So how do we contact the AZ legislators and let them know that Brewer argued against her own action? If she doesn’t want one person able to make a politically-motivated decision, then we NEED a law that allows the SOS decision to be challenged in court. That’s the only part of this bill that matters whatsoever.
And I would like anybody who would vote against this bill to tell me to my face that eligibility is not the voters’ business. I’d like them to tell that straight out to the faces of every voter in this nation. And then try winning an election.
I think AZ House member Seel(?) is a key legislator who headed up the Bill. He should have a good idea in the next day or two if this veto would be overridden.
It should be noted that the long knives are also out for many important Republican legislators here in Arizona based on the whole Fiesta Bowl fiasco. They are after Russell Pearce, and if he goes down, the whole legislature collapses. The focus for each is probably their own political lives right now.
“that Brewer argued against her own action?”
This is ALL about protecting Obama.
That’s how it is in Obamaworld. Judges rely on twittering and citizens have no standing. Up is down, war is peace, some are more equal than others, some get healthcare waivers, some get to keep their car dealership some don’t.
Next thing you know we’ll have political prisoners thrown in jail for asking to have proof that the commander in chief is a natural born citizen. Oh wait, we already do.
We’ll have talk show hosts write books about tyranny and then turn a blind eye when a decorated military doctor sits in prison. Only some parts of the Constitution matter.
You have to follow the law. They don’t. Hey, Boehner takes his word for it. Good enough for him and Jan Brewer.
We’ve been living in a banana republic since 2008.
You can pull state legislature contact information off the web. Be advised, however, that they tend to be less interested in comments from out of state.
