Let’s talk about YavGOP meeting types.

Wooohoo...sooooo exciting!

The Bylaws describe 3 meeting types: Statutory/Organizational, Mandatory, and Special.

All meetings are mandatory to attend, but one of them is “named” Mandatory as well.

The December meeting in odd years is expressly denoted as a Mandatory meeting, which precedes the AZGOP State Mandatory meeting that is held in January. Per the Bylaws, the Mandatory meeting is for the purpose of "receiving reports of officers and for the purpose of conducting other authorized business."

Mandatory meetings do not have the same timeline for sending the Call to Meeting that Special meetings require. Special requires notice given 30 days prior; all other meetings require notice 10 days prior.

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

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.

Stampede Readers respond:

With our own country—our own state for that matter—being invaded as we speak, we have no business getting involved in yet another foreign conflict. Our resources are needed here. I abhor what is being done by both sides in the Middle East, and our country’s own hands are not clean in this. Somehow we humans, with our gifts of courage and compassion, must figure out a way to have peace among all our peoples.

I stand against all these pointless wars that benefit only the parasites who start them and are enriched by them while the young men and women who must fight against each other are maimed and killed. This is like the Hunger Games. If individuals feel strongly about one partisan or another, that is their prerogative, but please do not involve the Yavapai County Republican Party in this. -Carol McManus

Grassley wrote a letter Tuesday night to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray and said the FBI sources “provided criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden,” Fox News first reported. (RELATED: Ukrainian Firm Tied To Hunter Planned Meetings With DC Lawmakers After Joe Biden Got Prosecutor Fired, Memo Shows)

US halts civilian firearms and ammunition exports for 90 days

By Madeleine Hubbard Published: October 29, 2023 11:32am | Updated: October 29, 2023 11:34am

The United States for the next 90 days will no longer issue new export licenses for ammunition and firearms to non-governmental users globally, except for those in select locations, the Commerce Department said. The agency "will further assess current firearm export control review policies to determine whether any changes are warranted to advance U.S. national security and foreign policy interests" during the 90-day pause, the department said Friday.

Biden Admin Targets Nation’s Largest Private Christian University

By Corinne Murdock

The Biden administration has set its sights on the largest private Christian university in the nation: Arizona’s Grand Canyon University (GCU). 

For over half a decade the Department of Education (ED) has denied GCU’s IRS-granted nonprofit status. After GCU pushed back with legal action, the Biden administration responded with the full force of bureaucracy: a multi-agency attack to discredit and impose hefty fines on the university. 

GCU President Brian Mueller told AZ Free News that ED’s rejection of a university’s IRS designation was new and unprecedented. Mueller maintained that ED offered “inapplicable criteria” for the denial. 

The president couldn’t say with certainty whether the true cause of the ED targeting had to do with religious or political differences but didn’t rule out the possibility. 

“It’s obviously something other than the facts at hand,” said Mueller. “Is it because we have 30,000 graduates on an annual basis, where they’re studying from a Christian worldview?”
