====== Attack on Grassroots in America ======

|<code>\\ Attack On  Grassroots In America\\ \\ \\ \\ March 14 , 2022\\ \\ \\ In Arizona like many other states around  America . We have the hardworking Men and Woman of our \\ Grassroots volunteers.\\ </code>\\ \\ The Delegates and Pc Committeemen these are "we the people" the pavement pounders,door knockers,and fundraisers .These are the direct lines of communication from “we the people” to our legislatures. We all know we cannot  reach Washington.\\ \\  Almost a thankless job and sometimes they spend more hours than most politicians . They all do it because they want to save our country and they believe in freedom and self governance .This is not only conservative , it's libertarians and democrats alike. \\ \\ Our Grassroots in America have seen a tremendous hike in community involvement . With Volunteers from \\ \\ All walks of life have stood up to be a participant in their local governments.\\ \\ On  March 3rd of last week , they all received a slap in the face or knife in the back.\\ \\  Arizona Senate Bill HB2839 The “Purge Bill “ was signed into law by the Arizona Governor in a matter of hours. \\ \\  The “ Purge Bill “ was passed  unanimously  by 30  Senators  and 60 in  House of Representatives   \\ \\ What is HB2839?\\ \\ This bill will immediately change the location where  precinct committeemen will  file  Papers  and petitions and now  must  file with his or her county party for the 2022 election; the “emergency” clause made it effective immediately following Governor Ducey signature .. Seems simple and no big deal right ?\\ \\  Wait, stay  with me , it gets better.\\ \\ Then there is section  4.  Tucked away , quietly .\\ \\  while this bill  was an "emergency"  and was discussed and signed  with no committees assigned and no public knowledge and  without Pc involvement and no transparency .Luckily by chance  A concerned constituent and fellow Pc that keeps track of the bill being proposed happened to stumble on to this  section 4 clause that would eliminate all elections for Pc Committeeman and allow  the county supervisors  and  the Chairperson of each Party  to “select “ a Pc for each Precinct . . Essentially taking away  the rights of “we the people'' at electing our own local  voice .   Turning our election into a “selection” and not to the advantage of the grassroots volunteers  . In Arizona there are about 7-9000 Pcs  just in one party This would bring that number down to 600 .  This will  impact the effectiveness of their roles in the communities they serve . Pcs are demanding a repeal and want an apology. . As of today the ‘Purge “ still stands we will see if Monday they  come back with some integrity and transparency. \\ \\ In the meantime\\ \\ The Senate leaders and  the House play the blame game , going as far as saying it was because the language in the bill was blue, or that they neglected to read the entirety of the bill and just voted for it.\\ \\ Now in more bad news for Pcs. The republicans need the Dems to get them out of this self made debacle, because they need ¾  vote to repeal and Dems are taking full advantage of this mistake. hinting that they will repeal if the republicans drop the voter and election integrity bills . Here we go as the Senate back peddling and even blaming staff and calling it an accident . “The trust is broken” said a few Pcs that filled that chamber and outside . “ We are the grassroots,  we are the ones who get you people elected“ said another.\\ \\  Senate President  Karen Fann  at the podium stated “ we will fix this , everything you folks are saying is correct we made a mistake and we will fix this “ Karen Fann who has been serving for 5 years will be retiring after this year. \\ \\ Public outcry over this has also led to peaceful protests in the  neighborhood  of  Speaker of the House of Representatives Rusty Bowers to step down .  “We the people were not given any opportunity  to speak, this was all done in secret and we want to know by whose authority.” . We demand  accountability. We have the right to know when this bill was created and by whom?”   \\ \\ What are the odds that all the way north in Minnesota a similar type event is taking place in the same week? A couple things were different . instead of not allowing elections they decided to just remove the names and put in the names they wanted instead. \\ \\  Michigan is also seeing the attack on the grassroots .\\ \\ All 3 states went through redistricting after the 2020 census.\\ \\ All 3 states have the  Governors chair up. \\ \\ 38 states are having elections for Governor . Are the grassroots in jeopardy in those states as well?\\ \\ I for one will be keeping my eye on this story  while it unfolds. \\ \\ Please see if grassroots are under attack or flying under the radar. .. check the bills being proposed in your state . look for the hidden clauses .\\ \\ Could this effort to remove  our right to choose our representation be coordinated one? Is this  just another silent, and  under the radar  attack on our sacred  American liberties .  Sounds like socialism . \\ \\  \\ \\  \\ \\   \\ \\ https:%%//%%dcweekly.org/2022/03/07/update-arizona-republicans-look-to-repeal-language-in-bill-changing-precinct-committeemen-election-rules/\\\ https:%%//%%crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN11360\\ \\ https:%%//%%www.action4liberty.com/delegate_election_fraud_covered_up_by_mngop_gazelka_doubles_down\\ \\ |
