Public Involvement Materials
The U.S. Air Force endeavored to keep the communities involved throughout the Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) in the development of the EIS. The first major public involvement opportunity was scoping. Between January 25 and May 17, 2010 the Air Force held 23 scoping meetings to solicit the public's comments and concerns on the Proposed Action. These comments were considered in the development of the Draft EIS.
The next major public involvement opportunity is public hearings. The Air Force requests members of the public, government agencies, Federal and state agencies, and environmental groups to review and provide comments on the Draft EIS. Thirteen public hearings will be held for the public to provide comments to the Air Force on the Draft EIS. More information on how to provide comments on the Draft EIS are provided on the Provide Comments page.

Proposed Arizona partisan instruction law, based on secular prohibition law
At almost the exact same time as Gabriela Saucedo Mercer was testifying in front of the Government Reform Committee of the Arizona State Legislature on behalf of a bill introduced by Senator Lori Klein, which would prohibit partisan education in publically funded schools, TUSD students were sent an invitation by their teacher Steve Bracamonte: ….. for the rest of the story http://www.arizonadailyindependent.com/2012/02/proposed-arizona-partisan-instruction.html
You remember Shakira right? Her hips don't lie? Oh yeah and she was very outspoken about her frustration with our great state of Arizona and SB1070...yes...now you remember...well it looks like someone/thing isn't much of a fan either...score one for the Sea Lion.
Shakira Was Attacked By A Sea Lion....
The culprit:
The injury:
What happened:
"This afternoon, I was looking tenderly at some seals and sea lions, when I decided to get closer than the other tourists. Recklessly, I lowered onto a rock to pet them and see them up close. Suddenly, one of them jumped out of the water very fast and with such force that the next thing I knew, all I saw was a fin in front of me. It looked at me, made an impetuous sound and tried to bite me."
A few things to note as you watch this video of Ron Barber
-He is ONLY running because Giffords asked him to. He didn't think of running and can't say no to her. Is that you you want representing CD8, someone who wasn't planning on running and only did because he couldn't tell the person who asked him no?
-He never thought about running and is only doing it to honor Giffords? What about the people of CD8?
-It appears to me that this is not an individual who is ready to fight for the people, he seems more concerned with making sure everyone plays nice
-Lastly what a horrible interview, I know as little where Ron Barber stands on the issues than I did before.
Do Ron Barber a favor and don't vote for him, it's apparent he doesn't want the job and isn't ready to be a leader. He is much better served is his community activism.
(Steve Kozachik will no longer be doing his weekly Thursday updates because he has chosen to serve on Ron Barbers congressional campaign. Having him on weekly would open the door for all candidates to ask that they have a member of their staff on the show as well).

To: Jon Justice <justice@1041thetruth.com>
Jon;
Thanks for the phone call tonight. I appreciate your position with regard to my regular appearances on your show and how you need to maintain some level of non-partisanship in how you book regular guests.
I understand that on Monday, you'll be addressing my position with respect to the Ron Barber, D8 campaign. To be clear, that position is to support him as the caretaker candidate for D8. I'll of course individually consider all of the other candidates who will be running for D2 after the Special Election.
While it would be unproductive to engage in an on-air argument, I would appreciate it if you'd share these few points with your listening audience (many of whom have support my work on the Council) so they understand the basis of my position.
First, none of the candidates should want to have to run, fund and manage two simultaneous campaigns. If my suggestion was adopted, none would have to.
Second, the position I've taken is related to the D8 race only. That District will dissolve into the new D2 boundaries in November. That is the District the candidates of both parties should be focused on for the long term.
Third, while it is correctly said that nobody elected Congresswoman's staff, the fact is that they have been doing the work on behalf of the D8 constituents since the shooting, they know the on-going issues the constituents are dealing with, and they are the logical group to close the book on those items for the remaining time D8 exists.
The position I've taken to support Ron Barber to finish out the term honors the will of the electorate of D8 as it was expressed in the November 2010 election. He and the Giffords staff have been furthering the agenda the voters chose, they have been engaged with the on-the-ground constituent work the voters of the District deserve, and they are best suited to close the book on D8 in November.
In a KGUN9 interview last week, the Chair of the local Republican party alleged that I'm doing this for personal, political reasons. I find that to be personally insulting. It is a sad day in this community when it becomes inconceivable that a person can take a position simply on the basis of the belief that it's the right thing to do for the greater good. We can disagree on that, but the comments made by the Chair were inaccurate, and failed to respect the fact that I have consistently taken positions based on conviction, and not on an alleged personal agenda. In fact, the easy thing would have been for me to keep silent on this issue. To have done so would, in my opinion, have been to play along with the same sort of self-serving motivations that she has accused me of, and in fact that the electorate has become weary of seeing in elected officials.
Thanks for the opportunity you have given me to appear on your show. If you ever want to get a deeper explanation of issues you see the Council addressing, please don't hesitate to jot me a note.
