Background: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals at the utilities include banning fossil fuels (Net Zero by 2050) and discriminatory employment practices like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). These initiatives are costly for ratepayers, make our grid unreliable, and are likely unconstitutional. But right now, the utilities are fully committed to ESG. That’s why it’s critical that our Commissioners adopt a policy that completely BANS ESG at the utilities. The environmental goals required by ESG commitments lead to rate hikes like the current request from APS, totaling $460 MILLION and make our grid UNRELIABLE. We don’t want rolling blackouts and huge price spikes like California!

The Truth: The push to get rid of fossil fuels by 2050 would cost ratepayers $6 BILLION, that’s why just two years ago the Commission REJECTED proposed Green New Deal mandates. But now, the utilities are adopting these goals anyway, and asking to recover the costs of doing so from YOU, the ratepayer. Not only will it cost BILLIONS, but it will also make our grid UNRELIABLE.

The Arizona Constitution requires the Corporation Commission to ensure just and reasonable rates, ESG makes that impossible.

Action: Tell your Commissioners to BAN ESG to ensure we have affordable and reliable energy into the future. “Renewable” energy is UNRELIABLE and UNAFFORDABLE. Protect ratepayers and our grid by BANNING ESG!

• Unused Funds: Nearly $500 million from the bond we’re still paying for today plus COVID money and grants. Why request another $500 million? Why do they need a billion dollars?
• No Immediate Expiration: The current surplus isn’t expiring this year. Why the rush?
• Vague Plans: How exactly will the funds be used? The district explanations are specific.
• Teacher Salaries: Mesa teachers earn on average $66,400 per year – $8,000 more than others in Arizona, despite Mesa having smaller class sizes. But they still produce failing students.
• Academic Concerns: With 65-80% of our students failing Math and English and a 76% graduation rate, shouldn’t their focus be on academic performance improvement?
• Tax Benefits: Voting “NO” will reduce homeowner property taxes, some by over $1000 per year, once the 2018 bonds have been paid off in a year or two.

Private citizens in Mesa are needed to help to spread the word. Stand up for our children’s future – they are our country’s future.

• Stop the AZ DEEP STATE at Maricopa County Board of Supervisors this Wednesday at 9:30am at 205 W. Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85003. We are still looking over the Agenda. So far we have 7 Agenda Items out of the first 30 that need Public Comment. There are still over 50 Agenda Items we need to get through. Once we get through the agenda, we will get all the info on our website and shoot you an updated email. So far a couple Agenda Items include the way Precinct Committeemen are appointed, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer is getting another $1.3 Million, DEI & ESG possibly being appointed to the Planing and Zoning Commission, MAG contract for Reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled, City of Scottsdale owning Four Homes, and More!

I asked back in August for information on our emergency protocols for wildfires and I have yet to get any information, I was also told we could not discuss public safety issues at the upcoming Tuesday night meeting because the agenda was already too full. Apparently, supporting tax increases on our residents is more important than their safety. I am tired of our mayor politicizing town council meetings and not protecting the town. Over 116 people died in Maui and 66 are still missing, what plans and procedures does Fountain Hills have in place if tragedy strikes? Now is the time to protect our residents, and protect our neighborhoods, not politicize the upcoming school referendum!

Raising taxes won’t create jobs and even if residents were comfortable paying more in taxes for the local school, the fact is borrowing money right now will cost more because of the high interest rates, It is ill-advised to borrow money when the cost to do so is so high. If the mayor truly cared about the well-being of Fountain Hills residents, she would not be supporting a tax increase and she would be actively engaged in ensuring our residents are safe in the event of a wildfire. Once again, her priorities do not align with the values of our community.

This week, I participated on a House Natural Resources Committee oversight and investigations tour of the Gateway National Recreation Area and related sites in New York City, NY related to the ongoing immigration crisis resulting from Joe Biden’s failed open border policies.

Joe Biden’s reckless open border policies are destroying American cities from Phoenix, Arizona to New York City. Since Biden took office more than eight and half million lawbreakers have been welcomed into our country. If you thought they get deported, you’re wrong. Many of these lawbreakers travel to sanctuary cities, like New York City. Just last year, New York City Mayor Adams bragged he was proud that New York is a sanctuary state and he would continue to welcome and protect the illegal aliens invading New York City. Over 100,000 illegals have arrived in New York City since 2022.

Rather than prosecute these criminals and deport them, sanctuary cities like New York are partnering with the Biden administration to encamp thousands of illegal aliens at National Park properties. These federal properties exist for the public as recreational areas for hiking, camping and fishing not to serve as a four-star hotel for lawbreakers to live for free on the taxpayers’ dime.

Speaking of illegal aliens, this week it was revealed that Joe Biden has flown more that 200,000 illegals into cities throughout the United States. These flights full of illegal passengers are not counted in the estimates of lawbreakers coming into the country through the southern border. As many as 43 airports are being used to fly these illegal aliens but the Biden administration is withholding the specific locations and names of the airports claiming the release would “harm law enforcement procedures.” That’s rich. How about enforcing the damn laws and deporting these criminals?

