AZ VOTE SUMMARY

In Arizona citizens can amend the state Constitution and statutes by direct action.

Props numbered in the 100s are constitutional amendments.
Props numbered in the 200s are citizen initiatives to create or amend statutes.
Props numbered in the 300s are proposals from our lawmakers to voters to pass or amend laws.
Props numbered in the 400s are local proposals to pass or amend laws (none here).

We have ten this year:

128 NO
129 YES
130 MAYBE
131 NO
132 YES
209 NO
211 NO
308 NO
309 YES
310 NO

Funny thought—since some people will vote NO on all propositions out of frustration (and ignorance), it makes sense to word your proposition so a NO vote gets you a yes, and you win. Say what? e.g., Prop X: Do you want you taxes to go down? NO! (tax increase); Do you want government to protect your right to arms? NO! (Confiscation); Should we protect our borders? NO! You get the idea. Study the propositions and choose wisely.

Propositions for Constitutional Amendments

128 NO.

Let the legislature change citizen-enacted constitutional amendments, but only if the state or U.S. Supreme Courts have found the amendments are either illegal or unconstitutional. Right now, legislators are banned from acting on our citizen actions even if the proposals were poorly prepared and legally defective. This would fix that.

However: an obscured deceptive clause allows them to abandon original intent, and change the meaning and intent with no control of any kind, including spending money allocated. This detestable element, granting unbridled power legislators should not have should not be there. This measure would be OK, correcting a real problem, if only they left out the “we can do whatever we want” clause (¶14).

129 YES.

Ballot initiatives must cover a single issue, a good idea, instead of sandwiching a really good idea in with some bad ones, to get the bad ones passed. The state legislature is supposed to act this way too, but they sometimes don’t, with great excuses. This isn’t perfect, because who decides if a proposal is single issue (schools, water, guns, medicine)? Answer: legislators. If they get it wrong, their standard answer is, “so sue us.” The Arizona Supreme Court said initiatives don’t have to be single issue, anything goes, this overturns that.

130 MAYBE.

Organizes existing property tax exemptions, OK if done well. Also exempts disabled veterans (as defined) from property taxes (and widows and widowers). Great idea, but how about the rest of us? You never own your home, you in effect rent from the government, even after paying your mortgage. Expect disabled veterans (disabled in service related event or afterwards) to start owning new property in their names.

131 NO.

Creates the office of Lieutenant Governor of the same party as Governor. You’d vote for both at once (not a choice, a team). Has a lot of support because if the Governor becomes unable to serve (prison, controversy, injury, death, mental case, traveling out-of-state, etc.) the Secretary of State (SOS) becomes Governor. Outside moneyed interests have made a campaign out of electing SOSs from different parties to help upset the voter’s will. Arizona has suffered this several times (right now SOS Katie Hobbs, democrat, would take over if Doug Ducey (republican) left office). Fixing that is the driving force.

On reflection though, this means expanding the size and cost of government. If you support that raise your hands. See? No hands. Amazing how good people seek to fix a problem by pressing for more government! The Lt. Gov. position will need office space (nice office space), a personal assistant (or dozens), supplies, desks, equipment, toilet paper, the works. And armed guards, with training, an armorer and security details. Trips to Hawaii and Aruba for conferences, no end to what our electeds come up with. In Texas, the Lt. Gov. is an outspoken player, good, but still... Elect a same-party governor and competent SOS. End the problem by voting right, not by expanding government. By the way—the new Lt. Gov. would control the Dept. of Administration, with fingers in all pies, and a budget of $2,400,000,000 ($2.4 billion).

132 YES.

Prevents tax-increase proposals on the ballot from passing with less than 60% of the vote, a very high hurdle. Currently only 50% is required. No more taxation! This one seems to be a total great idea with no visible down side. The takers, groups and people feeding at the public trough are totally against it, makes it harder for them to get stuff.

