Call or e-mail Governor Jan Brewer…NOW!

by on Apr. 19, 2011, under Arizona, Arizona Legislature, City Council, Democratic Party, economy, Jan Brewer, Steve Kozachik, Tucson

I usually don’t yell, but this is very important.

A few of State Senator Frank Antenori’s mean-spirited anti-Tucson bills may hit Governor Jan Brewer’s desk as early as Wednesday, April 20.

John C. Scott interviewed Councilman Steve Kozachik on the Jolt 1330 AM on Tuesday. Kozachik detailed the bills that comprise Antenori’s vendetta against Tucson and reminded people about his petition against legislation that subverts local control of government. (You can still sign this by clicking the link.)

…I invite you as an individual to join me in standing up for the independent and unquestionable rights of our local governments to decide what is right for our communities. By clicking this link and signing this petition your affirmation will be automatically forwarded onto the State Legislature and to the Governor’s office. Please take the time to give your opinion a voice.

Soooooo…. my Liberal Readers… the time to act is now.

Go ahead and click on Koz’s petition. (There are 678 right now– almost double from yesterday’s count.)

But also, call or e-mail Brewer separately from the petition. Seriously, we need to flood her office to the point where she can’t ignore us.

Tell Brewer to veto these anti-Tucson bills– mostly proposed by Antenori. The bills that are nearing passage in the Arizona Legislature (which may come tonight, according to Koz) are: SB1345 and 1347 cutting city staff to a percentage of the population (which means 1/2 of the city’s workers would be immediately unemployed) and regulating city employee’s salaries; the SB1322 forcing the city to bid every contract over $75,000 (thus adding a ton of bureaucracy to a shrinking city payroll); SB1201 allowing guns in public buildings; and SCR1025 eliminating Tucson’s clean elections law.

Here is the link to send an e-mail to the Governor.

Here are the mailing address, telephone and FAX numbers.

The Honorable Jan Brewer
Governor of Arizona
1700 West Washington
Phoenix, Arizona 85007

Telephone (602) 542-4331
In State Toll Free 1-(800) 253-0883 (outside Maricopa County only)
Fax (602) 542-1381

Don’t let them destroy our City.

Recall Antenori!

Pass this on!

P. S. Where is the rest of our city government? Koz already put his neck on the chopping block for Tucson, what about the other 6 of you? I’d suggest hopping into a city van and going to the Governor’s office on Wednesday.

    You are so so confused.
    Jan Brewer does not let her actions be influenced by calls, votes, or emails.
    It takes water.  That’s the only thing that will make her melt.
    Sure, don’t take me seriously, but look at the facts.  Neither votes, calls, nor emails make a different.  Just you wait till someone squirts this wicked witch with water.

    Maybe that is why all circuits were busy? Everyone from Tucson is calling Gov. Brewer’s office?
    Time for Tucson to secede. Hasta la vista Antenori.
    Do we have to live in district 30 to sign the recall Antenori petition?

    Dear Governor Jan Brewer,

    I have just read that the State of Arizona may take the right of a Jury trial from those who drink and drive for the first time. I do not approve of driving while intoxicated but it would be better to make the punishment more harsh then to take the right to jury trial away from any american. This is just a bad idea in my opinion.
