Legislative Report - No Common Ground
I originally wrote this piece in August 2017. As I reread it recently, I thought it was as applicable today as when I originally wrote the article. It is a thought-provoking piece. We need to understand the war we are fighting. This month's legislation report aptly describes the state of all legislation whether in Arizona or Washington D. C. Every ...

Why I Became A Republican - Kelly McDonald
I have been a lifelong Republican starting at an early age. The only grandfather I knew was bedridden from 1964-1969 when he then passed away. During his convalescence, he read everything he could and would discuss politics with my mother who was also an avid reader. He would also write letters to all politicians on different subjects to get their ...
May President's Message
Happy May to all! For the last couple of weeks, I am feeling as though we have turned the corner from the 2022 election.

The most recent revelation coming out of Congressional Hearings ...

Why I Became A Republican - Arlene Stassinos
What an honor it is to share my reasons for my Republicanism, if there's such a word! It's ironic today of all days to reflect on "Why I became a Republican"…my American passport was going to expire in six months and all I needed was a photo to send my passport renewal. As I proofread my renewal application, it was clearly evident how proud I was t...
