AZ US Rep. David Schweikert Supports House Select Committee on Benghazi
Press Release
05/02/14
Scottsdale Ariz., May 2, 2014—Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) released the following statement in response to House Speaker John Boehner’s announcement to create a select committee to investigate the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi:
“I strongly support Speaker Boehner’s announcement to create a select committee to investigate the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack,” said Schweikert. "For over two years, the White House has systematically lied and mislead Congress and the American people regarding the terrorist attack in Benghazi."
“The families of those who died in the attack deserve to know what happened to their loved ones and I hope this committee can uncover the reason our Administration felt the need to sweep this tragedy under a rug.”
Congressman Schweikert co-sponsored H.Res. 36 early last year. H.Res. 36 is a resolution to select a committee specifically charged to investigate and report on the attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Congressman Schweikert was also one of the first to sign a discharge petition for Resolution 36.

Chairman Schweikert: Proposed Water Rule Has Serious Deficiencies
Press Release
05/02/14
Scottsdale, Ariz., May 2, 2014— Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ), Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Environment for the House Science, Space, and Technology committee, released a statement after joining House colleagues in a letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy and Department of the Army Secretary John McHugh asking the proposed draft rule defining ‘waters of the United States' be withdrawn and returned for further analysis, revision.
“It is deeply troubling to know that this expansion in overreach by the EPA has been proposed without the independent analysis of the data and science behind the drafted rule,” said Chairman Schweikert. “Administrator McCarthy and Secretary McHugh need to address the legal, economic, and scientific deficiencies of the proposal before moving forward.”
"Although your agencies have maintained that the rule is narrow and clarifies Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction, it in fact aggressively expands federal authority under the CWA while bypassing Congress and creating unnecessary ambiguity," the letter reads. "Moreover, the rule is based on incomplete scientific and economic analysis."
“Compounding both the ambiguity of the rule and the highly questionable economic analysis, the scientific report— which the agencies point to as the foundation of this rule—has been neither peer-reviewed nor finalized,” the letter continues. “The science should always come before a rulemaking, especially in this instance where the scientific and legal concepts are inextricably linked.”
Concerns with the proposed rule are based on charges of over regulation and underwhelming validation. The EPA and U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (Army Corp) proposed rule clarifies protection under the Clean Water Act for streams and wetlands. The entire draft rule can be read here.
The letter to Administrator McCarthy and Secretary McHugh can be read here.

Chairman David Schweikert is the author of the Secret Science Reform Act and a strong advocate for transparent data, evidence, and scientific research. The Secret Science Reform Act, H.R. 4012, prohibits the EPA from proposing regulations based on science that is not transparent or reproducible.
They want to stop us. AZ US Rep David Schweikert
A lot of people ask me why I ran for
Congress, why I am so passionate about telling the truth and fighting to undo
Washington's damage.
The answer is very simple.
It is because I care about saving our
country.
I believe that there are Americans, like you,
who believe that our shared values and the Constitution are worth
defending.
Without question, the presidency of Barack
Obama has put our country in jeopardy.
Look at Obamacare. No other law on the books
is doing more harm to our economy.
Look at what the IRS and the EPA are doing.
Regulations created by bureaucrats who have no idea how they impact people's
lives.
No matter how hard I work for solutions, they
continue to turn up the partisan attack machine. In fact, just this week the
head of the EPA came after lawmakers like me, who dare question the
bureaucracy's power.
I need your help, and I need it
fast.
They are targeting us, and the only way to
stop them is to win in November.
Whether we win or lose depends on
you:
Join me in the fight to save our country. We
must take back our government from Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry
Reid!