Propositions for new statutes

209 NO.

Allows people in debt to skip payment, shifting the burden to tax payers. Who would even suggest such a thing? Rationale, it might help fight inflation (say what?) and make it harder to get credit (since payment is not assured). California money from SCIU is trying to pushing this on us.

211 NO. NO. NO.

Require private groups to disclose their donors (if they exceed a spending threshold). Violates the right to privacy, infringes on the right freely to assemble. Would allow unscrupulous players to directly and personally attack donors, especially for controversial issues like abortion, gun ownership, taxation, religion, charities, school choice, any disfavored positions or beliefs. Only one party proposes monstrosities like this, planning for harassment, manipulate our politics with intimidation and threats, I won’t state the obvious, you know who.

308 NO.

Force taxpayers to subsidize illegal aliens (undocumented workers, refugee migrants, unpapered immigrants, got aways, repeat removals, dreamers, etc.), at our universities, the same as in-state students tuition cost. Higher out-of-state tuition prices make sense, would still be available. If American citizens from out of state must pay out-of-state rates, there is no rational to let people here illegally pay less. Pay the same as citizens from out-of-state pay.

309 YES.

The Arizonans for Voter ID Act. Forbids voting in person without valid, government-issued photo ID, and includes requirements to ensure legitimate voting by mail. We still have voting spread out over a month, and other problems, that need to be fixed next time or by the legislature.

310 NO.

It’s a tax increase. “But it’s small, only 1/10th of one percent (0.01%),” you may hear. No. “But it’s for the fire districts statewide!” Still no. “But it only raises $200 million and they need it!” No. Cut waste. Trim bureaucracy. Spend more wisely.

Retention of Judges—NO to all

They don’t support fully informed juries (remember the John Peter Zenger trial).
If all of them are tossed, we start fresh, shake the system to its roots—
that’s totally unlikely, this is more of a protest to have low retention votes.
“In the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls.” –Lenny Bruce

Fix the endemic problems in the judiciary: Bad arrests, overcrowding, plea bargain threats, almost no jury trials, charge stacking, prosecutors in bed with the system, constitutional defense denied, voir dire (legalese for jury packing); so many judges may get 99% approvals in the booklet, but that doesn’t reflect the state of affairs in the Justice Dept. now does it...

*Background and Details Oh -- is it too late?

Did you vote already?

You would vote differently now that you’ve read this memo?

Our Constitution leaves the “Times, Places and Manner” of holding elections up to the States (subject to Congress to prevent States from screwing around too much.) To bring order to the system, in 1875, Congress enacted 2 USC §7, the familiar first Tuesday after the first Monday in November guideline:

“The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election, in each of the States and Territories of the United States...”

We have now gravitated to this bizarre (and in my opinion unhealthy) phenomenon of a stretched out election, where newscasters and politicians rant “We’re in the middle of an election!” for weeks on end, and use that as an excuse for all sorts of shenanigans, as you’re seeing on nightly broadcasts (can’t really say “news casts”). It's so bad it almost qualifies as a plot to undermine the nation.

The nation is supposed to rise up as one, on a single day, and choose its leaders. Simple, clean, final, honest, done. Get the count in the morning. The gold standard for legitimate fair elections. What sort of unethical malfeasants could put us in this election season miasma?

Instead, we have this mess going on literally for months, dragging the vote out into a process. “Millions have already voted!” partisans bleat, and one candidate for president came close to death, potentially wasting all the ballots of those who voted from him... what then? One primary candidate here quit but not before he got 20,000 votes, all wasted.

The election is coming from letter carriers and the mailbox, instead of voters and the ballot box. Illinois had a candidate for governor (Blagojevich) convicted and imprisoned on felony charges, but still gathering early votes! Don’t vote early and waste yours. Besides, all the juicy dirt comes out near the end.

Don’t vote early! I have to tell you this? The parties tell you to vote early. They’re afraid you’ll forget. They figure you’re idiots. They earn your distrust. You haven’t even gotten this analysis until now. And I might change it as I learn more. What, have you got shpilkese? (Ants in the pants.) Are you fully informed? No, if you vote before Election Day.

