Alliance Defense Fund accomplishments

As the fiscal year nears its close, we have so much to be thankful for:

• Proposition 8 victory in California, along with new marriage amendments in Arizona and Florida
• Successful 2009 National Day of Prayer, despite a federal lawsuit to stop it
• A victory for churches’ right to speak the Truth

While these are all reason to celebrate, that last point is a great example of how the Alliance Defense Fund works: a unique blend of our strategy, training, and funding working together to protect your religious freedom.

Watch the video to hear what happened at Canyon Ferry Road Baptist Church in Montana and how the courage of one small congregation made a lasting difference for your religious freedom.

Goldwater Institute: State should spend less, hold line on taxes

By Tom Patterson Fiscal conservatives in Arizona are in shock. After six years of watching Gov. Janet Napolitano's fiscal mismanagement drive our state to the brink of disaster, there was hope for relief earlier this year. Our new governor, the conservative Jan Brewer, would have the courage and good sense to set us back on course to recovery. It hasn't worked out that way. Right out of the box, she opined that she might possibly consider a tax increase to balance the budget if all other options had been exhausted. When politicians talk like that, it usually means hold on to your wallet, and this time was no exception. Soon after, she included a non-specified $1 billion tax hike in her budget reform proposal. "Maturing" rapidly, in the eyes of the mainstream local press, she then threatened a veto for any budget that didn't include new taxes. Now her supporters, with her approval, have threatened a $225,000 media campaign against fellow Republicans who refuse to inflict more taxes on Arizonans during a recession. Arizona lost 170,000 jobs from February 2008 to February 2009, the second-highest job loss in the nation. During that same time period, government added 4,500 net jobs. With families and businesses across the state cutting back and coping the best they can, sending more of our resources to the growing government sector is just nuts. Admittedly, Brewer is in a tough spot trying to remediate the consequences of Napolitano's reckless spending. But her budget proposal doesn't do anything to solve our predicament. Under her plan, state revenues, currently in free-fall, would have to grow 40 percent in two years to have a balanced budget, after the temporary tax and stimulus funds were depleted. That's not going to happen. The only solution to a spending problem is to spend less. That's not pleasant, but the alternative is worse. Principled, responsible leadership is more than kicking the can down the road. Just ask California. Tom Patterson is chairman of the Goldwater Institute and a former state senator.

Goldwater Institute: City of Tempe Asks for "Do Over" in Tattoo Studio Case

City says it was unprepared during first court hearing and wants another chance

Phoenix--The City of Tempe has filed a motion asking Judge Robert Oberbillig to give it another chance to make its case in the lawsuit filed by the Goldwater Institute on behalf of two tattoo studio entrepreneurs.

In October 2007 Tom and Elizabeth Preston had their business permit revoked by the Tempe City Council based on the "perception" that their business might attract crime to a Tempe shopping center. After almost two years in litigation, the Prestons finally had their day in court, and justice prevailed: Judge Oberbillig ruled that Tempe had no right to revoke the Preston's permit.

But instead of following the judge's orders, Tempe wants a second chance to argue its case. Not for any good reason, but because the City says it was unprepared at the first hearing, admitting in its motion that it was asked for previous cases supporting the City's position and it had none, but that it has since found some cases.

"This motion for reconsideration is outrageous," says Clint Bolick, director of the Goldwater Institute Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation and attorney for the Prestons. "Tempe says it wasn't prepared the first time we went to court and now the City wants to make legal arguments it failed to make the first time."

Judge Oberbillig has set a July 6, 2009 hearing date to rule on the motion for reconsideration.

"The only reconsideration that needs to happen in this case is on the Tempe Council's part," continued Bolick. "They have had ample opportunity to reconsider the stereotypes upon which they based their discriminatory action against the Prestons. It's time for Tempe to let them open their business."

