Dear Visitors and Friends,<br />
<br />
Our very own Tony GOPrano aka<a href="https://www.facebook.com/jeffyex?fref=ts" target="_blank"> Jeff Vath</a>, the creator of this blog has fallen ill. Currently our dear friend is in a medically induced coma as doctors work tirelessly to make him well. The situation is serious and as you can imagine scary for the family and friends.<br />
<br />
Those of you that know Jeff are well aware that he is of a rare breed. A genuine compassionate, caring individual. Dedicated with unconditional love to the family that supports him loyal to his friends.<br />
<br />
Jeff has been a tireless crusader for the State of Arizona. Whether through this blog portal or his many other actions and affiliations through causes and politics, Jeff has consistently given greatly of himself to better our nation and the State of Arizona. He is truly selfless.<br />
<br />
Whether you are one of the many of us that more often than not agree with Jeff politically, or you are from across the aisle so to speak, there is no doubt about his commitment to making our communities a better place for future generations. Jeff has earned the respect of thousands of activists from all across the nation, from every political stripe . . . Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, you name it. He has shown that it is possible to disagree yet still work towards a common goal. <br />
<br />
I first began working with Jeff in late 2007 and over those few short years have come to love him dearly as do so many that he befriends.<br />
<br />
Please take a moment and leave a comment on this blog or visit his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jeffyex?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> comment. Jeff and his beautiful family need your prayers now more than ever. It is little to ask for a man that has given and done so much. I know once he his home, healing with his family it will give him great pleasure to see all of your visits and comments.<br />

<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Dear
Republican PC:<br /><br />As a precinct committeeman for the Arizona Republican
Party, you're in a unique position to pass along accurate and relevant
information to voters and your fellow party leaders. That's why I'm writing to
you. Our organization, which represents more than 6,500 fire fighters in the
State of Arizona, is deeply concerned about the misinformation being circulated
about a number of bills before the Arizona Legislature. My goal is to give you
the facts, in hopes you will pass along this information to your fellow
Republicans.<br /><br />The bills in question all will impose severe restrictions on
organizations like the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona. One bill seems to
assume that employees can be compelled to join a union. That is absolutely not
the case.</span><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Because Arizona is a "right to work" state, membership in a
union is completely voluntary. The Arizona Constitution is very clear on this
point:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><strong><u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">ARTICLE
XXV: RIGHT TO WORK</span></u></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Right to work or employment without
membership in labor organization</span></strong></span><em><u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="color: red;">No person shall be denied the
opportunity to obtain or retain employment because of non-membership in a labor
organization, nor shall the State or any subdivision thereof, or any
corporation, individual or association of any kind enter into any agreement,
written or oral, which excludes any person from employment or continuation of
employment because of non-membership in a labor
organization</span>.</span></u></em><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">The same voluntary status goes for a
member's political activity and political donations. Union members elect their
leadership. In turn, those leaders may ask members to join a PAC fund or be
politically active.</span><br /><strong><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="color: red;">Everything a union member does is
voluntary.</span></span></strong> <span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Every member joins the association individually and
voluntarily. Any member can quit and stop paying dues at any time. They don't
even have to tell the union when they quit; they can simply have their payroll
deduction stopped at any time with a word to a clerk. If union members do not
like what leadership does, politically or otherwise, members can vote their
leaders out of office, just like Arizona voters do with elected
officials.<br /><br />In a nutshell, union members can join at any time and quit at
any time. The Arizona Revised Statutes are clear on the voluntary nature of
political activities:</span></span></span><span style="color: red;"><strong><em><span style="color: green; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">16-921.</span></em><em><u><span style="color: #920092; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Unlawful
contributions by corporations and labor organizations from a fund; procedures;
definitions</span></u></em></strong></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><em><u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A. It is unlawful under any fund
established by a corporation or labor organization pursuant to section 16-920,
subsection A, paragraph 3:</span></u></em><br /><em><u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">1. For such a fund to make a
contribution or expenditure by utilizing money or anything of value secured by
physical force, job discrimination, financial reprisals or the threat of force,
job discrimination or financial reprisal or by dues, fees or other monies
required as a condition of membership in a labor organization or as a condition