Biden turning our national parks into encampments for illegals…Biden flying illegals all across the country…record border crossings…STOP THE INSANITY! But wait, it gets worse. This week it was reported that the drug cartels are purposely sending waves of thousands of lawbreakers across Biden’s open border to overwhelm our Border Patrol officers. The goal is the send mobs of illegal aliens to rush the border to distract and tie up officers while the cartels sneak drugs, including deadly fentanyl, across less populated areas of the southern border. As I have been saying, we have lost operational control of the southern border and Joe Biden and Secretary Mayorkas are to blame.

Last week, I reintroduced the bipartisan, bicameral Earn to Learn Act to provide students across the country with the ability to save for their college education, develop sound financial literacy, and put them on track to not only graduate, but secure a job in their chosen field. This legislation establishes a matched-savings scholarship program for low-income students to save for their college education while providing financial training skills to help prepare them to succeed in today’s evolving workforce. Over the last decade, Arizona has proven to be a national leader in promoting programs that provide critical resources to students who need them most. Taking Earn to Learn nationwide helps expand access to higher education, address our country’s labor shortage, and ultimately grow the economy by making society more productiv

Your rant contains some inaccuracies. Here are some examples:

“HCR2039 is not a bill”. False. HCR2039 is a bill that went through the normal legislative process. It will continue to be a bill until the AZ SOS assigns a proposition number to it and places it on the 2024 ballot as a ballot measure, with identical language.

It should be noted that all Democrat members of the legislature voted NO on this bill. This means that those who oppose HCR2039 are in lock step with 100% of the Democrats in the legislature.

“HCR2039 is asking voters to change our constitution to allow the governor to declare a state of emergency.” False. This bill reads in part. “B. If any emergency powers are authorized by state law to be granted to the governor during a state of emergency…” The key word here is “IF”. It does not give the governor any powers, but instead limits powers that may be granted via legislative action.

“It is already a law, even though it is all unconstitutional.” False. ARS 26-303 states, “G. Beginning January 2, 2023, the governor may issue an initial proclamation with respect to a state of emergency for a public health emergency…” This statute addresses only public health emergencies, which is quite limited. HCR2039 does not have that limitation. It addresses all states of emergency.

It is also false because the current emergency powers of the governor have not been declared unconstitutional by any credible organization or individual.

A constitutional expert should know better than making such blatant misstatements.

Her tweet: “I’m excited to announce the launch of the official Women for Trump Coalition! President Trump is a champion for the dignity of women and trusts the science: there are only TWO genders Male and Female. He also believes women are exclusively FEMALE. JOIN:”

Let’s break that down for those in society who have not succumbed to EMOTIONALISM and FALSEHOODS.

1. There are only two SEXES, not GENDERS. Gender is a tool for the IDENTITY POLITICS of the Lunatic Left.
2. No man can claim to be the “champion for the dignity of women” who has cheated on his many wives, openly boasted about grabbing women by their genitalia and has called women “fat pigs.”
3. He allowed cabinet member, RICHARD GRENELL to sponsor a mentally deluded, FAILED MALE, for high office years before Biden and RICHARD “RACHEL” LEVINE.
4. No candidate can claim they believe “there are only TWO genders” when they have historically supported TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY. e.g., allowed a man to compete in Miss Universe as a woman. Considers BRUCE JENNER a woman. Launched TRUMP PRIDE 2020…”LGBT”… instead of LGB… therefore including and endorsing the TRANSGENDER as a real thing, and most egregiously, continues to support LOG CABIN (Gay) REPUBLICANS who openly endorse “LGBT” and Rainbow Pride Poison.

Donald Trump and Log Cabin Republicans are worshipping FALSE IDOLS. What will it take for the REPUBLICAN party to start speaking TRUTH? FACTS and FIGURES? BIOLOGY and SCIENCE?

As the founder of Arizona based LGB (gay) PATRIOTS, we can not and will not endorse any candidate of any party who is an ADVOCATE for ANARCHIST, GENDER IDEOLOGY. We love this country and our civil society too much to do that.

Tucson.com had reported:
On Sept. 14th a federal judge has blocked Arizona from enforcing a 2022 state law requiring proof of citizenship to vote for U.S. president. In ruling Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton said Arizonans who use a federal voter registration form are entitled to cast a ballot in presidential elections. She voided parts of the state law that say only those who provide “satisfactory evidence of citizenship’’ can vote in those elections.

Kill – deprive of life

Murder – deprive of life

Abortion – definition 1: An abortion is the murder of an unborn baby or child.

Fetus – a unborn baby.

Let’s consider LIFE , when does life start and end? Most any MD with a stethoscope will tell you that when the heart stops beating the human is no longer alive. So we can assume from that when the heart starts beating the human is alive. That starts during the period of gestation at about the 20th week.

So, the question becomes where does ‘my body’ come in? We are talking about a baby’s body. When is the right time to kill a baby? During gestation? During birth? Shortly after birth with parents/doctor’s OK? 1 week old? 1 Year old? When?
