which improve the quality of legal services available to CWAG members and their constituencies.

Republican National Committee (RNC) named Kayleigh McEnany as the Party’s new spokesperson. Kayleigh is a seasoned television commentator who brings years of communications and media relations experience to her new role. “Kayleigh will be an integral part of our Party’s ongoing commitment to promoting the Republican message to Americans across the country,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. “Her wealth of experience will be invaluable to the RNC as we continue to support President Trump and build on our majorities in Congress as we head into 2018.”
McEnany has years of experience developing communications strategies and key messages serving as a correspondent covering both foreign and domestic news and events. She received her Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School and graduated from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service with a BSFS in International Politics.  She also studied politics and international relations at Oxford University, St. Edmund Hall. McEnany will serve as the Party’s spokesperson on TV and radio and will be joined by a National Press Secretary and Deputy National Press Secretary.

LD22 PC/SC Lori Hack in response to LD6 Jacqueline Leslie: I love how you avoided the substantive issues I brought to your attention. I still await your adult like responses. Most honorable Republicans follow George Washington's advice:  "A good and faithful servant is never afraid, or unwilling to have his conduct looked into, but the reverse; because the more it is inspected, the brighter it shines." - George Washington, letter to Tobias Lear, Mount Vernon, June 15, 1791. Have a great week!

LD21 PC Randy Miller: This may ruffle some feathers, but it is a constitutional question.  Maybe it has already been heard, I don't know.  But it still seems to me to violate our State Constitution.

    General issue on property taxes and the Arizona Constitution - I had an interesting phone call from a nice former PC from LD 22. I don’t remember her name. We talked about many things, the first being my comments regarding education and funding. She brought up an issue that the Peoria School District had done in the 1970’s that granted “Tax Exemption” status to Sun City residents on their school property tax. This is something that both she and I agreed was not a fair or equitable situation, and one that puts a greater burden on property owners that don’t have this exclusion.

    There is also another exemption or penalty for those that are listed as “non-primary” residence. I did a little research and believe these property tax practices, regardless of how they were implemented, and either by state statute or district; I believe may be in violation of our state constitution, specifically; Article II, Section 13 of the Bill of Rights; and/or Article IV, section 19, subsection 13.

    Section 13. Equal privileges and immunities No law shall be enacted granting to any citizen, class of citizens, or corporation other than municipal, privileges or immunities which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens or corporations.

19. Local or special laws Section 19. No local or special laws shall be enacted in any of the following cases, that is to say: 13. Granting to any corporation, association, or individual, any special or exclusive privileges, immunities, or franchises.

    Now, it appears to me that Sun City, being excluded from school taxes, or having an “immunity” is in violation. Also, Article IV, Section 19, subsection 13 doesn’t allow for a local, or special law of this kind. If you are a senior, “Same Class” and you don’t live in Sun City and are paying school taxes on your property, you are not being equally treated and aren’t receiving what should belong to all citizens of this class."

Francine Romesburg: I generally don’t do this but Jim Waring is a fantastic Phoenix City Councilman.  If you came to our Tea Party meeting when Jim spoke, you would have heard just how much he knows, pays attention, and cares about the people in his districts – 2, 4, 6 & 8 in Phoenix.  Strong Conservative, strong on fiscal responsibility, and accountability and responsibility, and much more.  This is an important election in the city of Phoenix and how this turns out affects surrounding cities, how they are run, what happens, and how money is spent in each city.  What one city’s Council does affects other cities’ council.  Really does.Please Remember to Go Vote! Turn In Your Early Ballot!

Republican Briefs

Get Well Wishes To Long-Time Activist Kurt Davis, who is undergoing neck and back surgery this morning.

Karen Thomas, State Committeewoman: Some SC and perhaps others received an e-mail from a Carl Grande. Although some think that “Carl Grande” is a figment of someone’s imagination, I would like to reply to him/her/it/them. Mr. Grande concerning your recent e-mail, let me see if I’m reading you correctly. You think because Marianne Ferrari is a lesbian that she must be for gays in the military and for same sex marriage. Do I have that right? Or, oh my goodness, maybe you’re bothered because she’s from NEW YORK! or attended Northwestern University!! WOW that’s all really serious stuff! Thank you for telling us. And, then you accuse her of “attacking the conservative agenda”. Do you assume that simply because she’s gay? I just want to be really clear on all of this in case someone asks me about it. Or, maybe she’s trying to save the conservative agenda. Have you ever thought of that? Do you know Marianne, Mr. Grande? Have you talked with her about all of this? Have you told her why you are bothered? To not do so would be a bit cowardly, don’t you agree?

     Lines a successful chairman? If we felt he is doing his job, so many of us in this “merry band of misfits” wouldn’t be working to remove him. And, geez, it’s one thing to be called deplorables by Hillary but now to be called “malcontents and saboteurs” by you, a Republican! BTW, Mr. Grande, if you knew the bylaws for removing an officer, you would know that it states that no cause is required. We only need to vote. Look it up! But if you’ve been reading postings on Briefs and Arizona Freedom Alliance, you would know there are a sufficient reasons for the chairman to be removed.

     And, one last thing, there is no Carl Grande registered with the MC Elections Dept. And, for those reading Sonoran Alliance, there is no Rangel Solamente registered either. Is it possible that both are, or were, on the AZGOP payroll? And who owns Sonoran Alliance anyway? I think we would all like to know. Mr. Grande and Mr. Solamente please answer these questions. STAND UP AND BE COUNTED – Stop being cowards. -- Inquiring minds want to know!

Any Republican State Committeemen Being Harassed for signing a Remove AZGOP Chairman Jonathan Lines “call” petition should notified petition spokesman Marianne Ferarri at  advocacy@indepthcritique.comRick Hennessy is the Yavapai County contact at 928-499-9342 or rickhe1@msn.com Harassment is a Class 1 Misdemeanor, according ARS 19-116 .

Blood-CultUtah’s polygamous Kingston clan mixes incest and white supremacy with old-fashioned capitalism. When it comes to racist Sunday school lessons, the polygamous Kingston clan could teach the Ku Klux Klan a thing or two… By Stephen Lemons, former Phoenix New Times investigative reporter:

DC Insiders Say that AZGOP Chairman Jonathan Lines invitation to the White House, was just one of the 50 GOP State Chairman who have been invited to the White House. Insiders say Trump circulates the room, asking each state chairman - in the Oval Office at the moment - about their biggest upcoming race, assuring them he will do as much as possible to help red states stay red. Ah, yes, photos with the President makes for good hype on the home front --- particularly when grassroots folks are calling for removal of the state chair. – ft

To Randy Miller from Dave and Francine Romesburg: Dave & I have wondered this for a long time, ever since this ‘exemption’ was issued. 8-8-17-Briefs Glad you researched this and brought it up.  It definitely needs to be looked into further with more research done and questioned on its legal status and validity of being allowed to continue / if it has ever been legal.  Supposedly our State House / Senate has legal staff who are supposed to look into the Constitutionality of all bills that come up for discussion.  There are a lot on the books that are questionable.

Former Maricopa County Treasurer ‘Hos’ Hoskins: PC21 Randy Miller’s comments about property taxes in 8-8-17-Briefs the regarding the Sun City school tax "exemption".  Actually, it isn’t an exemption but a result of Sun City properties not being located within any school district. Sometime back in the 60’s Sun City was part of the Dysart School District. Enough Sun City residents got elected to the Dysart School Board to limit property taxes levied against their homes. Other homeowners outside of Sun City were upset with the lack of sufficient funding for their school and organized an election that redrew the boundaries that left Sun City not being within any school district. Subsequent legislation was passed to preclude this from happening with other school districts.

     As to “non-primary” residence taxes, this is the result of legislation passed about 10 years ago that makes residential properties that are not the owner’s primary residence ineligible for the State Aid Credit. The SAC is paid out of the state general fund and is applied to the primary school tax based upon a formula provided by the Department of Revenue. It has been about 40-45 percent of the total primary school tax levied against primary residential properties. Since Sun City residential properties are not in a school district and are not subject to primary school taxes they do not receive the SAC. Your primary school tax and SAC can be found on your tax bill or you can access a detailed property tax statement at: www.treasurer.maricopa.gov

Activist Stephen Sivigliano - Sen Jeff Flake must go: He is submarining not just our president, but the will of those who sent him to D.C., thinking he was a Republican. He is McCain's younger clone. We can't wait to simply replace McCain if he has to retire for medical reasons. We need someone to run to replace Flake by primarying him OUT! If McCain does resign soon, let's replace him with a true conservative, but still work to defeat his clone. There are plenty of good people to take over for both of those RINOs. Who would be my choice? Perhaps the governor might suffice, but my favorite is The Honorable Paul Gosar of District 4. He is a great Congressman and would fight for all the people of AZ, just as he is currently fighting for his district constituents and the American people. American needs more Paul Gosar’s, just as we all need more dentists (Dr. Gosar) in Congress to remove a few rotting wisdom politicians. Let's make Arizona's congressional caucus GREAT AGAIN! Un-deplorable Stephen Sivigliano of Wickenburg

Francine Romesburg: I generally don’t do this but Jim Waring is a fantastic Phoenix City Councilman.  If you came to our Tea Party meeting when Jim spoke, you would have heard just how much he knows, pays attention, and cares about the people in his districts – 2, 4, 6 & 8 in Phoenix.  Strong Conservative, strong on fiscal responsibility, and accountability and responsibility, and much more.  This is an important election in the city of Phoenix and how this turns out affects surrounding cities and how they are run, what happens, and how money is spent in each city.  What one city’s Council does effects other cities’ council.  Really does.Please Remember to Go Vote! Turn In Your Early Ballot!

Several Expected Changes to the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program at the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) are on hold pending the results of a referendum filed late today. The changes outlined in Senate Bill 1431 included an updated application for Arizona students who were not previously eligible for the program. The new legislation was passed by the State House and Senate and signed by the Governor, earlier this year. ADE and ESA staff will await further information from the Secretary of State’s Office as to the final validation of petitions related to the referendum. If the number of signatures submitted is eventually deemed insufficient, ADE will enact the changes as originally planned. If the measure is referred to the ballot, ADE will plan await the results of the election before taking any action related to Senate Bill 1431. For more information about the ESA program or the online application, parents can visit www.azed.gov/esa. The current application is available at https://esa.azed.gov/esa.

AzCDLUpdate 1: The 2017 legislative session ended on May 10.  Laws passed during a session are generally effective 90 days after adjournment.  The following pro-rights bills will become law on August 9.  You can view the status of all the bills AzCDL monitored during the session at our website's Bill Tracking page.

Pro-rights Legislation

    · HB 2216 (Rep. Paul Boyer, R-LD20) makes it unlawful to require a person to use or subject themselves to electronic firearm tracking technology, a component of "smart gun" technology that limits the operation of a firearm as well as tracking its location and logging its use.

     · SB 1122 (Sen. Gail Griffin, R-LD14) prohibits a city, town, county, or the state from requiring the search of any federal or state database as a requirement for transferring personal property, such as your firearm.  Passage of this law should help complicate efforts we expect to see requiring "universal background checks" on private firearm transfers in Arizona.

     · SB 1344 (Sen. John Kavanagh, R-LD23) is the AzCDL-requested bill that clarifies that state and local governments cannot regulate the possession of weapons by employees or contractors in or on their privately owned property or vehicles.  This bill grew out of over-zealous local governments believing they can control all aspects of an employee's or independent contractor's private life.

AzCDLUpdate 2: Ballot Measure Reforms -- The Constitution of Arizona, along with several other states, contains a provision influenced by the "Progressive" (i.e., Socialist) movement of the early 20th Century.  This provision allows for changes in state law, or even the Constitution itself, via a "citizen initiative" ballot measure bypassing the legislative process.  All that's required to put an issue on the ballot are petition signatures from a small percentage of registered voters.  Unlike other states, once a citizen initiative ballot measure is passed in Arizona it can never be overturned by the Legislature.

    Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been exploiting this weakness in state constitutions to further his drive to disarm law abiding Americans.  In 2014 he successfully used the ballot measure process to achieve gun owner registration via "universal background checks" in the state of Washington.  In 2015, the Oregon legislature accommodated Bloomberg by passing similar laws.  In 2016, a Bloomberg backed ballot measure passed in Nevada.  We expect to see a Bloomberg backed ballot measure calling for "universal background checks" in Arizona, possibly in 2018.

    This year the Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, two laws that restore integrity to Arizona's petition gathering process for ballot measures.
     HB 2244 requires strict compliance to the ballot referendum constitutional and statutory requirements.
     HB 2404 prohibits payment to petition "circulators" based on the number of signatures collected.  It also invalidates signatures collected by a paid circulator who fails to register with the Secretary of State.  New provisions have been added for challenging a ballot measure.  Apparently this new law is so threatening to those who want to take your rights away that a ballot petition has already been filed to overturn the provisions of HB 2404 in 2018.
We expect bigger challenges next year.  Those who want to disarm you, realizing that there is little chance of restricting your rights at the national level, are redoubling their efforts at the state level where they have the greatest chances to succeed.  Arizona is their number one target.  Stay alert.  Don't succumb to "Trump Sleep."

