They continue to try and erase those of us opposed. Ann, if you go back on your word, you will never get me to vote for you again. Chip Davis, stand up and be a man. Tom, stop sending emails asking for money twice a day and get out of the race because you lack funding and honor.

The twenty-two National Monuments located within Arizona total 3.7 million acres. The addition of the proposed 1.7 million acre GCWNM AND 160,000 acre SVVRRNM would increase Arizona’s total National Monument acreage by 150 percent to 5.5 million acres.

The total size of National Monuments within Arizona would then exceed each individual size of the states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Hawaii, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island, an area 127 times larger than Washington DC.

Last week I got a phone call from one of Anne Kirkpatrick’s aides. She said she was calling to let me know that, because I had written the congresswoman about the national monument issue, the congresswoman wanted me to know that she was against the national monument idea for the Verde Valley.

I have been writing congresspersons since the 1960s. Getting an unequivocal response is rare, but getting a phone call instead of a form letter or email from a congressperson in response to something I have written them about is unprecedented. It tells me that the national monument idea is extremely politically toxic and that Kirkpatrick wants to put as much distance between her and the national monument idea as possible.