of employment or by monies obtained in any commercial
transaction.</span></u></em><br /><em><u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">2. For any person soliciting an
employee for a contribution to such a fund to fail to inform such employee of
the political purposes of such fund at the time of such
solicitation.</span></u></em><br /><em><u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">3. For any person soliciting an
employee for a contribution to such a fund to fail to inform such employee, at
the time of such solicitation, of his right to refuse to so contribute without
any reprisal.</span></u></em><br /><br />We hope the above information is helpful
and shows exactly why the bills in front of the Legislature are unnecessary and
represent an illegitimate government overreach into the Constitutional rights
enjoyed by members of our organization.</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="color: red;">Again, every dollar given by a member
of our organization is given voluntarily.</span></span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">So-called
"release time" is another item under attack by various legislators. While this
"release time" has been described as a government giveaway, that's simply
untrue. Our organization's members pay for this "release time," as negotiated by
the Memorandum of Understanding approved by membership and each city's
Council.<br /><br />In laymen's terms, every dollar used to compensate public safety
members sits in a single pot. When dollars are used to pay for "release time,"
those dollars are subtracted from the pot and not used for salaries and health
benefits. Thus, release time is paid for by our membership directly and approved
by a direct vote of our membership. It is not a giveaway.</span><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Finally, the
Legislature is considering an "open meeting bargaining" bill that would severely
hamper the negotiations between our organization and city officials. If passed,
this bill would require the negotiation of each municipal contract with the
presence of the public and the press at every step of the way. A good
labor-management relationship is much like a marriage – with give and take, the
occasional disagreement and the need for trust. Just as a marriage would fall
apart if every conversation were picked apart by the public, so would this
complex relationship.<br /><br />Besides, every labor-management negotiation is
ultimately made public at the time of the Council vote to ratify the ensuing
contract. These meetings – which allow for public input – function as a
safeguard in the system. We continue to welcome them and we continue to welcome
your input – just as we welcome the truth, as opposed to fictions and
lies.</span><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Thank you.<br /><br />Tim Hill<br />President, Professional Fire Fighters
of Arizona</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: black; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says: WHEREAS, the Voters of Arizona
clearly expressed their will to reject implementation of the Affordable Care Act
(Obamacare) by amending the Arizona Constitution via Proposition 106 in 2010,
and thus preventing an individual mandate; and</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u> It
was Republican Governor Fife Symington, who first proposed the idea of covering
adults in the mid-90s. Then Arizona voters approved the measure in 1996 and
again in 2000 via Proposition 204. The support from Arizona voters was
overwhelming. The Governor's plan simply honors the will of the voters. The
Governor's Medicaid plan has nothing to do with enforcing the individual
mandate. In fact, it was clear that Proposition 106 did not affect the AHCCCS
program whatsoever.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says: WHEREAS, the State of Arizona
cannot afford to be saddled with the costs of implementing this federal program
and the "Circuit Breaker" clause is insufficient to prevent an out of control
escalation of said costs; and</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u> The Governor's plan
protects the State's General Fund and takes Prop. 204 costs off the State's
books by working collaboratively with the hospital industry to formulate an
assessment. The State is clearly able to terminate this proposal at any time, so
the "circuit breaker" also protects the State from any federal "bait and
switch."</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says: WHEREAS, the "assessment" on hospitals is
in reality just a hidden tax that will ultimately be passed on to hospital
patients in the form of higher costs and is a disingenuous attempt to subvert
the legislative process requiring tax increases receive super-majority approval
in the legislature; and</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u> Under the Phoenix Access to
Care Ordinance, which the Governor has proposed adopting at a statewide level,
hospitals are <u>forbidden from passing on the costs to consumers</u>. No law,
however, protects consumers from hospitals passing on their costs of
uncompensated care. We – all of us – are paying for uncompensated care. We are
all covering the cost of care for people who do not have insurance but who still
get cancer or people who get in a motorcycle accident and end up needing care in
a trauma center. Recent studies put this at nearly $2,000 per family. The
assessment is similar to current programs, like the Managed Care Premium
assessment and the recently passed Nursing Home assessment. It is well within
the bounds of the Arizona Constitution and the precedent set by the legislature
to allow agencies to set their own assessments for the industries that they
regulate.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says: WHEREAS, no government entitlement program
has ever been scaled back, eliminated or held within its initial costs [sic]
projections, and the long term and evolving costs of the Obamacare Medicaid
