The AZ Daily Independent and AZ Free News both incorrectly reported on the June 11th PBS Maricopa Recorder debate: “just two of the three candidates in the GOP Primary were invited, namely Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and Don Hiatt. Heap’s absence was notable, public, and embarrassing for the public broadcaster.”
This reporter obtained 2 emails dated April 9, 2024 and June 2, 2024 that clearly show that Justin Heap was invited and were sent to his official jheap@azleg.gov (listed as official email on https://www.azleg.gov/memberroster/)
Just because Justin Heap did not check his legislature email, and then lied about not receiving the email, is no reason for PBS to cover for him and schedule a special one on one interview.
Heap has since made up another lie which AZ Free ran with saying “It wasn’t until later that a request was found emailed to Heap’s official legislative email account. And had he replied to it, political consultants advised, he could be prosecuted for violating state law by using public resources for a partisan campaign.”
This is of course ridiculous. The second email shows Stephen Richer simply replied with his personal email, which Heap could have done as well.
Heap has changed his story multiple times and it is indisputable that he was at a fundraiser instead of the PBS debate.
Republican Senator Wendy Rogers, Republican House of Representatives Justin Heap, and Democrat Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cázares-Kelly were all hit with Cease and Desist letters recently for violating the Arizona Constitution, US Constitution, and recent US Supreme Court ruling against government officials illegally blocking citizens on social media. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer unblocked nearly 30 accounts following a similar Cease and Desist, rather than face inclusion in a $10 million class action lawsuit.
UPDATE: Wendy Rogers is now blocking HER OWN official county GOP social media:
We will be sending out additional Cease and Desist letters and continuing to help protect the First Amendment rights of citizens on social media. Please share this message on social media and if inclined make a donation here:
Just days ago I broke the story of the infamous Mike Gill sent to Arizona to setup delegates and and spread lies and propaganda related to the RINO coup attempt and false narrative of a “brokered convention” which was irrefutably proven false by hard evidence and was completely without merit. In interviews I conducted, the 6 challenged Arizona delegates, who are 100% MAGA Trump supporters, renewed their previous pledge that they would vote for Trump no matter what as they had said all along. The coup attempt was an embarrassment to Lara Trump, the Trump Campaign, the RNC, and Harmeet Dhillon who wrote the false challenge. The 6 Arizona delegates received a barrage of false defamation and unfounded attacks and accusations, as did I, from all across the internet including by Michelle Moore (SheshedTruther), Mike Gill, Dan Farley, Scott McMahan, and many of the establishment and “RINOs” in Arizona and nationwide. Many questioned if the coup attempt was orchestrated from corrupt Arizona advisors to Trump, and corrupt RINOs within the RNC and Trump Campaign itself. Recent questionable endorsements from Trump in Arizona seem to support the theory that all of his Arizona advisors should be fired.
Today, James Blair the Political Director of the Donald J.Trump for President 2024 campaign, released a statement seen below withdrawing the challenges and validating that the RINO coup attempt was based on false information and the challenges completely without merit. Blair attempted to save face by complementing the challengers instead of chastising them, and falsely calling them “true MAGA patriots” which the majority of grassroots MAGA in Arizona knows not to be true. Blair went on to note “Busch’s public clearing of the air and commitment to following the campaign’s lead” that they felt it was “appropriate for the six to withdraw their challenges.” This validates the theory that the challenge came from corrupt advisors within the Trump campaign itself, fed false information by the sour grapes RINO machine in Arizona, who were allegedly seething over their crushing defeat at the State Delegate elections and were desperate to hang on to power.
It is clear that James Blair should resign from his position, as should all of Trump’s Arizona advisors. Whoever they received false advice from in Arizona should be blackballed and no longer trusted. Whatever the outcome, a hard lesson should be learned to validate claims by first checking for actual evidence, instead of trusting the lies of corrupt RINOs in Arizona.
