Arizona Freedom Alliance Its surprising how much you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit
Many of you know that HB2826, the Bill that will consolidate the elections so they are held at the same time everywhere in the state, except for school bond issues, is poised for a vote to pass. Why is this important? Because this Bill will take the power out of the hands of the Unions who are instrumental in getting some city elections to be held in the dead of summer when Unions have an advantage. It's one of the reasons the Unions dominate in City Council races and are nearly impossible to unseat. When was the last time the Unions favored the will of the people?? Unfortunately, Senate President Steve Pierce, Yavapai County, and Senator Linda Gray, currently in Leg. District 10 which will become LD1 with the new maps, are trying to do an end run around the Bill to keep it from passing. Why? We are calling on everyone to call both Senators Pierce (602-926-5584 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 602-926-5584 end_of_the_skype_highlighting) and Gray (602-926-3376 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 602-926-3376 end_of_the_skype_highlighting) and tell them in no uncertain terms that they MUST vote YES on this bill. Tell them if they don't, they will not only never get tea party support again but they we will actively work for their opponent in their next race. Sen. Gray is termed out after this term and will be moving to Yavapai County. Sen. Pierce is termed out the next term. It's likely Linda Gray intends to step right into Pierce's seat!!! NOT SO FAST! The tea parties will mount a massive campaign against her then and Sen. Pierce now unless they protect the people from the unions NOW!!! If you are in their districts, BE SURE TO TELL THEM. If you are in the new LD1, BE SURE TO TELL THEM!! Folks, this is a critical vote and they are the reason this Bill has not yet passed. Regardless of whether you are in Maricopa County, Yavapai County or anywhere else in this state, this will eventually affect YOU in your city or county. So your help is needed to move this Bill. After you call them, send them a follow-up email with something like We want you to pass amended HB2826 in the subject line. No other message is needed! This must happen THIS session because it may never get to a vote after this year. And this session is quickly coming to an end. For liberty, The AFA TEAm |