Top Trump Donor Ponies Up To Take Out FlakeRobert Mercer is donating $300,000 to a super PAC backing Kelli Ward, who is running against senator Jeff Flake in a primary next year…

Reports surfaced several days ago that Sen John McCain has chosen his long-time protégé and former Arizona Attorney Grant Woods as his replacement if McCain’s health prevents him from going back to the senate. When Briefs asked Woods yesterday if the reports were true, Woods replied, “I'm planning on John serving out his term and being there for a long time. The country needs him.”  - ft

LD20 State Committeeman Marcus Kelley answers Karen Thomas: On July 8, you asked who owns Sonoran AllianceShane Wikfors does.  He's been State Director for Arizona Right to Life, the Communications Director for the Arizona Republican Party under Tom Morrissey, a political consultant owning Red Mountain Consulting, a guest on the Arizona Sunday morning political talk shows, and my good friend since we both went to the University of Arizona in the early to mid-`90's.  Shane worked for J.D. Hayworth in his 2010 attempt to unseat McCain in the U.S. Senate.  That's not to say my friend has a flawlessly conservative track record.  He's made some curious statements regarding immigration and he worked for crypto-liberal carpetbagger Christine Jones in the 2016 CD 5 race.  He currently works for Steve Watson, the Superintendent of the Maricopa County Education Service Agency.  Shane's policy has always been to let both factions of the party post on his blog:  even when he worked for J.D., he let McCainiacs post.  Of late, he's been rather absentee with respect to SA because he's a county employee and he doesn't need to cause trouble.  I've let him know several times that his blog has turned into a platform for establishment hypocrisy and he insists that it's still his policy that he'll let anyone post.  So, I encourage ALL of you to approach Shane to get your message out to counteract the dissembling liberal "Republicans" most often posting on SA these days...or track me down because I'll help you.  Finally, please, don't attack the blog owner, attack the individual writers because they're responsible for their own words.  As a former writer for the blog, it saddens me deeply that the forces of liberalism in our Party have taken over what was once the strongest bastion of Arizona conservatism on the web.

Russell Sias, La Paz County Chairman: I am thoroughly disgusted with the cheap shots I heard yesterday about Marianne Ferrari. NONE of them, regardless of their validity, have ANYTHING to do with the intentional ignoring of our bylaws by Chairman Jonathan Lines and wrecking crew! Not a single solitary thing. Marianne may be, or may not be, any of the things of which she has been accused. BUT, I don’t care, and neither should any of the rest of us care. These allegations are totally and completely beside the point. They are silly and misguided accusations and nothing more than an effort to misdirect our PC’s, our state committeemen/women in regard to the real issues concerning the clear and obvious corruption within our party. Attempting to discredit in this manner is a typical trick utilized by those that have nefarious intentions. Far, far, better to look at the underlying intentions of those tossing out this nonsense blather than to be sidetracked by these sorts of vicious, stupid, and beside-the-point, allegations. Keep focused on the issues at hand!

LD21 PC Randy Miller responds to "Hos" Hoskins comments 8-6-17 Briefs to me on school taxes: “Thank you for the information.  I wasn't the only one that wasn't sure how all that came about.  This was helpful.”

LD22 State Committeeman Lori Hacks: During a press briefing last week, White House press secretary Sarah HuckabeeSanders declined to rule out the possibility that the president would help finance an anti-Flake primary effort.  “Sen. Flake would serve his constituents much better if he was less focused on writing a book and attacking the president" and more involved in "passing legislation,” she said."  See jeff-flake-vs -kelli-ward..

Russell Sias, La Paz County Chairman. I have been asked, several times, what my issues are with Chairman Lines. Let me try explain some of my concerns:

· First, where did Chairman Lines come up with a quarter million dollars to pay off Graham’s debt? Shouldn’t we know? Suppose, just suppose, that this huge chunk of money came from a very few donors. Why would they donate such large sums? Of course, the next question should be, what “favors” do they expect in return? I know of few people that would donate this kind of money, and EVERY ONE of them have some sort of gimmie attached. We need to know what strings are attached.

     · Second, why is Chairman Lines raising this money? According to our bylaws, we are supposed to have a finance chairman. Appointed by Chairman Lines, no less. Why is Chairman Lines doing this very important job?

     · Third, why has the bylaws committee intentionally withheld contact information within the committee itself? Being on the committee, I have repeatedly been refused access to other committee members? What’s with that? Having been on many political committees over the years, this is a first for me! Why?

     ·  Fourth, there is the issue of Chairman Lines appointing Kathie Petsas to chair this committee. Most committees have the opportunity to choose their own chairman, it usually is first on the order of business. Our bylaws give the state chairman appointive power for committee chairs to the state chairman, but not in the case of the bylaws committee. So, why did Chairman Lines appoint Petsas? As I read the bylaws, the committee themselves should be choosing their chairman.

     · Then, there is the delay in relinquishing the records to the new secretary and treasurer. This is so in violation of the bylaws!

In short, I smell a rat. I have gotten no answers to my questions, so Chairman Lines has violated the trust I placed in him to run our party. I now must strive to see he gets replaced, so we can get the answers to these and other questions that we should all be asking.

LD13PC Marsha Hill is one of two Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) delegates from Arizona  http://www.fairus.org  who are being sent to DC to encourage congressional leadership and target Senators from both parties to support Kate’s Law, The Raise Act, and to help with Anti Sanctuary laws in general. Hill is asking for accounts of damage and injury by criminal illegal aliens via drunks, drugged driving or criminal acts against you and your family, business, or work place. It is important to document these damages, she said. We need your letters as evidence of some of the harm caused by illegal aliens. E-mail your letter to marsha2018az@gmail.com by August 31, 2017. Please include your contact information, email or phone number, so the Congressional members can verify your story. “We, in AZ, certainly do not want our state (or any city) known as a Sanctuary City,” said Hill.

Mitch-McConnell-Denounces-Support-For President-Trump-‘He’s-Inexperienced’ …Mitch McConnell has not been one fighting for the American people for a very long time. This has been obvious given his extreme hate for President Trump. There needs to be more done to get this guy out of his current position considering his past behavior. He has failed at passing a repeal of Obamacare and that is simply not okay with President Donald Trump. The worst part? The fact that he has started blaming in on Trump himself. That is simply not okay. But now he has come out basically calling Trump a bad president. McConnell has come out and proven himself to be a total liar and fraud. Conservatives will not be okay with this going into the future. This man has no business being a Republican. “Now our new president has of course not been in this line of work before. And I think had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process,” McConnell said.“And so, part of the reason I think people feel like we’re underperforming is because too many artificial deadlines unrelated to the reality and the complexity of legislature may not have been fully understood.”… Editor’s Note: McConnell bumbling has been tolerated long enough. It’s time to replacement him. ft

RNC Chair To Flake: GOP Candidates Who Didn't Support Trump Lost

Chairwoman McDaniel: President Trump is Delivering on His Promises: I'm traveling the country and I'm seeing what people are saying and they support President Trump and you look at the RNC fundraising even. In small dollar contributions, we had 250,000 new small dollar donors between January and March. They're not just supporting the president, they're rallying behind him. So I think he has tremendous support among his base and I think it's a tough time right now when you have I think the media's been very unfair to the president. You have democrats obstructing him at every level, he has every obstacle in front of him and he's still going out and fighting for the American people. A million new jobs, unemployment numbers at a record low, consumer confidence at a 16-year high, I mean this is a president who is delivering on the things he promised to the American people.

Trump to Mitch McConnell: Get Back To Work! President Trump had some tough words for Mitch McConnell and other GOP lawmakers on Thursday, ordering the Senate Majority Leader to "get back to work" on repealing and replacing Obamacare and passing tax reform

RNC Chair Reprimands Jeff Flake With “Cautionary Tale”RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel takes Flake to the woodshed for anti-Trump rhetoric. AZ GOP chairman Jonathan Lines remains mute

The Chips N Salsa Show at 4 pm., Sat., Aug 12 features Marsha Hill, former Maricopa County Sheriff candidate and current F.A.I.R. representative, along with Clyde O’Briant as our Military Moment.  Co-hosting with LD 27 State Committeeman Alice Lara will be Catholic Evangelist Jesse Romero who will offer headlines and commentary from a Latino Republican perspective. Don Jorge will return next weekend. Listen online  www.CentralCityRadio.com King FM or watch Facebook Live.  They thank their Chipsters (followers) for their support. Contact alice@ChipsNSalsaShow.com.

Tom Morrissey Past Chairman AZ GOP: Just in case you don't know - there is tremendous turmoil within our AZ GOP and since this party belongs to ALL of us we have the right to be part of solving the problem and bringing this party back to a place of integrity and effectiveness.  I, for one, am not convinced that all the facts are on the table.  Going back to the Statutory Meeting last January and the election, we have had unrest and many questions that arose during and since that meeting. Many questions have been left unanswered and promises made, have not been kept.  The appointment of the Executive Director is paramount among them. Conducting the election using smart phones was very problematic and has had repercussions pertaining to its accuracy.  Having no paper trail has left many questions about it, unanswered.  Unhappiness with leadership's failure to address these questions and complaints has been the genesis of the Recall movement being led by Marianne Ferrari.  She is of course, now being attacked by the very honorable folks who support and continuously prop up that "noble" part of our party known as the Ruling Class Establishment Elite.  Until the rise of Donald Trump they have had their way with the direction of OUR party. They should be advised that their attacks on this woman will not hold water with those of us who know and support her.   Ferrariis a true conservative patriot who is standing up against what she and many more of us are troubled by. She dares to challenge the powers that be and the result of that are the attacks being launched against her. I know her to be a principled person who has been standing with those of us in the grassroots who do the work of the party every election cycle and especially during the last one that elected our Non - Establishment President Donald J Trump!

Yavapai County PC Rick Hennessey: To those who have been harassed by Carl Grande. I have been inundated by emails from whoever this person is. He has tried to twist my words. He told me that he's a friend of Robert Graham, but I know better as I am a good friend of Robert Graham. We may not always agree but we are friends. I believe Grande is a plant to derail our agenda to unseat Jonathan Lines. My suggestion: if you are contacted by Grande  - ignore him.

Activist Lynn Breyer Responds To LD20 State Committeeman Marcus Kelley: It is said that if you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.  That was my first thought when reading Marcus Kelley's response to the kerfuffle over Shane Wikfors and the posts he allows on his website, Sonoran Alliance, which has become tabloid trash.  There was a time when Wikfors, whose SA domain name is in the name of Dennis Wikfors, which is Shane by any other name, was a moderate conservative.  By that, I mean he was known to waffle and be for sale but sometimes, he came down on the right side.  That person has disappeared.  It is irrelevant what he has done in the past.  In politics, it's "what have you done for me lately."  Shane owns Sonoran Alliance and to nearly quote President Truman, the buck stops there.  He has gone to the dark side and the proof is that he has given unfettered access to all manner of miscreants.  Anyone who would post totally false accusations and engage in destruction politics are miscreants at best.  Miscreant: noun - a vicious or depraved person; villain.  Making excuses for him and those like him, as Marcus Kelley did in Briefs, is inconceivable to rational patriotsIt's like saying "the dog ate my homework."  No amount of excuses or justifications are sufficient to excuse such despicable behavior.  It's Shane's website.  What goes on there is Shane's responsibility.  When he allows all manner of creeps access to write what they want, the facts be-damned, he underwrites every word.  He alone has the power to change the password and keep these lying sacks of garbage off the site, denying them a tabloid-type post.  If they cry and whimper about being denied access, well, cry me a river.  Where is Superman when you need him: "Truth, justice and the American way" means an incorruptible set of values that we should all strive to have.  They are sorely missing with Wikfors and his merry band of liars and con-artists. Here's an idea: win honestly, lose gracefully.  It's time for decency and respectability to come back in vogue.

Activist Mark Lewis To Congressional Energy Legislators: The US IRS gave foreign wind power firms $28 billion in ITC tax credits in the past 10 years. $19 billion more tax credits are going out the door in the next 30 months. The US DOE issued this report 2016_Wind_Technologies_Market_Report showing how this massive fraud upon hard working energy people is damaging American interests. We need to cancel these wind tax credits for projects that have not started 30% construction to pay for the middle income tax credit. The fact House Republicans supported this ITC renewal in 2015 is shameful. The miners and the oil rig workers know this is happening, and they’re pissed.