Expansion will cause a severe financial hardship on Arizona’s budget, just as
surely as Obamacare will do the same to the country;
and</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u> Not in Arizona – in 2011, when the state's
general fund was spread too thin, Governor Brewer led the effort to reduce the
AHCCCS budget by $2.5 billion, including eliminating the program that provided
coverage for people with catastrophic medical events, known as the spend-down
program. Further, the State froze enrollment for its KidsCare and childless
adult program. In total, these efforts reduced the rolls by about 180,000
people.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Although the goal was always to restore access to this
population to respect the will of the voters, when the state has faced difficult
fiscal times, the Governor and legislature have not been afraid to scale back
government entitlements. Further, Arizona already knows what it takes to provide
coverage to the Proposition 204 population; it has been studied by experts from
Harvard and published in the <em>New England Journal of Medicine</em>. The cost
of this care is already well known to actuaries.<br /><br />And finally, Governor
Brewer's plan calls for an automatic "circuit breaker." Under this provision,
the expansion population would <em>automatically</em> be repealed without
another vote of the legislature if the federal government's share falls below
80%.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says: WHEREAS, the U.S. Supreme Court explicitly rules that
each State is free to reject implementation of the Obamacare Medicaid Expansion
and Insurance Exchanges, the two cornerstones of the Affordable Care Act,
without which Obamacare collapses as a practical and functioning program;
and</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u> The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
is the law of the land. Although Governor Brewer vehemently and courageously
opposed the passage of the legislation, and participated in the lawsuit before
the U.S. Supreme Court that sought to strike down the act, the Affordable Care
Act is here to stay. Twenty-six states, including Arizona have rejected the
Act’s offer to set up state exchanges; this will not stop the federal government
from setting up a federal exchange. Similarly, failure to accept the federal
government's offer to fund the restoration of Arizona's Medicaid program will
not have any meaningful impact on the success or failure of the overall
legislation. The Governor's plan is about Arizona. It is not
ObamaCare.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says: WHEREAS, the Federal government is
incapable of implementing these programs by 2014 or even 2016 without the local
organization, legwork, and the financial subsidies of the States; The fastest
and most efficient means to end Obamacare is simply for each State to refuse
their implementation and allow them to fail; and</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u>
The fastest and most efficient means to end ObamaCare would have been for the
American electorate to vote for Mr. Romney, whom the Governor endorsed,
campaigned for and fully supported. Elections have consequences. Elected leaders
have a duty to govern and make tough choices. Her plan does right by Arizonans.
Resolutions like these come from those who have the luxury of living in their
ideological worlds without having to understand the real-life implications of
their theories.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says: WHEREAS, by holding AHCCCS as the
conservative model for Medicaid and an example to the other states, Governor
Brewer is advocating for a conservative expansion of socialism, a truly
contradictory concept; and</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u> This is a time for
Republicans to rebuild and unite, not tear each other apart. Since when is it
socialist to provide a safety net for the elderly, the disabled, the poor? And
the AHCCCS system is truly a shining example of <em>limited</em> government
where care is managed by <em>private</em> health plans and provided by
<em>private</em> physicians and hospitals, the very same ones we all see for our
own care.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says: WHEREAS, supporting a government takeover
of our health care system, even to secure large amounts of federal funds, does
NOT reflect the values of the Republican Party or the interests of the taxpayers
of Arizona; now therefore be it</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u> Once again, the
Governor's plan is about Arizona and Arizona's system is one of limited
government. Limited government works. As the leader of the Republican Party, the
one whom Republican precinct committeemen have been elected to support, Governor
Brewer's plan is the embodiment of the Republican values of private sector
partnerships and limited government interference.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">LD 15 says:
RESOLVED, that we, the Maricopa County Legislative District 15 Republican
Committee do (unanimously) affirm and declare our opposition to the Governor’s
plan to expand Medicaid in support of Obamacare; and, be it
further<br /><br />RESOLVED, that we, the Maricopa County Legislative District 15
Republican Committee demand that the Legislators of the Arizona State House and
Senate stand with the people of Arizona in opposition to the Governor’s plan to
expand Medicaid in support of Obamacare by defeating any bill to such
ends.</span><br /></span><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><u>TRUTH:</u> Opposing the Governor's proposal to restore
Arizona's innovative and nationally acclaimed AHCCCS program ignores the will of
the voters, the fiscal realities of our state and the escalating costs of
uncompensated care that threaten to drive up the costs of private health
insurance premiums, hurt Arizona businesses and make Arizona uncompetitive.
