In the next 30 days we will have opportunity to give input on the preliminary maps the redistricting Commissioners have drawn. I highly recommend you get involved. Someone told me last night that the independent is actually center-left and could potentially do a lot of damage. We all need to be prepared to testify and send letters and emails. I will try to inform you of the upcoming meetings but you can also go to their website at www.irc.az.gov.
On this Halloween, a spooky story about a haunt of impure spirits!
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted:
“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’
She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
3 For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich(I) from her excessive luxuries.”
Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
“‘Come out of her, my people,’
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
6 Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back double for what she has done.
Pour her a double portion from her own cup.
7 Give her as much torment and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[c]
I will never mourn.’
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
Revelation 18:1-8

Keep in mind that I will not be posting about each and every bill folder that I open but I wanted to let you know about the one that I just requested. It will be an election nullification if the election statutes are broken or the elections procedures manual is not followed. That election will be nullified and a new election must occur within 90 days after it has been determined that laws were broken. It will come with financial and criminal consequences for those who are violating it. I will keep you posted about the viability of this bill and how it shapes up.