Former AZ Senate Russell Pearce: My response to josselyn-berry-a-progressive-messenger-from-a-conservative-republican-household Josselyn thinks she can come in and change the fundamental values of the GOP?  She thinks being pro-family, pro-law, pro-baby, pro-taxpayer, pro-freedom is extremism?  ISIS would proud of Berry, a fan of Planned Parenthood abortion providers, dissecting babies and selling the parts.  A thousand woman die each year vs millions of babies killed each year by folks like Planned Parenthood.  The term “progressive” ought to raise eyebrows immediately.  I love it when they try to make “babies” just a woman’s reproductive issue.  THEY ARE BABIES, not a procedure, not a medical choice; we have a Constitutional and moral obligation to protect them from Berry and Planned Parenthood. Even if it is a little inconvenient for some who think killing babies is an option for them.  Then while at it, why not dissect the body and sell a few parts is an added bonus to those like Josselyn.  Maybe she should read the by-laws of the GOP.  Apparently the GOP are extremist as we make it very clear we stand for the protection of the un-born the most innocent lives amongst us.  We stand for Life, Liberty and Property as our Founders put forward in that inspired document called the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Josselyn appears to be in the wrong party based on her own ludicrous and progressive views.  However, I do understand her struggles with the anti-bias issue as she is very clear about her views opposing innocent life, traditional values and our God given freedoms.  Then to further exhibit her ignorance, Josselyn makes incorrect statements about ALEC, an organization where “conservative” legislators get together to work on Jeffersonian ideas of liberty, state’s rights, limited government and advocate for Constitutional adherence.  ALEC does not write legislation, they adopt good legislation that has been written and adopted in states and present it as model legislation for other states to have access to it.  By the Way no tax dollars are spent to send them to ALEC.  One has to go to college to get this un-educated.  Berry is the executive director of ProgressNow Arizona.

Trump Unloads On McConnell - Trump took his feud with McConnell to the next level Thursday, saying he's "very disappointed in Mitch" and tiptoeing around whether he thinks the Kentucky Republican should resign. "If he doesn't get repeal and replace done, and if he doesn't get taxes done, meaning cuts and reform, and if he doesn't get a very easy one to get done, infrastructure, if he doesn't get them done, then you can ask me that question,"Trump told reporters from his Bedminster golf club when asked if McConnell should step down.

Bruce M Piepho - Cochise State Committeeman: Who does the State Republican party belong to? The State committeemen? or The Precinct Committeemen? or the AZGOP elected officers? Or Senator McCain? None of the above! The state party is our neighbors, the Republican registered voters and we represent them and serve them. A problem: The Arizona State Republican Party commonly referred to as AZGOP is unduly influenced by Arizona senators and the elite establishment to the point of being under their control. AZGOP officers are not representing the State Committeemen. And the State Committeemen are not representing the Precinct Committeemen. SO who is representing our Republican registered voters? - NO ONE! There is a revolution taking place in the AZGOP. Opponents of the RECALL movement refer to the movement members as misfits who are breaking the unity of the state party. The truth is the fractured AZGOP has been broken for many years not just the last 3 months. I have been an AZ resident since November 2010. Research has uncovered corruption, unresolved contested elections, unprecedented censorship of a senator leading to purging Tea Party and conservative PCs, – the list goes on and on. When does it stop? - - - I say NOW!

LD21 PC Randy Miller to Congressman Trent Franks: Did you know AZ's Representative Trent Franks has a "Resolution" H.J. 93, proposing an amendment to the constitution to be voted on by Congress???? His resolution is to add an amendment "To protect the rights of crime victims". Now this is a noble idea but one I disagree with. Here's why. First, he represents the interest of his Arizona constituents. He is proposing an amendment to the Nation's Constitution that affects the nation. To make a massive addition to such a document you would think it would be due to a fundamental problem in our country that this is addressing and it was the only fix. So here is another idea. Let each respective state address it based on their needs to their victim’s issues. That is more in line with the 9th and 10th amendments and keeping Washington out of our lives. There are a couple problems here.

    1. The state he is representing at the House of Representatives has not to my knowledge, asked or identified this as being a problem since it IS IN OUR STATE CONSTITUTION! Yes, that's right, Article II section 2.1 is titled, now get this, "Victims Bill of Rights". http://www.azleg.gov/const/arizona_constitution.pdf

    2. If there were a problem in Arizona, then it should be addressed locally since that is where our founding fathers believed, and rightfully so, that the people are most effective with government that is closest to them. Washington is a cesspool of corruption and ideologues pounding their sanctimonious chests vying for the popularity of their pounding the loudest and we pay them too much for doing so. If there is a specific issue regarding victims’ rights for information at the federal level, then just write legislation on it and make it law, it takes fewer votes.

I wish all legislators would ask, about bills I have seen going forward; "Is this a delegated power to the government and is it really a function of government".  Then ask, is this already addressed.

Russell Sias, La Paz County Chairman Exchange with AZGOP Second Vice Chairman Cindy Coleman: Sias is responding to Coleman’s message to him in which she notes, “I would be open to answering some of your concerns privately, as you and I have had some productive interactions in the past. Of course, I have some trust issues since you've decided to target me publicly in this recall maneuver. If we could chat, I believe some of your issues and misunderstandings might be resolved”

     Sias to Coleman: I am glad you find my statements and hopefully, my questions, “interesting,” as you have put it. Your offer to discuss them privately does concern me, however. They are, after all, party issues. As you already read the Briefs, most of my questions have been posted there, and are pretty straight forward. I believe that most Briefs readers would be interested to know what the Lines camp’s thinking is on the issues I have raised, especially those concerning our bylaws. The issues I raised are not really private issues, they are party issues, so please don’t be offended when I suggest that discussing them in a more public forum such as the Briefs is more appropriate. It would make much more sense that you offer your resolutions/answers to my questions in a more public forum, so that all could understand your points from your own writings in regard to the issues I have raised. In that you read the Briefs as I do, perhaps a dialog on these pages would be appropriate. It likely would put to rest future mistrust issues we still seem to have as well, for I truly have no interest in deceiving or misleading anyone. For the record, in one of our last communications, when we ended that conversation, I thought we had resolved our trust issues. Apparently, that was a misconception on my part, for I believed you when you suggested that we would put those issues behind us. It sounds as if it is not as behind us as I had hoped. If you would like me to re-address my current questions regarding our party leadership, I would be happy to do so. 

Radio Talk Show Host Tom Morrissey: For those of you who tried to hear my radio show on krimfm.com Payson radio station KRIM 96 FM yesterday at 3 PM and were wondering why it wasn't on.  It was due to an outage the day before caused by an accidental cutting of a fiber optic cable which knocked out the cable and internet service in Payson, virtually shutting the entire town down.  This threw the radio station off schedule and caused all kinds of updates on their system, including streaming capability.  However we managed to get my show on the air at 4 PM. We will return to the regular 3 -5 PM schedule on Thursday (8/17) when we will be doing a tribute to the late Glen Campbell (1st hour) and the legendary Outlaw Country singers (2nd hour).  You can find the show on KRIM 96.3 in the Payson AZ areaor krimfm.com(streaming) Thursdays 3 -5 pm.

Former Senate Russell Pearce: ABOR and MCCCD are completely out of control and apparently have contempt for the law, the taxpayer and the 73% of voters who passed Prop. 300 loudly saying NO to the DREAM ACT.   ABOR’s argument is built on a false premise that DACA is legal, AND IT IS NOT.  ABOR’s letter sent on 8/10/17 is an attempt to justify their illegal actions and is terrible and deceitful why they should not be sued as they continue to break the law.  They have decided illegally to continue and deliberately grant in-state tuition to so called DACA students, wow it is amazing.  They are slapping the voters of Arizona in the face and trying to justify their illegal actions.  The voters passed PROP. 300 by 73% and loudly said NO to the DREAM ACT.  ABOR apparently does not get that.  Prop. 300 passed with a majority of every single demographic.  ABOR as stated is not a part of the MCCCD court decision.  ABOR deliberately broke the law and without a liberal judge’s decision to hide behind.  They were warned by me to please do not move forward on in-state tuition as it is in direct violation of the law.  I told Mark Killian who was a member of ABOR at the time.  I asked Mark to not the break the law, before they choose to vote on it.  They ignored my advice, the law and the cost to the taxpayers.  ABOR is not a part or a party to the law suit.  Liberal Judge Arthur Anderson decision to ignore the law in the MCCCD law suit did not and does not apply to ABOR.  Why in the world would we wait until the appeal is over before we demand ABOR follow the law.  See full statement at http://russellpearce.com/arizona-board-of-regents-vs-the-people-and-the-law/

Saddlebrooke Republican Club Censures Senators McCain And Flake: Yesterday, the SaddleBrooke Republican Club (SBRC), one of the largest Republican Clubs in Arizona, acted on the unanimous vote of its membership last Wednesday by sending letters of censure to Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake. McCain, after running for re-election on a “repeal Obamacare” platform and after seven plus years of Republican attempts to repeal Obamacare, turned his back on the people of Arizona and voted to keep Obamacare. McCain abandoned support of Candidate Trump as the Republican Presidential Candidate and has continued to attack our President after the election. Senator McCain has shown himself to be not a Republican expressing American values but a closet progressive espousing globalist values, according to SBRC Vice President Richard D. Brinkley’s press release. Flake also abandoned Candidate Trump as the Republican Presidential Candidate and has continued his attacks post-election. Flake was a co-sponsor of a bill to restore freedom of travel to Cuba without demanding the release of political prisoners or the cessation of torture. Flake’s vote in favor of Obama’s illegal executive scheme earned Flake the title of ‘Sanctuary Senator’. Despite the title of his most recent book, Flake is no Barry Goldwater, Brinkley’s said.

     About the SBRC: The SaddleBrooke Republican Club is one of the largest Republican Clubs in Arizona. The centerpiece of what we do is our monthly speaker’s education program. During non-election years, our forums address subjects of special interest to our membership. Examples are lack of border control, radical Islam, and Medicaid expansion, as well as updates from public officials. One of our strongest assets is the American Issues Policy Group, which has been in existence since 2008. This is our own think tank that has published numerous policy position papers that have been communicated to our elected officials at the State and Federal levels. - Vice President Richard D. Brinkley

LD22 State Committeewoman Karen Thomas:  Thank you Warren Woodward of Sedona for your post about the Dangers of Smart Meters.  I’ve known about this problem for a couple of years but have not done much about it except send e-mails to some residents here in Sun City Grand. I have ordered the DVD “Take Back Your Power” and will ask the board members at SCG to view it and, hopefully, alert the residents so we can rid this serious problem in my community.  I’ve also asked our LD22 Chairman to ask our board members to view the free video.  My hope is that we can make this a project in LD22 and that it will spread to other LDs. 

Long-Time GOP Activist Jan Martinson: How could someone be so impaired, vote in the first place? I think these congressmen should be required to have a complete physical each year, to determine if they are of sound mind! John McCain Says He ‘Accidentally’ Voted No On Healthcare Repeal…Senator John McCain stunned the whole nation by voting NO on the Obamacare annul on the Senate floor a few days ago, yet despite the fact that he…

Former AZGOP Chair Tom Morrissey: If you read Arpaio Open to Trump Pardon on Sheriff Joe (AZ Republic) you will see an unabashed bias against this man who is a victim (so are we) of the out of control Left.  This, from a failing newspaper, that is so left leaning you might think that the editor is George Soros.  After the Arpaio article there is a very enlightening article on the Sheriff's case by Larry Klayman, Sheriff Joe Arpaio Falls Victim To Biased Judicial Systemwhich, if nothing else, balances the article in the AZ Republic which explains what went on with Sheriff Joe's battle against the Left aka the Ruling Class Establishment Elite. Worth a read!

Nancy Russell Plencner of Fountain Hills:  Surely it must be an urban myth or a colossal joke?  Reportedly, Grant Woods, former Arizona Attorney General, would be the ailing Senator John McCain’s choice to fill his Senate seat.  Last I checked the Governor of the Great State of Arizona Doug Ducey would make the call.  The benefit of being a several-decades-long political activist is that the memory bank is full of all sorts of interesting memorabilia...one that comes to mind is Fred-Duval-Kicks-Off-Gov-Campaign-With-Ads-Featuring-Grant-Woods-Failed-Fiesta-Bowl-Fiasco-Investigator

from the Phoenix New Times.  It details Grant Woods who was hired to investigate the Fiesta Bowl Fiasco and reported that nothing was out of line at the Bowl. The headline of the link is titled, "the Failed Fiesta Bowl Fiasco Investigator and his endorsement of Democrat Fred Duval for Governor."  That would have been DuVal's race against Doug Ducey, our current Republican Governor.  And just to add some spice to the debate about Grant Woods and the Republican Party, recall that Woods also has a long history of endorsing Democrats over Republicans, for example; Hillary Clinton, Terry Goddard, and Janet Napolitano. It appears "The Maverick Senator" wants to ensure another Maverick keeps his seat and legacy intact.  Surely there is a Republican in good standing, an individual we all could support should an appointment become necessary.  Perhaps readers of this publication might like to help the process by placing a call to our Governor offering some names.  Editor’s Note: Unconfirmed reports currently circulating are that Kirk Adams is Gov Doug Ducey choice if an appointment becomes necessary. - ft

“Who is Grant Woods?” a caller asked. Google Grant Woods and wikipedia.org/ Grant_Woods pops up with this description: “Grant Woods (born May 19, 1954) served as attorney general of Arizona from 1991 until 1999. Woods was a supporter of John McCain in his race for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination against J.D. Hayworth in 2010. Woods was McCain's chief of staff when he was a congressman. During the U.S. Presidential election of 2016 he has been the only Arizona Republican to have held high office to endorse the Democratic candidate for President, Hillary Clinton. Regarding the two Presidential candidates, Donald Trump (Republican) and Hillary Clinton (Democrat) he wrote, “Hillary Clinton is one of the most qualified nominees to ever run for president. Donald Trump is the least qualified ever. The stakes are too high to stand on the sideline. I stand with Hillary Clinton for president.” Woods, considered a moderate-to-liberal Republican, was attorney general from 1991 to 1999. In the 1980s, Woods was the first congressional chief of staff for now-U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and is a longtime friend and confidant of McCain's.”