As you likely know by now, I don’t endorse or oppose candidates—just no way to know if they are or will remain good or bad. McCain as you may recall seemed really good, then wrote a bill to secretly and totally close down gun shows and arrest the promoters https://www.gunlaws.com/GunShows/index.htm. You’re on your own on candidate selections (though I will file a complete ballot of course). Most folks just go party line, and that divide (Democrat/Republican, Left/Right, Liberal/Conservative) is beautifully explained here: https://www.gunlaws.com/TheConstitutionalDivide.htm. Give it the five minutes. Some people call that the control party vs. the freedom party, an oversimplification.

I can however study the propositions, and make a reasonably informed choice. Now you have what I found. I remain open to change. So don’t vote early. But do vote. You’re an American. You can do this.

Permission to circulate this is gladly granted.

AZ Illegal Safe House

This is a few blocks away from where I live in Arizona. I got the memo by email, same as you get these sorts of thing all the time.
It seemed impossible, so I did what any reasonable person would do. I drove over to see if it's true. It's true.

Here is the memo exactly as I received it.

Subject: Fw: ILLEGAL SAFE HOUSE

On Monday night, The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson investigated the Homewood Suites in Scottsdale, Arizona after receiving a tip that it was an illegal immigrant safe house. The hotel is located at 9880 N Scottsdale Rd.

When Conradson arrived at the hotel, every entrance was barricaded, and he had to park down the street. He walked up to the hotel and greeted some officers.

This is incredible.
There’s a safe house for illegal immigrants being secretly maintained without our knowledge – until now. Conradson did some digging.

Conradson: what’s going on here?
LES Officer: You actually need to leave the property it’s actually a closed hotel.
Conradson: Oh, so what’s going on?
LES Officer: This is a private property man.
Conradson: But what’s going on?
LES Officer: If you want to get information for that you need to go to endeavors.org.
Conradson: I heard that they were harboring illegal immigrants here. Is that true?
LES Officer: You can go to the endeavors.org website and they’ll give you as much information as they can.
Conradson: Who do you work for?
LES Officer: I’m contracted with LES, it’s a law enforcement contract service company.
Conradson: Why aren’t people allowed on the premises?
LES Officer: You can go to endeavors.org to get information for that other than that this is closed this is private property from the company that’s here.
The Gateway Pundit

Guess what the story behind Endeavors is…
ENDEAVORS.ORG is the website for Family Endeavors, a San Antonio nonprofit tied to the Biden administration. They received an $87 million no-bid contract in March to clothe and shelter illegal immigrants. They then received ANOTHER contract for $530 MILLION shortly after.

It’s all been masterminded by the Biden Administration right under the noses of Americans living in Scottsdale.

But there’s more. A Selrico Services food van pulled out of the parking lot. Selrico is a food service company that is also based in San Antonio. They must be contracted to provide food for those in this country illegally.

So not only are these illegal aliens being housed at taxpayer expense, they’re being fed at our expense too! They get all this free and then we’re sent the bill through taxation. Conradson wanted to find out who specifically was organising all this.


Conradson called the local police station since he could not get any answers from the representatives at the hotel.

Conradson: I would like to know what is going on at the Homewood Suites on Scottsdale Rd. and Mountainview. Do you have any information about what’s going on there?
Dispatcher: Nothing outside of the fact that it’s being monitored by ICE and that we have police presence there from other agencies 24/7.
Conradson: Who is managing the hotel?
Dispatcher: I don’t have that information exactly
Conradson: But ICE is in there 24/7?
Dispatcher: Yeah, it’s being monitored by them and outside agencies.
Conradson: Do you know what the outside agencies are?
Dispatcher: I think it’s just a mix of all Arizona state agencies.
Conradson: Are they communicating with you on how many people they’re bringing into Scottsdale, into the hotel?
Dispatcher: I don’t have any specifics on it
Conradson: Where do I find more information?
Dispatcher: You could try to look up any of the ICE numbers online and see if they give any further.
Conradson: Do you have any information on exactly what’s going on? I mean obviously, they’re harboring illegal immigrants, but do you know anything else?
Dispatcher: No we don’t have any further.

