Easy Ways to Stay Informed

The Arizona Free Enterprise Club is an fiscally conservative organization that sends out email updates during the Arizona Legislative Session discussing the pros & cons of proposed legislation. I am almost always in agreement with their position. If you click on the red circled envelope at the bottom right corner of their website, you can sign up for their email updates.

Americans For Prosperity or, as the Arizona Chapter is known, Arizona Federation of Taxpayers, is also a great source of information during the legislative session. Tom Jenney, the ATF’s president, sends out email updates on budget issues & legislative proposals that effect the taxpayer. Some of his emails serve as “action alerts” so that you can organize a group of like-minded folks to call or email legislators.

The Goldwater Institute sends emails almost daily during session about all types of legislative proposals, weighing in on both fiscal & social proposals. They also rate legislators each year & compile a scorecard, much like Americans for Prosperity/Arizona Federation of Taxpayers.