Russell Sias, La Paz County Chairman: There are some petty obnoxious negative things being said about Kelli Ward in regard to a fund raising flyer their campaign has turned out. It includes a pic of the now fairly famous one of Griffin with Trump's head. The comments that are being made are pretty negative about using that pic. Before I jumped to conclusions, I asked. As I understand, the purpose of the pic is to discuss just how far the left is willing to go, and that the pic was included to demonstrate the insanity of the left. I agree the pic is disgusting, no problem with that, but how else do we get the message across that we are in a very real fight for our country and our constitution, with and coming from these disgusting left leaning morons who will go to ANY length to destroy this country? Part of the problem is that the vast majority of people in this country are disconnected, especially from political issues.  It appears that the flyer was trying to say, which would you prefer, a conservative Kelli Ward, or some left wing fruit that pulls crap like Griffin did? In light of what I got told about the flyer, I will support Kelli Ward every time!

Republican Briefs

Editor’s Note: Ed O'Keefe of the Washington Post was in Arizona this past week gathering information on Sen Jeff Flake. His article was released yesterday. – ft  O’Keefe writes, “Over two months, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) has dodged bullets on a baseball field, buried his elderly father and watched one of his political mentors, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), battle terminal brain cancer. And that was all before he published a book that doubles down on his criticisms of President Trump, which in less than two weeks since its release, has once again put him at odds with members of his own party. The best-selling book may make Flake the most high-profile Republican casualty of the Trump era. Or, he may prove that embracing one’s core principles can still be appealing to voters…” See full article at Can-Jeff-Flake-Survive-The-Role-Of-Chief-Republican-Antagonist-To-Trump

The Wanderer Asked GOP Activist Rob Haney about the possibility of Republicans losing their majorities in 2018. Haney, retired chairman of the local Maricopa County Republican Party, focused on whether GOP conservatives would lose. “The Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) believe they have demonstrated, with overwhelming success during the last 60 years, the strategy to maintain power over the GOP. Therefore, they do not fear losing RINO seats to conservatives. The strategy is simple,” he said. “The Republican National Committee will back the RINO in the primary against the conservative. They may also ‘encourage’ another Republican to run to split the conservative vote. The RINO usually wins these contests and then the unity strategy card is played,” Haney said. “‘We can’t allow a far-left liberal to win the seat. Conservatives must unite with moderates for a Republican victory.’ “It seems to work every time. McCain has used it repeatedly,” he said. “In those rare instances where a conservative wins the primary, he/she can count on diminished support from the RNC, and socially liberal Republicans have demonstrated they have no qualms about supporting the Democrat. The establishment wins with a RINO or Democrat and maintains their power. And that is why the political spectrum continually moves left.” See full article Singer Campbell Became Contrite . . . Why Can’t The McCains Of The Political World Do Likewise?

Activist James Alberts: Congratulations to the Saddlebooke Republications Club for censuring McCain and Flake! Keep up the good work ! Hope every club and LD in the state will do the same.

PC Clair Van Steenwyk: Some thoughts on the McCain Issue: Wouldn't it be just like Sen. McCain to continue to control AZ Politics for the next few decades?  I believe the Bait & Switch with Grant Woods is Classic McCain. Chose your successor and then election time put your money & GOP Machine behind the person you really want to have your large black book on all the Politicians -- to continue to control them, for as we all know it's not his pleasing personality that they line up in lock step behind.  Here's a real solution for AZ's Gov. Doug Ducey, who we all know would love to have the job but fears appointing himself to it; also fears angering Sen. McCain by not following his direction. I suggest putting all those who've been on the ballot in the last three election cycles; then have the people decide who they want to serve out Sen. McCain's term, which would mean putting JD Hayworth, J. Deakin, W. Cardon, Hackbarth, K. Ward, A. Meluskey and yes even myself. See what the outcome is. I believe this would be the more honest approach to fill out Sen. McCain's term. Some won't like it and but this might be a way to get Jeff DeWit to announce and begin his campaign to run against Sen. Flake - who many would really like to see replaced. Or as usual we can let the GOP Elites make the peoples decision for us. The AZ Senate & House seats belong to the People of the State of AZ and not those who happen to occupy them. For an office holder to think they have some special right to name their successor is a totally unacceptable; after all elections determine who has the office not the office holder ordaining their replacement.

Russell Sias, La Paz County Chairman Open letter to AZGO 2 VC Cindy Coleman, Part 1: You indicated that you wanted to communicate, and I suggested that we do so publicly. Here are some of my concerns again, in case you are willing to reconsider your request for us to communicate privately.

    How much did Ex Chairman Graham actually indebt us? Was it the $220,000 Chairman Lines announced on 11 Mar, or was it $250,000 as recorded in the minutes of that meeting, or was it the $235,000, that Chairman Lines announced when he spoke of retiring the bill? Or some other amount that we haven’t yet heard? According to bylaws, “...the executive committee shall approve the annual budget...review...counsel...chairman on all programs....” Did Graham get us into this debt without the exec committee knowing about it? Who has investigated this issue? Is there an outcome yet? Or is there an investigation at all? If the ex-treasurer could be “surprised” (his words as state chair on 11 March) by this debt, then should we assume that the debt was not approved by the exec committee?

    Now, about getting this bill paid off, where did this new money come from; who are the donors? In state, or out of state? If this amount came from a very few donors, then the question arises, what strings are attached? What do these presently unknown donors want in return for their investment? Let’s resolve these questions first, and see where we go from there.

A New Gallup Poll Notes that a rare phenomenon has occurred in which a politician has received better ratings from supporters of an opposition party than from those of his own party’s base. After Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain voted against the GOP’s efforts to repeal Obamacare, his favorability rating has shot up to 58% – with the majority of it among Democrats. The Gallup poll, conducted August 2-6, was taken soon after McCain joined forces with 46 Democrats, two Republicans, and two Independents to sink a last-ditch effort by the GOP to repeal Obamacare. As a result, McCain now has a 71% approval rating with Democrats, a 22-point increase from their view of him in August 2015. In comparison, McCain’s approval among Republicans has plunged by 10 points over the past two years, from 61% in August 2015 to 51% in the latest poll.

Retired Col Alan West: This past weekend I was honored to be in a most picturesque place with some great and hospitable folks in Prescott (Yavapai County), Arizona. I was there to address the Republican Women of Prescott, the nation’s largest Republican women’s club, on their 75th anniversary. The scenery there was just breathtaking and there was just a sense of solemnness that we all need experience from time to time. How great a contrast it was from what was happening across the country in Charlottesville, Virginia… See full article at here’s-really-happened-in charlottesville

Former LD13 Chairman And Supt Of Public Instruction Candidate Robert Branch: Pres. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize! – Pres. Trump brought China and Russia into the N. Korea problem like no other president could have, and now N. Korea is backing down. Thank God for Pres. Trump! Editor’s Note: Branch also serves on the Maricopa County Parks Board. - ft

Attorney Larry Klayman: I want to say at the outset: As a young boy, my heroes included Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammad Ali and the Temptations. I am not a racist, and indeed I cherish among my many friends Alan Keyes, Larry Elder and Armstrong Williams, all African-American conservatives who, like me, believe that all of us — in the words of our Founding Father and President Thomas Jefferson, who hailed from Charlottesville, Virginia, and his nearby estate at Monticello — are equal under God. And, as a Jewish Christian, I have a personal stake in making sure that the Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists who perpetrated the heinous deadly car attack in Virginia this last weekend go severely punished, as Attorney General Jeff Sessions correctly pledged just Monday. But I am troubled about the continuing hypocrisy and dual standard of justice in the nation as a whole. In addition to Neo-Nazis and white supremacists in attendance and who engaged in violence at the pro-Confederacy rally, also present were counter-revolutionaries from Antifa, a radical leftist hate group, and of course Black Lives Matter, by and large a black vigilante group, to name just a few. These hate-filled agitators also participated in the violence that predictably erupted. Continue Reading...

Activist James Alberts: President Trump is correct when he stated that Mitch McConnell should resign, right along with John McCain, Jeff Flake and Paul Ryan. They have had seven years to work on a repeal and replace of the ACA and none of them has done anything.

Dale Gohr of Clarkdale: When are we going to stop placating wrongdoers and allow our law enforcement personnel the latitude necessary to actually enforce the law? Jumping to conclusions to make headlines is not the answer either; the previous administration did more than enough of that, which was expensive in some cases. [In July 2009, Professor Gates arrested for ‘disorderly conduct’ and President Obama saying the “police acted stupidly”, which was wrong and “We Taxpayers” were privileged to pay the bill for Dr. Gates and Sargent Crowley to be transported and accommodated in Washington D.C. for a “Beer Summit” with the President. Because the President spoke stupidly; without knowing the situation]. That is only one of the times President Obama engaged his mouth without having his brain in gear. Now the Press wants President Trump to condemn the supremacist before we know the facts. I personally despise any supremacists, regardless of Race, and it sounds as though a “White Supremacist” was driving. It is wrong to brand anyone as a villain, without having at least some semblance of proof or a viable suspicion.

     Back to the start of this: Didn’t some group obtain a legitimate Permit to Protest? Was there any permit for a Counter Protest? Did the City Mayor Restrict the Police Presence? No Protest or Lawful Assembly is entitled to do any Property Damage (Public or Private) nor are they entitled to impede traffic (Motorized or not; unless they are supported by the appropriate Law Enforcement entity). The First Amendment allows only for the “People Peaceably to Assemble”: allofthem;shouldbearrestedatthefirstsignofpropertydamage. This garbage of the city officials withdrawing the police is as much or more to blame for some cases - which Charlottesville looks like a classic case; albeit far from being unique.

AZGOP Chairman Jonathan Lines: As Americans, I know we were all horrified by the terrible and tragic events in Charlottesville, VA this weekend. Our hearts ache for the two state troopers, Jay Cullen and Berke Bates, killed when their helicopter crashed. And we mourn the loss of 32 year old Heather Heyer, killed by a domestic terrorist and coward who has no understanding of what our country is all about. I applaud the President and Vice President for condemning the violence, and would point you to the words last night of Vice President Mike Pence: “We have no tolerance for hate and violence, white supremacists or neo-Nazis or the KKK.” Attorney General Jeff Sessions has directed the Department of Justice to open a Federal investigation; the driver of the vehicle will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and may face the death penalty for his crime. And just now, President Trump was direct and succinct: “Racism is evil.”

     I want to make clear that the marchers carrying Nazi flags and chanting racist and anti-sematic phrases are not “conservative,” they are not “Republicans.” Deplorably, I saw some in the media and on the left attempting to equate these disgusting actions with our party of Lincoln. We disavow them, and we reject any attempts to lump them in with our conservative coalition. I will not allow the fake news to define what it means to be a Republican. Period. Friends, as the President said, we are all Americans. We all honor the same flag. And we all reject the violence that we saw this weekend in Charlottesville. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue. As Americans, we must unify, reject hate and violence, and work together to honor our great nation. We stand together. And we WILL Make America Great Again.

The Maricopa County Recorder's Office will hold proposed reprecincting meetings at 6 pm., Sept 5 in the Paradise Valley Community College, RmQ120A, 18401 N 32nd St in Phoenix and at 6 pm., Sept 13 in Scottsdale (1 mile off of 101 on Indian School then Turn right on Granite Reef.)

Upon Seeing Yesterday's StatementAZ Democrats And The American Flag, by AZGOP Chairman Jonathan Lines  and the related AZ Republic article about the AZGOP donating a U.S. flag, flagpole, and installation to the Arizona Democratic Party, LD24 PC Tristan Manos observes: "It's remarkably ironic — to the point of being bizarre — how this AZGOP administration makes something like that a ‘priority,’ especially when the U.S. flag standing on AZGOP's own property goes dark when the sun goes down. As per U.S. Flag Code, ‘It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.’”