Sen. Pearce on illegal immigrant trespassing bill

SB1175 to eliminate sanctuary policies has passed out of the Senate and is over at the House. Folks I need everyone to call the Speaker of the House Rep. Kirk Adams and make sure he assigns SB1175 to Government Committee. It is a committee that will vote the bill out of committee. Rep. Adam Driggs is the Chairman of House Judiciay and not very friendly to immigrtation enforcement. www.azleg.gov

The following is from our friends Bob & JoAnn Hartle at ID Theft Services, Inc. www.idfraud.org

Arizona Bill, SB1175, Would Criminalize the Presence of Undocumented Immigrants in the State
June 11th, 2009

PHOENIX, Arizona – Undocumented immigrants in Arizona could face jail terms for simply being in the state under a series of bills gathering momentum in the state legislature.

Sen. Pearce, author of the SB 1175 bill
A bill approved Wednesday by a Senate committee (SB 1175) would allow any police officer to arrest an undocumented immigrant under charges of trespassing on state land. Those jailed would have to pay the cost of their own incarceration.

“If this bill passes, it would be the first state in the nation making illegal presence a crime,” said Alessandra Soler-Meetze, Executive Director of the Arizona Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). “The implications are tremendous. What it means is that anyone who is in this country without proper documentation is going to be charged and arrested.”

Soler-Meetze argues that the bill is unconstitutional because states don’t have the power to enforce federal immigration laws. She cited a case in 2005 in which police in New Hampshire used state law to arrest undocumented immigrants on trespassing charges. A court later dropped the cases because they conflicted with federal law.

The Arizona bill includes a number of provisions, among them one against “sanctuary policies” that would restrict any government agency or city from limiting immigration enforcement.

The legislation is part of a package of bills being pushed by Republicans in the Arizona House and the Senate, who want to grant more powers to local law enforcement to detain, prosecute and incarcerate undocumented immigrants.

“There’s no greater threat to our community than the illegal immigration invasion,” said Republican Sen. Russell Pearce, author of SB 1175. Story

Remeber, don't forget to call or e-mail the Speak of the House and give just a friendly reminder to assign SB 1157 to the Government Committee. Then be sure to pass this on.

Goldwater Institute: One percent budget reduction not crippling

by Matthew Ladner, Ph.D. We have a new entrant in the K-12 fable-making industry: a website called Stand Up for Arizona. A few weeks ago, the Arizona Economic Council created an advertisement equating Arizona public school funding to that of a Third World country. Of course, Arizona spends many times above and beyond the wildest dreams of Third World school administrators. But that didn't stop them from making the claim. Stand Up for Arizona is not so reckless with the truth. Not quite. The website does, however, complain bitterly about the $133 million in K-12 reductions in the legislature's January 2009 budget fix: These devastating cuts have forced already underfunded K-12 schools to lay off teachers, eliminate programs, and cancel orders for books and school supplies. Over 5,500 teachers and 2,000 school employees from 120 districts across the state have been laid off. Many of these cuts were so severe that schools had no option but to cut into core academic areas like English and Social Studies. The writer neglects to mention that total revenue for Arizona school districts was more than $9.2 billion in 2007-8 (see page 6 of the linked report). The January reductions amounted to something in the neighborhood of 1 percent. That's far from "crippling," as Stand Up for Arizona suggests. Stand Up for Arizona isn't doing itself any favors by crying wolf at minor reductions. Arizona faces a daunting new fiscal reality. Public schools needed to do more to boost student learning before the crisis. Now they will have to adjust to doing more with less.

AFP: Press Conference Opposing Tax Hikes-- Wednesday at the Capitol

Calling All Arizona Taxpayers and Tea Partiers:

This Wednesday morning (June 17), from 8:00 to 9:00 am, the Arizona chapter of Americans for Prosperity will hold a news conference at the state Capitol to rally legislators against the billion-dollar sales tax hike proposed by Governor Jan Brewer.

Making its first appearance on Wednesday morning will be AFP Arizona’s gigantic inflatable ATM bank machine. ATM stands for “Already Taxed to the Max.” We want the Governor and the Big Spenders at the Legislature to know that taxpayers do not like being used as an ATM machine when politicians have overspent their budgets and are short on revenue.

