I just got an email from Andrei Cherny of the AZ Democratic party. Here are the highlights:
Republicans and Tea Partiers have been organizing protests at redistricting commission meetings -- protests like those seen during the 2000 Florida recount and at 2009's health care town halls. More significantly, GOP House Speaker Andy Tobin and Republican State Chair Tom Morrissey have been pressuring Gov. Brewer to call a legislative special session to remove the independent chair of the Independent Redistricting Commission so they can replace her with someone who will bend to their will. This kind of power play is grossly inappropriate and goes against the will of the voters who passed Prop. 106.
....
That's what we all need you to do now. Calls are flooding Gov. Brewer's office asking her to take this extraordinary, unconstitutional partisan action to remove the independent chair and push the commission toward more partisan goals.
Sure enough, here's what they're doing:
I have attached AG Tom Horne’s offices response to me indicating that we citizens can only appeal to Governor Jan Brewer to remove Mrs. Mathis from this critically important position. This commission will be redrawing our Congressional District’s and Legislative District’s between now and October.Please read Tom Horne’s letter and write or call the Governor.
Maricopa GOP
So how about a little Action on our own, AZ Kossacks?
Call Gov. Brewer at 602-542-4331
WRITE HER
2:39 PM PT: Looks like the phone system is being flakey - After trying 3 times to get ahold of a live person, I'm sending in an email.