Infamous Horse Racer and Mortgage Kingpin Mike Gill was sent to Arizona by RINOs and allegedly corrupt members of the RNC in order to attempt to setup members of the Arizona Delegation and to spread irrefutably provenly false lies and propaganda. Gill arrived in Arizona on June 1st, 2024 and held a private meeting with two delegates on June 8th, 2024. I wrote recently that text of the challenge to Arizona RNC Delegates was released and revealed a completely false Coup attempt based on lies and without any merit. Documentation, video and audio recordings have proven that the “brokered convention” narrative is completely false. Yet, by his own words, Mike Gill admits in multiple posts “You understand why now I came to Arizona. I was heading off the plan. Brokered Convention they didn’t tell you that.”
During his stay in Arizona, Gill met privately with two of the elected Arizona Delegates in an attempt to set them up. Almost immediately after the meeting, he flipped on them and began making wild accusations without any evidence. Below Gill admits to attending the meeting:
Gill then went on the Michelle Moore Sheshedtruther show twice in a few days, spreading these false lies and claiming unrelated text messages were proof of dozens of false accusations without presenting any actual related evidence. Many people tried to reach out to Gill and Moore and provide evidence that their statements were false, but Gill and Moore blocked as many as a dozen and then posted defamatory statements about those people that they could no longer respond to. This tactic of promoting hearsay and conjecture with no actual evidence, and then blocking and censoring any who offer contrary opinions or question the statements or provide evidence that proves it is a lie; is a tried and true propaganda tactic which was widely employed by the Democrats, Mainstream Media, and Social Media in exactly the same way during Covid to suppress the dangers of the Covid19 killshot or of Medical Doctors who questioned the false efficacy, safety and trial data. In that case such propaganda and suppression resulted in untold suffering and death. This is another example of dangerous suppression of Free Speech and the Truth, and completely exposes Gill and Moore and they discredit themselves.
But Who Is Michael Gill aka Mike Gill? Below We Explore His Dark, Money-Driven Past Filled with Lies, Defamation, and Animal Abuse
In the below video, Mike Gill identifies himself as the long-term owner of Mortgage Specialists in New Hampshire. In the video he states “Maybe I’m crazy, but no one is suing me.”
The problem is that later, many did sue Mike. According to the New Hampshire Business Review, in a 2019 article: “Michael Gill, owner of The Mortgage Specialists, niow owes $292 million after losing a defamation lawsuit in 2017.” The article goes on “A bankruptcy court trustee, trying to collect a $275 million judgment again Michael Gill Sr., owner of a New Hampshire mortgage company who used electronic billboards to defame three prominent Manchester businessmen, is going after his son alleging that he might be continuing his father’s business.” and “On Wednesday, the judge ordered that by the end of the week Michael Gill Jr. allow the trustee to take possession of the records of his father’s business, The Mortgage Specialists Inc., located at the three offices where Gill Jr. operates a similar business, Nextgen Mortgage Inc. Gill Jr. said he planned to move to a new office on Trafalagar Square in Nashua on Oct. 1.”
“Gill Sr. appealed the defamation judgment to the New Hampshire Supreme Court in April 2018, insisting his allegations were true and that there was a conflict of interest and fraud in the case. But on Sept. 25, 2018, the high court affirmed the ruling, saying that a lot of the evidence submitted in appeal was not presented at trial. A final judgment, issued by Superior Court in November 2018, amounted to $274.5 million plus prejudgment interest of $17.6 million, totaling $292 million.”
Oct. 27 examination
“The bankruptcy court appointed Michael S. Askenaizer as a Chapter 7 trustee on Aug. 13, 2019, after Gill Sr. refused to show up at two hearings, Askenaizer filed a request to question Gill Jr., not just to get The Mortgage Specialists records, but because Nextgen, “could be successors to the Debtor or are one and the same.””
