````````There is NO doubt, the Republicans in control of the Legislature, and all of state government in Arizona have funded Corporate Tax Dodges, Tax Cuts and special Corporation legislative favors on the backs of school children and with extreme reductions in funding for Public Education. The children of Arizona are expected to do with less educational opportunities so the elected GOP officals can pay back their wealthy campaign donors. ```````````````````````

Andrei Cherny, Arizona Democratic Party Chairman “Arizona Republicans hold all the power, and they’ve used it for all the wrong things. The result is that jobs are nowhere to be found, schools are forgotten, and our communities are silenced. We won’t stand for it, and we will hold them accountable in 2012 so Arizona can get back on the right track.”

Protect Pima County from the Phoenix Tea Party

Protect Pima County from the Phoenix Tea Party: Elect Nancy Young Wright, Supervisor, District One

FRIENDS, WE’RE UP AGAINST TEA PARTY CANDIDATE Ally Miller, who now claims it’s “name calling” to say she’s a member of the Tea Party Patriots. The Tea Party would shrink government until it could no longer function and provide vital services. Miller opposes holding developers responsible for sewers, roads, and parks, and opposes conservation of our Sonoran Desert. She’s in favor of the Rosemont Mine. She wants to raise taxes and compromise our community’s health. At least three Independent groups with Maricopa County and developer connections will be sending out hit pieces against me. You know my leadership experience and my interest in representing all District 1 voters. Please double-down and support my campaign today — contribute if you can, and volunteer if you have time.

There’s too much riding on this election to let Miller win. Our roads, our water supply, GED funding, mental health facilities and much more are at stake.

JO HOLT CAMPAIGN CORNER: Ideology As Distraction in Arizona

JO HOLT CAMPAIGN CORNER: Ideology As Distraction in Arizona

THE MAJORITY OF THOSE IN OUR STATE LEGISLATURE profess the belief that government has just become too big and too intrusive, and that they will work to “shrink government.” But, in practice, they keep pushing the state to take more and more control away from the federal government, even going so far as to ask the voters to support “state sovereignty” this fall. Of course, additional responsibilities require a larger state government than we currently have. Hmm, could it be that some lofty ideology is not driving the decision making process in Phoenix? Sure, the smaller-government mantra sounds good to many voters. But it also serves as cover for a well-worn political agenda focused on money and control.

Our legislators may want to defend their decisions with morals and ideology, but it’s time for the rest of us to simply follow the money instead.

The REAL TEA PARTY: Not a revolt against taxation

The REAL TEA PARTY: Not a revolt against taxation

THE REAL BOSTON TEA PARTY was, in part, a revolt against the British Crown’s huge corporate tax cuts for the powerful British East India Company, (the Wal-Mart of its time) allowing them to dump cheap tea on America which would wipe out New England based tea wholesalers, mom-and-pop shops and take over the tea business in America. There’s more to it, for the fascinating details, check it out in any decent history book or online source! Confound your modern Tea Party friends and relatives!
