Gosar Statement Regarding July Illegal Border Crossings and Ongoing Invasion

Date: August 16, 2022

Gosar Statement Regarding July Illegal Border Crossings and Ongoing Invasion

Bullhead City, AZ – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement after the Biden administration released new data showing nearly 200,000 illegal aliens were apprehended crossing the southern border in July. This number does not include the hundreds of thousands who were not apprehended.

“For the seventeenth straight month, more than 150,000 illegal aliens crossed the southern border including 200,000 illegal aliens in July 2022. Since Biden and the open border democrats took over in January 2021, they have facilitated an invasion of our sovereign borders of more than 4.2 million illegal aliens. Included in this invasion are terrorists – over five dozen documented so far, drug traffickers, sex traffickers and common criminals.

Sadly, illicit drugs, including deadly fentanyl, also continue to pour in. More than 2,000 pounds of fentanyl were seized by border officials in July. That’s enough to kill 469 million people, or substantially more than the entire population of our country.

Mr. Biden’s open border policies are a welcome invitation to criminals and drug cartels to cross into our country unchecked. Biden refuses to protect the people of America and he has lost the trust of its citizens. It is no wonder states like Arizona are now completing the wall themselves and will take border security into their hands in order to stop the invasion,” concluded Congressman Gosar.

Here’s What You Can Expect From Session Four of the Entrepreneur Speaker Series

Don’t miss the final session of the Entrepreneur Speaker Series taking place next Wednesday, August 24th at Walter Studios in Downtown Phoenix.

The State Forty Eight Foundation Entrepreneur Speaker Series presented by Ogeez! brings together some of Arizona’s most remarkable founders, CEO’s and industry experts. Each session tackles a theme or topic that is central to the journey of the entrepreneur. Here is what you can expect from session four:

VALUABLE INSIGHT: Business burnout is real. How can entrepreneurs create sustainable practices that allow for growth? The answer is good systems and processes and that’s what session four will focus on. By incorporating foundational operational practices that help them manage teams, leads, sales and so much more – business owners give themselves room to do what they’re meant to do: lead and innovate.

RESOURCES: Various local entrepreneurial organizations will be on site offering their services and support to Arizona startups and small business owners.

CONNECTION: Come ready to meet and connect with fellow entrepreneurs, aspiring business owners and community professionals!

GOOD BITES & A GOOD BUZZ: Our friends at Walter Studios will be throwing down the kitchen and offering select menu items for purchase. And if you’re thirsty, the Honey Bar will be pouring drinks all night!

*FREEBIE ALERT* Our experts are offering the following incentives for attendees who tune in LIVE.

Mackenzie Collier is offering a free 30-minute consultation meeting to all attendees for a limited time. Details on how to schedule will be sent after the session.

ABOUT OUR SESSION FOUR SPEAKERS

Mackenzie Harkey, Founder at Mackenzie Collier Interiors
Mackenzie graduated design school during a period of economic recession. After struggling to find a local design firm that aligned with her values, she decided to take a leap and forge her own path into the design industry, starting her own business with a simple ad on Craigslist. As a queer woman, Mackenzie didn’t see herself reflected among the designers who had gained success in the industry. She also felt strongly that the established interior design business model was deeply flawed, and she was eager to create an unconventional business model that reflected her values of integrity, transparency, sustainability, and inclusivity. Utilizing a passion for data, processes, and efficiency, she overhauled the traditional business model to offer high-quality design services at a price point that would be accessible to working people. In doing this, she increased her profitability, grew her team, and achieved her next big goal: providing a safe space for people from diverse backgrounds to launch their careers in the industry.

Dr. Radman Rahiminejad, Founder, CEO & President at Backfit Health & Spine
Dr. Radman “Radi” Rahimi is the CEO and President of BackFit Health + Spine. He co-founded BackFit Health + Spine in 2002, merging forces with his sister Dr. Yasmin Rahimi to establish one of the most innovative and patient-care-driven, multi-specialty health clinics in Arizona. His reputation as one of the most sought-after and affordable doctors in Chandler, Arizona, has earned Dr. Radi recognition and numerous awards. Dr. Radi attended Arizona State University where he studied Psychology with a pre-med emphasis. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1996, Dr. Radi enrolled at the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic West Campus and graduated with his Doctorate in 2001. It was first at Palmer West where Dr. Radi became involved with sports chiropractic. His passion for sports rehabilitation set the groundwork to develop the concept of healthcare that is now the BackFit Health + Spine vision. Over the past many years, Dr. Radi made it his company’s mission to provide the best multi-specialty healthcare to all of Phoenix and beyond. Dr. Radi stepped out of active practice several years ago to focus on improving the patient experience with regular training and mentoring of his clinical and support staff, as well as traveling nationally to research more potential services to further improve BackFit’s high level of patient service.

Renew America Movement

August 19, 2022
by RJ Hamster

Dear Peter,

You hopefully saw the news by now—Renew America Movement has joined forces with the Serve America Movement and the Forward Party to create a united front in our efforts to defeat extremism and protect our democracy. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be transitioning all our communications and emails to being under a single Forward Party brand. What does that mean for you?

You’ll still be getting emails from familiar faces like Miles Taylor, Mike Ongstad, and advisors like Gov. Christie Todd Whitman. But it also means you’ll be seeing some new names, like Forward Party Chair Andrew Yang, Development Director Kait Saier, and Executive Director Matt Shinners. It also means you’ll be seeing different branding from us.

Our three organizations that used to have different banners…

Are now united under one:

Be on the lookout for these names, this branding, and other Forward Party emails in your inbox! If you’d like to opt-out of these emails, click here.

We are excited for what the future holds, and we are thankful to have you in the fight along with us. Together, we’re renewing America and moving our country Forward.

Best,
Renew America Movement

Dear Peter,

There’s still time left to avoid the worst of the climate crisis, but the clock is ticking. We need to get your feedback on our work in our quarterly survey, and the deadline is midnight tonight!

Your response is still missing, Peter. Will you share your insights now by taking this short, five-question survey? Your feedback is necessary so that we can plan out our next few months of grassroots action. TAKE THE SURVEY

Thank you for adding your voice to this fight!

Subject: We need your feedback, Peter

Peter,

Wildfires are raging. Flash floods are swallowing communities. Heat waves are breaking records. We can see the climate crisis all around us even as we write this. And the clock is ticking – we need to act before it’s too late.

But we’re fighting back. Our grassroots movement grows stronger every day because of dedicated climate activists like you. As we gear up for bold climate action in the fall, we need to hear from you directly.

Our new activist survey will only take one minute, but it’s critical in setting our agenda for the next few months. Please: Will you fill out this survey now? TAKE THE SURVEY

From sweltering temperatures in Japan to devastating floods in Kentucky, climate impacts are becoming more destructive all over the world. But there is still time to stop rising temperatures and prevent climate catastrophe. And the solutions are already in our hands. If we act NOW, we can ensure a just transition to clean energy – and create greener, healthier communities for us all.

We are grateful for every response we get, and we read through every single one. With your insight, we can continue to build our winning movement.

Thank you for your support!

-Your friends at Climate Reality
