The AZ Legislature has taken action on SPI duties, Lawyers Right to Work, Sanctuary Cities, and Municipal Services Cards

Some important bills have seen action this week, including HB2219, SB1017, SB1378, SB1416:

The following bills have been changed substantially from their original form:
HB2088 Via amendments, this bill has suffered a partial testiculectomy, making it not nearly as good as the original
SB1351 The amended Lesko version that came out of COW does the exact opposite of the original bill.

Other significant bills saw action this week as follows:
HB2219 Right to work. This bill would have allowed lawyers to practice without having to join the SBA union. The following Republican representatives joined the Democrats in defeating it: Fann, Townsend, Brophy-McGee, Coleman, Pratt, Robson
SB1017 This bill would have prohibited city services cards to be used as identification, as in voter registration. The following Republican senators joined Democrats in defeating it: Pierce, Yarbrough, Driggs, Worsley.
 SB1378 This bill would have prohibited certain money transfers to cities that engage in sanctuary city activity. Republicans voting against were: Pierce, Driggs, Begay, Worsley.
 SB1416 This bill covers a lot of issues, but it also transfers most of the power of the duly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction to unelected and unaccountable appointed bureaucrats. The following senators voted in favor of the only elected member of the state school board (voted against bill): Donahe, Farnsworth, Shooter, Burges, Smith.

PLEASE REMEMBER THE ACTIONS OF THESE LEGISLATORS WHEN TIME COMES TO SUPPORT OR OPPOSE THEM DURING THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS.

HB2023 – BALLOT HARVESTING, SB1378 – SANCTUARY CITIES, SB1377 IN PLAY THIS WEEK

The following table contains legislative bill(s) HB1377, HB1378, HB2023 that are coming up soon for action in our state legislature. Please choose the bills that are most important to you, then contact everyone in the “who to contact” column and ask them to vote yes or no, depending on your wishes.
NOTE: This week we will have action on two important bills.
HB2023 – Ballot Harvesting – Thanks to all your calls, e-mails, and RTS votes, we have improved the ratio of “for” to “against” expressed opinions from a dismal 1:2 to a more favorable almost 50/50. But the other side is not giving up, and neither should we. Make sure you let our legislators know of your support for HB2023
SB1378 – Sanctuary cities – Again as a result of your efforts, the “for” side is ahead of the “against” side, but we need to keep up the pressure. The other side is making plenty of money from illegal alien exploitation and are not eager to give up their cash cow easily.

BILL # SHORT TITLE OR WHAT THE BILL DOES(1) WHO TO CONTACT(2) WHERE(3) DATE(3) TIME(3) VOTE(4)
SB1377 sentence enhancements; unlawful presence; release
WOULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ILLEGAL ALIENS COMMITTING CRIMES		 AS MANY SENATORS AS POSSIBLE SENATE COW AND MOST LIKELY SENATE VOTE MON 2/22 Y

HB2023 delivery; early ballots; limitation
WOULD STOP BALLOT HARVESTING		 SENATE GOVERNMENT SHR-3 WED 2/24 2:00 PM Y

Alert on HB2088, HB2293, SB1455

The following table contains some very important information regarding HB2088, HB2293, SB1455, three parental rights and privacy of information bills that will be heard in committee very soon, but first a quick observation:
In communist countries there is no such thing as parental rights or privacy of information. This statement is not the result of hearsay or reading a book, but the result of personal experience. Some European so-called democracies are following this pattern. There are people in this country that would have us move in that direction. You still have the right and the ability to let your government know your opinion. Do not squander that right. Everyone reading this material should be contacting the members of the committees cited here in the manner that best suits them, namely via telephone, e-mail, or ALIS/RTS. Don’t count on the next guy doing it. He is counting on you to do it.
THESE ARE ALL STRIKER BILLS
