There is a ruse afoot. The highly paid political consultants are failing in their attempt to help Governor Brewer surrender Arizona to Obama so a deceitful plan is being hatched to secure a few votes.  As Obamacare collapses on the national stage the Governor doubles down determined to make Arizona the victory of the year for the Democrats. Arizona – land of SB1070 – leader of State Rights – what a trophy for the Democrats!

The estimated whooping $750K provided by the Chamber and Hospitals to ram Obrewercare down our throats failed to bully the Legislators or change the mind of Arizonans. Two months of heavy handed intimidation of Republican county and legislative chairman, precinct committeemen, legislators, and weeks of TV ads saturating the public has resulted in the Governor losing 2 more Republican votes in the House and putting 5 votes from the FOR to “on the fence”.

Senate President Andy Biggs and Speaker Andy Tobin have maintained a stalwart stance defending the core Republican tenant of limited government and protecting the state from the train wreck that is Obrewercare. Last week the embattled Republican leadership hindered the Governor’s attempt to employ a downright rotten Nancy Pelosi parliamentary trick to bypass the normal legislative process – just to get her way.

So now Governor Brewer plots to give Arizona a deceitful amendment and utilizes yet another Obama skill: community organizing.

The Governor plans to add an “amendment” to Obrewercare that she knows the courts will rule as unconstitutional because they already have. The amendment will state that no money will go to Planned Parenthood. This is a cover for Pro-Life Representatives Boyer and Orr, and perhaps Pratt, and Mesnard to vote FOR Obrewercare. The problem is that the US Supreme Court just ruled that you cannot deny Federal money to go to Planned Parenthood.

Just in case this deceptive plan fails the governor has a backup plan. She is turning to a far extreme leftist organization for help since her highly paid political consultant is failing to deliver Arizona on a silver platter.

Yes you read that correctly. Valley Interfaith Project, VIP, proudly proclaims a Marxist mission defining itself as “a non-partisan organization of dues-paying member congregations, schools, unions and non-profits committed to building relational power through organizing people for sustainable social and economic improvement.”

Governor Brewer, Majority Leader John McComish, and top Brewercrat Heather Carter attended the VIP meeting to drum up support for Obrewercare! The Republican McComish relished his newfound community organizing role leading the way with rallying cries and inspiring phrases. McComish, who just this last week threw the precinct committeemen of Arizona’s star legislative district 18 under the bus, calling his PC’s an inconsequential minority, showed true leadership with his newfound socialist friends –  passing out signs and calling for widespread community organizing.

Let it be clear – Governor Brewer and the newly minted Brewerlib, John McComish, are utilizing a Marxist group to community organize against their own party.

Governor Brewer seems oblivious to the fact that she is handing the Democrats the victory of the year – Obamacare in Arizona.

Throughout Arizona a crescendo is building in opposition to the Governor’s proposal to implement OBrewercare.  Legislative district after legislative district are issuing resolutions opposing the Governor’s proposal.

LD 15 has the distinction to have the republican who has agreed to introduce the bill, Heather Carter.  Heather Carter did not convince her own precinct committeemen to stand with her and a few weeks ago LD15 passed a resolution opposing OBrewercare.

Governor Brewer and Heather Carter attacked.  Pulling in a well know conservative Republican, Mike Broomhead, and annointing him an “honorary chairman” of Restoring Arizona, the group with the money pushing OBrewercare upon Arizona, a counter-resolution was issued basically calling the hard-working precinct committeemen of LD15 liars.

LD15 did not take this high-handed political game-playing laying down and issued a counter to the counter essentially questioning the attack.

Dear Mr. Broomhead:

Recently, you decided to write a rebuttal to a resolution passed in LD15 by Republican Precinct Committeemen in opposition to Governor Brewer’s decision to expand Medicaid in Arizona in accordance with Obamacare. I was disappointed to see you take such a position, given the principles to which I had assumed you subscribed. Over the next few pages I’ll outline better the opposition to this expansion but I must mention something up front.

The most disappointing part of your piece, was the disrespect you’ve exhibited towards the hard working, everyday citizens that have volunteered to be precinct committeemen in the Republican party.

These aren’t politicians.

These are plumbers, waitresses, real estate agents, teachers, engineers, veterans, salesmen, small business owners, construction contractors, college students, retired people, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.

They are your neighbors.

