The Choice of Conservative Leaders Statewide
AZ Rep David Schweikert An Update: What we're working on
Last
week pulled our attention in many different directions. I want to share with you
what happened while I was in D.C., some good news I've read, and some
suggestions my team and I have for you.
The President's Law of
Unintended Consequences is Unaccompanied
We've all heard the news stories about the hundreds and
thousands of unaccompanied children that have crossed our borders on their own.
Many are in a state of limbo sleeping on the floor or on cots in the detention
centers in Southern Arizona. This news is an example of the unintended
consequences of President Obama’s disregard for the rule of law. President Obama
and his administration, through actions and words, have pushed their plan for
amnesty of illegal immigrants, while unilaterally relaxing our border and
interior enforcement.
In
the early years of the Unaccompanied Minor Program within the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), less than 10,000 children were crossing the
border illegally without any family members annually. Last year we saw over
30,000 children cross our borders unaccompanied and may see as many as 80,000
children placed in the hands of border patrol, and ultimately, HHS by the end of
this fiscal year.
If
President Obama truly cared for these young children, he would work with
Congress to fix our broken immigration system. Short term measures and
unilateral action are not the solution to our illegal immigration crisis.
The Southwest Just GAINed
Some Great Attention
Thanks to the combined efforts of scientists, doctors,
advocates and the Valley Fever Congressional Task
The
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) introduced the GAIN Act in July of 2012 to
encourage the development of new antibacterial and antifungal drugs that would
prevent serious or even life-threatening infections. Qualifying Valley Fever as
an orphan disease under the GAIN Act will allow for expedited processing of
medicinal and procedural advancements, cutting much of the FDA’s bureaucratic
red tape.
Because of this good
news, Valley Fever has a chance to be given the full force of resources needed
for scientists and doctors to develop a vaccine and cure for this disease. I
look forward to seeing what the medical community here in Arizona will
accomplish as a result of this good news.
Did you know we can help
you with that?
Tax season just ended but that
doesn't mean the filing season is over. Last week we received a record number of
calls about delays and concerns with tax returns, receipts, and filings. For
those of you who filed an extension, you may still be waiting to see the results
of your return.
If you haven't received your
tax return and are concerned there may be a delay, my team and I are here to
help. It is our duty to serve you and work with you and any federal agency to
help you understand the status of your claims or filings.
Take a look at my my website's IRS
assistance page and give my team and me a call at (480) 946-2411. The office
is open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
I hope this email proved informative for you as you
reflect on the news of this week. As always, don't hesitate to reach out if I
can do anything for you.
Sincerely,
What
I'm Reading...
Rather
than going cap in hand to a banker, those with a fledgling business can resort
to crowdfunding – going straight to investors – and customers – for the money,
often at cheaper rates. Read more by clicking on the title
In the
District...
Packages from Home is always accepting donations
for our service men and women away from home. We just need a few more bags of
food and toiletry items so we can drop off the goods downtown. If you and your
family are looking for a service project, learn more about how you can help, here.
Thumbs
up to local Desert
Signs owners Brice & Trish Dill for their work ethic and dedication to small
business growth here in the community.
One last
thing...
The weather isn't getting any cooler. Remeber to
keep your four-legged friends at home-- even if it's just a quick trip to the
grocery store.
Dogs and cats handle heat differently and a hot
car can get dangerous quickly! If you are new to the area and aren't sure what
to expect for your pets in the triple-digit summers, look
here for some quick tips from the Arizona Humane Society.

