If you are available to join an action, there will be a rally at Sky Harbor Airport on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 from 3:00 to 4:00pm to support GCA Airport Custodial Workers. These workers have been fighting for justice at the Phoenix Airport for over a year, these jobs were outsourced by the City of Phoenix. Ask your Councilman how much, if any the City has saved by outsourcing these jobs and made them POVERTY JOBS.

NOTE: CHANGE IN OFFICERS

Our next meeting will be February 2nd at the Old Spaghetti Factory, on Central Ave, just South of McDowell in Phoenix. We will meet our first candidate for 2011, Greg Stanton, running for Mayor of Phoenix. We must begin our charge to reclaim Arizona one city at a time, one school board at a time. Whether you live in Phoenix or not, come meet Greg and learn what you can do to help all our 2011 candidates.

We will also be holding election of officers. Following is the slate of officers proposed by our nominating committee:

Chair: Joe Murphy

Vice-Chair: Mary Jo Nickum

Vice-Chair: Randall Holmes

Treasurer: John Nickum

Secretary: Doris Freeman

Members-at-large: John Beaulieu, Mary Ellen Bradshaw, Carol Corsica, Doris Freeman, John Gallagher, Stephanie, Toby Stahl, and Janet Tillotson, Jeffrey Brown

Per our bylaws the Executive Committee amended the bylaws to increase the number of officers on the Executive Committee from 11 to 15 with a quorum being 50% of the number of filled positions.

Nominations will be taken from the floor.

DFA-MC would like to congratulate Andrei Cherney on becoming Chair of the Arizona Democratic Party. We offer our help in anyway we can to improve the chances of Democratic Candidates in Arizona.

Phoenix Initiative to Improve Parks and Preserves

DFAwebstaff — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:14:42 +0000

Phoenix voters will be asked to vote for continuing improvements in their parks and mountain preserves, without an increase in taxes.

The initiative, known as the Phoenix Parks and Preserves Initiative (PPPI), will be Proposition A in the city election on Tuesday, May 20. It will be paid for by extending the 0.1 % sales tax that was passed by voters in 1999 with an 80% approval.

Additional details can be found at www.phxparks.com. Last day to register for new voters is April 21.

The undersigned is a member of the Board of the Phoenix Parks and Conservation Foundation, which is one of many organizations and individuals supporting the initiative to improve the quality of life in Phoenix.
