Change Of Organizational Meeting Date, and Other Items

Organizational Meeting : The regularly scheduled meeting for Legislative District 15 will be changed from November 18th to December 1. This is due to the special nature of the meeting and the by-laws of Maricopa County Republican Committee.

After each election, we are required to notify each precinct committeeman of an organizational meeting to be held before January. The regulations require 10 days advance notice by mail. In order to comply with the rules, the meeting will be held December 1, 2010.

You will receive the formal call letter soon, informing you of the date change and other pertinent information. I realize that this is going to inconvenience some people, but it is unavoidable. Please understand that failure to change the day of the meeting could negate the results of any decisions made at that reorganization meeting.

The meeting will now be in-compliance with the MCRC by laws. My apology for any inconvenience this may cause.

You will also receive a Proxy for the meeting. If you are unable to make the meeting you may have a person in your precinct vote in your absence. He or she need not be a precinct committeeman but must be a registered Republican residing in your precinct.

Nominations: In addition to voting for the offices of LD 15 Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, we will also be electing 25 State Committeeman. The state committee meeting will be January 22, probably at Paradise Valley High School, although the site has not been confirmed as of this date. If you are interested in running for any of the above positions contact any of the members of the nominating committee as soon as possible: Milt Wheat at 602-265-4958; Dick Bauer at 602-495-1665; or Joe Abate at 602-222-8337. This is a great way for you to influence what goes on with the County organization. All elected Precinct Committeepersons are eligible to run for any of the above positions. It is a good time to get involved.

Proposed changes to By-Laws: Any and all proposed changes to the MCRC bylaws must be received, in writing, no later than midnight November 30, 2010.

Contact information of the person who is submitting the proposed change must be included, as we may wish to contact them for amplification or clarification.

Please send all such proposed changes to L.tuttle@cox.net

Kyrsten Sinema's voting record‏

Kyrsten Sinema, former State Representative, Legislative District 15, who is running against my client, Bob Thomas, for the Senate, apparently missed a lot of votes in 2009. According to the story, reprinted by the Capitol Times (on a date few of us read the paper), Ms. Sinema failed to vote in the 2009 Session nearly 40% of the time for a total of 140 missed votes.

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) gave her a rating of 31% (out of 100) for her voting record towards small business in particular and business in general.

LD15 Senate Candidate Bob Thomas Thanks NRA For Support

Mr.Davanzo,

Just a note to say thank you for what you are doing locally to help promote awareness of Prop 109.

Just looking through my latest addition of "American Hunter" and am glad to find the NRA awareness promo, with bumper sticker, in support of our right to hunt and fish here in Arizona.

As a Senate candidate, endorsed by the NRA, I wanted to say thank you for your help and the help from National with issues here at home.

I serve on both the WCC and AZSFWLC, representing the NWTF members and appreciate what the NRA membership brings to the table.

Please continue to help elect representatives, both State and Federal, that share our ideals.

This election is paramount, and awareness of candidates, propositions and recruiting volunteers is critical if we want to continue the conservation ideals and heritage for the next generation that will follow us.

Please thank the good folks with the NRA who are making this awareness campaign possible.

If you run into a situation of more volunteers than you need, please send them over to the Legislative District 15, as we could always use more to soundly defeat Kristen Sinema, who stands against all of our shared values.

Keep up the good work and thank you again,

Bob Thomas
Senate Candidate LD15

To be eligible, applicants must be registered Arizona voters who have been continuously registered with the same political party or as unaffiliated with a political party for the last three years.

Maricopa County Needs Vote Watchers From LD15

Do you want to see how the electoral system is secured and verified?

Tuesday, August 17th thru Saturday, August 21st, from 9am through 5 pm, the County election department will need Republican "watchers" from the party to verify the process of early. It is not necessary to be a PC to participate, but you must be a registered Repubican. If you would like to be a vote watcher, you may not be a candidate for any elective government office, but PC's or anyone becoming a PC may participate in this, since they are candidates for party office, not government offices.

Observers work at least 2 hour shifts and will need the approval form signed by the county Executive Director, Rob Haney.

Contact me directly to sign up for a time at County Election Headquarters at 510 S. 3rd Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85003 (Near 5th Ave and Grant St).

You may still be appointed as a PC as long as the precinct has not reach its quota.

Let me know if you are interested.

SENATE CANDIDATE BOB THOMAS, LD 15, RESPONDS TO SB1070 RULING

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton issued a preliminary injunction this morning preventing several sections of Arizona's new immigration law from becoming law, until the courts have a chance to hear the full case. Bob Thomas, candidate for Arizona Senate, LD15, running unopposed in the Primary, voiced his opposition to the Judge’s ruling. For more information on Thomas, please visit his website: http://www.votebobthomas.org/ To set an interview, please contact 602 404 8018.

It seems that the only thing the Obama Administration is willing to do is to spend our money suing Arizona citizens, Thomas remarked. Rather than fulfill their duty to our citizens to protect us from foreign oppression, the Federal government is coming after us.