Mike Gill and Horse Racing, Horse Cruelty and Deaths and the Jockey Strike
Gill reportedly made millions in the Mortgage industry and poured that money into the purchase of race horses. In a statement from Michael Gill Racing, in which he was refuting accusations of cheating, Gill says “I was in horse racing for 33 years…I spent $51 million dollars from 1999 to 2009 on horses.”
From Behind the Bit: “There are many accounts of this jockey ban (see Resources below), but this recent L.A Times article indicates there will be a probe into the deaths and breakdown record of this owner. There are many, many blog articles and threads on COTH and other forums on this topic too, and the buzz is, this has been a long time coming. I’ve excerpted an article below that reports not only on the breakdowns, but also reports that Gill’s ex- racehorses are routinely sent to slaughter.”
“Ten of Gill’s horses broke down and were euthanized on the track in 13 months — two last week alone (LA Times article). On January 23, Gill’s Laughing Moon broke down after the finish line, causing a jockey and horse to fall behind them (read article about Laughing Moon’s breakdown). That event apparently prompted the ban.”
It is clear that Mike Gill was an unethical owner, who’s quest for money at any cost unnecessarily resulted in many horse deaths while putting Jockey’s lives in danger. In 2010, Penn National reported“After a horse collapsed 20 yards past the finish line during the fifth race at Penn National Race Course on Saturday night, about 25 jockeys huddled and made an unprecedented decision. They declared they would no longer ride in any race that included a horse owned by Michael Gill, a New Hampshire man who’s famous in the horse racing industry for both his success and controversy. The jockeys — and several trainers, owners and outside observers — have accused Gill of dangerous, unethical tactics with his horses, producing what they say is an unusually high rate of horse injuries and deaths. Gill owns hundreds of horses, many of whom he runs at Penn National in Grantville.”
Failed Governor Race – Was it Due to Sheer Incompetence or Arrogance?
In 2016, Mike Gill tried to run as an Independent for governor of New Hampshire, but he was removed from the ballot because he was not registered to vote. WMUR ABC reported: “The Secretary of State also announced that Michael Gill of Derry is not eligible to run for governor as an independent in the November general election because he is not registered to vote, as Gardner said is required.” and “Gardner said Gill is ineligible to run for governor because he is not a registered voter in the state.” This is such an astounding ridiculous situation, one can not wonder if it resulted due to the sheer incompetence or arrogance of Gill?
False Claims and Collections of Money and Allegations of Extortion
David Snedeker, Host of “The IndoctriNATION” podcast claims in a video, “In these 12 minutes you will see that Mike Gill was NEVER offered $50 million dollars. This, and falsely claiming he lost $274 million (they only collected $1 million in the case he never even showed up for) is the foundation of his story. Watch the reactions to my weeks of research into this man and his claims.” Snedeker’s evidence is documented here.
Snedeker Video on Mike Gill:
Snedeker mentions Gill and Moore (Sheshedtruther) saying in a May 13, 2024 post“Only name calling and personal attacks have followed from those who have much invested in the continuation of Gill’s information that wasn’t even enough to get him out of the two defamation cases. Who’s invested? @SheShedTruther1 who has raised her viewership significantly in the past year by having Mike on multiple times and by Mike’s admission pays him and his hotel bill, has now joined Gill in blocking me and refuses to watch my expose of Gill in a weak attempt to discredit me.”
Snedeker claims “Aaron Day, In 2015, Aaron who was running for Senate, sought to help get Mike Gill on the ballot to run for Governor of NH as he was already running but wasn’t on the ballot. Gill could not get on the ballot because he wasn’t registered to vote. Aaron pled to the ballot commission but Mike couldn’t make the meeting because he was in court. Mike ran as a write in but did not receive enough votes to be counted. Aaron was present with Mike in NH late 2015 through 2016. Aaron was sued twice alongside Mike Gill as a conspirator to commit defamation. Aaron spent 7 years in court. Aaron’s Insurance had to pay out $2.5 million. Mike lost $1 million in real estate collected from losing the court case. Mike didn’t lose $274 million. By the time his $274 million court demand, he was over $3 million in debt. Aaron claims Mike has hired and fired 89 lawyers.”
