Governor Johnson, who has been referred to as the ‘most fiscally conservative Governor’ in the country, was the Republican Governor of New Mexico from 1994-2003. A successful businessman before running for office in 1994, Governor Johnson started a door-to-door handyman business to help pay his way through college. Twenty years later, he had grown the firm into one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico with over 1,000 employees. Not surprisingly, Governor Johnson brings a distinctly business-like mentality to governing, believing that decisions should be made based on cost-benefit analysis rather than strict ideology. Johnson is best known for his veto record, which includes over 750 vetoes during his time in office, more than all other governors combined and his use of the veto pen has since earned him the nickname “Governor Veto.” He cut taxes 14 times while never raising them. Wen he left office, New Mexico was one of only four states in the country with a balanced budget. Term-limited, Johnson retired from public office in 2003. An avid skier, adventurer, and bicyclist, he has currently reached four of the highest peaks on all seven continents, including Mt. Everest in 2009. After becoming increasingly concerned with the country’s out-of-control national debt and precarious financial situation, the Governor formed the OUR America Initiative, a 501c(4) non-profit that promotes fiscal responsibility, civil liberties, and rational public policy. He traveled to more than 30 states and spoke to over 150 conservative and libertarian groups during his time as Honorary Chairman. He has two grown children – a daughter Seah and a son Erik – and currently resides in a house he built himself in Taos, New Mexico.

Our charity of the month for October is “Packages from Home”. Their sole purpose is to provide food, personal care, and recreational items to deployed American troops, at no cost to them. Since March 2005 they have averaged 1,000 to 1,500 packages a month being shipped to our heroes. Their goal is to ship many more. They collect donated items from generous patriotic citizens who live all across America. These items include non-perishable food, personal toiletries, and recreational items like games, books, music CDs and movie DVDs. If you feel inclined to participate in this charity, please bring these types of goods to the event. They will then be given to the charity to be shipped to American Troops.

Cut Spending Now! October 8th AFP Tour Stop in Prescott Valley
October 4, 2011 By 4 Comments
Tell Washington to Cut Spending Now!
Americans have tightened their belts, and so should Washington, DC!
Dear Arizona Taxpayer,
For decades, Washington has continued to borrow and spend at a pace that is not sustainable. Washington is borrowing nearly 40 cents of every dollar we spend and the US debt is now the same size as our entire economy.
You and I understand that our families could not survive borrowing at the same rate, but Washington continues to use the same budgeting gimmicks and accounting tricks to hide our financial crisis.
That’s why Americans for Prosperity is pleased to announce our Cut Spending Now! Tour, which will be rolling through Prescott Valley, Arizona on Saturday, October 8, at the northwest corner of Highways 69 and 169. REGISTER TODAY for this FREE event!
Here are the event details:
Who: Hard-working, concerned citizens such as YOURSELF!
What: Cut Spending Now Tour
Where: Intersection of Highways 69 and 169, northwest corner, Prescott Valley/Dewey.
When: Saturday, October 8, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm
Why: To stand up to politicians and tell them to Cut Spending Now!
How: REGISTER HERE
If you cannot make it to the event, please click here and sign our Cut Spending Now! petition. And be sure to take our quick poll on how to solve America’s $150 trillion unfunded government liability crisis.
We cannot continue to spend at this rate. Now is the time for Washington to tighten its belt and make the same tough choices that American families and businesses have made for decades. We must fight to ensure that Washington puts America first and Cuts Spending Now!
We hope you will join us in this fight, and we’ll see you on the road! And don’t forget to register today!
Also: be sure to read the new paper from the national policy staff at Americans for Prosperity. The Congressional Super Committee needs to come up with $1.5 trillion in cuts in the wake of the debt-ceiling deal. But that’s pretty weak (not very “super” in the big scheme of things), so AFP has produced a recommendation for over $5 trillion in spending cuts:
