Progress Arizona

House budget plan. Last Monday, the U.S. House unveiled their plan to pay for the Build Back Better Agenda. The package is widely popular with voters, and would make important investments in social policy and green energy. Taxes will not go up for anyone making less than $400K per year, but will be raised on corporations and the wealthy so that we can invest in working families. The plan is a critical step in dealing with the crises we face, but should go furtherin taxing the billionaires whose wealth has exploded during the pandemic to pay for more of the programs that we need.   

End to the fraudit. The Arizona Senate and Maricopa County Board of Supervisors have reached a settlement in relation to the sham audit that has been an ongoing waste of taxpayer dollars over the past several months. The agreement prevents the unqualified Cyber Ninjas from having access to County computer routers in the unprecedented partisan election review. Taxpayers must now fund a third-party review board to take questions from the Senate about the election equipment in order to conclude the sham audit process.The 2020 ballot review will be made publicon September 24th. 

Strike at Sky Harbor. HSM Hostrestaurant workers walked off the job Wednesday morning for a strike to protest understaffing and unbearable working conditions. Staffing problems at Sky Harbor International Airport began amid the pandemic, when the majority of workers were laid off. Now, for only $13 an hour, employees are forced to stay long hours and work the jobs of multiple people as the company has reopened nearly all of the over two dozen restaurants it operates, yet has failed to return to regular staffing levels. As one worker put it, “In order to get people back to work, in a pandemic, you need to make sure that you pay them enough”.

Job review. Arizonans delivered an evaluationto Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s office on Friday, with failing marks in every category. 

Support a pathway to citizenship. Arizona relied on undocumented essential workers throughout the pandemic. We need Senators Sinema and Kelly to support this opportunity to offer a pathway to citizenship to over 100K Arizonans as part of the Build Back Better package. Sign the petition and join Corazon to phone bank Arizona voters in support of this important legislation.

This Week With Gosar

PRESCOTT, AZ – After the long August district work period, the House of Representatives returns to Washington, DC this week. Congress faces several important deadlines in September including funding the federal government and the annual defense policy legislation.  In the meantime, here is a recap of our top stories…

Chino Valley Pays Tribute to 9-11 Victims

This past weekend, I was invited by Beth Vicory to attend an observance in Chino Valley to honor the memory of the victims on the twentieth anniversary of the brutal Islamic attacks on September 11, 2001. Beth raised over $1,000 to have the 9-11 monument installed in Chino Valley.  It is made from a piece of the I-beam steel from one of the World Trade Center towers.  I very much appreciated the opportunity to meet Beth and her family.

Gosar Joins Meals on Wheels to Deliver Meals to Constituents

Also this week, I joined the good folks from Prescott Meals on Wheels and had a great time helping deliver meals to constituents. Prescott Meals on Wheels provides nutritional meals to the elderly and disabled on a daily basis enabling them to live independently with safety and dignity in the Prescott and Prescott Valley areas. Thank you to Meals on Wheels Executive Director, Bert Ijams and the entire team at Meals on Wheels. We appreciate the important service you provide our community!

Body Cameras: If They Are Good Enough for Cops, They Should be Good Enough for Congress! 

This week I introduced a resolution creating a pilot program to require the leadership of the House of Representatives to wear body cameras and share the recorded footage with the public and it received a lot of positive attention.  

Sadly, Congress no longer operates in an open process and many bills are written behind closed doors in Nancy Pelosi’s office. This lack of transparency in Congress is driving public trust in government to near-historic lows. Less secrecy from our leaders is a good place to start.  

Today, body-worn cameras are already used by police officers and in many schools across America.  If cops and schools have cameras, so should members of Congress. People want to know what is really going on.  I aim to let them see.

Gosar Calls for Investigation Concerning General Milley’s Secret Calls to China

Reports this week that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, held two private phone calls with his counterpart in the People’s Liberation Army of the Chinese Communist Party in October 2020 and January 2021 are deeply troubling and raise very serious national security concerns.  During these calls, General Milley gave assurances that he would utilize secret back channels to alert his Chinese officials about President Trump’s military strategy towards China. 

If true, General Milley engaged in reckless conduct to obstruct the Commander in Chief’s ability to fully utilize his military authority and his actions were at best insubordinate, and at worst treasonous. 

A full investigation of these reports is required, which is why this week I joined my Republican colleagues on the House Oversight and Reform Committee and sent a letter to the Secretary of Defense demanding he provide transcripts, attendees, and notes of these calls so we can assess the validity of these disconcerting reports.

Gosar Weighs in on National Defense Policy

Next week, the House will consider the National Defense Authorization Act. Passed for 60 years straight, it authorizes our national defense policies for the Congress to fund. As Congress debates the important annual must-pass legislation, I offered the following amendments:

• Downwinders Parity: Expands the Downwinders compensation program to include all of Mohave County and extends the Radiation Exposure Compensation Trust Fund for five additional years.
• Congressional War Powers Restoration:Strips the President of unconstitutional war making authorities and restores them in the Congress, as Article I mandates. 
• Afghanistan War Records Collection:Requires the expeditious disclosure of all records related to the war in Afghanistan to the public.
• Stopping Terrorist Minerals Trade: Prohibits minerals or products made with minerals from Afghanistan from being imported into the United States. 
• Closing Portugal Immigration Loophole:Strikes provision making Portugal eligible for visas due to its easily exploitable golden visa scheme that could allow Chinese Communist Party officials to enter the U.S. as “Portuguese” citizens.
• Border Wall: Authorizes the Army Corps of Engineers to construct a wall on the southern international border with Mexico.
• Military Industrial Complex Investigation: Requires the Comptroller General to report on how the merging of major defense contractors has impacted defense spending. 
• Separation of Powers Restoration: Repeals unconstitutional Presidential war and emergency powers, restricting executive action to Article II and giving the People standing to sue an overbearing executive infringing on their liberties.
• General Milley Investigation: Required the Department of Defense investigate reports that General Milley held private phone calls with his counterpart in the People’s Liberation Army of the Chinese Communist Party in October 2020 and January 2021 and refer the findings of the Department of Justice if there is criminal wrongdoing.

Picture of the Week

Thousands of illegal aliens from Haiti.

Thousands of illegal aliens rush the border in Texas to come to the United States for taxpayer paid housing, education, welfare and medical care. The Biden administration is welcoming the illegal aliens and dispersing them throughout the country.  Nearly 44,000 illegal immigrants were released into the country in August. Many of these illegal aliens are sick with COVID-19 and other diseases and are contributing to the surge in cases.   

209,000 illegal immigrants crossed the southern border in August. This is 317% increase compared to last August. Since Mr. Biden took office, 1.2 million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border. We are on pace to have two million illegal aliens cross the southern border in 2021.