     “Please excuse me for being a strong believer in ‘1st Things 1st,’ especially as it goes for running an organization. If the present AZGOP administration sees prioritizing (as Lines says in his statement) [being] ‘always happy to work with the other side of the aisle when it comes to showing our American Spirit’ before getting the AZGOP's  U.S. flag right, one may wonder, are the AZGOP's priorities about 1st Things 1st, or what?’”

     I'm calling on any patriotic, interested, and motivated AZ Republicans (PCs especially) to join me in getting the U.S. flag standing outside AZGOP HQ "properly illuminated during the hours of darkness." Of course, it's AZGOP property, so we'll work with the AZGOP, as appropriate. Then again, if the AZGOP somehow "sees the light" to make this the high priority it really is, maybe the AZGOP will get the flag lit before we get to it? Before waiting around for the AZGOP to act on its own, if and whenever that may be, let's plan to get the flag lit up ASAP. If you're "in," please contact me. Thank you. Contact: tristanmanos2@gmail.comEditor’s Note: Former employees tells Briefs there was a solar light at AZGOP flag pole that required occasional battery changes. Has anyone checked the battery? - ft

Senate Majority Leader, Mitch Mcconnell, R-KY, told a Rotary Club gathering that: “Our new president, of course, has not been in this line of work before, I think he had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process.” I submit that it’s to President Trump’s credit to not have been a carskunk mcconnelleer fraud, err, I mean career politician. This gives President Trump the unique perspective of actually knowing how to accomplish things, ahead of schedule and under budget. What McConnell was really saying in thinly veiled nuances was that President Trump doesn’t know what he is doing and that President Trump isn’t qualified for the position he holds because he’s never been a politician and he isn’t one of “them.” See full article is mitch mcconnell a skunk, rotten, or a rotten skunk?

The Arizona Corporation Commission ordered Arizona Public Service Company (APS) to evaluate forest bioenergy as part of its resource portfolio. The topic was introduced during Tuesday’s APS rate application proceedings by Commissioner Boyd W. Dunn.“Arizona has a long history that clearly shows the devastating impact of wildfires,” said Dunn. “Forest bioenergy can serve an important role in maintaining Arizona’s forests, woodlands, and watersheds while providing a viable renewable energy source.” APS representatives agreed to conduct a 90-day study and report back to the Commission.  The report will include an examination of at least three scenarios for bioenergy that look at low, medium, and high use. Forest bioenergy is becoming increasingly important in Arizona and nationwide as a carbon-neutral, renewable source. The 2017 spending bill directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency to develop clear, consistent, and simple federal policies regarding forest bioenergy. Commissioner Andy Tobin supported Dunn’s efforts and was quick to point out how critical it is to explore this topic further. “Two of the biggest infrastructure and safety issues facing Arizona are water and fire,” said Chairman Tom Forese. “The work being done by the Commission today is an elegant solution to these challenges. I am proud of the work that is being done here to help move the needle for developing these resources.” A separate docket has been opened which will continue to explore market development opportunities.  The Commission will also hold workshops at a later date. The docket number is E-00000Q-17-0138. Go to http://www.azcc.gov and enter the number in eDocket.

Republican Briefs

A New Day, A New Shenenigan: Yesterday morning’s Briefs8-16-17-Briefs. posted that volunteers wishing to help at the Aug 22 Trump Rally in Phoenix should contact the Trump-Pence Team’s official volunteer coordinator Marina DeWit at Marina@JeffDeWit.com  for vetting and security purposes.  A few hours later, AZGOP Chairman Jonathan Lines sent out a rally message reading:“…we need your help to register voters and work this exciting event.”  Lines message directs  the volunteer to http://www.ourcauseourvoice.com/volunteer/  which opens under the AZGOP header and reads, “President Donald J. Trump is coming to Arizona and we need your help to staff this event and register voters”   and “Register now to help our team welcome President Trump to Phoenix” --  implying the AZGOP and Lines are involved in planning the rally.  As the day progressed, Briefs learned that the Trump-Pence Team’s Arizona Senior Advisor Jeff DeWit (aka AZ State Treasurer) is in complete charge of organizing/coordinating, staffing the upcoming Tuesday rally.  Marina@JeffDeWit.com is the correct/official volunteer contact.  AZGOP/Lines are NOT in charge of hosting, staffing, welcoming, greeting, security or gathering volunteer information for this Trump-Pence Team event… which prompts some folks to question why Lines sent out his message and whether it was a veiled attempt to garner a list of potential volunteers to work for Establishment favored 2018 candidates in the future. Rally volunteers need to make sure they submitted their information to Marina@JeffDeWit.com

President Donald Trump will hold a rally at 7 pm., Tues., Aug 22 at the Convention Center, 100 N. 3rd St., Phoenix, AZ 85004. Get your tickets hereDoors open at 4 pm. Limit personal items and arrive early to expedite entrance into the venue. No homemade signs, banners, professional cameras with a detachable len, tripods, monopods, selfie-sticks, back pack or large bags will be permitted into the venue. Merchandise will be sold. If you are unable to attend, you can pick up MAGA gear online here, according to Team Trump–Pence.

Marianne Ferrari, spokesman for the Remove AZGOP Chairman Jonathan Lines“Call” petitions, has announced that the Removal “Call” Meeting will be held at 10 am, Sat., Sept 30 at the Living Word Bible Church, 3520 E Brown Road in Mesa.  Ferrari can be reached at advocacy@indepthcritique.com

Activist Sandy Bartlett: Is the AZGOP going to call him out on this? Rep-Ruben-Gallego: ‘We-Just-Have-To-Admit-Donald-Trump-Is-An-Absolute-Racist

LD18 PC Larry Hilliard: An email from Jonathan Lines arrived regarding the AZ Democratic Party HQ not flying an American flag. Really? This is such a big issue that you have to make a stink about it? Apparently "Our team" dropped off a flag that wasn't put up because they don't have a flag pole. Well, perhaps their lease agreement prohibits them from putting one up. Bottom line, doesn't the AZGOP have bigger things to worry about?

LD20 State Committeeman Marcus Kelley? How do you know a RINO is lying?  Her mouth is moving.  On July 31 on Sonoran Alliance, the RINO/Establishment/liberal/neo-con faction of our party tried to criticize those collecting signatures for a special meeting to remove our state party leadership because those behind the effort said they don't need a reason to remove party leaders.  It’s true:  state party bylaws don't require a reason to call a special meeting.  Despite the absence of a requirement for a reason in the bylaws, the reasons for calling a special meeting to remove our leadership have been restated repeatedly. Similarly, state law does not require a reason to recall a state legislator.  Funny, the RINOs act like it's a big deal that no reason is required to have a special meeting, yet it didn't stop the same faction from gathering signatures to recall Senate President RussellPearce and forcing a recall election by putting up one-term RINO candidate Jerry Lewis.  Sorry, RINOs, your criticisms are hypocritical for at least three reasons:

    · you didn't let the lack of a reason stop you when it came to recalling Sen. Pearce;

    · you didn't support efforts in the state legislature to require malfeasance as a prerequisite for a recall;

    · and you've had decades to add such a requirement to the bylaws and you didn't.

The criticism from the RINO/establishment faction is also stunningly hypocritical because they incessantly decry personal attacks and factionalism, yet they do nothing but personally attack special meeting leaders and divide Republicans.  What the RINO wing did to conservatives with the removal of Pearce is now being revisited, to a much lesser degree, on the RINOs.  Recently, on Facebook, one RINO snidely said that a conservative had a beam in his eye.  I'd say the RINOs have a forest in theirs.

Navajo County Republican Committee Chairman Steven Slaton to Gila County Republicans: Thank you for the invitation to The Gila County Republican Party’s 2017 Reagan Day Dinner, with special guests Congressman Paul Gosar, and Senator Jeff Flake. Along with KFYI talk show host Mike Broomhead - who trashed Kelli Ward on his radio show. For God sakes, Shirley,these people are not good guests and surely not conservatives, except Congressman Gosar. Since Kelli Ward has NOT been included as a speaker, and we do not support Senator Flake because of his constant downgrading of President Trump, we will not attend. Good luck with your dinner! I’m sure you are fully aware that Senator Flake does not want to DRAIN THE DC Swamp. And I’m SURE you are as well fully aware that Senator Flake also does not want to secure our Border, defund plan parenthood; and he really is not willing to get rid of OBAMACARE and all of HIS health care subsidies. He copied the great Barry Goldwater’s Book title. He is a poor excuse for a United States Senator!!!!

PC Art Olivas, JR: What I have seen and learned in the GOP 'Good O'ld White Boys Party - This in my personal observations and experience. When JD Hayworth asked my wife and I to join the Republican Party, become PCs and work to make a difference in our government. LD16 (now LD27) Chairman Constantin Querard was a lobbyist; but let me tell you we got a lot of work done! After “CQ” moved, someone by the name of Steve (never heard of him before) became our chairman, then came Chairman Terry Rapp (I had never seen or heard of him before either). Then I ran for LD chairman, after helping every one that ran for office in our LD and the Republican Party in Arizona - financially or working with signs and handing out literature. I ran against Ron Harders. I think I got 8 votes out of 38! As Dan Coleman said later in an email that he and Ron didn't want me leading the LD. We all know all that we got out of Harders was that he was 83 yrs. old and sometimes acted like he needed help going to the bathroom. Now we come to our present Chairman Brandon Jones! Never heard or knew anything about him until he ran for chairman. Again I ran for chairman and got 3 votes. Brandon has not been to many meetings as he is in Taiwan, I believe. What I have come to believe is that the Republican Party will not let you represent them if you are not white or kissing their a$$. Hell, if you don't believe me, look at John McCain, Bruce Ash and their RINOs efforts to keep Gabby S. Mercer out of office!! We need to drain the swamp here in Arizona. The Az. GOP needs to know AZ is not all white. Can any body prove me wrong? I know other people would like to know the answer, too! I say what I believe! If you want to know what I have done Google my name; you may be surprise. I will never be politically correct, nor bow down to your unlawful demands.

Tea Party President Jenny Beth Martin: Left-wing activists are trying to pressure President Trump to oust Steve Bannon from the White House. For too long, people in the media have smeared Bannon as a racist and white nationalist. In the wake of Charlottesville, the media and intolerant left have stepped up their attacks on Bannon.We have known Bannon for years and those smears couldn’t be further from the truth.Steve is a fighter. He’s a wrecking ball with his sights set on changing business as usual in Washington, D.C. He’s passionate about forging a stronger, more prosperous nation for all Americans.And if Bannon is forced out, the intolerant left will just target a new member of President Trump's inner circle. Maybe on the White House staff, maybe in the cabinet. The point is, Bannon's won't be the last head to roll — it will just be the first. As I said in November, "If the political left prevails in forcing President-elect Trump to abandon one of his most effective and trusted confidantes, it will set up a dangerous precedent that the left can dictate not only the staffing decisions at the White House, but also the policy agenda."And that, make no mistake about it, is the left's real objective here."Don’t let the intolerant left and the fake news media destroy a great American patriot. Call the White House today at 202-456-1414 or 202-456-1111 and urge President Trump to keep Steve Bannon on his team; and while you’re at it, urge the president to end the Congressional exemption from Obamacare.

The Nation Has Watched In Disgust as rioting extremist have injured innocent people, vandalized and destroyed historical statues/landmarks/private property and created havoc. Our country is being torn apart by extremist who have little or no regard for law and order, or anyone who disagrees with them. This insanity needs to stop. How can we expect to be looked up to as the world leader when ill-advised protestors/rioters are attempting to destroy everything we stand for? – ft

President Donald Trump will hold a rally at 7 pm., Tues., Aug 22 at the Convention Center, 100 N. 3rd St., Phoenix, AZ 85004. Get your tickets hereDoors open at 4 pm. Limit personal items and arrive early to expedite entrance into the venue. No homemade signs, banners, professional cameras with a detachable lens, tripods, monopods, selfie-sticks, back pack or large bags will be permitted into the venue. If you are unable to attend, you can pick up “Make America Great Again (MAGA) gear online here, according to Team Trump–Pence.

