Legislators must protect women in Arizona
As we recognize Cancer Prevention Month, it’s important that our lawmakers in Arizona realize they can act right now to protect women. You, too, can join the fight as the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) hosts ‘Cancer Action Day’ on March 14 at the Arizona State Capitol. Cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers from across the state will meet with legislators and urg[...]
Reform water law to include the environment
Our current water laws and policies are unsustainable for the future. We see a small amount of potential progress, but most of the current legislative proposals further weaken water management. Much more needs to be done to achieve a sustainable water supply and to protect our rivers. Our economy, our well-being, and our wildlife depend on a healthy environment, which includes rivers and springs.
Mines exporting to China threaten Arizona’s water
The real issue isn’t foreign demands for commodities that use Arizona’s scarce water. It is that large multi-national companies are receiving special, subsidized treatment to extract scarce resources that could be better used by current and future Arizonans.
Let’s not celebrate Black History Month without talking mental health
It would be a disservice to highlight Black History Month without also shedding light on the mental health crisis that continues to disproportionately impact minority communities, especially African Americans.
LGBTQ youth represent disproportionate number of homeless
The Legislature must begin to create and pass legislation that is specifically focused on alleviating issues faced by homeless youth, specifically LGBTQ homeless youth. They must also attempt to address the root causes that lead to such a disproportionate amount of queer youth living on the street.
Don’t penalize smokers for trying to quit
Instead of penalizing communities, let’s meet people where they are and break down the barriers that stand in the way of access to healthier, safer alternatives to smoking.
HopeTech could change lives of former foster kids
HopeTech will open with 16 students to start and will eventually house 64 students. But that’s only the beginning. EVIT and Arizona’s other Career Technical Education Districts are uniquely set up to provide students with relevant, hands-on learning that leads to certifications and jobs. If HopeTech is successful – and I fervently believe that it will be – it could become a model for CTEDs[...]
Intellectual Property Heist by the Biden Administration Could Jeopardize Treatment Access for Arizona Patients
To continue being at the forefront of the latest advancements in health care, technology, and more, the federal government must protect strong IP rights that foster continued innovation. The legacy of Bayh-Dole and the vision of pioneers like my father hang in the balance to protect the future of American innovation and economic competitiveness, and local industries in Arizona. The Biden administr[...]
Arizona leaders can help solve US debt crisis
Arizona and other states must now step up and demand that Congress set the time and place for such a convention as required under Article V. To do otherwise would reward bad congressional behavior and moot the state’s equal rights to propose amendments to the Constitution as provided by Article V. The time for action is now!
A contrast in philosophy regarding today’s key issues
Which candidate is forthright and concerned about the needs of you and your family, and which candidate talks the talk but votes NO on major topics of concern?
Delta-8 is the New Spice and K2 – Literally
The belief that Congress inadvertently legalized cannabis is a fallacy and ignores what federal regulators have said ever since the Farm Bill’s passage. Neither the DEA nor the FDA recognizes these substances as lawful, dismissing any such claims as a mere pipe dream. It’s time we start treating unregulated forms of these drugs for what they are - a public health crisis waiting to happen.
Smart step toward ending boating tragedies
Now is the time for Arizona to demonstrate its commitment to the well-being of its citizens and the integrity of its outdoor recreation industry. By adopting HB2149, Arizona can proudly join the ranks of states that prioritize the safety of their waterways.