Speakers at the news conference on the Senate Lawn will include Senate appropriations chairman Russell Pearce and many of the other state legislators who have been working hard to hold the line against tax increases. Also speaking will be Goldwater Institute tax and budget studies director Byron Schlomach and Goldwater Institute education policy expert Dr. Matthew Ladner. Taxpayer activists and representatives from allied anti-tax hike organizations are also invited to speak. AFP will post a more complete listing of speakers tomorrow on its website (www.aztaxpayers.org).

We know that Arizona taxpayers are very busy, and that unlike so many unionized government employees, you don’t get paid time off to come down to the Capitol and lobby. But the time has come to fight for your right to keep your money. It’s very important that taxpayer activists come by before work on Wednesday to make their voices heard. Please contact me at infoAZ@afphq.org to let me know if you plan to attend the news conference.

You have done a great job so far of emailing and calling your legislators, and your hard work is already paying off

Unlike the Governor, AFP Arizona believes that taxpayers count as stakeholders in the very important debate over whether or not to raise taxes.

Arizona has one of the worst budget deficit in the country, on a per-capita basis, because of the huge spending increases enacted by Gov. Janet Napolitano and the Legislature during the past six years. If Arizona can resolve this crisis without raising taxes, we will do America a great service. Arizona must serve our country as a counter-example to the dangerous national trend of tax-and-spend crisis management.

Show up for AZ Civil Rights hearing on Tuesday

The Arizona Civil Rights Initiative (SCR 1031) will be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday June 16 at 2:00pm.

SCR 1031 will amend the state constitution to prohibit affirmative action programs that grant preference based on race or gender in public contracting, public employment or public education.

In Arizona, if the House and Senate vote in favor of such a concurrent resolution, they can refer the Civil Rights Initiative to the general election ballot for November 2010.

The House Government Committee passed the House version of the bill last Wednesday 6 to 3. The Republicans on the committee voted unanimously to pass the bill. Republican members, Antenori, Crump, Driggs, Gowan, Montenegro and Nichols deserve praise for their support to end race preferences in public contracting, public employment and public education.

We need to show the legislature that there is strong support for ending affirmative action programs that grant preferential treatment in our state. If you or friends and family can attend all you have to do is sign in and specify “in favor of,” you will not need to prepare any comments or speak on behalf of the bill.

The ACLU, NAACP and other members of the left will stop and nothing to preserve their radical agenda. They will be at the committee hearing in full force misrepresenting the initiative. Now is the chance to fight back.

Contact your state Senator and tell them to support SCR 1031, click on this link for a member roster.

When: Tuesday, June 16th at 2:00pm
Where: Senate Building (next to the capitol)
1700 West Washington Street
Phoenix, AZ 85007

For additional information email info@arizonacri.org

Come and show your support – Together we can end affirmative action programs that grant preferential treatment based on race or sex in Arizona.

CAP: Pro-Family Bills Moving Closer to Finish Line!

After five months of the legislative "obstacle course" with the battles continuing to rage over the state budget, very few bills are still running strong. Fortunately, many CAP-supported bills are still moving along, inching closer to the finish line. With seven bills passing through Senate committees this week and Jesse's Law, Part 2 passing the House on Thursday, we remain hopeful these bills will become law so that preborn children can be protected and religious freedoms are upheld. Bill status and progress changes daily so stay up-to-date by checking CAP's blog.

If you have not yet responded to CAP's Action Alert on the pro-life bills, do so now! Floor votes could occur any day. Please continue to pray for the passage of these bills during this chaotic time at the state legislature.

Living Together Before Marriage? Bad Idea!

Today's culture regularly bombards our children with the idea that living together before marriage is the norm and is even a good idea. The "hook-up generation" has learned to base their actions on temporary feelings instead of principles. However, the social science data continues to confirm the value of marriage. Rutgers University released a new report showing that unmarried cohabitation increases the likelihood of divorce and decreases overall happiness. Our culture is starting to see the effects of careless cohabitation, and the results are clear: marriage is still the best option.

Hitting the Road!

