Silence IS Acceptance in AZ09

Remember when... "[Daniel] Patterson has fought allegations of ethics violations that included domestic violence, intimidating fellow lawmakers, outbursts of anger, marijuana use and offers to a lobbyist to trade sex for a vote.” – Rep. Daniel Patterson resigns from Arizona House, Arizona Republic, April 11, 2012

Yet on Monday... "Vote 2012: Daniel's Arizona candidate recommendations:
US House,...CD9: Kyrsten Sinema” – The Southwest Eagle (Daniel Patterson’s blog), October 29, 2012

Daniel Patterson has made it clear through his endorsement that he shares the same values and beliefs as Kyrsten Sinema.

Silence is acceptance and Sinema has been disturbingly silent over Patterson’s endorsement. This is just another example of why Kyrsten Sinema is an embarrassment.

Does Kyrsten Sinema Support Using Devastating Defense Cuts As A"Weapon” in Her Party’s Tax-Increasing Agenda? AZ09

Washington Democrats Threaten Devastating Military Cuts Because They Refuse to on Families and Job Creators

WASHINGTON --- Across-the-board cuts would severely threaten our national security but Kyrsten Sinema's Democrat allies have voted to use them as a political pawn so they can get the job-destroying tax hikes they want (Roll Call , 8/1/2012). Sinema and her party are doing everything to distract voters and increase their election chances, from denying that the cuts will happen to offering defense contractors incentives to break the law and not hand out pink slips days before the election.
"It’s troubling that Democrats would use the health of our national security as a ‘weapon’ just so they can continue their reckless spending addiction,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."Arizona families and small business owners do not want these devastating defense cuts and can’t afford more taxes and reckless spending of their tax dollars.”

In the third presidential debate, President Obama attempted to distract from the Democrats’ job-destroying policies after the election:
"’First of all, the sequester is not something that I proposed. It’s something that Congress has proposed. It will not happen. The budget that we’re talking about is not reducing our military spending, it’s maintaining it,’ [said Obama].” (“Remarks by the President and Governor Romney in the Third Presidential Debate,” The White House, 10/23/2012)

In truth, Democrat leaders see devastating defense cuts as a"weapon” in their efforts to increase taxes:
"‘That may be the only way to bring some Republicans into a position of talking,’ Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the assistant Democratic leader, said late last week. ‘We're not going to unload our weapons at this point.’” (Lisa Mascaro,"Congressional Democrats Dig In on Fiscal Cliff Scenario,” Los Angeles Times, 7/16/2012)

Indeed, the very idea of sequestration originated with Democrats:
"The book ‘The Price of Politics,’ by Washington Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward, makes it clear the idea for the draconian spending cuts originated in the White House – and not in Congress.” (Austin Wright,"Bob Woodward Book Could Bolster Republican Attack on W.H.,” Politico, 9/7/2012)

Washington Democrats tried to downplay sequester by requesting that defense contractors"hold off on layoff warnings.” (Jeanne Sahadi,"White House to Contractors: Hold Off on Layoff Warnings,” CNN, 9/28/2012)

Kyrsten Sinema Lies, Trying to Cover Up Her Degrading Comment About Stay at Home Moms. AZ09

Phoenix, AZ – In her recent appearance on Channel 12’s Sunday Square Off with Brahm Resnik, Democratic Congressional candidate Kyrsten Sinema was caught blatantly lying.

When asked if she said stay at home moms were leeching off their husbands Sinema said:
"So, the statement about the stay at home moms is not true at all. I’ve never said anything negative about stay at home moms. In fact, Brahm, my own mom was a stay at home mom.” (KPNX, Sunday Square Off with Brahm Resnik, 10/20/2012)

Fact Check - Ms. Sinema said this to 944 Magazine in 2006:
"These women who act like staying at home, leeching off their husbands or boyfriends, and just cashing the checks is some sort of feminism because they’re choosing to live that life. That’s bulls—t. I mean, what the f—k are we really talking about here?” (944 Magazine, 2006)

Where was Kyrsten? AZ09

@KyrstenSinema Snubbed by President Bill Clinton Days After He Rallied with other House Candidates in California.

