LD12 March 2024 Meeting

In addition to our We the People program, campaign season continues with much time allocated to candidates, PC paperwork, the upcoming State Delegates election and another session with Michele Swinick showing additional historical Maricopa election documents with major compliance issues.  This event was very well attended.

Chair Greg Dutton talks about the LD12 State Delegates Election on 27 March and the State Convention on 27 April.

Craig Berland (MCRC Chair and LD12 PC) provided State Delegate information. 

 

Carol Wilson explains some of the details about the hand count at the 27 March LD12 meeting.

 

Pot Luck decorating party was announced to work on our float for the Ahwatukee Spring Fling Easter Parade.  Contact Steve Black for more information.

PCs signature forms were discussed and collected to facilitate easier submission to the county.   If you have not completed yours, make sure you read the paperwork for submission as an appointment at the county is required.

 

You must request a ballot for the upcoming SRP election. (2 April is the final SRP Day to hand carry your ballot - order now in order to mail early).

 

The attendees were allowed time during the meeting to identify and sign candidate forms.  This gave candidates the maximum benefit of attending our meeting with a short microphone introduction to make sure attendees knew what office each was running for in order not to inadvertently sign for a candidate not in their area.  (Kelly Cooper for US Rep. CD4 )

February 2024 LD12 Meeting Highlights

February 2024 LD12 Meeting Highlights

Chairman Greg Dutton gave us an update on the upcoming Quadrennial State Delegates Election.  The election will be held on Wednesday, March 27th from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. at Pima Canyon Church, which is located at 9807 S. 48th St., Phoenix 85044.  Greg stressed the importance of this election and asked that everyone clear their calendars in order to participate.  LD12 will elect 50 State Delegates to go on to the State Convention, which will be held on Saturday, April 27th.

Greg recognized Outstanding Precinct Committeemen, with Walter Grandfield as the Precinct Committeeman of the Year.

Volunteers are needed to participate in the March 30th Easter Parade and Spring Fling - see the Hot Button or Events.  This event is being held at the Ahwatukee Community Park on the NW corner of Warner and 48th St.  The event will be a great opportunity to hand out candidate literature and interact with voters.  Candy donations are also needed and appreciated.

The Presidential Preference Election Postcards were distributed to each precinct and in turn shared with Right Leaning PNDs (Party Not Defined).  Only Registered Republicans will be able to vote in the March 19th election, so it is important to let those who are registered as PNDs know that unless they change their party preference, they will not be able to make their voices heard and help elect our next President. The deadline to re-register is February 20th. We also need to Get Out the Vote by asking Hard Republicans to cast their ballots at one of the Vote Centers, which open on February 21st or to mail their ballots before the deadline of March 12th.  

LD12 is hosting the Hand Count Road Show at Pollock Cinemas on Sunday, February 25 at 3:00 p.m. Mark Cook will speak to us about running an efficient, precinct-based, transparent hand count as well as how to reclaim control of maintaining our voter rolls.  The cost is $10 per person, and donations to Mark to cover his travel expenses will be appreciated.  Please use the Hot Button to sign up for this event.

We had another informative meeting with our guest speakers, including Michele Swinick, Host of the Saving My Freedom movement.

Michele spoke to us about election fraud that occurred during the November 8th, 2022 election.  She showed us several examples of a broken system in which election laws and procedures were not followed.

Maria Birnbaum, State Director for Women Speak Out - Susan B Anthony Pro Life America, spoke at our January meeting. She pointed out that despite the fact that 80% of Arizona voters want limits on abortion and they want babies who survive abortion to receive medical care, both Ruben Gallego and Kyrsten Sinema voted in favor of abortion up to birth as well as allowing the medical profession to leave survivors of abortion to die with no medical care.

Mark Cook, Election Cybersecurity and Forensic Expert, also spoke at the meeting and he started by saying there is no doubt in his mind that our elections are being stolen from us.  He pointed out that the corrupt Global Establishment wants to have total control, so we need to unite in fixing our election systems by going back to one day, one vote, precinct voting.  Mark pointed us to his website, which is https://handcountroadshow.org/

Pastor Jerone Davison, who is running for Congressional District 4, spoke to us about the importance of utilizing our First Amendment rights.  He spoke specifically about the need for medical workers to be able to exercise their freedom of speech. Jerone believes that anti Bill Gates and anti George Soros bills are needed in Congress. He pointed out that King David was a worshipping warrior, and that he will fight for our country. 

Kelly Cooper, another candidate running for Congressional District 4, spoke briefly at the meeting. New candidates include Lawrence Hudson, who announced that he is running for State Representative.  Terry Roe also spoke about his candidacy for State Representative, and Seth Willford is running for the same position.