Obamacare didn't go far enough?
Sinema outlined her support for the single-payer, VA-type system, in a letter she co-signed and presented to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Following the roll-out of this disastrous legislation that has hurt so many Arizonans, Kathleen Sebelius no longer holds her position as HHS Secretary. One down, one to go.
Hard working Arizonans deserve patient-centered health care
reform that will lower costs, and increase quality and choice. These reforms
include policy portability, interstate insurance purchasing, tax reform,
expanding high-risk pools, HSAs, block grant Medicaid funding, tort reform,
among many more.We have great ideas that don't include a government takeover of your healthcare decisions, but I need you to join me to ensure Kyrsten Sinema joins Kathleen Sebelius as a former government employee. Your contribution of $75, $50, $25, $10, or whatever you can give, helps fund Kyrsten Sinema's retirement party.
Sincerely,
Andrew Walter
Andy Tobin-Join me in Marana Arizona!
Please
join Andy at an upcoming meet and greet on Wednesday, June 18th!
Mayor
Ed Honea and Councilwoman Patti Comerford will be in attendance to show
their support for Andy, the only conservative candidate who is a proven leader
and strong advocate for rural Arizona.
Andy
will be available to answer your questions and speak about the importance of
fighting back against the overreach of the federal government, the
scandal-plagued Obama Administration, the national debt, and how together as a
nation we can make America great again. Andy will take to Washington the same
conservative principles that he has demonstrated in leadership as Speaker of the
Arizona House such as cutting government spending, reducing taxes, and creating
jobs.
“Marana
needs a battle-tested conservative like Andy Tobin now more than ever, Tobin has
been fighting the battles that others only talk about. He’s been working towards
a better Arizona for the better part of a decade. He has worked hard to shield
Arizona from ObamaCare. He has made our state the freest in the country when it
comes to 2nd Amendment rights. While others talk about what they’ll do to limit
government, Andy has cut Arizona’s state government by more than 20 percent.
While others talk about the need for a balanced budget, Andy has balanced ours.
He will faithfully represent us in Congress. It is for these reasons that I am
endorsing Andy Tobin for U.S. Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional
District."
-Councilwoman
Patti Comerford
“There
is no other candidate in the race for Arizona’s 1st Congressional District that
I would consider supporting. Tobin is a battle-tested conservative hero of
individual freedom, job creation, economic development and 2nd Amendment rights.
He has been fighting against ObamaCare since the law was first introduced. He
battles for smaller government, lower taxes and balanced budgets everyday. Tobin
is the reason we have concealed carry, E-Verify, and a ban on partial-birth
abortion. It is for these reasons and many others that I am proudly
endorsing Andy Tobin for Congress. I encourage anyone who
values individual liberty and our Constitution to do the same.”

Another Big Endorsement!
Less than a
week after former Governor Jane Dee Hull announced her support of my campaign,
we have received another big endorsement from Kansas Secretary of State Kris
Kobach. I’m honored to receive Secretary Kobach’s endorsement.
Secretary
Kobach has been at the forefront of election reform since taking office and has
implemented common-sense safeguards in their elections. His support reaffirms
that my platform of election security and fairness is the right one to lead this
office.
“Michele
Reagan has been tirelessly fighting for election security and accountability
while serving in the Arizona State Senate. Now Kansas and Arizona are working
together in a legal battle against the Obama Administration to preserve our
right to require proof-of-citizenship when voters register. I know that Michele
will stand firm in this fight. I also know that Michele will continue to lead
the charge in making Arizona’s elections fair and honest,” said Secretary
Kobach.
Thank
you for your continued support!

AZ Rep David Schweikert Not Counting the Chickens
A twist on the old saying goes, "snatching
defeat from the jaws of victory." Some have predicted that Republicans are
poised to win BIG in the 2014 elections. I don't know about you, but I'm
certainly not counting my chickens before they hatch.
Here's the break down.
We have a number of U.S. Senator's retiring
on the left. Several other seats are what the pollsters call "up for
grabs."
Here's the problem:
The American people deserve a ton better than
what they're seeing out of Washington. WE THE PEOPLE have been lied to, taken
advantage of, and pushed aside by big-spenders, bureaucrats, and far left
activists.
I need your help!
And I need it fast...
I need more good conservatives in Washington
to join me in the fight for freedom!
I trust that you believe America's founding
principles are worth defending.
That's why I'm counting on your help to keep
power out of Harry Reid's hands come November.
Will you join me?