Preserving a strong and competitive economy and fostering the free-market ideals
that AHCCCS embraces are at the core of the Republican Party’s beliefs. So much
so, in fact, that the AHCCCS enabling legislation was passed by a Republican-led
legislature in 1981. Then, Republicans understood that their role as elected
officials was not to "hold the line" but to come up with pragmatic, responsible
solutions to the state’s healthcare crisis. Now, our elected officials are faced
with the same choice. Governor Brewer has proven she understands that her
primary responsibility is to improve the lives of the citizens of Arizona; it is
unfortunate that the Pima County GOP does not hold itself to the same standard.
The Governor's plan supports Arizona. It is not in support of ObamaCare.</span></span></span></strong></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The notice read: “Because medical equipment and supplies will be going up in cost, that extra expense will have to passed on to the customers.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some vets say they can’t afford it. Dr. Mike Hatcher is one of them. He explained, “I’m extremely concerned how this is going to be a hidden tax to our consumers that is going to be passed on.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How does this work? Medical devices used only on animals are exempt. However, items including IV pumps, sterile scalpels and anesthesia equipment, which are medical devices that have a dual use, meaning they can be used on people and animals, will be taxed. Hatcher said, “Putting off an equipment purchase is something that can terribly affect our clients’ ability to have </span><a class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://miami.cbslocal.com/2013/03/11/obamacare-may-bite-you-at-the-vets-office/#" id="itxthook2" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border: 0px transparent; display: inline; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap" id="itxthook2p"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan" id="itxthook2w" style="background-color: transparent; border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 204, 0); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #009900; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">quality</span><img class="itxtrst itxtrstimg itxthookicon" id="itxthook2icon" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png" style="margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 4px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important;" /></span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> care.”</span><br />

<article><span class="dateline"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> VATICAN CITY — Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope Friday, becoming the first pontiff from Latin America and taking the name Pope Francis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Appearing on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica a short time later, the new pope led a prayer for his predecessor, Benedict XVI</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“As you know, the duty of the conclave was to appoint a bishop of Rome, and it seems to me that my brother cardinals have chosen one who is from far away, but here I am,” he told the crowd. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Earlier, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the church’s most senior cardinal in the order of deacons, or the proto-deacon, announced “habemus papam” and spoke the name of the new pope, chosen on the second day of deliberations among the assembled cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church. But his words were barely audible to the throng gathered in St. Peter’s Square, and there was initial confusion over the identity of the new leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">White smoke rose over the Sistine Chapel earlier Wednesday evening, heralding the election of the new pope after the 115 voting cardinals reached a decision on the 266th pontiff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Crowds erupted in joy in St. Peter’s Square and waited anxiously for the presentation of the then-undisclosed new pope. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The new pope was revealed to the world with a cry of “habemus papam” on the balcony after entering the so-called room of tears, donning white papal vestments and praying with the cardinals who elected him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/03/13/live-coverage-of-day-two-of-papal-conclave/?hpid=z2"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(Click here to get the latest updates on our live blog and to watch live video from St. Peter’s Square.)</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A throng of people ran up the Via della Conciliazione, the broad avenue leading to St. Peter’s Square, holding umbrellas above their heads. A line of Polish nuns in white clasped each other’s hands. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Clusters of students jumped up and down, and roars of joy passed over the sea of people like waves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Huge emotions,” said Claudio Santini, a lawyer from Rome who stood in a bowler hat in the square. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It’s not important where the pope is from, just that he can travel into people’s hearts.