State Rep. Bob Thorpe is a BBA Task Force co-founder and our sponsor in Arizona. Had a long chat with him and Dave Biddulph about our effort there. Turns out that the Senate President may not be as much of a problem as we thought. Gov. Brewer will be of no help since all the Republican legislators are pissed off at her. Bob will work with Sen. Al Melvin and Typhoon Lou on getting an I Am American presentation set up in Phoenix in January. Once we have a firm date Bob and I will appear on “The Joe Show” in Flagstaff, and, much more importantly, we should be able to get on Mike Broomhead’s show on KFYI in Phoenix. We’ll talk about Article V, the BBA, and promote the I Am American event. Bob says we only have a two vote majority in the Senate, which means we can’t leave any stone unturned. I feel a lot better about Arizona after talking to Bob.
An excellent article on the Mt. Vernon Conference appeared today at Forbes.com. It was written by a friend of the Convention of States guys, and gave them prominent mention. Nothing about the BBA Task Force, and our 20 resolutions. I wrote the first comment, correcting that omission. Even though it was very well written, it doesn’t seem to be getting any traction, which is hard to figure.