2014 Legislative Session Wrap-Up-Michele Reagan Candidate For AZ Secretary of State
In the wee hours of the morning last week, the Arizona
Legislature adjourned the 2014 Session. This Session had no lack of debate, but
when it mattered, there was a great deal of cooperation to get things done for
Arizona. All in all, I believe that our work helps to move our state forward and
make it stronger in the process.
Some Legislative highlights for me
include:
- Almost $200 million NEW K-12 education funding
- More than 200 NEW child protection service caseworkers added
- $38.5 million in NEW funding for our state's Universities
- $120 million over the next 3 years for highway repairs
- Over $6 million to Community Colleges for STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
- Funding for the VA for mental health therapy
- Passing a sex trafficking bill that Governor Brewer has already signed into law
With the 2014 Session behind us, we aren’t finished yet.
We will be holding a Special Session, most likely by the end of May, where we
will address our state’s new child welfare agency. This new agency is replacing
the dysfunctional office of Child Protective Services. We will be working to
establish ground rules, responsibilities, and funding for this new agency in
order to never ignore or fail to investigate cases of children in abusive or
neglected situations.
We accomplished much this Session, and I truly
appreciate your support
as I have served in the Arizona Legislature. Now, I begin a new chapter. I am
running for Arizona Secretary of State and can still use that support
you have given me over the past several years. I face a tough challenge in the
Primary Election, but I am the ONLY candidate that
brings to the table the right combination of a relevant private-sector business
background AND the necessary legislative experience to
fulfill the role of Secretary of State.
Thank you.
Michele
thank you once again! AZ Candidate For US Congress Andy Tobin
Thanks to your continued support last
quarter, my campaign out fundraised all of our primary opponents… combined…
again!
Tonight marks another crucial fundraising
deadline. We need to raise another $2731.49 by 12am tonight to stay on
track with our quarterly fundraising goals. It’s folks like you that will help
us buy signs, radio ads, TV ads and mail to get the message out that Arizona is
done being fooled by Pelosi and Kirkpatrick.
Please help us right now by donating $39,
$49, $99, $299 or whatever you can afford to help us reach our goals!
Thanks!

AZ Senator John McCain:Will you help fix Washington?
We have an opportunity this year to change Washington.
You see, considering the fact that mid-term elections in a president's second term have historically been a time when the voters turn their ire on the political party that controls the White House, I am very optimistic about our opportunities to win this November.
Simply put, the 2014 elections offer us a great opportunity to win back a Republican Majority in the United States Senate.
And, winning the six seats we need for a Republican Majority in the U.S. Senate and protecting our U.S. House Majority are Country First PAC's top priorities this election cycle.
That's why I'm writing to you today. In order to support races across the United States we need to raise $25,000 this week.
If you agree that everything we believe in is on the line this election, then I hope you will show your support by making a much needed contribution of $25, $50, $75 or more.
Country First's impact in many elections starts with us getting involved in highly competitive races early in the election cycle. The clock is now ticking for us to do just that for 2014.
That is why I am asking you to help us with a generous contribution of $50 or more today. Please follow this link to make an immediate online contribution.
I'll be traveling across our country in the coming months to campaign with our Country First PAC endorsed candidates. But what they need most right now are the critical funds to strengthen their campaigns and get their message out.
You are our country's best hope for success. Please stay in this fight with me. Our country needs your help now more than ever. As always, I thank you for your unwavering patriotism and support.
Sincerely,
John McCain
P.S. Please help ensure that Country First can make a critical difference in key campaigns by sending a generous contribution of $50 or more to help us reach our goal of raising $25,000. Thank you.
US Congressman David Schweikert critical deadline, just a few hours
This weekend, we are facing a tough deadline.
We need to raise $7,500 online.
In the next few hours, can I count on your
support?
Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi
have big plans for 2014.
Make no mistake, they are not looking to lose
an inch of ground.
You and I know better. We have a country to
save. We can put a stop to the liberal disastrous policies that trample all
over the US Constitution.
We cannot afford to lose this year. We must
save this country and undo Washington's damage.
I'm counting on your
help!

David Schweikert
PS: With just a few hours to go, will you
join me and help us reach our weekend deadline of $7,500 online?? I'm counting
on your help!!

