Unquestionably the most important issue in Arizona this year, this partisan Commission that is supposed to be a balanced Commission but is stacked with Progressives have their eye on turning Arizona into a Progressive state through gerrymandering the redistricting lines. The battle is on!
Use the information here to call/fax/email Governor Brewer as often as possible to tell her to force the Commission to fire the Chair who reportedly lied on her application claiming to be an Independent as is required but instead, it tied to the Democrat party in countless ways. Call/fax/email House Speaker Andy Tobin as often as possible, too.
PUT THE PRESSURE ON! KEEP THE PRESSURE ON! Or learn to live like California!!!

Bill and others:
Suggest you take a screen shot of the screen you get that tells you that the Contact Us is inactive. Be sure you save it with the date. It's possible valuable evidence that they really do not want to hear from us.
SEE 'PAGES' HEADER TO THE RIGHT FOR NEW PROPOSED MAPS. They cut across counties, precincts perhaps, communities of interest, put metropolitan areas in with rural areas.
In short, they've done everything we asked them NOT to do but nothing we asked the TO do.
Someone explain: what does Scottsdale & Fountain Hills have in common with Show Low and Pinetop and the reservations? How can anyone represent these disparate communities?
Call to Action: we can't let them get away with this nonsense.
Just guessing: these maps were all worked out well before the so-called 'community input.'
Get to the meeting and make your feelings known.... loud and clear
Agenda for August 25 meeting in Casa Grande attached:
o Transportation corridors
o Neighborhood master plans
o Neighborhood associations
o School districts
o Where do you do shopping, recreation ?
o Where do the participants in your clubs and charitable activities live ?
o Socio-economic similarity
o Types of occupations in a given area
o High school sports
o Natural boundaries – washes, highways, barren land, parks, canals
From the meeting on Aug 25th, a disturbing report:
It was a very long 6 hour meeting and was very distressing. Commissioner Herrera said yesterday that a "composite" majority minority district wasn't really one because in the last election there was no Hispanic elected so that proves that this district is not composite because the people did not get who they wanted to represent them!
There was no one there from Phoenix who spoke but the Democrat Commissioners were moving all kinds of very specific lines in the Phoenix districts and seemed to be taking the lines drawn by the Hispanic Coalition Group (Pete Rios and Richard Elias from Tucson are part of this group) VERY seriously!! I spoke for Oro Valley and Casa Grande not being split in half as the grid map shows. Then the commissioners said that the mapping consultant should not be splitting the smaller municipalities. Onita spoke for Shirl who had great information showing the bloggers and media are actually lobbyists and even the White House has had to reveal their logs for who has been visiting the White House, including media. There is a BIG deal being made about bloggers and media having to be logged in if they speak to Strategic Telemetry - Commissioners Herrera and McNulty want to overturn this amendment to Strategic Telemetry's contract - very odd and suspicious. James Kelley was there and said that as a blogger and journalist he didn't care if Strategic Telemetry logged him in if he called and talked with them. (bloggers and media can talk with Strategic Telemetry at any public meeting and not be entered into the log)
But there was good news from the AGs office and I have included his announcement. He is suing the Federal Government saying that the DOJ review of Arizona lines using the voting rights act doesn't apply to Arizona anymore. The bad news is that at the meeting in Tucson earlier in the week the commission hired an ex-DOJ lawyer to give them advice on drawing Arizona's lines so they will pass the DOJ review.
As in the last meeting, conservatives were VASTLY outnumbered

Received in our inbox:
It looks like next to the Voting Rights Act, competitiveness has jumped up to the number one most important criteria since the commission may hire yet another expert " a voting analysis expert to review, analyze, and recommend action on voting rights issues including polarized voting and conduct analysis regarding competitiveness. It would be nice to see what is actually being spent for all of these experts that are being hired along with the new staff and that may happen at this meeting as well.
According to the last meeting testimony and questioning on "competitiveness," the Hispanic Coalition County Supervisors said that the minority majority districts had to remain that way to comply with the voting rights act (so no competitiveness in their districts) BUT all the other districts could be competitive.
And a decision may be made on whether bloggers have to be logged in when they call Strategic Telemetry. I want to know why this is such a big deal. How often could the blogger who is objecting to this be calling Strategic Telemetry and why would he be calling them multiple times outside of the meetings where he is free to talk with them (and he does) without fear of being logged in on the call log.
