The EC and various committees are working hard getting the 2024 Voter Action Plan detailed out and ready for presentation at the Dec. 9 meeting. This is fine tuning the "Drive Voter Turnout" plank of the 2-year Strategic Plan.

We have a great 12/9 meeting in the works:

• limited Officer & Committee reports
• the Heartland Singers with some Christmas Carols
• Hot BRUNCH
• exciting speakers who will be announced in the Call to Meeting, scheduled for email distribution 11/26
• 50/50 raffle
• wear your green and RED!! Tinsel gets extra points!

The Dec. 9th meeting is a Mandatory meeting (rather than a Special meeting). The closed portion which only PCs and Chair invited special guests may attend will be from 9-10am. Then the meeting will be open to spouses and other pre-registered guests beginning at 10am, so they can hear our speakers and join in holiday socializing.

Please invite a friend or neighbor who might want to become a PC as your guest!

Please contact me directly to pre-register guests you would like to invite. To be clear: ALL guests MUST be pre-registered with me at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. Guests who are NOT applicant/waiting PCs must pay the $10 meeting fee to help cover venue and brunch.

Arizona’s election processes are under attack!

We’ve told you what’s wrong with Ranked Choice Voting in past Stampede editions. Rep Austin Smith sponsored HCR 2033 that prohibits any election law in Arizona that is contrary to the direct primary election in the Arizona state constitution. That will be on the ballot in 2024.

 City of Prescott using polling platform Polco to participate in the National Community Survey (NCS)

The City of Prescott has contracted with polling platform Polco to participate in the National Community Survey (NCS), a community-wide survey designed to identify clear priorities for use in strategic planning and budget setting.

“There will be an open survey, available on the city’s website, with a link active starting on Monday, Nov. 6,” stated an Oct. 31 news release from the city. “Go to https://www.prescott-az.gov/, and look for the link on the homepage, or go directly to https://participateprescott.com/ to learn more and take the survey beginning Nov. 6.”

Earlier this month, 3,000 citizens were randomly selected to receive a mailed survey. The mail survey will be open for response through Nov. 21. The news release notes that those residents who received a mailed survey should complete that one, while other residents can complete the survey online.

“If you did not receive a mailed survey, or you were not the person to respond to the survey in your household, please complete the online survey,” the news release adds.

Polco is an online community engagement polling platform that is conducting the NCS. Polco launches surveys and analyzes the data, providing local governments and other public sector leaders with important information needed to make decisions within the community. Hundreds of organizations nationwide use Polco for strategic planning, budgeting, and empowering resident voices, says the news release.

The Polco survey is separate from other surveys the city is currently conducting, including one on the General Plan update and another on the Highway 89 improvements.

OPINION:

Second Amendment Wakeup Call – in Gaza

Eagle Skyline Newsletter

The genocidal atrocities committed by Hamas against Israeli Jews and other innocents in Gaza on October 7,2023 are rightfully condemned by all Americans and our YavGOP display of support for Israel in the Prescott Courthouse Plaza since Nov. 4 later was well founded.

Constitutional Conservatives must take note that the genocide perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 highlights the importance and the distinction of our U. S. Constitution and the Second Amendment that is unique only to America.

As gun rights advocate and author, Doris Wise recently expounded: 

“What happened in Israel can and will happen here. It’s not like we didn’t have all kinds of evidence for that over the last 22 years…”

The daughter of holocaust survivors, Wise founded her non-profit Jews Can Shoot ten years ago after eight years of holding monthly events educating and warning people about the cultural and political ways our civilization was being undermined and subverted. She hoped to inspire others to prevent the coming calamity. She urges that Jews should, now more than ever, learn to shoot and arm themselves. Sadly, there is no second amendment in Israel and gun rights are greatly regulated with draconian restrictions there. Wise opines:

“If there is any one people on this earth who must show the world that they can shoot, it is the Jews… If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons,” wrote Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Alex Kozinski in a gun control case 20 years ago, “six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.”

And if Israelis had been so armed on October 7, they would not so easily have been savaged and murdered by the barbaric Hamas terrorists.

Only because Hamas fighters had no reason to fear for their own safety, and knowing that Israelis were defenseless, were they able to pull off such an atrocity. Israel’s willingness to leave its citizens so vulnerable is simply incomprehensible. Was it not a mere 80 years ago when defenseless Jews were led to the slaughter?” https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/now-more-than-ever-jews-must-learn-to-shoot

As Wise predicts, the present fervor will no doubt subside and the headlines will soon change… “but Jews in America –must step up and support our Second Amendment…. The Second Amendment is our best hope for survival.”

Constitutional Conservatives and Second Amendment advocates take heed: never again is NOW. The wisdom of Justice Kozinski cannot be overstated. The second amendment is indeed key to our survival.

Lawmaker Calls Out University of Arizona Law School for Groups Endorsing Hamas

Arizona State Representative Alma Hernandez has called out her alma mater, University of Arizona (UArizona) Law, for the endorsement of Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization, issued by a coalition of its groups.

Those students who endorsed the statement were part of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) of UArizona, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the Latina Law Students Association, South Asian Law Students Association, Environmental Law Society, Justice Advocates Coalition, Arizona Journal for Environmental Law and Policy, and several current law students.

The Arizona State University (ASU) NLG also signed onto the letter. Hernandez said she was “disgusted” by the UArizona NLG statement.

In their letter, the UArizona students said Israel was to blame for the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which escalated last month by an overnight terrorist attack committed by Hamas — which the groups justified. They accused Israel of genocide, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid, and added that the U.S. has been complicit.

The UArizona students criticized their president, Robert Robbins, for calling Hamas support on his campus “objectionable or hateful.” The students said the lack of support for Hamas’ effort amounted to support for discrimination and hate.

The groups said that Israel was an illegitimate entity, a “Zionist, settler colonial project” unlawfully occupying land between the Mediterranean Sea and the borders of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Egypt.

The students concluded their letter with a call for a boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, a cease-fire, and the freeing of the Holy Land Foundation Five, who were imprisoned for providing material support to Hamas.

NLG UArizona hosted a walkout and rally in support of Hamas on Thursday.

It’s Time for Mainstream America to

Chart a New Digital Path Forward

It’s time for mainstream America to chart a new Digital Path Forward

The United States must retain the freedom to search for and find the truth in order to maintain our competitive advantage over other nations. Unlike countries such as China where the communist party controls all aspects of life, including the media and information citizens can access, the American founding fathers envisioned the U.S. as the freest nation in the world.

When the government censors social media, as recent administrations have begun to do with tactics similar to China’s, it severely limits citizens’ ability to seek truth and damages the open society our founders conceptualized. Acting in the interest of all citizens, and with the best interests of our nation at heart, it’s time for Mainstream America to chart a new Digital Path forward.

The DOJ is Preparing for ‘Surge’ of Covid Vaccine Injury Lawsuits

By Kyle Becker - November 13, 2023

The Justice department is quietly preparing for a surge of lawsuits from those who are claiming injury from the Covid-19 vaccines. The New York Post, in a column authored by Miranda Devine, shared a fascinating nugget that is highly suggestive that the Biden DOJ knows a wave of such lawsuits are coming.

Devine points to a new jobs ad that indicates the Biden administration is searching for “eight new attorneys to defend the federal government in vaccine injury cases. The office is currently expanding to address workload created by an increase in cases filed under the Vaccine Act,” says the ad posted by the Torts Branch of the DOJ on the USAJobs website. The jobs listing was also posted on LinkedIn.