The Trump-Pence Team’s Arizona Senior Advisor Jeff DeWit (aka state treasurer) is in charge of organizing/coordinating/staffing the rally convention center – as with Trumps’ prior Phoenix rally’s/visits. Nevertheless, Tuesday afternoon/evening an e-mail was floating from an individual requesting that anyone wanting to volunteer for the Trump Rally should send their contact information to that individual. That scenario was short lived. Wednesday Briefs was informed that volunteers wanting to work the rally should contact Marina DeWit, the official Trump-Pence Team’s volunteer coordinator, at Marina@JeffDeWit.com  for vetting and security purposes. Then a message circulated from AZGOP Chairman Jonathan Lines started creating confusion due to the wording “we need your help to staff this event”. Some volunteers thought Lines message implied that AZGOP/Lines, instead of Jeff DeWit, was in charge of the staffing the rally. Not so, DeWit is very much in charge of organizing the Trump Rally. Lines “tricky” (as it has been called) worded request is actually for volunteers to register/recruit voters all year long for the AZGOP, as well as at the upcoming Trump-Pence Team rally. To make sure everyone is singing out of the same hymn book -- Marina at Marina@JeffDeWit.com is the official Trump-Pence Team volunteer coordinator to contact if you want to volunteer to do anything beyond voter registration. To volunteer for the AZGOPs voter registration/ recruitment program, go to http://www.ourcauseourvoice.com/volunteer/ AZGOP Communications Director Torunn Sinclair says “Over 400 volunteers have now signed up. We expect to have stations inside and outside the convention center.”

AzRA Chairman Jim O’Connor says that Zack Taylor, Chairman of National Association of Border Patrol Officers, and Jeanette Finicum, widow of LaVoy Finicum, have been added to the list of speakers for the to the National Federation of Republican Assemblies 2017 Convention, scheduled Oct 6-8 at the Sheraton Mesa Hotel in Mesa.

Gila County Republican Chairman Gary Morris to Navajo County Republican Chairman Steve Slaton comments in the 8-17-17-Briefs complaining that Senate CandidateKelli Ward was not invited to speak at the Gila County Republican Committee’s upcoming Reagan Day Dinner. First, The Committee normally does not invite candidatesto our two annual fund raisers. Our supporting Rim Country Republican Club (Payson), our Cobre Valley Republican Club (Globe), along with the Payson Tea Party do a very good job of scheduling lots of candidates to speak. (The Payson and Globe clubs meet monthly and the Tea Party meets weekly). Kelli has spoken to Republicans in Gila County a number of times in the past. Further, our dinners do not, and have not been, a debate platform that would put Kelli against Senator Flake. Additionally, our past practice is inviting only electedRepublicans office holders to speak and not candidates. The Executive Committee did consider inviting Kelli, but believed that if we break our practice, a speaking engagement at our spring Lincoln Day Dinner would have a greater positive name recognition impact for Kelli going into the Primaries.

     As to Senator Flake. This will be the first sitting Republican Senator to speak to Gila County Republicans in more a decade. We have people who both support and oppose Senator Flake purchasing tickets. The Senator has an opportunity to tell his story and listen to what his constituents have to say. Dinner attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers. Not to allow Senator Flake the opportunity to speak is taking the Democrat position of preventing free speech. And I’m no damn Democrat! I do not intend to act like a college dean, or professor, who prevents Republicans speaking on campus.

     As to the statement about Mike Broomhead“trashing Kelli”, I invite all readers to use critical thinking skills and do their own investigation/research regarding comments by both Kelli and Mike and consider the context of the conversation, as I did, and determine if they believe “trashing” was involved. All candidates need to be prepared for tough questions and take the heat. Kelli was again on the Mike Broomhead show Thursday morning so it doesn’t appear he’s preventing her access to his show. I invite all Republicans to join us at the Reagan Day dinner. Go to gilagop.com for tickets.

Activist Gary Ripley: We see Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton already trying to sabotage President Donald Trump. Will he be the next politician - whose HATRED of Trump and Trump supporters - to call for the police to stand down so Trump supporting American Citizens can be terrorized by left wing thugs?

Activist Holly Hathhorn: I thank Steve Slaton for his letter in the 8-17-17-Briefs.  He hit it right on the head.  I just couldn’t believe that Jeff Flake had been invited to the dinner.  It is an insult to Dr. Paul Gosar as far as I am concerned.  Flake has demonstrated again and again what a RINO he is and most of the people in Gila County that I know do not like him!  Knowing what we know about Flake, why would he be invited?  I question the reasoning behind it.  As far as I am concerned, that was a good way to NOT sell tickets!  I have had calls from friends here in Payson who ask ‘what the h…l’?, and I have to say that I am not involved in this (soooo glad I’m not).  I might need to do some signs for that evening.  Just saying.  On a much brighter note, congrats to Tom Morrissey on his radio show.  Thanks for all you do for us Frosty.  God Bless.

LD 22 State and Captain PC Lori HackPresident Trump just gave Dr. KelliWard.com's campaign a huge boost yesterday morning https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/898136462385979392 by mentioning her fight against Sanctuary Senator Jeff Flake.  He Tweeted out ... "Great to see that Dr. Kelli Ward is running against flake Jeff Flake, who is weak on borders, crime and non-factor in Senate.  He's toxic!"  Great things are happening in the Team Ward campaign - donate and join TODAY!

Activist Robert Richards: Exposing Cruel Hoax of Elites - To the many Americans who are confused or angry about the failure of our government who suspect that public policy doesn’t reflect the public interest anymore may I suggest some resource and reading material for your edification. Two new books out now where books are sold.

     1. “The Big Lie” exposing the Nazi roots by Dinesh D’Souza’s .

     2. The intelligence war on Trump by Dick Morris“Rogue Spooks”.

Both publications expose the propagandist games played by elites, media types, the “deep state” and others that dim the public’s understanding of “fake news” being perpetrated on American citizens 24-7. Knowing the mass psychology of Fascism is necessary to discern what is true or false in news reporting. Educate yourself rather than being told how to think by social media, educational & political elites, Hollywood, and entertainers that function and worship emotions as their god and take pride in the shameful things they do in this cultural war that grips our Nation presently. PS Obama corruption. Obama implanted moles within the Trump Administration. How? By reclassifying his bureaucratic appointees to Civil Service status. Now for life embedded to inhibit progress towards “Making Our Nation Great Again” i.e. leaking, spying, and blocking administrative functions.

Former AZ State Senator Russell Pearce: The Media Is The Largest Hate Group In America And An Illegal Pac For The Democrat Party - The haters are so obvious.  It does not matter what President Trump says;  it does not matter what the truth is;  it does not matter what is good for America;  it does not matter how vulgar and violent the left is; the haters will continue to hate.   I condemn ALL race based hate groups equally; they are evil and destructive. 

     I am sick and tired of the media hate groups, the Washington elite, the alt-left and left leaning hate filled Republicans. I expect hate filled rhetoric from the illegal Democrat PAC (the media) and the alt-left, but it’s extremely disappointing coming from fellow Republicans.  I believe the good America loving Patriots won’t fall for this hate propaganda.  But, it’s becoming more difficult with the hate America academia influencing our young and vulnerable, to this deceptive, anti-America and misguided evil.  The Democrat Party is the Party of slavery, the Party of segregationist, the Party of Jim Crow.  Enough is Enough on the lies and distortions of history.  Thank heaven we finally have a President who refuses to be PC as he condemns the KKK and White supremacists, as he should, but makes it clear that the fascist radical left group that is clearly anti-American that brought clubs, shields and other weapons to a permitted protest were also a hate group of bad, bad people who came intending to engage in violent acts.  Yes, hate groups need to be condemned in the strongest terms.  Yet, there were probably good folks who came not a part of either group, but to protect a historical statute of General Robert E. Lee, who, by the way, never owned any slaves.

     The hate group media that serves as the Democrat PAC and the hate filled elite continue to ignore the long history of who has been in the forefront of the civil rights movement, who penned the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, who led the fight for civil rights, while the Democrats fought the civil rights efforts and the Party of Lincoln who truly believed ALL men were created equal, while they ignore the long list of their racist and segregationist heroes:  Sen. Robert Bird from Virginia, a leader in the KKK, and a long list of other Democrat leaders who were racist and segregationist who get a pass, and in fact were held up as heroes. See the rest of Pearce’s commentary at http://russellpearce.com/the-media-is-the.e-democrat-party/

Brian Reilly, Former LD22PC: The latest media propaganda developed to degrade and besmirch President Trump is his recent press conference at Trump Tower. According to the media, Trump didn’t adequately place the blame for the Charlottesville violence on white supremacist and neo Nazi organizations that were protesting the removal of Confederate memorials. When Trump finally named the far right groups, he also mentioned there were counter protestors on the far left that were just as culpable for their violent actions during the Charlottesville, Virginia demonstrations this past weekend. From various news reports, it would appear that Marco Rubio, John McCain and Mitt Romney are also taking the liberal media position that the speech of the far right groups was justifiably met with violence from the far left group called AntiFa, which in doublespeak means Anti-Fascist. Apparently, someone on the far left clubbing someone over the head is somehow more acceptable than someone on the far right clubbing a person over the head. Violence is violence. AntiFa is a far left group of anarchist thugs, dressed in color coordinated, black uniforms, complete with face masks and hoodies and red flags tacked onto two by four wood “flag poles” which are used to “peacefully” club people who disagree with them at their gatherings, which somehow spontaneously materialize across the country, (transportation and fees probably provided by George Soros or one of his many “social justice” organizations) and are now, not surprisingly, embraced by prominent Never-Trump Republicans and the media. The AntiFa thugs are change agents, no different than the anti-Vietnam War, Students for a Democratic Society (S.D.S.) of the late 1960s and early 1970s. If you were a student attending class at a major college or university during the Vietnam War, it was not unusual for a group of black clothed S.D.S. thugs to barge into a classroom and club students with two by four "flag poles." The bludgeoned students were attending class and not actively protesting in the streets against the war. Similar tactics of violence from a different era used to change public opinion and action. Violence and hate from any quarter, used to manipulate public and political discourse is not acceptable. Media propaganda is responsible for much of the hate and violence that we are now witnessing across America.

Volunteers Have Kept political parties Going For Decades. They are even more important in today’s world where people like leftist George Soros are pouring millions of dollars into efforts to turn red states to blue. Republicans can NOT afford to lose any congressional or legislative seats to the Dems in 2018. We need strong Republican leaders, not officials who bad-mouth the President at every turn. Nor do we need whimpering, whining Mitch McConnell in a leadership role in DC.– ft

Firearms Preemption Upheld: On August 17 the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the City of Tucson's policy of destroying forfeited and unclaimed firearms was in violation of state law.

GOP Data Training is offered for PCs every Thursday at GOP Headquarters, 3501 N 24th St in Phoenix. Contact Political Coordinator Kyle Pierce at Kyle.Pierce@azgop.org or call AZGOP HQ 602-957-7770 www.azgop.org

AZCDL Update: How is this possible?  Thank AzCDL:One of AzCDL's goals has been to strengthen state firearms preemption and add teeth to the law. In 2010, through AzCDL-requested legislation, we were successful in securing major improvements to the state's firearms preemption laws, including a ban on the destruction of seized firearms.  The ban on firearms destruction was strengthened again in 2012, through AzCDL-requested legislation, after cities like Tucson exploited loopholes in the wording of the law and continued to destroy firearms they obtained.  In 2013, with the passage of HB 2455, sponsored by Representative (and AzCDL Life Member) Brenda Barton (LD 6), all remaining loopholes in the law were closed.
In 2016, via the passage of AzCDL-supported Senate Bills (SB) 1266 and 1487, we were able to have cities held accountable for their continuing violation of state laws.  SB 1266, an NRA-requested bill, allows for injunctions, fines and civil suits when political subdivisions (e.g. cities) disregard preemption laws.  SB 1487 requires the Attorney General to investigate when one or more members of the Legislature allege that a county, city or town has violated state law or the Arizona Constitution.
Following the passage of SB 1487, Representative (and AzCDL Life Member)
Mark Finchem (LD 11) asked the Arizona Attorney General to investigate the City of Tucson for the routine destruction of firearms in violation of ARS 13-3108.F.  After the Arizona Attorney General found that Tucson may have been in violation of state law, the case was referred to the Arizona Supreme Court which, on August 17, unanimously upheld the statute and ruled against the city.
We thank our members who have supported us with their donations and emails to legislators that resulted in this momentous decision.  Want to see more laws that restore and protect your right to keep and bear arms?  Support AzCDL through your
membership and activism.

Duane and Frosty Taylor celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this weekend.

