Whoa.

Democrats in Arizona have found a way to stave off the state’s GOP voter suppression laws.

But it requires action NOW.

If they get enough petition signatures by 9/28/21, the laws will be BLOCKED…and appear as ballot measures in 2022 instead!

tucson.com/news/local/pet…
In order for Arizonans to stop the 3 GOP-passed voter suppression laws from taking effect on 9/29/21 take, they would need to get 118,823 valid signatures on 3 separate petitions by 9/28/21.

That's A LOT of signatures.

But I think it's doable.

And again, if the petition drive is successful, it would put those laws on the ballot in the November 2022 election.

That means that the laws would not be in effect BEFORE the November 2022 election, giving us a fairer chance to win election in Arizona that year! Image
I'm unable to find any info at the moment as to how Arizonans can sign these petitions.

But if you live in Arizona, START MAKING CALLS IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR LOCAL DEMOCRATIC OFFICES!

Ask about these petitions and how you can sign them!

#DemCastAZ
If it is indeed possible to at least temporarily stop the GOP's voter suppression efforts through a ballot initiative/petition, it's important for all Dem groups in Arizona to be aware and organize:

@azdemparty
@NAUYoungDems
@ydaz
@AZSenateDems
@A_DLCC
@AZHouseDems
It might also behoove Arizona Democrats interested in signing these anti-voter suppression petitions to reach out to their County Dem groups for more information as well.

Here are a few:

@MaricopaDems
@PimaDems
@PinalDems
@CoconinoDems
@santacruzdems
Here is the first official word that local Arizona Democratic groups are looking into the petition effort to thwart these voter suppression laws.

In other words, stay tuned!!!

Here is the latest instance of a Republican trying to take credit for the benefits of the Covid Relief Bill that they voted against.

And naturally, the lie was told by none other than Madison Cawthorn, the fringe GOP flavor of the month.
The original 'stolen legislation valor' was perpetrated by Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, who touted benefits to restaurant workers DESPITE VOTING AGAINST THE BILL.

Here was another instance in which GOP Rep. Maria Salazar played some games with timing and semantics in order to mislead her constituents that she had a part in passing Covid Relief.

She didn't.

Watching @AOC's live Instagram feed right now and she's relaying how she was hiding in her office bathroom as the Insurrectionists were elsewhere in her office screaming "WHERE IS SHE?! WHERE IS SHE?!"

She was mere moments - and yards - away from losing her life.
Okay the story just gets weirder. The man who was yelling that with so much hostility was actually Capitol Police Officer. So hostile that she wasn't sure whose side this officer was on.
The Capitol Police Officer told her and her staff member to go to a certain area in the building. But it only brought them closer to ground level where a lot of the chaos was.

She was truly fearful for her life during all of this.

WHAT?!?!

]Rep. Mikie Sherrill is saying that GOP House members "led groups of people through the Capitol Building on a 'reconnaissance' mission one day before the riot that laid a deadly siege on the government's legislative branch."

You read that right.northjersey.com/story/news/pol…
It never occurred to me that GOP Congressmen would've taken some of these people on a tour of the Capitol before their arrival.

But now it makes total sense.

If true, those members of Congress must be expelled ASAP.
Per comments from @sportsidiocracy and @carogonza it stands to reason that - if true - there would be video footage of these guided tours from 1/5 with members of Congress/staff and the 1/6 insurrectionists.

GOOD!

MORE OF THIS!

Trump's insurrection is costing the GOP voters.

"In Miami-Dade...more than 7X as many Republicans as Democrats changed their party registrations in the aftermath of the violence. The ratio was almost as high in Palm Beach County."
sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/…
A *2nd* data point to show that the GOP is hemorrhaging voters.

In Orange County, CA, they "lost 8x more voters than it gained after the violence in D.C., with 600 GOP voters lost from Wednesday to Friday".

They *gained* voters the month prior.
ocregister.com/2021/01/10/sou…
And now a 3rd instance of reporting from Pennsylvania:

"Staff reported a spike in phone inquiries after Wednesday’s riots, and 'virtually all the people calling were people saying ‘I no longer want to be a Republican, how I do change it.’”

🚨DAVID PERDUE CORRUPTION THREAD🚨

There are so many stories about Sen. David Perdue's self-dealing, insider info-laden stock trades that a thread is now necessary in order to keep track.

First, the synopsis article.

#DemCastGA

washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
Next up is the story that started it all:

The revelation that Perdue had taken information given to him as a Senator during a Covid briefing to invest in a company making PPE.

Next up is the revelation that Perdue used info from his position as Chairman of an Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower to acquire up to $190K worth of stock in a company that worked on - wait for it - submarines.