This is the very grass roots of all politics and these people deserve the utmost respect and admiration for stepping up and taking time away from their lives and their families in the middle of the wanton apathy that has gripped this nation. These people do not enjoy the luxuries of an ideological world, lacking understanding of real life as you have maintained. These people ARE real life.

I wonder what luxuries this ideological world has provided my LD15 friend whom I am currently trying to help find a new job. He got laid off from his second so called ideological job after only 9 months due to an economy that resulted from too much government spending. He’s “ideologically” unemployed with a family wondering if his lack of understanding of real life is going to be able to put food on the table.

I know these people personally and I know them well. They know exactly what is at stake. They know exactly the sacrifices that were made to bring this country into existence and they are embarrassed at what little sacrifice people like you seem to be willing to make to safe guard it’s bounty for our prosperity.

It takes a lot for people to surprise me these days but I honestly cannot believe a person who comes from the background you do would take such a stance faced with such admirable people. This resolution did not originate in the back room of some political office. It originated from the average people of LD22 and was brought up by another average citizen in LD15.

I know because I wrote it.

Sincerely,

Eric Morgan

GOP Legislative District 11

 LD11 unites with the majority of party republicans to reject Governor Brewer’s proposal to expand Welfare in Arizona, her justifications, and her reasoning.

Governor Jan Brewer demanded the Republican Party leadership from across Arizona, including County and LD Chairmen, support her expansion of Medicaid. She said that if she did not accept the Medicaid funds for Arizona, other states could claim those federal dollars and create jobs that otherwise would be created in Arizona. Therefore, Medicaid expansion is a necessity.

Necessity is not a fact but an interpretation. Brewer’s false assumption that necessity equates to socially accepted norms leads to “an ends justifies the means” reasoning. But even actual necessity does not justify violating ethical values.  Governor Brewer’s demand is nothing less than a violation of Republican values, and a blatant endorsement of Obamacare in exchange for a blundering acceptance of short-term federal dollars.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRESS RELEASE

                         Unanimous Resolution of Legislative District 11, Pima County

Republican Party Opposing the Governor’s Expansion of Medicaid  (AHCCCS)

Governor Jan Brewer demanded the Republican Party leadership from across Arizona, including County and LD Chairmen, support her expansion of Medicaid. She said that if she did not accept the Medicaid funds for Arizona, other states could claim those federal dollars and create jobs that otherwise would be created in Arizona. Therefore, Medicaid expansion is a necessity.

Necessity is not a fact but an interpretation. Brewer’s false assumption that necessity equates to socially accepted norms leads to “an ends justifies the means” reasoning. But even actual necessity does not justify violating ethical values.  Governor Brewer’s demand is nothing less than a violation of Republican values, and a blatant endorsement of Obamacare in exchange for a blundering acceptance of short-term federal dollars.

Whereas, The Voters of Arizona clearly expressed their will to reject implementation of ObamaCare when they voted to amend the Arizona Constitution via Proposition 106 in 2010;

Whereas, The “assessment” on hospitals is in reality just a tax – and worse yet a hidden tax – that will ultimately be passed on to all hospital patients in higher costs; and a tax increase requires super-majority approval in the legislature: labeling it as an “assessment” is a disingenuous attempt to skirt this voting requirement;

Whereas, No government entitlement program has ever effectively been scaled back, or eliminated, or held within its initial cost projections;

Whereas, The long term and evolving costs of the ObamaCare Medicaid Expansion will bankrupt Arizona just as surely as ObamaCare will bankrupt the United States;

Whereas, The US Supreme Court explicitly ruled that each State is free to reject implementation of the ObamaCare Medicaid Expansion and Insurance Exchanges, and these two programs are the cornerstones of the Affordable Care Act;

Whereas, Without implementation of these programs ObamaCare collapses as a practical functioning program; and, ergo, the fastest and most efficient means to end ObamaCare is simply for each State to refuse to do the Feds’ job for them and allow them to fail;

Whereas, Governor Brewer touts AHCCCS as the conservative model for Medicaid and encourages us to expand the program to show the other states how to do it right, we disagree and believe there is no such thing as a conservative model for expanding socialism;

And Whereas, Supporting the big government takeover of our health care system, even for a short-term gift of federal funds, does NOT reflect the values of the Republican Party or the interests of the taxpayers of Arizona;

Therefore, Be It Resolved, That We, the Precinct Committeemen and Precinct Committeewomen of Legislative District 11, Pima County Republican Party, unanimously affirm and declare our opposition to the Governor’s plan to expand Medicaid in support of ObamaCare.