A 2019 article claims that the three men still owed the $275 million settlement from Mike Gill are unable to collect it as “To date, their attorneys, Shaheen and Gordon, have collected about $1 million…” and of Gill “He didn’t pay his taxes, so we had to pay them in order to get the properties.”
5 Hour Audio from Victims of Mike Gill Accusations Gill is Working for FBI to Disrupt
Giovanni “Johnny” Cirucci reached out to Mike Gill when Mike was in very bad shape to help him in 2023. Johnny did 5 shows with Mike. Johnny bent over backwards for Mike, offered to
introduce him to his Congress person, offered for Mike to live with him, and he and his wife raised money for the gofundme campaign Mike set up.
Mike supposedly turned down someone who offered him $250,000. Mike moved onto Brendon O’Connell and accused Johnny and his wife of stealing money from him and accusing Mike of
being a Vatican spy.

Brendon O’Connell, 25 years online seeking truth. Spent 6 months with Mike Gill after Mike left Johnny Cirucci. He raised $40,000 for Mike. Brendon did not receive so much as a thank you
from Mike for this raise.
The other Mike Gill GoFundMe account set up in March of 2023 raised $38,683:

Johnny Cirucci “David was the first podcaster to reach out for my experience and story regarding Mike Gill.”
Brendon “I’ve never been more betrayed in my fucking life.” Brendon claims he has PTSD over
his experience with Mike Gill and claims Mike Gill is working for the corrupt deep state DC

The fentanyl bust claim. Mike claims that he was responsible for the largest Fentanyl bust in US history stating that it was an entire tractor trailer load full. There was no such thing. Google it.
See if you can find it. Below are two stories of the largest fentanyl bust in NH, nowhere near a tractor trailer and long after Mike had run from NH in 2017. Below that, the largest in US history
taking place at the Mexican border where they found 454 lbs in the floorboard of a truck loaded with cucumbers. The story Mike has sidled up next to is a pharmaceutical drug return program for proper disposal
so drugs don’t get into the water supply when disposed of incorrectly. “National Drug Take Back Day”.

This was not a bust based on Gill’s information as he claims.
Gill should be avoided and not trusted. Michelle Moore appears to be platforming him and should receive the same treatment. Mike Gill could not be reached for comment as he actively blocks me.
Text of the Challenge against the elected Arizona RNC Delegates was released (the Michael Schafer challenge specifically). The letter reveals a completely false coup attempt based on lies and without any merit or truth. Lara Trump, Harmeet Dhillon, and the RNC have been made to look like fools for entertaining this nonsense.
The below letter clearly states the false basis for the challenge as claiming the delegate Michael Schafer fails to “affirm their willingness to comply with Arizona State law (ARS 16-243) and vote for the winner of Arizona’s Presidential Preference Election on the first ballot for the Republican nomination to the office of the President of the United States.”
The below video shows the delegation unanimously voting to vote for Trump on the first and every round.
In an interview with Michael Schafer, Schafer states “The allegations are completely false and I challenge them to produce one shred of evidence that proves otherwise.” When asked about his intentions on voting for Trump, he states “I will be voting for President Trump, even if he is in a jail cell.”
As Trump won the Arizona Presidential Preference election, the basis of the challenge is NULL and VOID. This is nothing more than a RINO coup attempt and blatant defamation of character and lies which is the only tool they have.
The Delegation released a response detailed the RINO, grifter challengers:
Yvonne Cahill (lost by 623% of vote) Mick McGuire (lost by 450% of vote) Tyler Farnsworth (lost by 150% of vote) Barry Toddy (lost by 800% of vote) Valerie Turley (lost by 634% of vote) Brandon Turley (lost by 1104% of vote)
These power-mad grifters will do ANYTHING for power and money and are not to be trusted in Arizona or anywhere else.
