Happy Independence Day! Jeff Schwartz AZ State Senate Candidate LD 23
Happy 4th of July!
Independence Day means many things to Americans. Parades, hot dog eating contests, baseball, and barbecuing are all a part of this celebration. But most of all July 4th represents something uniquely American -- our freedom.
As we gather to celebrate this year, let us remember how important that freedom is and never take it for granted. From here in Arizona to our military bases around the globe, let freedom ring not only on July 4th, but every day throughout the world.
May you have a happy and festive 4th of July!
Celebrating Our Independence
For two hundred and
thirty
In
the document the Second Continental Congress sent to King George, the words
alone were very powerful. "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all
men are created equal." That one line is significant due to its sheer
boldness for that time in history. The founding fathers proclaimed that if it
is evident to us that men are created equally, then why isn't it to
you?
Today,
we hardly think that the idea that all men are created equal is radical
or even revolutionary. But for the founding fathers to proudly proclaim such a
belief took guts, courage and insight. Since then, the principles espoused in
the Declaration of Independence have been used throughout the course of American
history to win freedoms and civil rights for those originally left out. Battles
in the court room, at the ballot box, and on the battlefield have won freedoms
and liberties for countless millions here and around the globe.
We
have the world's oldest written constitution. Nations around the world have
shaped their own system of government with it as a guide. Yet it is the simple,
magnificent idea of equality and self-governance spelled out in the Declaration
of Independence that makes our republic the most successful form of government
in world history.
Winston
Churchill said, "democracy is the worst form of
government except all the others that have been tried," - and that
old adage remains true. Is our Government perfect? Of course not. But because
of the principles and values that serve as its backbone, it is able to evolve,
improve and reflect the sentiments of the time.
I
hope everyone has a joyous celebration this year. While we are celebrating our
independence, imagine what our society would be like if it not for the
determination of our founding fathers and commitment of those willing to fight
for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

With the benefit of a large base of volunteers and supporters,
we have been successful so far in raising funds and getting the word out. I am
walking the neighborhoods, placing street signs, attending meetings and holding
fundraising events. I have had the opportunity to listen to lots of folks. We
even had a highly successful fundraiser held by my friends in Bullhead

Cops are like Nazis?
Yes, you read that subject line
correctly, Gary Kiehne
compared police officers who were risking their lives to safely evacuate citizens
from the devastating Wallow Fire to Nazis.
How insulting can you be?
Kiehne just went on air with some ads to try to distract
voters from his record
of outlandish, bizarre and insulting comments about our
brave law enforcement
officials.
We need your
help to fight back!
Kiehne’s insulting comments were so bad, Arizona’s
Fraternal Order of Police said they
were “Beyond the pale”, and the Arizona Police
Association—which represents 14,000 law
enforcement officers—called on Kiehne to resign
from the campaign.
What was the Kiehne campaign’s response to the 7,500
member Fraternal Order of Police? No
response.
In fact, he’s been in hiding for the past month since
making these outrageous remarks—and for
good reason. Now he’s trying to buy this race with TV ads that distract voters from his offensive comments—but Arizonans
are smarter than that.
I’m as shocked as you that people who want to hold
elected office would make such an insulting
statement about the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to make sure we are safe.
One thing is clear: Gary Kiehne is unfit to
serve in public office.
We need somebody like Andy Tobin, who is
supported by numerous law enforcement
officials like Pinal County Sheriff Paul
Babeau, retired Coconino Sheriff Joe Richards, Graham County
Sheriff P.J. Allred, Mohave County Sheriff Tom Sheahan and the Arizona
Highway Patrol Association, just
to name a few.
Arizona’s 1st Congressional District is not
for sale-especially by someone who compares our
brave law enforcement to Nazis.
Help Andy take his message of securing our
border, cutting taxes, and creating good paying American jobs to
Washington by contributing
$10, $25 or $50 today.
With Andy Tobin you know you’re getting a battle-tested
conservative who is ready to serve!

Obama and the Liberal Immigration Attorneys
Governor Jan Brewer is right.
Barack Obama's failed immigration policy threatens lives and our national security. Instead of granting blanket amnesty to thousands of people who entered our country illegally, the President should first secure our border.
On issue after issue, I am the only Republican candidate for Governor to stand with Governor Brewer. Last week, I called on the President and DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson to use the Expedited Removal Hearings process to speed up the removal of the more than 90,000 illegal immigrants who have crossed the American border since October.
I believe the Obama Administration needs to stop empowering the coyotes, cartels and organized crime syndicates who traffic in human beings. We can't allow criminals to continue to profit by luring tens of thousands more children and families by giving them false hope. These predators are victimizing would-be border crossers, and the Administration is aiding and abetting that crime. We need to send an unequivocal message not to leave your homeland.
Because I stand with Governor Brewer and because I am opposed to
the Obama Administration failed policies, I am now being attacked in the media
by liberal immigration attorneys who support amnesty. That is why I am emailing
you today.
Please click here now to make a donation of $500, $175, $85 or whatever you can afford to my campaign. I need your immediate help to respond and get our message out!
As Mayor of Mesa, we enforced the laws, apprehended illegal immigrants and made Mesa one of the safest big cities in America.
As Governor, I will do the same for Arizona. Please click here now to stand with me today!
Sincerely,
Scott Smith
Republican Candidate for Governor

AZ Heather Carter: Disparities in cancer treatment costs shouldn’t determine patient care...
Yesterday, at Virginia G.
Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare, we celebrated Governor Brewer
signing my cost-parity bill for oral anticancer drugs. HB 2078 is one of the
bills I was proudest to sponsor last session.
Beginning January 1,
2016, health insurance companies will not be allowed to charge cancer patients
different amounts for oral treatment versus injections or those administered
intravenously. Now instead of being financially pressured into one type of
treatment, patients can consult with their doctors and families and make
healthcare decisions based on the patient’s individual
circumstances.
With the passage and
signing of HB2078, I’m very pleased that our elected officials did the right
thing to stand up and represent all cancer patients. By requiring insurance
plans that already cover cancer treatments to treat all cancer drugs equally, it
is now up to patients working with their doctors to decide what is the best
available course of treatment for their condition. This also opens up a world of
affordable options for rural cancer patients who don’t live near a treatment
center.
HB 2078 will grant
patients more access, more affordability, and most importantly, more choice in
selecting their treatments.
Sincerely,

One Step Closer to Eliminating Obamacare
This morning, the Supreme Court brought us one step closer to eliminating Obamacare and all of its unconstitutional mandates.
In the case of Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., the Justices ruled that employers cannot force the Obamacare contraception mandate on its employees.
Indeed, this is a major blow to President Obama and his quest to impose his liberal agenda on all Americans.
But far more importantly, this is a major victory for religious freedom and free speech for all Americans.
Unfortunately, not all of Obamacare was ruled unconstitutional today. Congress must continue the fight to repeal and replace it.
That's where your help comes in.
Since being sworn into Congress, I have fought tooth and nail to eliminate every bit of Obamacare before it causes more disruptions to your healthcare and more damage to our economy.
But I need your help so I can continue to lead this fight in Congress.
My campaign is less than $3,000 away from meeting its goal before tonight's end-of-the-quarter deadline – will you help me reach it by making a donation of $10 right now?
Thank you in advance for your financial support, and allowing me to fight for your values in Congress.
Sincerely,
PS – If everyone who reads this email contributes $10, I will surpass my goal for this quarter and put my campaign in strong position for re-election. Please donate before midnight by clicking here, and let's continue to fight until all of Obamcare is repealed!