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A marching band and lines of Swiss Guards flying the white and yellow Vatican colors proceeded up the basilica steps in front of the cheering crowds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Standing at attention in front of the basilica, the band played the Italian national anthem as many in the crowd sang along — a sign of the close relationship between the Vatican and Italy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The papal seal on the Vatican Web site, which has been cloaked under an umbrella during the interregnum following Benedict’s retirement, or sede vacante, now again displays the papal tiara under the title “Habemus Papam.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The white smoke, accompanied by the pealing of bells to eliminate any confusion, billowed from a flue on the roof of the Sistine Chapel, prompting the huge gathered in the square to erupt in applause and cheers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The election came after two rounds of balloting in a morning session. The 115 voting cardinals reconvened about 4:30 p.m. (11:30 a.m. Eastern) to vote up to two more times before either electing a new pope or adjourning for the day. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: large;">PHOENIX – Joined at the Arizona State Capitol by a broad coalition of supporters, including patients, physicians and business leaders, Governor Jan Brewer today unveiled draft legislation for her Medicaid Restoration Plan. <br />
<br />
This thoughtful, conservative plan will stimulate the Arizona economy, protect rural and safety-net hospitals and provide quality, cost-effective health care to Arizona’s working poor. <br />
<br />
"As public officials, it is our duty to uphold the best interests of our state and the citizens we serve," said Governor Brewer. "I urge legislators to take a step back and reflect upon the real, human impact of refusing to pass this critical legislation. <br />
<br />
"It’s simple. If we do not restore AHCCCS, hundreds of thousands of Arizonans will continue to lack health coverage, and nearly 60,000 more stand to lose coverage on January 1, 2014. There is no Plan B. I thank Representative Carter for her leadership on this important issue, and I stand ready and willing to work with her legislative colleagues to get this done for the people of Arizona." <br />
<br />
Passage of Governor Brewer’s Medicaid Restoration Plan will: <br />

</span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Inject more than $8 billion into the Arizona economy over the next four years; </span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">
<br />
</span><ul><span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<br />
"AHCCCS works because it leverages the private sector and employs private sector principles. AHCCCS members have their choice of health plans and doctors, and are treated in the same medical facilities used by all Arizonans," said state Rep. Heather Carter, R-District 15. "We do not have a ‘government’ health care program. What we do have is 30 years of evidence to show Arizona has found a better and more cost-effective way to serve the health care needs of our most vulnerable citizens. With the passage of this legislation, we can get it right once again." <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are so many fallacies about race that it would be hard to
say which is the most ridiculous. However, one fallacy behind many other
fallacies is the notion that there is something unusual about different races
being unequally represented in various institutions, careers or at different
income or achievement levels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A hundred years ago, the fact that people from different racial
backgrounds had very different rates of success in education, in the economy and
in other endeavors, was taken as proof that some races were genetically superior
to others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some races were considered to be so genetically inferior that
eugenics was proposed to reduce their reproduction, and Francis Galton urged
"the gradual extinction of an inferior race."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was not a bunch of fringe cranks who said things like this.
Many held Ph.D.s from the leading universities, taught at the leading
universities and were internationally renowned.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Presidents of Stanford University and of MIT were among the many
academic advocates of theories of racial inferiority -- applied mostly to people
from Eastern and Southern Europe, since it was just blithely assumed in passing
that blacks were inferior.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was not a left-right issue. The leading crusaders for
theories of genetic superiority and inferiority were iconic figures on the left,
on both sides of the Atlantic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">John Maynard Keynes helped create the Cambridge Eugenics
Society. Fabian socialist intellectuals H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw were
among many other leftist supporters of eugenics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was much the same story on this side of the Atlantic.
President Woodrow Wilson, like many other Progressives, was solidly behind
notions of racial superiority and inferiority. He showed the movie "Birth of a
Nation," glorifying the Ku Klux Klan, at the White House, and invited various
dignitaries to view it with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Such views dominated the first two decades of the 20th century.
