Statement:
|
|
1. I
think
President
Donald
Trump
won the
election
in 2020
and I
don’t
want the
same
broken
elections
to
happen
in again
in
Maricopa
County
in 2024. |
|
|
|
6. I
believe
that the
U.S.
Constitution
is
inspired
from
God. I
will
strongly
defend
it. |
|
|
|
7. I
am
Pro-life.
I
believe
we are
His
children
and
therefore
we must
protect
the
lives of
the
unborn. |
|
|
|
8. I
believe
marriage
between
one man
and one
woman is
ordained
of God. |
|
|
|
10. I
believe
God
created
male and
female. |
|
|
|
12. I
believe
mask and
vaccine
mandates
should
end and
never
come
back
again. |

"Elected
officials
and
candidates
for
office
in 2022
continue
to
challenge
and
question
the
results
of the
2020
presidential
election
in
Arizona. |
|
The
results
have
been
examined
and
re-examined,
challenged
in court
and in a
monthslong
ballot
review.
No
evidence
has been
found of
widespread
fraud or
error in
the
results. |
|
Yet
candidates
deny the
outcome.
Others
don't
quite go
as far.
But they
raise
questions
about
potential
irregularities
they say
could
have
influenced
the vote
and
should
be
examined. |
|
The
Arizona
Republic
is
listing
candidates
by
category
by the
race
that
they are
entered
in. This
list is
not
complete
and will
be
updated
throughout
the 2022
election
season. |
|
|
These
candidates
in
Arizona
races
deny
that Joe
Biden
won the
2020
presidential
election,
either
in
Arizona
or
nationwide." |

Thayer Verschoor's Latest Attempt At Censoring Academia |
"Arizona Senate
Majority Leader
Thayer Verschoor
(R-Gilbert) is at it
again, with a bill
that prohibits any
public school or
college instructor
from advocating or
opposing a political
candidate or issue.
This is the same
legislator who last
year proposed a bill
that would have
required colleges
and universities to
"provide a student
with alternative
coursework if the
student deems
regular coursework
to be personally
offensive" where "a
course, coursework,
learning material or
activity is
personally offensive
if it conflicts with
the student’s
beliefs or practices
in sex, morality or
religion." |

Arizona legislators Sponsoring Bills For Scientology Front Group |
"So who are the
Arizona legislators
working with CCHR
and attending
Scientology
functions? [...]
Sen. Thayer
Verschoor
(R-District 22,
Gilbert). On the
Family Services,
Government
Accountability and
Reform, Higher
Education, and
Transportation
committees.
Verschoor is the guy
who introduced a
bill to require
state universities
to "provide a
student with
alternative
coursework if the
student deems
regular coursework
to be personally
offensive" where "a
course, coursework,
learning material or
activity is
personally offensive
if it conflicts with
the student’s
beliefs or practices
in sex, morality or
religion." He didn't
introduce this over
the issue of
evolution, but
because of the book
The Ice Storm, which
features a 1970s
"key party." He
missed the point
that it was not
portrayed in a
favorable way." " |

Legislators Sue Napolitano For Usurping Legislative Authority |
"Six Arizona state
legislators filed a
special action today
against Governor
Napolitano for
usurping legislative
authority by issuing
Executive Order
2003-22 on June 21.
The order added
sexual orientation
to the categories
for which state
agencies cannot
legally discriminate
in hiring and
firing. The
Alliance Defense
Fund, America’s
largest religious
freedom public
interest legal
alliance, represents
the legislators.
[...] Several bills
seeking to add
sexual orientation
to the list of
protected employment
categories have been
brought to the
Arizona legislature,
and the legislature
has rejected all of
them. "Our clients
object to the
Governor so clearly
usurping authority
from a co-equal
branch of
government. The
Governor’s job is to
enforce laws
approved by the
legislature, and not
to attempt to
legislate by
Executive Order,"
McCaleb said. The
petitioners are
state
Representatives
Andy Biggs,
Linda Gray,
John M. Allen,
Joe Hart,
Doug Quelland
and state Senator
Thayer Verschoor." |
