Words have the power to incite violence
This weekend I watched with horror along with a vast majority of my countrymen and the world as the El Paso shooting unfolded. I was further horrified when the shooter’s alleged manifesto was released because the words sounded very familiar. The manifesto speaks of an “Hispanic invasion of Texas” and warns that white people are […]
Continue readingAllen’s comments prove she is not fit to serve
It gives me no pleasure to say this, but Sylvia Allen, the state senator representing Flagstaff and the rest of Legislative District 6, is a white supremacist. I’ve considered this deeply in the days since her shocking remarks, and there’s no other logical or meaningful interpretation. She referred to research on the “browning of America,” […]

During a rambling, 25-minute speech peppered with religious and autobiographical references, Allen expressed a worldview that the founding principles of the United States are under attack by feminists, secularists, and immigrants. That happened on July 15, according to reporting by the Phoenix New Times. Then it got worse. Having experienced national and statewide condemnation as […]

Yes, she really said that. Along with several other “unbelievable” statements. This is the Senator in the Arizona Legislature representing LD-6, including Flagstaff and Sedona and surrounding areas in Coconino County. It’s definitely time for a change.

Republicans insisted that Senator Sylvia Allen’s bill to expand vouchers wouldn’t cost money. But when the Joint Legislative Budget Committee conducted a fiscal analysis of a bill, it found what was obvious to every honest person — the bill expands enrollment ant thus will cost the state more money. $1.7 million over three years, to […]

Sylvia Allen’s official candidate statement says “On education, I have served as chairman of the Senate Education Committee, passed legislation in support of teachers, children and administrators. Voted for the the teacher salary increase and more funding for the schools.” Sylvia Allen is not a friend of education. She has consistently opposed higher salaries for […]
Continue readingSenate: Campaign funds, dark money sources to stay anonymous
Saying they’re protecting people from harassment, the state Senate voted to block cities and counties from requiring “dark money” groups from disclosing their donors. The Arizona legislature needs to change. When rich people and corporations participate in politics, the rest of us have the right to know it. Senator Sylvia Allen, LD-6 (Flagstaff, Sedona, Holbrook, […]

We wish we could find reliable numbers for how much the Arizona Attorney General’s office has spent on legal fees trying to defend the ridiculously obviously unconstitutional abortion bills that the Arizona legislature has passed in the last decade and which Governors Brewer and Ducey signed (sometimes — occasionally, they vetoed because the bills were […]
