Alert – House Bill HB2456 -National Popular Vote must be defeated

House bill HB2456, that would make AZ participate in a National Popular Vote Compact, recently passed in the House on a fast track basis and is headed to the Senate for a possible replay of the House track. We must do everything we can to stop this bill from becoming law. A similar bill in the Senate, SB1218, has not yet seen much action and may be abandoned in favor of concentrating on passing HB2456.

Please do two things:

1) Read the rest of this message for some valuable information.

2) Contact the 8 Republican Members of the Senate who are supporting the NPVC, and ask them to oppose HB2456. Please be courteous and professional. These senators are not evil, they just have not heard from you yet. See contact info on this table:

Unlike the supporters NPVC, the drafters of this message are all unpaid volunteers. We do not have the resources to hire high priced slick salesmen or to wine and dine legislators. We have to depend on you the people letting your legislators know your opinion and exercising the power of your vote at election time. Here are some myths that the NPVC proponents are promoting as facts.

#1 Myth: It’s the only way conservatives can win presidential elections in the future.

This is totally false and its support defies logic. Had this scheme been in place in the year 2000, Al Gore would have been elected president. The argument should stop here. How can any conservative legislator be in favor of a scheme that would have made Al (Carbon Footprint) Gore president of the United States? But there are more logic defying points. The list of NPVC supporters reads like a Who is Who among liberal Socialists/Communists. Prominent among those supporters are: The legislatures in the 10 bluest and most socialistic leaning states and District of Columbia, the AFL/CIO, the U. S. Communist Party, and 30 Democrat AZ legislators, to name just a few. It would be ludicrous to even suggest that these entities wish to help elect conservative presidents. They obviously think it would help Democrats, and they are correct.

#2 Myth: It doesn’t dissolve the Electoral College. It only changes how the electors are distributed.

On paper, it does not dissolve the EC. Only a constitutional amendment can do that. But in practice, the result is the same because the electors would be forced to vote according to the results of the national popular vote. Not according to the votes of the citizens of the state. While opinions vary on this, it could very well be that this is perfectly legal and constitutional. But that does not make it a good idea.

#3 Myth: It Bases the EC vote on the popular vote electors in each state so that each states votes count.

This is totally false. The contract signed by the states participating in the compact forces the electors from each participating state to vote for the candidate who wins the national popular vote. This takes place regardless of how the citizens of the participating states voted.

#4 Myth: It is Anti Corruption. It is easier to corrupt a state than the whole country.

If corruption is an issue, then we must understand that the most likely entities to be corrupted are the largest cities, not the states. But this is a moot point anyway. The masses in the largest cities will vote overwhelmingly Liberal by nature, thus eliminating any need for corruption.

#5 Myth: It is not a Democrat plot.

This one is correct. Many Republicans are participants in the plot. Hopefully, we the people can enlighten some of these Republicans so that they abandon this crazy idea that the National Popular Vote Compact will help elect conservative presidents.

HCR2037 – NEW MONEY FOR SCHOOLS – ALERT

HCR2037 – NEW MONEY FOR SCHOOLS

The bill would shift money currently given to a bureaucracy directly to schools. This is what our school districts will:

1. Referendum sends approximately $100m of new annual funding, directly into the schools, without raising taxes.
2. Eliminates nearly $10m in annual administrative, advertising, and lobbying expenses by First Things First.
3. Restores local control of the tax dollars by placing investment decisions in the hands of the locally elected school boards.
4. Insures that future tax dollars are invested in teacher salaries and reading programs, not billboards and contributions to advocacy groups.
5. Eliminates tax payer funded lobbyists, radio, and television advertising and uses those dollars for early childhood education programs.
6. Increases the amount of money spent on early childhood reading programs across Arizona by millions of dollars.
7. Puts Classrooms first, local school districts in the driver’s seat, and helps our teachers and kids.
8. Invests millions of dollars in protecting children from internet predators.
9. Restores local control and allows decisions to be made at the local level by elected school boards.

Please contact everyone in the “who to contact” column and ask them to vote yes or no, depending on your wishes.
