TENTATIVE AGENDA
Opening: Welcome, Invocation, Pledge
TEA Party business: Are you ready for the primary?
Featured speakers: Jim Ward, Susan Bitter-Smith
Jim and Susan are the CD-5 Congressional candidates who could not attend our June meeting because of schedule conflicts. Both have responded to our forum questions on video; their responses will be posted on Monday along with video from the forum.
“Time available”: Brief introductions from candidates in attendance, as time permits. Priority given to CD-5 Congressional candidates.
Candidate forum: Arizona Corporation Commission.
Established in Article XV of Arizona’s Constitution, the Corporation Commission is one of our state’s most powerful agencies. The Commission regulates public utilities, including rates and service levels; enforces regulations on railroads and pipelines; registers corporations and LLCs; and licenses, registers, and governs the sale of securities and investment advice. In the near future, the Commission may revisit such topics as the Western Climate Initiative (characterized as a regional cap-and-trade agreement) and renewable (“green”) energy requirements for public utilities. Two of five positions on the Corporation Commission are up for election this year.
“Meet and greet” time
We plan the content of each meeting to end at 8:30, allowing roughly 20-30 minutes to talk with candidates (and one another!) in person. The facility must be vacated no later than 9pm.
Agenda information will be posted as confirmations come in, but we want to make sure you know in advance: Our next meeting will be at the same time in the same location.
When: Wednesday, July 21, 2010. 7-9pm
Where: Pecos Community Center, 17010 S 48th St
The Pecos Community Center is at the south end of 48th Street, across the 202.
Hope to see you there!
We were overwhelmed at the attendance and the response tonight. Thanks to everyone who came! Thanks to the candidates who attended. We hope you got to know more about them tonight and took the opportunity to get involved with a campaign.
Jim Ward has agreed to answer our forum questions on video next week. We mentioned tonight that we will extend the same offer to Susan Bitter-Smith. One of us has just sent an email message to her campaign. Since we’d rather put it all up at once, it may take a while before we post video as promised.
If you signed up to get involved with the group, thanks! We look forward to working together, and we’ll be in touch soon.
Thanks again!