On Monday, CAP's own Brett Urig will be arriving in Dallas, Texas, to start the FPC Summer Tour. In fourteen days, Brett will visit ten different Family Policy Councils throughout America. Each night, interviews and blogs will be posted on the FPC Summer Tour website. Make sure to follow Brett as he visits Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Virginia.

June Truth Project Training in Glendale, July in Show Low!

If you haven't been trained to lead a Truth Project small group, CAP is offering two great opportunities to equip you to be a small group leader. On June 20th, CAP will be hosting another Truth Project training session in Glendale. On July 11th, we will be hosting another training in Show Low. You can register online for these events!

Goldwater Institute: Sotomayor not a shift to the left compared to Souter

by Clint Bolick The candidates considered by President Barack Obama for the seat of retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter ran the gamut from mainstream to radical. In choosing Judge Sonia Sotomayor, Obama appears to have resisted the impulse to choose a justice who would try to remake the Constitution, in favor of a well-qualified judge who usually votes along liberal lines but shows an independent streak. Critics have focused on comments Sotomayor made that her ethnicity and gender may influence her decisions. If they have, it's not obvious in her judicial record. A former prosecutor, Sotomayor generally has taken a moderate position in criminal cases. She voted to uphold a federal government ban on the use of foreign-aid dollars for abortion. She upheld a family's unilateral placement of their disabled child, who was receiving federal funds, in a private school. She dissented in a First Amendment case that upheld a city's action against a police officer who anonymously spread racist propaganda off-hours, despite the fact that the speech offended her. Three decisions, however, are especially troubling. In a case that presently is before the Supreme Court, she voted to uphold a city's action in throwing out the results of a civil service examination because too few minorities were promoted. She voted to uphold a particularly brutal abuse of a city's eminent domain power. (So much for the "empathy" Obama purports to value.) And she ruled that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms does not extend to the states. David Souter, the justice Sotomayor would replace, also ruled in favor of racial preferences, upheld eminent domain abuse, and took a restricted view of the Second Amendment. Overall, however, if her appellate court record is an indication of her views as a justice (no sure thing), she will be less of a doctrinaire liberal than Justice Souter. We should hold her accountable about cases in which she strayed from the Constitution--but also consider ourselves lucky that Obama did not choose a nominee who exhibits disdain for the rule of law. Clint Bolick is director of the Goldwater Institute Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation.

Goldwater Institute: Honest budget debate requires common starting point

By Byron Schlomach, Ph.D. It's easy to be confused when it comes to the state budget and the competing plans for closing next year's deficit. On the one hand, Governor Brewer says there is a $4 billion deficit going into 2010. On the other hand, the Legislature says it's a $3 billion deficit. The Legislature's plan claims to trim the budget by $630 million, while the Governor claims $930 million in reductions. Yet, it's consistently reported in the news that the Legislature is cutting more than the Governor. Clearly, the two sides are using different starting points, making it rather hard to get at the truth. The Legislature apparently starts with the current 2009 budget; but the governor starts with the 2009 budget as written before January, and doesn't take into account the budget reductions that were already made this year. To help address this problem in the future, the Goldwater Institute has recommended that state finances be independently certified by the State Treasurer's office to provide lawmakers with an accurate figure upon which to base the budget. But the biggest subterfuge of the budgeting process to-date is the amount of state spending reported and the degree of shrinkage that has occurred in government. Since 2007, General Fund spending in Arizona has been pretty much flat, around $10 billion, as shown in the graph below. Total state spending, however, including all special funds, fund sweeps, and federal monies, has increased every single year (with the possible exception of yet-to-be-completed FY 2009). In other words, by using fund sweeps, increased federal funding, and other gimmicks, policymakers have mostly avoided actually reducing state government. In fact, state government employment increased through most of 2008 and as recently as February was still higher than in 2007. Local government employment has also continued to grow throughout the recession. Perhaps with a common set of assumptions and an honest look at the big picture, we could finally get the state budget problem resolved. Regular Arizona taxpayers' pocketbooks are shrinking; it's high time government shared the pain. Byron Schlomach, Ph.D, is director of economic policy at the Goldwater Institute.

