Seed Money

Hi There!

Hope your fall was wonderful and the holidays were joyful and safe.

You are noted to be the PC for LD15. Recently two packets were delivered to your home address for the 2010 elections candidates for LD15. The manila envelope is for Condit2010 LD15 House seat and the white envelope is for Bob Thomas LD 15 Senate seat.

We are both Conservative.

It is now time to gather petition signatures for each candidate. We only need 10 contacts per PC to qualify for Clean Elections but if you can get more that will be “icing” when the State verifies signatures. Our goal is to “Dazzle the Dems” with more signatures than we would ever need right out of the chute! You KNOW they are going to challenge our signatures!

The long signature petition sheet can be any party affiliation EXCEPT registered Democrats in LD 15. Ask that they print clearly for the State verification process.

The $5.00 donation sheets may come from ANY registered voter in LD 15, REGARDLESS of party affiliation. Please be sure to fill in the bottom.

There is a seed money request form for each candidate and this money can come from ANYONE, ANYWHERE, as long as they are an American citizen.

Please be sure to fill in the amount and sign the letter so it can be accounted for as again, we are both running Clean Elections.

If you need voter registration sheets PLEASE call me and I will get you some. LD15 gets $2.00 for each NON-Democrat voter registered. We will be actively signing up ANYONE who wants to vote in the 2010 elections. We, as defenders of our founding documents, will NEVER discriminate against a legal American citizens voter registration rights regardless of their party choice.

We have a brand new LD 15 website that will have tons of information for you too.

Here it is: http://www.AZGOPLD15.org/.

We want YOU to participate with information, photos, questions, concerns and any other information you feel we, in LD 15, need to know.

I hope you are still as excited as you were the day you assumed your PC position, I know I am. This is OUR time to be heard, and heard we will be.

Time is critical, as there are Clean Election time lines that MUST be met. We NEED your help to meet these time lines to run.

PLEASE send me your current contact information so I might keep you in the loop.

I need your e-mail, phone, current address and best contact time. I can pick up or drop off any monies or additional forms you might need.

Thank you so very much for all you do!

Require the Prior" great work in the LD 15‏

Greetings,

I would like to suggest that everyone in the LD 15 become informed of the"Great" work that is being accomplished for us all by the group known as "Require the Prior".

I have had the privilege to be involved with this group for some time now,and have be very impressed with the Indian School Corridor - Citywide Coalition combined efforts for us all.

They are growing, hoping to soon double in size, including all neighborhood associations, churches and businesses in the City of Phoenix, especially the LD 15.

Please consider inviting Ann Malone to your next Association meeting as aspeaker and get the word out. I recently had the privilege of introducing her to the Pastor Staff at North Phoenix Baptist Church, where I attend.

Find below their follow up letter, as it was copied to me as well.

NPBC,

It was great meeting you last night. I appreciate you taking the time to assist in these important efforts. Included is the information you requested.

Require the Prior is a city-wide movement started by a mother of seven witha mission to increase safety and remove career criminals and repeat offenders from the city of Phoenix. The movement has grown to represent over 20,000 households and 700 businesses including neighborhoods, business associations, churches and schools. It represents by serving as an umbrella group fighting for safer streets leading to better economy at a local level.

The white paper on our website outlines in length systemic problems thatexist but here is the abridged version and what we're doing currently and plan to do and how. Currently there are city laws in the books that enable the proper apprehension, prosecution, and penalty of career criminals (those with significant prior convictions); however, because the police, prosecutors, and judges are not properly aligned nor coordinated, career criminals continue to roam Phoenix and decrease economic activity andendanger society through petty and serious crime. Improper alignment ofthese agencies perpetuates a problem of criminal activity by diminishing the incentive for each agency to properly enforce the laws as they relate to repeat offenders.

Currently we are educating and mobilizing community and neighborhood groupsin an effort to save the diminishing Phoenix police force during budgetcuts. We provide current information regarding the situation of the policingenvironment and suggest ways community members can let their voice be heard. We are also growing our organization so we have a stronger voice inpromoting safety. These actions deal with the short term budget issues.

Beyond the budget, we are working with Phoenix Law Enforcement Association drafting a resolution to take before the City Council before June providing solutions for the alignment of the law enforcement agencies. This resolution will allow the City Council to ensure that proper alignment is created andexecuted. The greater our voice when going before the City Council the better our chances of success. As mentioned, we already have great support but would greatly appreciate the support of North Phoenix Baptist Church inour efforts. Joining requires no membership fee, just a shared understanding of the responsibility we have to ensure our police force has what it needsto keep our streets safe.

