We pray for the innocent victims and Divine Guidance for all involved in Israel and the Middle East, that politicians do not pull the entire region or world into it.

We pray the House of Representatives use wisdom and discernment in their votes for Speaker.

We pray for the Border Patrol Agents and other Law Enforcement Officers that they are safe from the violence, disease, and despair so prevalent in their efforts to keep us safe.

I wear many hats as a YavGOP PC and a couple more hats outside YavGOP. For the purposes of this article, I am ONLY wearing my YavGO PC hat.

When I look back at all the Quarterly Meetings I have attended, I see some recuring issues.

1.      PCs not attending at all

2.      PCs ONLY attending via Proxy

3.      PCs leaving before the meeting has concluded

4.      PCs not being prepared for the meeting

5.      PCs not keeping up with what’s going on

6.      PCs not knowing who can vote on what types of business

In my opinion, unless you are newly appointed and have not yet attended a PC orientation, there is no excuse for any of these issues. As PCs we have a duty to our elected or appointed position to attend all Quarterly Meetings in person, (when necessary, by proxy), to stay for the entire meeting, be prepared for the meeting, keep up with what’s going on, and know what types of business we can and can not participate in.

The current EC has listed the Quarterly Meeting dates for the rest of 2023 and 2024. Put these dates on your calendar today. They are listed in every Stampede (here is the posting so you do not have to look it up!):

What: GMRW Monthly Meeting

When:  October 19th, 2023

Time:  9:00 a.m. Breakfast Club

Where:  Centennial Center  1989 Clubhouse Dr, Prescott, AZ 86301

At our October 19th meeting, we will blessed to have Bob Hughes as our guest speaker. Many of you may not have heard his name as he is a “behind the scene” kind of worker.

Bob Hughes has 50 years of experience in the printing industry—16 of which have been in “printing ballots for Maricopa County Elections,” according to his affidavit. He also helped “establish the auditing criteria for the printing and paper portion of the 2020 Maricopa County ballot audit and helped select and set up the equipment used during the audit to do the ballot counting.”

On Mar. 6, 2023, he and his team reviewed the Logic and Accuracy reports (L&A) for the 2022 Maricopa County Election. Hughes and his team “physically inspected the ballots at MCTEC that were used in the testing of the election tabulators.” They also reviewed each of the Maricopa County Voting Center certification reports and the Tabulator reports that were “printed during their testing.” His affidavit clarifies explicitly that “[t]he most important and notable finding is that every machine and every voting center report show that every test was passed without any failures.”



Logically, Hughes concludes that the shenanigans must have been introduced after testing because the “L&A tests showed no errors.” And, since poll workers have no access to the printer command module, the “interference had to come through the online E-poll book and then to the printers.” Many printers at multiple locations—with a “high correlation of those within Republican precincts,” leaving Hughes with the impression it was “not happenstance but an orchestrated attack on the election.”

His presentation is guaranteed to be riveting and I hope you will prioritize coming to hear him. October 19th meeting will be a breakfast which has quickly become a favorite for all members.

Many thanks to members of the EC and other chairmen for forwarding your concerns regarding proposed bylaw amendments.

The Bylaws and Resolutions are written by concerned PCs and do not seek the approval of the EC before they go to the Committee of the Whole. Thus, IF you and other sub-committee CHAIRMEN are genuinely concerned and seek an understanding of anything to do with the Bylaws Committee it would be greatly appreciated if you contacted me rather than others.

Finger-pointing or gotcha attitudes do not make for a healthy sharing of ideas and do not contribute to the betterment of YavGop.

Respectfully, Rose Sperry, Bylaws Chair Chalitasrose@protonmail.com 928-300-2837

Let's Examine Some Real Crimes Committed By Presidents

BY TYLER DURDEN | OCT 06, 2023 - 04:15 PM

Authored by Connor O'Keeffe via the Mises Institute,

But there’s an entire class of people above the law. Or who at least act like they’re above the law—the political class. The hypocrisies of their effort to convict Trump and block him from holding office again reveal that the motivations are purely political—not born of some commitment to a higher moral or legal principle.



Two broad schools of thought make up Western legal philosophy. They are natural law theory and legal positivism. Natural law theory says that law exists regardless of the dictates of states. That justice is derived from nature and common to all humans. Simply put, natural law theorists argue that a crime is a crime regardless of what the state says. That makes killing another human with malice aforethought murder, for example, even when it’s done with the blessings of government officials.

On Sept. 30, 2023, Microsoft will Enable Mass

Surveillance and AI Training with User Data

Technology, Windows



• 130 products covered in massive policy shift including Windows
• Windows users to be tracked for “hate speech”, new policies allow Microsoft to use your personal data for sweeping new purposes, including to train their AI.
• 
  

Big news–Microsoft is enacting substantial changes to its services agreement on September 30th, 2023 that privacy advocates argue will expand the company’s ability to monitor users and utilize their personal data to train artificial intelligence.

130 Microsoft Products covered by the new policy changes

The new policies will cover over 130 Microsoft products including Windows, Office, Teams, Skype, and Xbox. The agreement contains vague references to scanning user content and sharing data with third parties. Experts from Mozilla found the terms so unclear they could not ascertain the full implications for customer privacy.