Goldwater Institute: Student testing system a farce

by Matthew Ladner, Ph.D. The performance of every public school in Arizona gets judged under two sets of standards: the state system (AZ Learns) and the federal (No Child Left Behind). Under the federal system, schools failing to make yearly progress over a prolonged period of time face sanctions such as paying for private tutoring and even closure and reconstitution with a new staff. Arizona school administrators need not worry about any of that too much, however, as the powers that be have rigged the game in their favor. Previously, we have written about AIMS suffering the largest dummy down in the country. We have also documented that Arizona's version of the Terra Nova exam produces entirely implausible results. Now a recent study by the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation shows that state policymakers have taken further steps to take the bite out of No Child Left Behind. "Accountability Illusion" chose 18 elementary and 18 middle schools from around the country, and applied the varying No Child Left Behind accountability rules of 28 different states to see which schools would make "Adequate Yearly Progress" under which set of rules. They were trying to figure out which states jimmied the details to make it easier to meet AYP. They found that seemingly minute details like how many students were required to make up a subgroup and adopted "error margins" make a big, big difference. Fordham determined Arizona had the second-lowest overall standards of the 28 states studied. Arizona's student testing accountability system is profoundly off track. We have a dummied down AIMS test, an obviously flawed version of the Terra Nova, and a system of accountability under No Child Left behind that favors the school system's interest in the status quo over the public's interest in transparency. State lawmakers should become far more aggressive in guaranteeing a quality system of transparent student testing. Dr. Matthew Ladner is vice president for research at the Goldwater Institute.

What bills the local ACLU is opposing

(in other words, bills you should support)

Tomorrow, Senate committee members will meet to vote on numerous bills that have far-reaching civil liberties implications. Please take action to prevent the passage of these two bills:

SB 1175 "Illegal Aliens; Enforcement; Trespassing"

This bill makes any non-citizen who has entered the United States without permission guilty of the state crime of trespassing. It also severely ties the hands of city and county police departments by requiring them to prioritize this issue above other public safety responsibilities. Such a proposal is particularly harmful at a time when Arizona's local governments are already making difficult choices about how to allocate the few resources they still have. Finally, the bill will clog the courts by creating a private right of action for any person to sue the state or city if they perceive that the agency is not enforcing immigration law "to the full extent permitted by federal law."

SB 1175 is bad for Arizona because:

• Police departments that are currently enforcing immigration law through a contract with federal immigration authorities have already incurred costly litigation for violations of civil liberties.
• This bill will siphon off more officer time away from other important crime-fighting duties without the benefit of a contract or proper training, and result in prolonged detentions of citizens and legal residents. A 256-page report by the Police Foundation recently concluded that the costs of local police enforcement of immigration outweigh the benefits and that police officers should be prohibited from detaining anyone to investigate immigration status where there has been no state criminal law violation.
• Because the Constitution gives the federal government exclusive power to regulate our borders, with few exceptions, states are not free to create their own laws regulating immigration. A similar attempt to cloak local police with additional powers using a trespassing statute in New Hampshire was found to violate the Constitution.

The Public Safety and Human Services Committee will meet at
8:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 10, to hear SB 1175.

SB 1393 "Public Education; Students' Religious Liberties"

This bill mandates that school officials allow public school students to wear all "religious symbols and messages."

SB 1393 is bad for Arizona because:

• It carves out protections for only religious expression and speech. Favoring religious speech over other forms of expression is prohibited by both the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as well as the establishment clause of the First Amendment. If a school allows religious words on one student's t-shirt, it cannot prohibit another student from wearing a t-shirt with other, non-religious messages (unless the messages are obscene or disruptive).
• It serves as a mandate on school districts to pass local policies on the "voluntary expression of religious viewpoints," essentially forcing local schools to pass content-based regulations. This could cause schools to incur automatic legal liability.
• It is not necessary and fails to address any particular problem. This is especially true considering the Constitution already protects students' ability to express their personal religious, political, philosophical, and other beliefs in classrooms and during school activities - consistent with policies supporting a free exchange of ideas and expressions.

The Education Accountability and Reform Committee will meet at
1:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, to hear SB 1393