The Delegations response below reafirms the delegations’ “unwavering support for Trump.” and “The evidence will also show that these same individuals are leaders in the MCRC that voted to endorse President Trump in January 29, 2024, even when he still had opponents.”
The letter names John Findley in the DJT campaign, and accuses “members of the RNC, Dhillon Law and these other political operatives are part of the plot to orchestrate the lie or just failed to responsibly explore knowledge before believing it…” (This brings up and interesting point as Harmeet Dhillon was recently caught in California backing a rules change that would have undermined Trump) and “Two of the additional challengers have received funding from Jim Lamon, a publicly known Never-Trumper and a former Senate Candidate who held fundraisers to support DeSantis..”
Finally, “The evidence will show that our six targeted delegates are 1000% for Donald J Trump and that this is an orchestrated effort by our political adversaries using the same vile Democrat tactics on display against our beloved President Trump.”
Along with several recent bad endorsements of RINOs in Arizona, it is clear that the Arizona advisors to Trump, The Arizona advisors in the DJT Campaign, and those close to the RNC are corrupt liar RINOs and grifters who must all be immediately fired and removed.

What Powers Does a Precinct Committeeman (PC) Have?
If a member of the House or Senate resigns or is removed, PCs of the same party as that representative in their Legislative District vote for 3 names to replace them which the Maricopa Board of Supervisors then select from to fulfill the remaining term. (Legislation should be proposed to remove the MCBOS from the process entirely) This happened multiple times in 2024 and 2023. No one else can select the three names; not voters, not the governor, only PCs! See ARS 41-1202https://www.azleg.gov/ars/41/01202.htm
PCs vote for State Delegates, who then vote for National Delegates, and the National Delegates vote for who the Republican Presidential Candidate will be. The delegates can and have chosen opposite of the popular vote in the past. In 1912, William Taft ran to become the nominee and faced the opposition of former President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt won most of the states and received more than half of the popular vote. He even defeated Taft in his home state of Ohio. However, Taft received more delegates than Roosevelt and thus was nominated during the convention. Roosevelt started a new “Progressive Party” and he and Taft split the vote, giving the win to Democrat Woodrow Wilson who only earned 42% of the popular vote. 1912 Republican Convention.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_Republican_National_Convention This is why it is so critical that true Trump supporters were elected as State Delegates which fortunately was done this year.
PCs have tremendous influence over who the candidates will be. Typically, the political elites and establishment select from their friends and allies and DICTATE who the candidates will be; immediately giving them dozens of endorsements. They COMMAND the PCs to fall in line and support, fundraise, and gather signatures and communicate to the voters for that candidate. But PCs can simply refuse this power grab and control and select a different candidate to support. When enough of the Legislative Districts and PCs support their chosen candidates, those candidates can and do win the Primary and make it to the General election ballot. Only candidates with an attitude of servant leadership who will honor their oath of office, follow the Constitution without fail, and will listen to the instruction of We The People should be supported in this way.
It is no secret that the Establishment uses red tape, rules, confusion, corrupt parliamentarians, and other tactics to silence the voice of the people. By becoming an Expert in Robert’s Rules of Order, you can take back this power and refuse to be silenced. At the bottom is a handy Quick Guide you can use and some additional information here and below:
PROXIES
Proxy Votes are NOT counted in a voice vote or rising vote as was modeled at the State Committeeman meeting. This specific question was asked and proxy votes are not counted in this type of vote.
#45:2 One Person, One Vote. It is a fundamental principle of parliamentary law that each person who is a member of a deliberative assembly is entitled to one-and only one- vote on a question.