Sal and I need your help
As you know the last campaign was a tough one for Sal and our family. Your help was critical for the victory, but more importantly for the future direction of Phoenix.
We hate to ask again,
but with this election cycle we really need to bolster our defense
against the future attacks that we hear are coming.
Last election we did not move fast enough and the
government unions spent over $1
million in the race to try to stop the
reforms Sal was getting through City Hall. Reforms that are meant to protect
the city and reforms that are designed to protect all of our families from the
fiscal nightmare cities like Detroit are witnessing across our great
country.
We cannot be caught off guard
again.
The last election you
gave a generous donation of $200.00. I am asking if you could match that again
this time.
Additionally, the
contribution limits have changed and any individual can now give $2,500 per
person.
We wouldn’t be asking
if we didn’t need your help. To make an on-line contribution please follow the
link to:
If
you would rather send a check, please send it to our home address with the check
made out to DiCiccio for City Council. With a check contribution we will also
need:
A full
name, address (city, state, and zip), occupation, and employer.
Thanks
again and we continue to appreciate your support!

you need to reach me, you can call me on my personal cell at 602-885-0642

thank you so much for all the help you have given us.

Interview with National Review-AZ Candidate For Governor Doug Ducey
Recently I was interviewed by National
Review about my campaign for Arizona governor.
I encourage you to take time to read it and and
ask that you forward it to your friends, family, neighbors, and anyone else who
might be interested in the campaign.
This is a fair interview, and we covered lots of
ground. If someone wants to learn about me and my approach to the issues, this
is a good read.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Endorses AZ Candidate Andy Tobin for Congress
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Endorses
Andy Tobin for Congress
World’s Largest Business Federation
Pledges Support for Tobin
Citing Tobin’s extensive and proven track
record of advocating for Arizona’s business and economic development
opportunities, The United States Chamber of Commerce announced their endorsement
today for Andy Tobin’s campaign for Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. The
U.S. Chamber pledges the full support of Arizona’s business community as Tobin
campaigns throughout the district.
“In today’s economy, it is critical that
members of Congress provide strong support of free enterprise and leadership for
policies that will return America to its full growth potential,” said U.S.
Chamber National Political Director Rob Engstrom. "We're proud to stand with
Andy Tobin and his candidacy for Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional
District. Andy has a demonstrated record of promoting Arizona jobs, and in this
race is the clear choice to lead on policies that will boost economic growth,
create jobs and get our country back on track.”
“It is no surprise that the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce, the nation’s leading voice for job creators, has endorsed Andy
Tobin for Congress,” said U.S. Chamber of Commerce Public Affairs Committee
Member Glenn Hamer. “Andy Tobin has been one of the most consequential Arizona
legislators in a generation. Few can match his reputation for tax cuts,
regulatory reform and tort reform, which have helped spur growth in our economy
and made Arizona a much more competitive and attractive state for business. The
U.S. Chamber’s endorsement is an acknowledgment of what we in Arizona have known
for many years: Andy Tobin will fight tirelessly for jobs and a stronger
economy.”
“The United States Chamber of Commerce is
a key leader in our fight for economic development and job creation in Arizona,”
said Tobin. “I am proud to say that we have made incredible strides to recover
jobs, nurture a pro-business environment and attract international companies to
Arizona in the past decade. But the work is not done. Having the support of Rob
Engstrom, Glenn Hamer and the U.S. Chamber is a valuable resource in my fight to
restore more Arizona jobs. When America’s businesses recover and thrive, our
country as a whole will return to being an economic leader. I sincerely thank
The United States Chamber of Commerce for endorsing my campaign. I look forward
to taking proven Arizona solutions to Washington.”

this is a BIG race! AZ Candidate for US Congress Andy Tobin
I had no idea that DNC Chair Debbie
Wasserman Schultz was running for Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional
District. Did you?
Yesterday Wasserman Schultz sent the
following email to Kirkpatrick supporters. This is even more proof that the Dem
elites like Pelosi and now Wasserman Schultz are scared over Kirkpatrick losing
her seat.
Perhaps it’s due to Kirkpatrick voting
against paying life-saving Veterans benefits on time or her consistent votes for
ObamaCare?
Andy will faithfully represent your voice
in Washington. But he needs all of our help to ensure he has the resources to
battle Wasserman Schultz, Pelosi and Kirkpatrick.
Thanks!
