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!

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” —the Declaration of Independence

HAVING JUST CELEBRATED Independence Day, this passage inspired me to run. I am frustrated that our legislature ignores Arizona voters. I will listen, be inclusive and work to build a better Arizona for us all. Above all, I will respect the will of the voters. 

My two campaign priorities for July:

GATHERING DONATIONS
We are very close to reaching the number of Clean Election donations to qualify for funding. If you haven’t made your $5 donation, PLEASE DO SO TODAY! Access the forms at DaveforLD11.com. We also need “seed money,” donations of up to $150 per individual. If you are able, please give what you can.

DEVELOPING A VOLUNTEER TEAM

Jo Holt Campaign Corner: A Victory for ALL!

Jo Holt Campaign Corner: A Victory for ALL!

THE SUPREME COURT’S RULING ON THE constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, is a victory for all Arizonans and all Americans. The individual provisions of Obamacare will continue to be implemented for the benefit of everyone. No one will be denied health coverage or charged a high premium due to a pre-existing condition. Young adults will be able to stay on their parents’ health plans until age 26. Millions of uninsured people, for whom all the rest of us pay, will now be covered. Premiums for middle income families will be kept affordable. I support Obamacare as a strong beginning for health care reform. It is now imperative that the Arizona legislature move forward, in the interest of our business environment, with its responsibility to establish the Arizona health care exchange. Engaging in partisan politics rather than consensus-building has become too expensive for Arizona businesses and families.
