FreedomWorks for America would like to congratulate Rep. Jeff Flake and Rep. David Schweikert on their convincing victories in last night’s primary elections! Rep. David Schweikert is now the Republican nominee for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, and Rep. Jeff Flake is now the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate.
We must begin the work of sending them back to Washington on November 6th. FreedomWorks for America has been proud to endorse Jeff Flake and David Schweikert. In the true service-center model, FreedomWorks for America placed over 100,000 calls for Schweikert in the weeks leading up to the primary, and assisted the grassroots effort by providing GOTV materials, activist training, advertisements, hundreds of thousands of voter ID calls, and more.
The Tea Party is eager to take back the Senate and grow the House majority this year. Please consider a generous donation to FreedomWorks for America so we can continue to send true conservatives to Washington who will fight for fiscal sanity and our future.
Congratulations to Reps. Schweikert and Flake and on to November 6th!
For Freedom,

The phone rang last night. As the caller heard background noise from my TV, he barked, “Are you REALLY watching that Republican Convention?!?!?” He could barely get the words out, so terrible their taste in his mouth!
Yes, as a matter of fact, I was. Just as I will be watching the Democratic Convention next week. Not chapter and verse (of either) – but certainly keynote speakers and highlights. I have friends who are staunch Republicans. I have friends who are card carrying, meeting attending, sign posting, poll watching members of the Tea Party. They see Obama as the anti-Christ.
I have friends who are so far left I can barely see them from here. They worship Obama as a deity. I have friends who are much closer to center – on both sides of the aisle. And I LOVE them all!
How could I possibly consider myself “well-informed” on ANY subject, political or otherwise, without first knowing all sides? My friend Ernan and I competed in debates – a million years ago! We WON because we knew all sides of the questions. That’s how it should be. You are free to form ANY opinion you choose – from the facts available – but if you fail (or worse, REFUSE) to consider all sides before developing your thoughtful position, you will NEVER be taken seriously.
BRAVO comments of folks that do understand and sad for rest of citizens who refuse to try. Makes vets shake heads in disbelief while the rest of you sell our country down the drain of apathy.
we overheard a couple local dems discussing at breakfast loss of illegals they knew stripped from their lists by republicans, you are scary people
The results are in!! We are in a runoff with Jerry Weiers. Our fight to Move Glendale Forward is now in the home stretch, and your help is needed more than ever. Please consider a contribution today to keep our campaign moving.
We know Mr. Weiers will do just about anything to win. We have seen his vitrolic and nasty campaign tactics during the primary. I expect more of the same for the General Election. We cannot have his type of ‘career politician – more of the same’ thinking in Glendale City Hall. A majority of the primary voters in Glendale said the same thing.
A BIG THANK YOU my family, our campaign team, and you, our supporters, for a job well done! NOW – get ready for more. I am in this to win it!
A special mention, and thank you, to Walt Opaska for running an honorable race for Mayor.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to victory for everyone in Glendale on November 6, 2012! Let’s get back to work!!
Neilsen ratings show that Mitt Romney will win the election. 33 million in the US watched Mitt Romney accept GOP presidential selection with Clint Eastwood as a speaker says Nielsen ratings. It was the most awesome evening of the Republican convention. Go Mitt.
To all my many family, friends and supporters, thank you for all the support and prayers during this last weeks primary race. I heard from many of you and agree that the public is sick of the negative attacks. I expect that many stay away from public service because of these kind of campaigns. The truth is if more people are involved, the negative attacks have even less value and more dialogue can occur. Seems the more candidates go negative against me, the larger my victory, says something about candidate styles. Please remember the November elections.

Dear Mr. Tobin,
What action have you taken or are you going to take to recognize the exceptional efforts of the 30 ADOT Adopt-A-Highway groups and the Folksville USA effort in Northern Arizona relating to reducing highway litter issues?
These 30 groups are the “gold standard” for our ADOT Adopt-A-Highway program! They actually honor their commitment to the ADOT Adopt-A-Highway program.
Don’t you think it’s time for you and the Governor to recognize these 30 groups in the media and Arizona television? Don’t we need some role models in Arizona?
You know me, we’ve spoken many times, and you know our record!
What are you going to do to reward these efforts which enhance our Arizona economy through stimulating tourism, new residents and new businesses that may bring new jobs to Arizona?

Statement by National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor on Azerbaijan’s Decision to Pardon Ramil Safarov –
President Obama is deeply concerned by today’s announcement that the President of Azerbaijan has pardoned Ramil Safarov following his return from Hungary. Safarov confessed to the murder of Armenian Army officer Gurgen Margaryan in Budapest in 2004, and was serving a life sentence in Hungary for this brutal crime. We are communicating to Azerbaijani authorities our disappointment about the decision to pardon Safarov. This action is contrary to ongoing efforts to reduce regional tensions and promote reconciliation. The United States is also requesting an explanation from Hungary regarding its decision to transfer Safarov to Azerbaijan.
Statement from Manny Cruz, candidate for Mayor of the City of Glendale, regarding the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling today to allow the Tohono O’odham Nation to build a casino near Glendale.
“The Tohono O’odham resort and casino is a huge win for Glendale and its residents. This project will be a great economic generator and job creator for Glendale, while expanding tourism in the surrounding areas.
This massive economic development project is sure to create new jobs in the short-term during the building process, in addition to long-term job opportunities once opened and operating. In addition to the added economic benefit, the positive effect on local businesses will be astronomical.
My opponent has come out publicly denouncing the project, based on the merits of the federal government overstepping into our community. The fact of the matter is that our neighbors need jobs and economic certainty, not political rhetoric. I am not an economist, but it’s economics 101, if you build it, jobs will come. Jerry just doesn’t get it.
All around, this is great news for the State, for Glendale, and our community and neighbors.”
Everyone should be aware of this initiative and discuss its ramifications:
Vote 2012: Prop 121 (Top-Two Primary Initiative)- A constitutional amendment on this November’s ballot would create a “top-two primary” in Arizona, where the two candidates with the highest number of votes in the primary election would face off in the general election, regardless of party affiliation.
Paul Johnson of the Open Government Act initiative will speak in favor of the top-two primary, while Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery will speak against it.