The Deep State inside Arizona is a part of this, and so is ICE and the police. It’s all one unified effort to keep this a secret from the American people.

Here’s exactly what is at stake.

This is atrocious. Over 600 MILLION DOLLARS are funding this operation to flood red counties with illegal residents and brand new Democrat voters, and it’s costing the taxpayers money and it’s putting the American people in DANGER.

Instead of protecting American citizens, officers are being paid by our tax dollars to protect non-citizens who are invading our communities.

The globalist elites who govern this country are attempting to change the population so that it votes in the way that they prefer.

They don’t care about any of the Americans currently living here, they just want to replace them with people from other countries.

And they’re doing their best to keep it under wraps.
So share this article far and wide to raise awareness about what they’re doing, and let’s hope we can put a stop to this!

I hope you read this article completely. These are our tax dollars going to waste...so the Democrats can get more votes.

AZ Ballot election audit

Although complete results of the AZ Ballot election audit have not been released yet, state Senate testimony did reveal several interesting facts on 7/15/21, televised -- some number of apparently counterfeit ballots were received (wrong paper, samples shown). And 74,000 more absentee ballots were received than were sent out to voters by the Secretary of State's office, which keeps detailed counts. Hmmm. I blew a gasket when I heard that! Smoking gun, OMG. Sen. president Karen Fann, conducting the hearing in a very very matter-of-factly way asked how they could account for that apparently startling item and the respondents (former Secy of State and highly regarded Ken Bennett and one other) said they could not, no plausible explanation seems to exist, they are looking further but it doesn't look good. It was all calm and collected, very businesslike. The auditor's standard of "beyond reproach" was operating, even if their name is non-plussed from a PR standpoint (Cyber Ninjas). Everything they did is on video multiple times. Recall CNN's mantra, "there is no fraud, big lie, total waste of time and taxpayer money, these are not the droids you're looking for," before any results were known. Double Hmmm. The hearing moved on to the next unusual result. There were many. The AZ Senate hearings are all recorded and available for public viewing online.

Mass Media missed this story for reasons that were unclear at press time.

First draft, 10/21/2020

If people send me valid comments I may change my outlook and re-post.

The "Other" John McCain

More scandals and controversy than I can fit here

His own party censured him, remember?
Can you say, "Lincoln Savings and Loan"?

The lamestream media told you:

John S. McCain, the proud naval aviator who climbed from depths of despair as a prisoner of war in Vietnam to pinnacles of power as a Republican congressman and senator from Arizona and a two-time contender for the presidency, died on Saturday at his home in Arizona. He was 81. ... A son and grandson of four-star admirals who were his larger-than-life heroes, Mr. McCain carried his renowned name into battle and into political fights for more than a half-century... (NY Times)

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Though the adulation poured on John McCain post mortem is indeed impressive, it overlooks a few salient items, from the proud naval aviator who graduated 894th in his class of 899:

It seems to me the fact that he was censured by the main county of his own party in his own state is worthy of mention, and wasn't; the Senator faced a recall effort with all the earmarks of success right up until he was saved by the 9-11 attacks that froze out all activity of that sort:

McCain narrowly skated from criminal responsibility in the Lincoln Savings and Loan Scandal that cost 23,000 people their life savings, with a total cost to taxpayers in the billions:

His involvement in the deaths in the USS Forrestal fire remain satisfactorily explained for Snopes and military brass, but leave a dark cloud over the man that some comrades-in-arms speak of in hushed whispers; his votes "across the aisle" on Obamacare, election reform and more made him a "maverick" hero to democrats but not to his republican constituency in his home state; his vaunted "gun-show loophole bill" SB890 was carefully written to completely end gun shows altogether -- a point that went unreported -- but the bill was lamented by mass media when it was defeated https://www.gunlaws.com/GunShows/index.htm; and of course the question has been repeatedly asked but cannot be answered in a politically correct way -- why aren't all other prisoners who made it out alive heroes too?