Thanks again and please let me know what else you need. Check out thewebsite for more details if you like - www.requiretheprior.org. LD 15, you can also reach Ann Malone at 602 410-1449 or malone@requiretheprior.org

Thank you in advance for this consideration,

Bob Thomas
Senate Candidate - LD 15

Manditory 1/16/2010 Meeting - Thank You to Ed Hedges, Chairman LD15

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the opportunity to become a LD15 PC.

I was moved to tears as I stood to say the pledge and sing the National Anthem with so many like minded souls.

I was a first time attendee and the shear magnitude of the energy of everyone in that gathering was anchoring to my determination to do the very best I can in my quest to represent LD 15 as a Conservative!

I have met so many wonderful, passionate and caring people who feel as strongly about the direction our BELOVED COUNTRY is being directed that I feel even more grounded in my decision to be who I am and maintain my integrity to those who support me no matter what comes my way.

I owe each and everyone of my fellow PC's my loyalty and PROMISE to do the very best I can to represent our District for who we are...
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Americans!

The Mass Victory

The Mass victory of last night clearly showed a candidate who branded his opponent with health care.

I wonder how many folks in the LD 15, Dem's, Ind., Rep's even know of Kyrsten Sinema's June 2009 AZCentral.com article. Most of us don't read the AZ Republic.

Semina's voting record of 2009, her appointment by Obama to be the spokesperson from AZ for his health agenda is "Big" news for voters today.

I think they should be reminded who stands for what!

Elect Bob Thomas District 15 Senate

Last election, I did not believe there was a Senate candidate for District 15 who could adequately represent my views. Rather than continue to talk about a lack of choice, I’ve decided to enter the race and offer voters in the 15th District common sense representation.

Just as each family should be responsible in their finances, I am passionate about government acting and spending our resources responsibly. Education is critical to our changing world, and I believe public education should provide incentives to attract the best and brightest teachers and administrators. Likewise, parents need to have the ultimate choice in where and how their children are educated. Business and our economy are a major corner stone to the freedoms we enjoy, and we must encourage our business leaders to grow and innovate. We need to protect and use our natural resources wisely. I strongly support defending the most vulnerable among us and value the sanctity of human life.

Over the last eight years, my wife Cindy and I have come to love Phoenix and Arizona. We relocated from Mississippi so Cindy could continue her career as a Certified Diabetes Educator and Registered Dietitian.

I was fortunate to have purchased and operated a family furniture store, as well as, businesses in advertising, insurance and heavy equipment distribution. Following the sale of those businesses I became involved in farming and cattle ranching until our move to Phoenix in 2000. Currently I sell and distribute equipment and supplies for the automotive finishing industry.

I value the education and experiences I gained while serving with the 134th Surgical Hospital MASH unit during the Vietnam era.

In Mississippi we helped found a Child Crisis Center, a Group Home for Girls and a Home for the Aging. I currently serve on the Wildlife Conservation Committee with the Arizona Game and Fish department. Living in the Historic Willow’s district, Cindy and I are active with neighborhood activities.

I strongly support the citizen representative form of government we are blessed with and I would appreciate your vote.

Carol Condit District 15 State Representative

I am Caroline B. Condit.

I am an American female nurse who, out of a deep love of my GOD and my country, can no longer deny what I see happening to my country as not being a catastrophic time in my life.

I feel a fear and discord in those I speak with on a day to day basis. I sense the dis-ease that is weighing on peoples shoulders and hear the uncertainty in their asking what we can do to stop this march to the potential loss of our freedoms.

I realize that sense of dis-ease as I too feel it.

I can not stand by and expect “someone else” to fight for my freedom if I too am not willing to step-up to the challenge.

I come from a very diverse background.

I am the daughter of a military wife, 2 military fathers.

I raised two great children on my own.

I am a survivor of a child sexual predator attack.

I have a diverse work background that includes: 40 years as a Nurse, Cosmetologist, rape and suicide counselor, prior authorization Nurse and patient care coordinator for a couple of Insurance third party administrators.

I have worked as an EMT/EMT-A a search and rescue volunteer. I have also worked as an Insurance agent a Loan Officer and a Public Speaking Teacher. I hold an AOS in the Holistic Healthcare field, am a Life Coach and Hospice CLN with Grace Hospice, (a wonderful not for profit Hospice) and last but not least a rescue foster mom for animals cast aside.

I am an AMERICAN first and foremost, who believes our Founding Fathers took their own freedoms to heart enough to fight to assure that same protection to future generations.

I, therefore, feel obligated to my American forefathers to continue their cause today, in protecting our Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution, by serving my fellow American Citizens, man, women and child.

Please help me be a Conservative Republican voice for us in 2010.