Phoenix, AZ – Just two days after President Clinton held a rally at UC Davis in California for several Congressional Democrat candidates, he came to Arizona and snubbed radical leftist Kyrsten Sinema at ASU.

It’s not surprising, since Carmona said he won’t endorse Sinema, even though he endorsed another Arizona Democrat Congressional candidate. Earlier this year, President Clinton endorsed Sinema’s primary opponent.
"It’s the ultimate snub and a stinging rebuke of her radical leftist agenda, for former Democratic President Bill Clinton and Democratic Senate hopeful Richard Carmona to exclude Sinema in the heart of this Congressional district,” said Alyssa Pivirotto, Parker Communications Director.
"The question everyone is asking: why wasn’t she invited? If Sinema was the uniter she claims to be you would think she could at least get her fellow Democrats to stand with her,” concluded Pivirotto.

In 2000, Sinema worked for radical Ralph Nader over liberal Al Gore, and ran against the Democrats in 2000 and 2001, protesting that Democrats were too moderate, that they"had moved too far to the center.”

President Clinton will attend a rally in Iowa Friday for a Democratic Congressional candidate less extreme than Sinema.

Felons Over Families Sinema Record Puts Criminals Before Victims. AZ09

Kyrsten Sinema Authored Law for "Medical Parole" with no Mention of Victims' Rights

PHOENIX – Congressional candidate Kyrsten Sinema today continued her stonewalling over her past career as a criminal defense attorney as her state legislative record reveals a politician more interested in standing up for convicts than for Arizona families.

Sinema in 2007 introduced H.B. 2678, a bill that would have established a process to release criminals on a medical parole (48th Legislature, prisoners; medical parole). Shockingly, Sinema’s bill did not allow for the felon’s victims to make a statement before the parole board or enter a victim impact statement for the record.
"When it comes to protecting her constituents, Kyrsten Sinema comes up woefully short,” said Sharon Giese, Arizona Republican National Committewoman"Before releasing a dangerous criminal back onto the streets, shouldn’t the victims get a say? In her rush to please her far left base, Sinema turned her back on crime victims. While it might be a blow to her get-out-the-vote strategy, thankfully, convicts can’t vote.”

Victims’ rights advocates have long cited the victim impact statement as a critical element in protecting the interests of victims. In fact, their use dates back to a 1992 U.S. Attorney General report on recommendations for protecting victims’ rights. The report states that judges should "Provide for hearing and considering the victims' perspective at sentencing and at any early release proceedings." (United States. Office of the Attorney General. Combating Violent Crime: 24 Recommendations to Strengthen Criminal Justice. 1992. p. 50.)

Sinema, who once bragged that she was a"criminal defense attorney who represents murderers,” has refused calls to release her past client list. (Shawn Macomber,"The Marginalized Mainstream,” The American Spectator, June 14, 2006)

Chairman Tom Morrissey Calls on Kyrsten Sinema to Stop Hiding Her Client List. AZ09

"It Shouldn't Be a Secret"

Kyrsten Sinema Calls Herself a "Criminal Defense Attorney Who Represents Murderers"

PHOENIX – Tom Morrissey, Chairman of the Arizona Republican Party and retired Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal for the District of Arizona, today called on Democrat Kyrsten Sinema to release the names of all of the murderers she has worked for.

In a 2006 interview, Kyrsten Sinema boasted about her work as a"criminal defense attorney who represents murderers.” (Shawn Macomber,"The Marginalized Mainstream,” The American Spectator, June 14, 2006)
"Today I call on Kyrsten Sinema to fully release her client list of murderers, because who she stands with shouldn’t be a secret,” said Morrissey.

Below is a letter Morrissey sent to Ms. Sinema asking her to stop hiding her client list.