For eight months our state was without a Senator and a vote, that's really serious -- no representation -- and no reporters seemed to care the entire time. In its place, anonymous reports and releases in his photoless name from the back hills written in a way that can't be verified, right up to his demise -- along with news reports that mainly said he's fighting valiantly and misleadingly giving hope of recovery, unverified, by relatives, surely emblematic of handout journalism.

Perish this thought, and Mr. Trump may not have phrased it for sensitive ears, but the president's instincts were impeccable: Heroes do something outstanding and live to tell about it -- or not. Prisoners of war are a separate distinguishable class of people. Both earn gratitude we can never repay, endured a life we can never comprehend, and both deserve our admiration, respect and honor. They are not the same thing. And that does matter.

FROM THE GANG OF EIGHT. SINCE WHEN DOES CONGRESS NEED GANGS?

Trump is imprecise -- it's not fake news, it's phony news.
(Fake = a lie. Phony = deceptive.)

RAINBOW CROSSWALKS INSULT EVERYONE

Gay Community Thinks Crosswalks Are Political Billboards

What color should Black Lives Matter get?

Dancing in the streets about to become a real safety hazard

The lamestream media told you:

"Phoenix values and embraces its LGBTQ brothers and sisters," mayor Stanton said in a news release. "Phoenix is committed to ensuring equal treatment and rights for everyone and showing our support because we know diversity makes us stronger."

The installation of the rainbow crosswalks in Phoenix were requested by the Phoenix Pride Community Foundation, one-n-ten, and Aunt Rita's Foundation after contacting the mayor's office. These groups have offered to cover the costs of materials, installation and ongoing maintenance for the rainbow-painted portions of the crosswalks that are not already maintained by the city, according to the news release.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Painting crosswalks into rainbow colors for sexual politics crosses a bright red line. The gay community must not manipulate (in this case) the Phoenix City Council politicians under the dubious rubrics of "inclusion and diversity." Google informs us this now includes lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, questioners, transsexuals, asexuals, reassigns, multi-genders, agenders, non-genders, genderqueers, genderfluids, and other recently identified sexually diverse people.

Changing something as basic as safety crosswalks for their personal political ambitions -- especially ones that arouse deep gut feelings, animosity and political discord in the community -- dishonors any respect for older fundamental rights. How many crosswalks will we have to repaint, in what colors, to represent Black Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter, or even the Right to Free Speech -- which you can actually find in the Constitution? How long will this list become? Do we really want gun-rights advocates to get their shot at a crosswalk?

Rainbows make equal crosswalks unequal. Rainbows are magnificent acts of nature. Misappropriating them for political advantage on public roads are Intolerable Acts. It doesn’t matter who pays or how much pride a group has in its adopted color guard. Everyone pays when politicians allow such discrimination against everyone else. It is intolerant and non-inclusive.

The entire gender-confusion bollix is an artifice of the “left” -- a euphemism for socialism, which long ago determined destruction of the family unit was a superb solution for dissolving The American Way. The gay community has every right to live their lives in peace and harmony. This isn’t that. This is an aggressive assault. Brutal communist dictator Nikita Khrushchev said, “We will bury you.” He didn’t say how long it would take, or how they would accomplish the task.

The Federal Register in 1963 recorded 45 stated goals of communism that included a terrifying list of values such as:

discrediting the family as an institution, promoting promiscuity, pornography, obscenity, degeneracy, easy divorce, the negative influence of parents, promoting ugliness, meaningless forms as art, and the idea that such things are normal, natural and healthy.

You can decide for yourself whether any of that is valid, I’m not judging so don’t shoot this messenger. I’m just noticing we’ve arrived.