Dale Gohr of Clarkdale to Mitt Romney : Your on-line criticism of President Trump comments about the Charlottesville fiasco is beyond reprehensible. You are a blatant disaster and I voted for you twice. The major differences between voting for you and for Trump are substantial. You have always been a “Rockefeller Republican” aka known as a “RINO (Republican In Name Only)” or apt to side with the Liberals; thus, my voting for you in both cases was the poorest excuse known for voting for anyone. I voted for, and solidly stand with Donald J. Trump; because I firmly believe his ‘Ideology and Core Beliefs’ are aligned closely with mine and that what is claimed by you, the media and all the rest of his detractors is essentially, uninformed hogwash. Where is there any real evidence of Donald Trump’s racism, sexism, xenophobia or foreign government collusion? Who actually started the violence in Charlotteville? Was it the So-called Rally Organizers? Or ] the counter protesters? Trump denounced all forms of bigotry and violence, but it doesn’t matter what he says; the Hate Trump media and political factions will spin it to vilify Trump.I believe you are more closely aligned with the snakes like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake and the flamboyant financial and media manipulators,like George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg et;al; than weasels like Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Susan Collins Chuck. You make a lot of meaningless noise, but I your opinions of Trump are worthless. You may want to hold religiously to the status quo; those are the Ideas that are destroying the moral and financial fiber of our nation. Go Soak Your Head, you have apparently ceased to use it for anything productive.Trump called it right when he said, “Where does the removal of historical icons end?” I remember studying history and after the Civil War; I believe President Abraham Lincoln and General Grant held out an Olive Branch to the Confederate States and duly honored the patriotism, bravery and sacrifice of the Confederate Military. Are we expected to Forget and/or Change History? The intellectual honesty of the protesters tearing down a statue was on display; if there is anything more childish, senseless and dimwitted than this behavior, I’ve never seen. This performance would just be funny; if it weren’t so “Stupid”.

Marc Jeremiason LD26: It is not by extremists. It is by paid rioters. It matters. It means things are not as bad as the news makes it out to be. All we have to do is follow the money. Thanks for caring and sharing. Jeremiason refers tothe Nation Has Watched In Disgust

"If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents." - Steve Bannon.

President Trump will address the nation on Monday night (tonight) in a prime-time address on his plans for Afghanistan and South Asia, the White House announced Sunday. Trump will address the nation "on the path forward for America's engagement in Afghanistan and South Asia," the White House said in a statement. full story here

Wikileaks: Clinton-Bribed-6-Republicans To ‘Destroy Trump’Guess who is listed??

Marianne Ferrari, LD20 PC and State Committeeman: Is The Establishment Preparing To Sacrifice Chairman Lines?  The Absolute Necessity of Calling a RINO, a RINO : I, the person behind the effort to remove Chairman Lines, met Parralee Schneider, our 1st vice chair, for the first time, last Friday evening, at a meeting called for state committeemen in Pima County. Damien Kennedy, whom I believe to be another friend of the Establishment, also attended--after having emailed me recently to say that he is fine with removing Chairman Lines. In his email, he told me that he can understand doing that, but believes I’ve overstepped in calling for the removal of the 1st and 2nd vice chairs. I wondered at his apparent willingness to let Lines be removed. Perhaps they know they are in a very weak position, I thought, so are willing to sacrifice the chairman, thinking that the two vice chairs will retain the status quo. That is exactly what I am convinced they would do, thus preventing any change to come from our great effort. Hence the absolute necessity of calling for the removal of all three.

     My Conversation with Parralee and Damien - We began our conversation by pledging to remain cordial and polite, yet be frank and clear about our opinions and convictions. We all kept that pledge, so the evening ended in a friendly manner. Nevertheless, I thought the frankness on both sides revealed a great deal, not least the clear and pressing need to remove RINOs from all elected offices in our state party.

     I began by asking Parralee what her duties are, as 1st vice chair, something I don’t think she expected to be asked, because her answers seemed pretty vague, and repetitive. Parralee twice mentioned chairing committees, even though the only one she named, specifically, occurred while Robert Graham was still chair. When I asked her how often she must trek north to the 24th St. office, she engaged in such protracted hemming and hawing that it seemed clear to me that she must go quite rarely to 24th St., but didn’t want me to know that. In the end, Parralee’s responsibilities as an elected officer seemed quite few. She does proudly hold her title as 1st Vice Chair. I couldn’t help wondering, though: Is she a placeholder, just as Chairman Lines certainly seems to have been, as Treasurer under Graham? Is she a 1st vice chair-in-name-only? If Parralee is a placeholder, it would appear that we now have a pattern of possibly multiple elected officers who do not actually do the work assigned to their offices.

Congressman Trent Franks: Sheriff Arpaio has been a long-respected member of the law enforcement community who has dedicated his life to keeping Arizona communities safe. He has no prior convictions, no criminal record, no record of wrongs. In his twilight years, he deserves to retire peacefully and enjoy the satisfaction of a hard-earned and honorable retirement. Let us have an honest moment – this has been a political prosecution from the beginning. The real reason Arpaio is in legal trouble right now is because a Clinton-appointed judge decided to issue a judgment that contradicted every single witness that testified in the case. Pardoning Sheriff Arpaio would be celebrated by Arizonans that appreciate and respect a man who has accomplished so much for law and order in our state. It would absolutely be the right thing for President Trump to pardon Sheriff Joe.

LD21 Randy Miller: Upcoming elections for LD 21: It is a sad when you have two “conservative” Representatives incumbents in an LD, both early in their legislative careers, and given what they must work against, are doing a respectable job and you have Rick Gray, now running against them both. Rick had his stint in office and dropped out due to his political ambitions for a failed attempt at Corporation Commission, (ACC) and now has reared his head yet again. Why you ask?

    Last month when he announced his running he claimed it was because he wasn’t happy with what Tony Rivero was doing with the EPCORE and Sun City issue. I asked Rick, (in front of the group, knowing that the ACC was a separate entity under the AZ Constitution), what as a legislator he thought he can do about it? In true form of a politician he failed to answer the question and wasted air time for about 2 minutes. I again asked him the question and he spouted “I know a few guys on the ACC and I’ll get in their face”. Basically, Rick played on the emotions of the Sun City group, threw Rivero under the bus and had no basis for doing either.

    He has no authority as a legislator to do anything about the ACC and water rates and he had nothing specific to complain about with Rivero other than his own ambitions. Gray is risking our LD losing at least one seat to the Democrats by dividing our votes by three. We all know who to blame if this happens. I have asked Rick Gray in the past (who claims to be one of the few Constitutionalist at the capital and “making progress one inch at a time”) about constitutional concerns of federal mandates and his lack of standing up. He replied, “We can’t just wave the constitution at them”. Really, that is exactly what you should do, especially when you claim to be a constitutionalist and the constitution being the basis for everything a legislator does!

    Our party is divided by the ambitions of the political elite that don’t have our interest in mind. I ask each of us to seriously evaluate those running for office and ask the tough questions and vet each candidate on what they say and do. I believe, knowing both Rep Rivero and Rep Payne, that they are constitutionalist and honorable men willing to take on what is needed.

Coconino County Republican Chairman Jeff Oravits: Good news! The attempt to stop Elevate Flagstaff’s Sustainable Wages Act from going to the voters has been dismissed by Coconino County Superior Court.This ballot measure will move forward and hopefully undo some of the economic folly that far left progressive Flagstaff City Councilmember Eva Putzova has caused.

La Paz County Chairman Russell Sias: I am concerned about our country, our state, our party. We elected President Trump. We owe the office to which we elected him the respect due any president who has been duly elected by the people. Whether we agree or disagree with him and his policies is immaterial. We elected him. We, as individuals, now have an obligation to support him in his endeavors to rebuild our country. He hasn’t deceived us. We are obligated to support him.

    My concerns are about those who refuse to accept our elections and laws. You know, those deceivers out there that will do or say anything to take advantage. Sen. Jeff Flake, whom we discovered this week, comes from a family who built their ranch on the backs of illegal aliens, blatantly in violation of our laws. He, whom has defiantly refused to recognize Pres. Trump as our president, continues to knock him and what he is attempting to do for our country, all the while, claiming to be a fellow Republican, no less.

     Locally, we have our state party, being led by Chairman Jonathan Lines. This local cabal has obviously routinely ignored our bylaws, just as Sen. Flake’s family ignored our immigration laws for years. When I attempt to deal with Chairman Lines, who hasn’t answered one of my concerns, or Kathie Petsas, who lied to me about wanting my bylaw suggestions to be in our “standing rules” which don’t exist, or her co-chair, Cindy Coleman on the bylaws committee who has yet to answer my offer to discuss “in public” my concerns – after volunteering to do so privately, I become more concerned. When Chairman Lines expresses his utmost confidence in these two, and then allows the bylaws committee which they co-chair to be off limits to most of us, I begin to feel, not at a part of a team, but as someone being intentionally manipulated. None understand the 1st amendment!

    Fair warning, I do not intimidate easily! When folks start lying to me, not telling me what their objectives are, denying our 1st amendment rights, I usually push back. Till then, I am a pretty laid back sort of fellow! To the manipulators I have mentioned above, stop with the manipulative nonsense, and be open and honest with us, the grass roots of not only this party, but this state, and this country. Don’t do so, go find yourselves another job.

Packers-Coach- Pisses-Off- Racist-Players; To Stop Protests McCarthy said he addresses the anthem and his expectation of proper decorum during it with the players via a preseason presentation. “It’s something that I’ve done each and every year here since I’ve been the head coach,” McCarthy said. “We have a PowerPoint presentation that you update (each year), and you always try to deliver the message clearly to the team. Our approach has always been to give the history and the understanding of what the national anthem means, and why it’s played before any National Football League game, particularly how (the tradition) started after World War II. I go through the whole history and the importance of what it means to you personally.”

A Third of Republicans Want McConnell, Ryan OutLate last week, President Trump criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell over the Senate's failure to pass a health care repeal bill before the August recess, raising the question of whether the Kentucky Senator should step down from his position. Even one third of his fellow Republicans think that's a good idea.

Welcome To Arizona President Trump

UPDATE:  President Trump Will Be Flying Into The Marine Base in Yuma between 1 & 2 pm today, Tues., Aug 21. Colorado River Tea Party Supporters of the President plans to gather at the fairgrounds [corner of 3E & 32nd St.] across from the base to welcome him were cancelled this morning  due to security and lack of access to the fairgrounds. Contact: CRTP Chr Sally Kizer or Secrtary Cora Lee Schingnitz coloradoriverteaparty@yahoo.com928-210-1219.

President Donald Trump will hold a rally at 7 pm., Tues., Aug 22 at the Convention Center, 100 N. 3rd St., Phoenix, AZ 85004. Get your tickets hereDoors open at 4 pm. Limit personal items and arrive early to expedite entrance into the venue.

LD2 State Committeeman Leiann Anderson: The Friday night Pima County meeting was extremely revealing.  AZGOP 1st Vice-Chair Parralee Schneider used the words “wacko” and “power grab” to describe former and current tea party members and those mounting the recall effort.  There is no doubt that the governing documents of the AZGOP are being ignored in the halls of state leadership.  Foremost in my mind is Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s warning regarding leftist billionaire George Soros planning another redistricting nightmare in Texas as was orchestrated in Arizona in 2010 by Colleen Mathis and Ken Strasma of Strategic Telemetry.  We have to be ready in 2020 and before with knowledgeable leadership, committeemen! Recall AZGOP Chairman Lines signature sheets are available here in Pima County. Contact Leiann Anderson 520 289-9600 or binderosa10@gmail.com.

Activist Nancy Russell Plencner: Sunday Dan Nowicki a seasoned political writer for the Arizona Republic managed to write 25 column inches of copy about our President's visit to Phoenix on Tuesday.  He managed to write all those words without ever using the proper title, President Trump.  He wrote about Trump this and Trump that, as though our President were some sort of hack salesman passing through Phoenix.  There is, and should always be, a huge distinction between writing about candidate Trump and the President of the United State of America, Donald J. Trump and I for one would appreciate the Arizona Republic and especially their political writer to use the correct title. By the way, when no longer in office Donald Trump will be called Mr. President for the rest of his life. President Trump will join today's other five living Presidents in carrying that honored title.

Bruce M Piepho, LD14 Cochise County State Committeeman: Mitt Romney criticism of President Trump's comments about the Charlottesville fiasco is beyond reprehensible. Romney has always been a “Rockefeller Republican” aka a “RINO (Republican In Name Only).” I voted for Donald J. Trump; because I believe his ‘Ideology and Core Beliefs’ are aligned closely with mine. The Hate Trump media, progressive Democrats and RINO political factions will spin anything to vilify Trump. All are aligned with snakes like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake and the flamboyant manipulators, like George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg et;al. And then weasels like Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Susan Collins Chuck make a lot of meaningless noise. This nonsense would be funny; if it weren’t so: “Stupid”! Keeping Johnathan Lines as Chairman of the Arizona State Republican Party (AZGOP) would be stupid. I agree 100% with La Paz County Chairman Russell Sias comments in the 8-21-17-briefs and believe Fake Flake must not be re-elected in 2018. I also support President Trump. Fake Flake is a forever Never Trumper. Replacing Flake would be big step to draining the Washington D.C. Swamp. Chairman Jonathan Lines needs to be sent home just like Flake. If you as a Republican or concerned Independent do not have a GOP State Committeeman signing the recall petition for an AZGOP Special Meeting on 9/30/2017, find him or her and request them to sign the petition. AZGOP does not exist for John McCain or Jeff Flake or Johnathan Lines or Matthew Kenney or Kory Langhofer (John McCain's lawyer). More at drain-the-azgop-swamp

Russell Sias,La Paz County Chairman to AZGOP 2VCCindy Coleman: Glad you finally responded, even if it’s without answers to our questions. At the very least, we are communicating. As our first, maybe second, communication in this public forum, you now are suggesting I am manipulating you. I am truly sorry that you feel that way, but I know of no other way to resolve your seeming ongoing trust issues with me. I would remind you that it was your partner that suggested my bylaw changes would be better suited to our “standing rules” which are non-existent!

