UPDATE:  at 1:55pm 3-12-8  The House has passed the Motion to Reconsider, and HCM2003

"Opposing the North American Union" lives on.  THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE ACTUAL BILL HAS PASSED.  It only means it can continue.

Despite a runaround experience with Rich Crandall’s office, it has been confirmed that Representative Tom Prezelski made the motion to reconsider in this afternoon’s floor session.  please feel  free to email (tprezelski@azleg.gov) or phone (602-926-3424) to thank him.

here is a fallow-up message from AZ  Senator Karen Johnson:

Wow! You guys are fabulous! The reports we've gotten from the House
of Representatives are that the phones have been going
K-U-H-R-A-Z-Y-!!! Yesterday one of the Representatives agreed to ask
for "reconsideration" (a second vote). Today one of the legislators
called my office to say that they had, as a group, come up with some
amending language that they think they can live with. I've read the
amendment and it looks fine. The bill still does exactly what we want
it to do – it calls for an end to the push for a North American Union.
So, the bill will be brought up again on Tuesday. If anyone's
interested in watching, the Floor session will be broadcast live on
the internet Tuesday. Please discontinue the phone calls to your
legislators, but if any of you haven't sent an email yet, feel free to
still do that. (Just as a little continuing encouragement to support
HCM2003.) If anything changes, I'll let you know on Monday.

Thanks for being such a great grassroots movement! You guys are
wonderful! This has been a VERY successful effort.

Best regards,

Senator Karen S. Johnson

PLEASE, do not wait to act on this. Because of citizen resistance the SPP has been forced to back out of promoting the NAU on a Federal Level and they are now trying to implement it State by State. You can only guess which side Good old Napolitano is on. We need this to pass so that Arizona can stand with other states that have established that we will not tolerate a merging of North America. Let's flood their offices and show them that majority of Arizona (and the country and the world) opposes the NAU.

The vote is to the right of each Representative's name. If any of
your Representatives voted "No," please contact them immediately and
tell them you want them to change their vote to a "Yes." Feel free to
contact your Reps by phone, email, FAX This is URGENT! Please contact

Senator Karen S. Johnson

IT IS WORKING!  WE ARE DOING IT!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

If one of the Representatives whom voted "NO" on this bill
moves for reconsideration within 24-hours, then discussion is
re-opened and the previous vote is null.

Here is what YOU can do to help:
Rich Crandall voted "NO", but since then he's been educated
on the importance of this bill. Now he's on the fence.

I believe that we can flood his email, phone and fax urging
him to move for reconsideration and that he'll do it.

His contact info is rcrandall@azleg.gov, (p) 602 926 3020,
and (f) 602 417 3119.

Take action now! Let's win this thing!
Below is the message that I sent to Rich Crandall.

subject: Reconsider HCM 2003
mailed-by: gmail.com




Dear Rich,

I noticed that you voted "NO" to HCM 2003. I am urging you
to move for reconsideration ASAP.

This is a very big and important issue that is part of a
larger agenda. It will be very dangerous to leave the People
of Arizona open to the possibility of a North American Union.

The North American Union is not a joke, Rich. It's the death
of this country. No more Constitution, no more Bill of
Rights, no more "of the People, by the People, for the
People".

Please reconsider your vote and support the People to whom
you took an oath.

Sincerely, PUT YOUR NAME HERE!!! DO IT!!! NOW!!!