Khrushchev’s late advocate Saul Alinsky, a widely recognized guiding light for leading leftists Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, is now influencing socialists in America with projects like taking over crosswalks. They must be stopped before they nail the coffin shut on The American Way. It’s not about the rainbows, intolerance and phony inclusion they pitch. It’s about God, family and pure American values first, which they denigrate.

When the term “family values” first hit the scene writ large around 1990, mass-media geniuses screamed “What is that,” as if they didn’t know. Maybe they didn’t, which would be terrifying -- bad enough to revoke their licenses -- except they’re unlicensed operators.

Americans know implicitly what family values are. They are what made this nation the shining beacon of freedom that attracts people to our land. Those values must be protected against the vicious assaults we’re experiencing now at every black-and-white line in the road.

The state newspaper, which promoted the one-sided rainbow program widely, refused to publish this article.

Spotlighting Serial Killers

Media continues promoting copycats

In a rare break with its constant promoting of serial killers, The Arizona Republic ran a reader's letter in tune with the JPFO "Don't Inspire Evil" campaign, which calls for a new journalism ethics guideline:

"Refrain from gratuitous or repetitive use of spree killer or jihadi names and images."

The media has refused to even consider the guideline. The letter writer goes further:

"Phoenix serial killers do not deserve news coverage! Criminologists have confirmed that publicity motivates serial killers. Ten years ago horrible crimes happened to random victims who could have been you or me, or much worse, our daughter or son. I was heartbroken to see The Republic give to the killers exactly what they want: five days of attention.

"As a city and a nation, how an we stop the creation of serial killers until we stop making stars of the criminals who take innocent lives? The media understand society's fascination with violence and murder. They exploit this obsession through excessive coverage.

"Next time, prior to succumbing to sensationalism, please use some restraint and consider the impact upon victims, both past and future." -Anne V.

Violence! But There Is None.

Even the Headline Lies

(Arizonans may have seen this item)

The lamestream media told you:

The gathering in Phoenix was peaceful until the end when rioting broke out and there was widespread violence. Police had to use tear gas, pepper spray, pepper balls and rubber bullets to disburse the mob.

 

 

 

 

WHAT VIOLENCE?

Winner: The End of Credibility Award.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

In the most flagrant display of bizarre propaganda in recent memory, a front page mainstream newspaper proclaims violence, but shows a totally peaceful scene with one demonstrator. Because there was little else.

A line of battle ready shock troops, identities hidden, aligned in combat formation stand guard, as absolutely nothing is happening. The disjoint between headline and image must have appealed to someone up there in those isolated halls.

The Uninvited Ombudsman carefully screened footage from every major “news” outlet, and despite vigorous editing and artful presentation, the only thing remotely resembling violence was police action against the assembled public.

 

Kicking a single canister of riot gas back at its source is not deemed violence for the purpose of this report. That scene, repeated on screens ad nauseum, including the guy folding from a rubber-bullet shot to the groin, is not proof of violence or justification for any of the phony reports that followed.

Friends who were there reported an unruly angry, antagonistic mob of anti-Trumpers when they exited the rally. Police did the right thing, keeping the sides separated, across the streets, with barricades. That's what police in other cities are supposed to do, but frequently do not, yet they retain their jobs for reasons that were unclear at press time.

Although claims of tossed empty water bottles were received during the 108-degree day, police action was unquestionably violent, and demonstrators and participants from many sides had no choice but to disburse. Anti-Trump protesters did create a ruckus at one point. These people and the belligerent crowd associated with them were deemed “peace activists” by Reuters, who withdrew the false characterization after a withering storm of rebuke. According to leading experts, such misleading references are institutional.

A picture speaks 1,000 words. Although MSNBC at one point referred in passing to "tens of thousands" of demonstrators, there were hundreds, which grew eventually to perhaps just more than that. This was the thickest crowd shot I could capture:

 

The full-size image allows head counts, pretty close. It's in the hundreds. This

image from TV during daylight, mid event. Night crowds were hard to gauge.

This was the main gathering spot, near the entrance, people flowed to here.