October 9, 2012

Ms. Kyrsten Sinema
123 E Baseline Rd. D-202
Tempe, AZ 85283

Dear Kyrsten:
As the former Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal for Arizona, I strongly believe it is important for the people of Arizona and this Congressional district to know whom you stand with.

In a 2006 interview with American Spectator magazine, and while a member of the Arizona Legislature, you proudly boasted that you were a"criminal defense attorney who represents murderers.”

Your voting record is also troubling.

In 2009, you were one of five state representatives to vote against a bill (SB 1253) that adds drive by shooting to the list of specified felonies that are subject to the felony murder classification. This measure was passed in bipartisan fashion 50-5.

In 2007, you were the Prime Sponsor of HB 2278, a bill to end the death penalty for murderers and rapists. Luckily your bill wasn’t passed.
In light of your pronouncements of support for murderers I ask you to immediately release your entire client list of any murderers you have represented or currently represent.

Most sincerely,
/s/

Tom Morrissey
Chairman, Arizona Republican Party

Vernon Parker Releases Plan to Get Economy Back on Track. AZ09

Phoenix, AZ – Today Republican Congressional candidate Vernon Parker released his plan to get the economy back on track and get Americans back to work. The plan is not an esoteric approach to economics. It’s a practical approach – an approach devised after Parker spent weeks speaking with small business owners and CEO’s throughout the Valley. The plan illustrates what those business people have said is necessary to allow them to grow and hire.
"Americans need cash in their pockets and confidence in our economic future in order for our economy to recover,” said Alyssa Pivirotto, Communications Director for Vernon Parker. "Democrat Kyrsten Sinema doesn’t seem to understand that as she’s advocated, among other misguided ideas, to close Luke Air Force Base – a move that would cost more than 17,000 jobs. The bottom line is this: We cannot tax or cut our way to an economic recovery. But we can restore America’s promise by working together to make some tough decisions.”

Some of those decisions outlined in Parker’s jobs plan include:
- Implementing a 5-year freeze of the current tax rate
- Cutting the corporate income tax rate
- Cutting unnecessary government regulation
- Eliminating the death tax
- Simplifying the tax code

Here in Arizona we need to:
- Protect Luke Air Force Base
- Build Interstate 11
- Strengthen and increase ports of entry
- Invest in education

Fixing our economy is not something we can accomplish overnight. It will take hard work, tough decisions and cooperation. Vernon can get that done. In fact, the world’s largest business federation, the US Chamber of Commerce, endorsed Vernon because of his record on pro-business issues saying,"At no other time in our nation’s history has it been more critical that Members of Congress provide leadership that protects and advances the interests of the business community.”

Kyrsten Sinema’s Beguiled Ad Did she forget about Leeches and her Medicaid vote? AZ09

Phoenix, AZ – Today the Vernon Parker campaign released the following analysis of Kyrsten Sinema’s new misleading ad:
"In radical leftist Kyrsten Sinema’s new ad she claims to be a friend to moms but called them ‘leeches,’ and Sinema claims she protects kids but voted to kick 280,000 of the neediest Arizonans off of Medicaid. It’s the latest example of Kyrsten Sinema saying one thing to get elected, but doing another in office,” said Alyssa Pivirotto, Parker's Communications Director.

FACT: According to a January 20, 2011, Arizona Daily Star article,"State Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Olivia Cajero Bedford voted Thursday to allow a bill to move forward that would authorize the state to ask for a Medicaid waiver request from the federal government.”

FACT: According to a April 13, 2012, Phoenix New Times article, Sinema said"’These women who act like staying at home, leeching off their husbands or boyfriends, and just cashing the checks is some sort of feminism because they’re choosing to live that life. That’s bullshit. I mean, what the f*** are we really talking about here?"

Vernon Parker Accepts Debate Invitation in CD-9 Race. AZ09

Phoenix, AZ – Congressional Republican Candidate Vernon Parker will go head-to-head with his Democratic opponent in a televised debate next month hosted by Channel 8 Horizon. The forum will provide an opportunity for Parker to outline his plans and goals for CD9 and to juxtapose his position with Democrat Kyrsten Sinema’s radical leftist agenda.

