Unless you’ve been a state legislator, served on legislative staff, been a reporter covering a state capitol beat, or a state government relations professional, chances are you hadn’t heard much of the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, until the last several months. In recent months, ALEC has become a target of a sloppily-orchestrated, but well-funded effort by conspiracy theorists and anarchists (think “Occupy”) who | Read More »
One thing has become painfully clear to me in the last year or so. If your cause is fighting excessive government spending and control over our lives, your fight will never be over. There is no end zone. There is no goal line. There is no touchdown dance. You work in the trenches, fighting the expansion of government power and concurrent threat to freedom that | Read More »
I visited Wisconsin last Monday to attend the swearing in of the new Republican Governor, Republican Speaker of the Assembly and Republican Senate Majority Leader, among others. I first went to work for a Republican in the Wisconsin state legislature in 1987 and I’ve been involved with the political and governmental process there for the last 23 years. The inaugural ball Monday evening was like | Read More »
Wisconsin may skew left, but voters are independent, thoughtful and more than willing to support conservatives — like Scott Walker and Paul Ryan — who meaningfully confront issues. Reince Priebus was born, raised and has succeeded in this environment. Ryan has appeared in Priebus announcement video and Priebus has gotten additional support from Ron Johnson and Scott Walker. Of Priebus, the conservative Walker said: “He is exactly what the national GOP needs — a skilled and proven leader who never forgot the roots of the Party.”

Socialist Bernie Sanders and Tea Party Senator Jim Demint are effectively working right now (or at least pretending to do so to impress their constituencies) in fighting against the tax compromise being considered in Washington. Politically, it’s easy to posture against what’s going to happen and throw rhetorical red meat to your masses. Make no mistake, that’s what both of | Read More »

The universe is changed. How many of you on Twitter today were on Twitter when Hillary Clinton started campaigning for the Presidency and the young upstart from Illinois came on the national scene? Be honest. None of you (excepting the IT professionals, of course) had ever even heard of Twitter. And many of you aren’t even there yet. If you joined Twitter in 2008, theTwitter you knew then is already very different than the Twitter we experience today. How many of you were on Facebook? Not nearly as many. Not me.

Pamela is the type of leader that understands that we don’t only need to fight the liberal Democrats in Congress, but we need to make sure that our own Republican Party remains anchored by conservative values, as well. Senator Gorman shares my Christian faith and commitment to protecting innocent life, and reducing the size of government.”

Read More »Gorman believes that the fights taking place in Republican primaries across the country aren’t only about defeating Democrats in November, but they are something more. Perhaps Gorman is the only official Tea Party endorsed candidate in the race because she recognizes that while the Democratic Party represents a real current threat, Republicans have too often failed to deliver what voters demand and what the country needs. Gorman has preached not only throwing out the Democrats, but also ensuring that the right Republicans win so that the Party is not dominated by moderates who don’t have the stomach for the serious medicine the country needs.

The end result of Gorman’s commitment and coalition-building is that the ALRO will today become the first Latino/Hispanic organization to join the litigation being pursued by President Obama’s Department of Justice against the people of Arizona by challenging SB 1070.

This is really the tip of the iceberg of Pamela Gorman’s record while serving in the Arizona House and the Arizona Senate. As for the two other legislators running for this seat? You go could through the list above and say “No, no, no, no, no, no, no … to all of those examples of Gorman’s commitment and experience OR ANYTHING OF A SIMILAR NATURE.” As for the other (non-legislator) candidates running for the seat … two government bureaucrats (one who’s gotten rich on fat government contracts and cashing in on taxpayers and bureaucracy the other both supported the $3 billion tax increase and is the stealth candidate of the national pro-abortion movement). One very nice businessman with no understanding of how government works. And, of course, there is the son of Vice President Dan Quayle who has neither business or government experience and is working with his Dad to raise literally millions of dollars to buy a Congressional seat in a District where frankly a few months ago no one even knew he lived. Young Quayle has cashed in on Dad’s rolodex, bought a house, married a pretty young lady and even bought a dog to be the perfect Congressional candidate. Let’s be real. If the Republican Party is moving BACKWARD to the Dan Quayle model and example …
Read More »In all honesty, there is only one candidate in the race who is a proven conservative who has been tested and passed and that’s Senator Pamela Gorman. Gorman led the charge against her own party’s Governor (and the State Chair of the AZ GOP) in opposing a $3 billion tax hike in the middle of a recession. That pissed off the Governor and the “go along, get along” GOP establishment.
Gorman has led the charge in toppling the state’s taxpayer-financed election system. The taxpayer-financed campaign system would have dumped $1.4 million into the Republican Governor’s campaign and paid a lot of cash to insider consultants. Those folks aren’t too happy with Gorman.