Now fast forward to the last few decades of the 20th century. The political left
of this era was now on the opposite end of the spectrum on racial issues. Yet
they too regarded differences in outcomes among racial and ethnic groups as
something unusual, calling for some single, sweeping explanation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now, instead of genes being the overriding reason for
differences in outcomes, racism became the one-size-fits-all explanation. But
the dogmatism was the same. Those who dared to disagree, or even to question the
prevailing dogma in either era were dismissed -- as "sentimentalists" in the
Progressive era and as "racists" in the multicultural era.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="">Upon landing in Caracas yesterday for Hugo Chavez’s funeral, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed, "Iran and Venezuela are two brother peoples and will be united forever." While "forever" might be a stretch, the countries share a way-too-cozy relationship, including convoluted military, political and financial ties.<br />
<br />
Iran and Venezuela had exchanged diplomats since the 60s, but until 2005, that was the extent of their ties. As soon as Ahmadinejad was elected president, the leaders became bffs. Although their histories and cultures have precious little in common, the two megalomaniacal leaders shared a ruthless determination to dominate their respective regions along with a hatred of America and Israel, and in 2007 declared an "axis of unity." Then-Manhattan DA, Robert Morgenthau, conducted <u><span style="color: blue;">extensive research</span></u><span style="color: blue;"></span> into the Venezuela-Iran relationship in 2009. <br />
<br />
Ahmadinejad and Chavez entered into a series of Memoranda of Understanding, pledging cooperation in areas as diverse as banking and finance, technology, and oil and gas exploration. By most accounts, Chavez has helped his friend to evade international sanctions. <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Iran launders tens of billions of dollars in transactions through Venezuelan banks and industrial entities. Venezuela’s national oil company, PDVSA, continues to break the embargo.</span>
<span style="color: #222222;">
</span>
<br />
Analysts differ on the extent to which Iran-sponsored Hezbollah has infiltrated Venezuela’s government. At a minimum, however, Hezbollah raises revenues for jihadist exploits through its involvement in the cocaine trade, with the full complicity of Venezuelan officials. <br />
<br />
Alarmingly, over the past few years, periodically there have been reports of long-range Iranian missiles in Venezuela, in striking distance if the U.S.<br />
<br />
Given their mutual adoration, it’s not surprising that Ahmadinejad posted on his website, "I have no doubt that he [Chavez] will return alongside Jesus Christ and the Mahdi [the Hidden Imam] to establish peace and justice in the world…" Bases covered.<br />
<br />
Does Chavez’s death represent an opportunity to disrupt this unholy alliance?<br />
<br />
Hard to tell. <br />
<br />
Polls show former vice president Nicolas Maduro, Chavez’s handpicked successor and now acting president (instant incumbency?), the likely winner on April 16<span style="font-size: large;"><sup>th. Maduro has fashioned himself as a Chavez clone, but he lacks the late leader’s charisma and his command. Madura’s challenger, Henrique Capriles, is the centrist governor of Miranda, Venezuela’s largest state, </sup><br />
<sup>
</sup><br />
</span><sup><span style="font-size: large;">Neither of Venezuela’s presidential candidates is likely to share Chavez’s popularity. </span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The winner may well need to focus on internal problems, including 20% inflation and rampant food shortages, for fear of civil unrest.<br />
</span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton suggests that, regardless of the outcome of the election, there may be an opening for the U.S. and Venezuela to resume relations. As ambitious as this sounds, Morgenthau recalls:<br />
</span>
</sup></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang=""><sup><dir>
<dir>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In 1962, President Kennedy stared down a nuclear threat to the United States when a leftist popular leader with a strong anti-American streak joined forces with the Soviet Union to bring nuclear weapons in close proximity to our borders. JFK ended the Cuban missile crisis through resolve and tough diplomacy. <br />
</i>
</span></dir>
</dir>
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Ending the alliance with Iran and ejecting Hezbollah would be preconditions to normalization of U.S. - Venezuela relations.<br />
<br />
Obama is no JFK, but we tolerate Iranian influence in Latin America at our peril.</span> </sup></span></span><br />Guest Commentaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13100954073177386303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24045566.post-76887206524007626342013-03-12T11:00:00.000-07:002013-03-12T11:00:01.170-07:00Senator Bob Worsley - SB1389 Testimony <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D31ahM-vANk" width="460"></iframe><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">SB1389 (JLBC; economic impact) is a fairly simple bill. It would require the budget forecasting arm of the legislature, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC), to reflect any significant fiscal impact of legislation on the state's private sector economy, if practical, when preparing fiscal notes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Basically, it requires the legislature to consider any potential economic impact particular legislation might have on the private sector and the thousands of small businesses and their employees in our state. Something I was surprised to learn wasn't already being done at the state level.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The bill has already passed out of the Senate Appropriations Committee but is currently awaiting a hearing in the Senate Rules Committee.</span></div>