Just last week, Sinema challenged Vernon Parker to a debate about education. And while Parker believes education should be a pivotal element of the debates, he does not believe it should be the only element. Parker believes voters in CD9 deserve to know where both candidates stand on the issues important to them, including how both candidates plan to get the economy back on track and Arizonans back to work.

Below is the letter sent from the Parker campaign in response to Sinema’s challenge.

September 24, 2012

Kyrsten Sinema
123 E Baseline Rd. D-202
Tempe, AZ 85283

Dear Kyrsten,

Thank you for your letter on September 18 requesting a debate on television. Today I have informed KTVK and KPNX that I will participate in their proposed debates.

I sincerely look forward to debating you on all of the issues including education.

As you know, during your time in the Arizona Legislature our kids have continued to fail at the basics. According to NAEP only 32% of Arizona 4th graders are proficient or advanced in reading skills, and only 35% are proficient or advanced in math skills. That means our education system is failing nearly 70% of our kids. It’s appalling.
However during your time in the Legislature you focused your energy on passing"medically accurate” sex education, in fact you introduced this legislation nearly every year. While I agree sex education is important, even more important is to teach our kids to read, write, and do math. I believe the people of Arizona would agree with me.
Sadly for Arizona kids, this is just another example of you putting your radical agenda above their needs.

I support educational choice, bringing innovation to the classroom, holding teachers accountable, ensuring funding is protected for public schools, protecting and increasing Pell Grants and making sure money destined for the classroom isn’t wasted by Washington bureaucrats. In Congress, I will work to reform NCLB as it clearly is broken, and push for constant testing which will allow for immediate remediation so that our kids can get the educational intervention they need and don’t fall drastically behind. I will enumerate even more priorities I have for education reform in the weeks to come.
I look forward to these debates and will see you on the trail.
Sincerely,

Vernon Parker

*More details on the debate will be released shortly.

Ridiculously Misleading! DCCC Ad Uses a Facebook Page"Like” for Justification in False Attack in AZ09

Phoenix, AZ – Today, the Vernon Parker for Congress campaign reacted to the false and misleading ad created by the DCCC, which lied about Vernon Parker’s position on cuts to Medicare.
"I unequivocally oppose any plan to cut or replace Medicare. I have publicly and repeatedly stated this position throughout this campaign. To have the DCCC clearly lie about my record is another example of how desperate they are to fool the voters,” said Vernon Parker.

AD CLAIM: Parker touted a plan that would replace Medicare, leaving seniors at the mercy of insurance companies...costing them an extra $6400 a year...

But according to the DCCC’s own website, www.dccc.org/races/district/arizonas_9th their justification of making this attack, was that on Facebook, Vernon liked a comment about Paul Ryan.

See it for yourself, from the DCCC"Vernon Parker Research Book”, p. 11 (it is a Google doc on the bottom of the page for the link above):



Here is the link cited above, for this justification, www.facebook.com/parkerforcongress/posts/101518680...66808 and a screen shot of that posting:



Perhaps the DCCC should follow their own advice, from the Cover Page of their"Vernon Parker Research Book”

We already know that Kyrsten Sinema has some pretty wild ideas, but a lot of Arizona voters are just getting to know her. And a new NRCC ad highlights some of Sinema’s greatest hits.

Vernon Parker Releases New TV Ad - @VernonBParker "Never Quit” AZ09





Phoenix, AZ - Vernon Parker released his latest TV ad focused on his commitment to the voters of CD9 –"Vernon won’t quit ‘til it’s done”.

Vernon Parker has never quit, overcoming massive odds to achieve success in his life. Vernon was born in abject poverty, lived in a drug-infested neighborhood and was raised by his grandmother who had to work her entire life just to put food on the table. Despite that, Vernon put himself through college and law school, built a successful career and dedicated himself to giving back. He never quit his fight to overcome the odds and won’t quit fighting for the people of Arizona.