Securing the border must be the first priority. When Mexican cartel members come across the border into Phoenix to ambush Phoenix citizens and Police officers and come into our state to murder ranchers, we are way past the time to talk. It’s time to act. The President, and others of his ilk, have evidently forgotten that. I have not, Thomas concluded.

Thomas received early recognition in this race when he was interviewed on CBS5, KTVK TV 3, WB and KAET TVs HORIZONTE regarding Seattle’s Boycott of Arizona. Thomas is the owner of a heavy equipment company which does a lot of business through the Port of Seattle, millions of dollars annually in Port fees. If they are going to boycott us, I will find another port that does not boycott Arizona, Thomas told the reporters. Somewhere like Houston or New Orleans. Boycotts work both ways.

There is no incumbent in either the House or the Senate in LD15 this year as all termed out.

To view the actual ruling go here: http://www.azd.uscourts.gov/azd/courtinfo.nsf/983700DFEE44B56B0725776E005D6CCB/$file/10-1413-87.pdf?openelement

Arizona Citizens Defense League - Candidate Questionnaire Responses

This is an election year. The primaries are on August 24th (early voting starts July 29th), and the general election is on November 2nd. YOUR vote is critical in determining how the Arizona legislature will look in 2011. If you want to see more laws passed that restore and protect your freedoms, like Constitutional Carry, not voting is not an option.

In July we sent a questionnaire to every known candidate for the Arizona state legislature. The questionnaire contained the following 5 questions, which we asked the candidates to answer either Yes or No.

- Law-abiding citizens have the right to carry a weapon, with or without a government issued permit, in any place that they have a right to be.

- Article 2, Section 26 of the Arizona Constitution means what it says. Our right to bear arms must not be subject to local laws.

- Trained, law-abiding adult citizens have the right to carry their weapons onto the grounds of schools, colleges and universities in order to be able to protect themselves and others from criminals.

- Law-abiding citizens have the right to defend themselves at any time or in any place they have a right to be.

- Laws that impair the right of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves should be repealed.

We explained that we feel that no one should need to beg to exercise a constitutionally protected right, and that these issues need no further debate. They could expand their answers with comments if they so desired. However, what we perceive as a Yes, but answer would be treated as a No when we shared their response. An unreturned questionnaire would result in the answers to all questions to be considered as No.

Candidate responses are reproduced here: http://www.azcdl.org/2010Candidates2a.pdf.

If you do not see a candidates name, and they were not a legislator in 2010, you may assume we did not receive a response from them and that their answer to all the questions was No!

Candidates who were legislators in the 2010 session were not required to respond to our survey since we have their voting record on bills we considered important: http://www.azcdl.org/html/voting_records.html.

Ratings and endorsements for candidates for Arizona statewide offices can be found at the AzCDL Political Action Committee (PAC) web site: http://azcdlpac.com/endorsement.html.

AzCDL’s PAC is a force-multiplier for your individual campaign donations. Campaign donations speak loudly to legislators seeking reelection and new candidates seeking office.

NRA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENT OF ROBERT (BOB) THOMAS

The National Rifle Association (NRA) Political Victory Fund announced that they have endorsed Bob Thomas, Republican candidate for Senate, Legislative District 15.  For additional information about Bob Thomas, please visit his website, http://www.votebobthomas.org/

This endorsement is based on Mr. Thomas’ positive responses to the NRA _ PVF candidate questionnaire and his strong support of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Matthew Dogali, NRA Arizona State Liaison, explained.

I am humbled and honored to receive this endorsement from the NRA, Thomas remarked.  I intend to continue to be a strong supporter of their goals.

Dismayed by the lack of marksmanship shown by their troops, Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association was to promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis, according to a magazine editorial written by Church. Today, there are more than 10,000 NRA-certified police and security firearms instructors. Basic hunter education courses are now held in 43 states and three Canadian provinces, involving an estimated 40,000 young hunters. For more information, please visit http://www.nra.org/.

Valley Protective Services Endorses Bob Thomas for LD15 Senate

Robert (Bob) Thomas is currently running for Senate in Legislative District 15. Mr. Thomas has a long history in the Phoenix area for supporting law enforcement and private business. Both areas are of vital concern to Valley Protective Services, as they should be to each and every citizen. His background as a business owner will be invaluable. If each and every holder of political office had some of the experience of managing a limited budget and learning to operate within that budget, we wouldn’t be facing the economic crisis we see today.

Over and over I hear the majority of the incumbent’s, including Mr. Thomas’ opponent stating the case to raise taxes to support education and public safety, yet see millions squandered on new police airplanes and bureaucratic red tape in our public schools. Tax and spend seems to be the rule of the day. I believe that we do need a change, and that Mr. Thomas is the kind of change that I’m excited about.

I am enthusiastically endorsing Mr. Thomas’ campaign for State Senate Legislative District 15.