     I thought I was perfectly clear that I would not participate in a “private” dialog with you 8-21-17-briefs since we, as a general public, have been deceived. Going public appears to me to be the only way to let all know what is going on. So, I am glad you have decided to respond. Maybe, if we try to get Sen. McCain to participate, we might even learn why, for many years, he led the repeal effort in regard to ObamaCare, and then when the opportunity arose to actually do something about it, he voted down the effort. Maybe one day! Let’s return to issues closer to home for us both:

     Why have you and Kathie Petsas resolved to disallow communication between bylaw committee members for so long? Seems to me, that if members were communicating, that meetings would go much smoother, and accomplish much more if members could come to the meeting with some ideas in mind to discuss. Unless of course, the whole idea is for you and your crew to be able to control the meeting outcome. Is that so? Forgive me for being suspicious, but if I were in control, and wanted to maintain control, this is one thing I would do. That, and appoint a chairman, instead of letting the committee elect their own chairman, as is normally done.

    My second issue: The secretary bylaws state that “...He/she shall ... relinquish them to his/her successor.” Who decided to circumvent this “relinquishing” to the new secretary? Who decided that she could not be responsible as she sees fit, as the previous secretary has done? This bylaw clearly has not been honored. We are, after all, now about eight months into the new term of office. Again, thanks for responding! Editor’s Note: Sias is responding Coleman’s Note that reads: “Your manipulation of my recent email, while your right, was a breach of trust. A conversation may have been helpful in resolving that concern. I'll pass on your offer.”

Computer Repair Owner Nohl Rosen reports that his business - Panther TEK - came under attack online this past weekend for supporting President Trump. Rosen says he discovered unflattering and untrue reviews when checking the company's Google business and Facebook pages. One reviewer claimed that Rosen is a "nazi Trump supporter" and reviewer alleged a laptop was returned with porn on it. Rosen says he only goes to a customer’s location so they are aware of the work performed on their computer. Rosen, of Wickenburg, said. "I've been going on-site to the customer since the day my company was established and that hasn't changed. These reviewers are not customers. It's obvious they're using fake names to post unflattering reviews because I support our President, our law enforcement or proudly fly the American flag. I won't apologize for being a conservative," Rosen said . Rosen reported the fake reviews to Google in an effort to get them removed. Contact: 480-980-8541 or www.panthertekit.com.

Councilman Sal DiCiccio: Phoenix needs solutions and that’s why I continue to fight for your support in District 6. When we saw a proliferation of drug houses in Phoenix neighborhoods I fought to enforce the laws in place that would help the neighborhoods stay safe and help the individuals in recovery to actually get the care and support they deserve.

Congresswoman Martha McSally will meet this morning with Edith King, a 94 year old World War II veteran and resident of Sierra Vista, to celebrate her casework success. In March, Mrs. King approached McSally’s office to ask for assistance in obtaining an earlier effective date on a service-connected pension which had been pending for almost two years. Within one month of learning of Mrs. King’s situation, McSally successfully expedited her claim with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and Mrs. King received a back pay award of $15,238.

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel  in response to President Trump's address: "Tonight, President Trump took a bold step forward by asserting America’s strength worldwide and making crystal clear that we will no longer lead from behind," said McDaniel. "In announcing a long-term vision and strategic plan in Afghanistan, the president is showing the American people our national security is his top priority and requires a clearly defined policy. Thanks to President Trump and his dedicated team, we will strengthen America’s presence in one of the most vulnerable areas of the world."

Vice President Mike Pence: "President Trump has no higher priority than the safety and security of the American people. Since the very first day of our administration, he has taken decisive action to protect our citizens, our country and our very way of life — and on Monday, President Trump announced a new strategy for addressing threats from Afghanistan and South Asia that will enhance the security of our homeland and protect our people from those who would do us harm.

    "America must prevent terrorists from regaining a foothold in Afghanistan — the country from where al-Qaeda, aided by the Taliban, planned and directed the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Yet the previous administration publicly placed an arbitrary end date on military operations in Afghanistan, enabling the Taliban to bide its time and begin a renewed campaign to reconquer its lost territory. We need only look at Iraq, and the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria following the last administration’s withdrawal of U.S. forces, to see where this path leads. President Trump has reversed that policy.  And important, he has ensured that our armed forces will have the resources and authorization they need in order to succeed.

     "President Trump has determined that conditions — not arbitrary timetables — will guide our strategy. The previous administration alerted our enemies ahead of time by announcing troop numbers and timelines, something President Trump has wisely refused to do. A stable Afghanistan will mean a safer America. To achieve this goal, President Trump’s new strategy for South Asia also calls for a shift in America’s policy towards Pakistan, a place he refuses to ignore.

     "Finally, the president's strategy for South Asia involves a stronger strategic partnership with India — the world’s largest democracy and a key security and economic partner. India has made important contributions towards Afghanistan’s stability and security, and India has also pledged critical support to Afghanistan’s development needs. Because they directly affect America’s interests, America will continue to work closely with New Delhi on these issues. President Trump’s strategy for South Asia will undo the failed policies of the past and put the safety and security of the American people first. And with the president’s leadership, with the courage of our armed forces, and with the prayers of our people: America will be stronger, safer and more secure than ever before."

Frank Riggs, Candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction: My years working as a police officer and deputy sheriff led me into education.  As a street cop and criminal investigator, I came into contact with repeat offenders of a young age who had engaged in delinquent behavior as juveniles and didn't have the education and skills to live productive lives. Law enforcement is primarily reactive; education is proactive.  While I'm proud of the work I did as a patrolman, investigator and crime prevention specialist, I came to realize that education is essential to ending the cycle of crime and to creating opportunity for all young people to live responsible and productive lives.  As Frederick Douglass said, "It's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. "That realization led me to run for the school board in my home community.  After serving two terms as the board president, I ran for and was elected to Congress.  During my three terms in Congress, I chaired the House of Representatives' Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education and authored laws on charter schools and special education.  I also co-sponsored legislation to ban federal funding for national tests and the "Dollars to the Classroom Act," block-granting the K-12 education programs and funding back to the states with the stipulation that 95 cents of every dollar had to go into the classroom.  This legislation was consistent with state and local control of K-12 education...and the 10th Amendment! Learn more about my record and my plans for reforming and improving K-12 education in Arizona at www.riggsforaz.com

US Senate candidate Dr Kelli Ward’s Op Ed in USA jeff-flake-trying-to-have-it-both-ways; kelli-ward-editorials-debates

US Senate candidate Dr. Kelli Ward:"The American People Have High Expectations for Congress and we are continually disappointed with the lack of results from career insiders like Mitch McConnell, Jeff Flake, and John McCain. #GOP voters were promised that if we delivered the House, the Senate, and the White House to Republicans, we'd see action, and instead we've gotten finger pointing at President Trump from the Senate Majority leader. The era of excuses is over! It should not take decades to deliver on promises made. It's time for #BigLeague conservative changes in 2018."

Incumbent Sen Jeff Flake: For my entire career, I’ve been guided by the Goldwater principles of limited government, economic freedom, and individual responsibility. These are values I learned growing up on my family’s ranch in Snowflake, Arizona…and I will never abandon them.Today’s Republican Party is at risk of abandoning these values. Our party has taken up an unfamiliar banner-populism, protectionism, resentment, and chaos – values that have never been our own. I have been troubled watching this shift over the last several years and that’s why I am driven to speak up and to remind Republicans of the conservative principles that have served us so well. I’ve been energized by the response and the surge or support, but I need your help to keep the momentum going.

Republican Briefs

The Trump-Pence Team held an enthusiastic rally in Phoenix last night in the convention hall full of cheering supporters. Trumps slapped the hands of Sen. John McCain and Sen Jeff Flake without mentioning their names – both senataors are critical of him.  He  praised former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio– hinting at a pardon. Trump reprimanded the national media for their bias coverage of his Presidency and spoke highly of the military, border patrol and other uniformed response groups such as firemen. And he praised Phoenix law enforcement officers who maintained crowd control on streets surrounding the conference center. Rock and bottles were reportedly thrown at police officers, but officers quickly brought scattered incidents under control with the disbursal of pepper bombs/smoke canisters/tear gas that sent protestors scattering shortly after President’s Trumps speech. Four arrests and few, if any,  injuries were reported. Thanks to strong police presence in downtown Phoenix, the city experienced little, if any, of the violence and destruction witnessed at large public gatherings in other cities across the nation over the past few weeks. -ft

While Enroute To Phoenix, President Trump Stopped At The Marine Base in Yuma to meet with the military and border patrol officials. He is scheduled to leave Phoenix, heading for Nevada this morning.

Former AZGOP Chairman Tom Morrissey: I taped an interview in Phoenix with HBO Vice News Channel for broadcast at 7:30 pm., Wed., Aug 23 on an HBO channel, defending President Trump against the Progressive Left and the Progressive Ruling Class Establishment Elite in the Republican Party.  The topics I discussed were, Senators McCain and Flake and their efforts to unseat our president, the current and former leadership of the AZ GOP and the accomplishments of President Trump without the help of the Establishment.  We also talked about the President allowing the generals to run our military as a fighting machine and not a social engineering experiment.

Activist Nancy Plencner: Thank you for allowing my comments to see the light of day....your publication is a shining beacon in a very dark literary world.  If you could add a sports column to the Briefs I could thankfully cancel my subscription to the Arizona Republic

Former Maricopa County Republican Chairman Lyle Tuttle to AZGOP First VC Parralee Schneider: Parralee, I FULLY support the Lines recall - do you actually think I am a "power-grabbing wacko"? There are solid reasons for the recall. I spent about an hour on the phone yesterday with one of the Board members who could not even come close to answering my questions. (Just for the record, I have been out of state with very little one-on-one contact -- hard to do when the 'powers that be REFUSE to share with me the names and contact information of the Board, my own district's State Committeemen, etc...) When I asked my questions, all I got was “I don't know, I wasn't there, it was not brought up,” etc....is the Board a flock of sheep?? Does ANYONE dare ask some simple questions and receive an answer?? Or are they called "out of order" and shouted down?? You are not a neophyte, and we have known each other for a long time.....what has happened to the Republican rule of law here in AZ??? You were ELECTED and have a RESPONSIBILITY to stand up for the PC's of AZ.....please do so! For example, you know Linda White - please help with the transfer of info from her TO the new ELECTED State Secretary.....Ask the simple questions and share the answers re other issues....for example, to allow the donors to demand who the new Exec Dir should be if we want their money is NOT correct - or do you think it is ok? Should the AZGOP be a whore for their money?

Editor’s Note: Please keep opinion pieces to 400 words. –ft

The Arizona Game and Fish Department is seeking volunteers to assist with fall spotlighting efforts to help document the population of endangered black-footed ferrets in Aubrey Valley and on the Double O Ranch, both near Seligman.  As part of the recovery effort, the department has scheduled two five-night spotlighting events – Sept. 7-11 and Oct. 5-9 – and a three-night spotlighting event Nov. 9-11. The spotlighting method involves using high-powered lights to locate and identify black-footed ferrets. Their eyeshine is reflected by the spotlight and helps surveyors with identifying and locating these elusive, nocturnal carnivores. Volunteers must have the ability to stay attentive from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. while spotlighting for black-footed ferrets and use, or learn how to use, a Global Positioning System (GPS). Volunteers can sign up by e-mailing azferret@azgfd.gov -- with “fall spotlighting” in the subject line – by Sept. 1 for next month’s project, Sept. 30 for the October event, and Nov. 3 for the November event. Space is limited.

Councilman Sal DiCiccio: Phoenix needs solutions and that’s why I continue to fight for your support in District 6. When we saw a proliferation of drug houses in Phoenix neighborhoods I fought to enforce the laws in place that would help the neighborhoods stay safe and help the individuals in recovery to actually get the care and support they deserve.

Frank Riggs, Candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction: "A one size fits all education system all but guarantees that some students will be left out and ultimately left behind." Arizona's new standards, led by the incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction, are virtually unchanged from the old standards, i.e., Common Core by any other name: a-picture-is-worth-a-thousand-common-core-standards What was once a federal mandate is now a state mandate.  I campaigned in 2014 on a promise to stop Common Core.  As your next Superintendent of Public Instruction, I will work with the State Legislature to do just that.  Contact: www.riggsforaz.com.