#45:56 Absentee Voting.It is a fundamental Principle of parliamentary law that the right to vote is limited to the members of an organization who are actually present at the time the vote is taken in a regular or properly called meeting…
45:70 Proxy Voting. A proxy is a power of attorney given by one person to another to vote in his stead; the term also designates the person who holds the power of attorney. Proxy voting is not permitted in ordinary deliberative assemblies unless the laws of the state in which the society is incorporated require it, or the charter or bylaws of the organization provide for it. Ordinarily it should neither be allowed nor required, because proxy voting is incompatible with the essential characteristics of a deliberative assembly…
OBTAINING AND ASSIGNING THE FLOOR
#3:30 Before a member in an assembly can make a motion or speak in debate-the parliamentary name given to any form of discussion of the merits of a motion-he must obtain the floor, that is he must be recognized by the chair as having the exclusive rights to be heard at that time. The chair must recognize any member who seeks the floor while entitled to it.
MOTIONS WHICH ARE IN ORDER WHEN ANOTHER HAS THE FLOOR AND DO NOT REQUIRE A SECOND
t44-t45
Parliamentary Inquiry 33:3-5
Point of Order 23
Request for Information 33:6-10
OUT OF ORDER
#4:17 When a member who has legitimately obtained the floor offers a motion which is not in order, the chair may be able, in certain instances, to suggest an alternative motion which would be in order and would carry out the desired intent to the satisfaction of the maker. If the chair is obliged to rule that the motion is not in order, he says, “The chair rules that the motion is not in order because [briefly stating the reason] He must not say “You are out of order,” nor, “Your motion is out of order.” To state that a member is out of order implies that the member is guilty of a bread of decorum or other misconduct; and even in such a case, the chair does not normally address the member in the second person. If the chair rules that a motion is not in order, his decision is subject to an appeal of the judgement of the assembly.
APPEAL
#24:1 By electing a presiding officer, the assembly delegates to him the authority and duty to make necessary rulings on questions of parliamentary law. But any two members have the right to Appeal from his decision on such a question. By one member making the appeal and another seconding it, the question is taken from the chair and vested in the assembly for final decision.
In the below post, Merissa falsely claims of PBS “They didn’t give Heap the information for the debate until less than an hour before they said he needed to arrive. He could arrive 30 minutes before the debate started, but PBS refused to allow him to attend.”
There are several problems with that including that Heap put out a statement contradicting it saying: “I made a good faith effort to rearrange my schedule to attend; however, it simply wasn’t possible without disrespecting the voters who had already made plans to come and meet with me about my plans for the Recorder’s office.”
But that wasn’t true either. What was Heap really doing on June 11th? He was on the Agenda to speak at the Legislative District 3 meeting, but he didn’t attend that either. So where was Heap?
Heap was at a fundraiser with Representative Joseph Chaplik charging $250 per person and $500 per couple:
Really Heap and Hamilton, if you could try and limit yourselves to under 30 lies per day it would be really helpful.
On Tuesday, June 11, 2024, the body of the largest legislative district in the state; Legislative District 3, censured House of Representatives Matt Gress, Timothy M Dunn, and Justin Wilmeth along with Senators Shawnna Bolick and T.J. Shope. The censure passed by a large majority in a single motion with two separate pages one for the Arizona House members and one for the Arizona Senate members. It called out the legislators for voting against the Republican Party Platform and with Democrats and baby murderers saying, those “representing the Republican Party, and as such, should be aligned with the Republican Party Platform, which is; according to that platform’s stance on the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution, pertaining to protecting human life, is the Constitution’s guarantee that no one can “be deprived of life, liberty or property””. And “the Republican Party Platform deliberately echo’s the Declaration of Independence’s proclamation that “all” are “endowed by their Creator” with the inalienable right to life.”
It noted “the Republican Party Platform asserts the sanctity of human life and affirms that the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.” and“Arizona ARS § 13-1105 defines the crime of first-degree murder. This offense is committed when someone takes another person’s life by means of a premeditated and intentional act. A violation of this law is a Class 1 felony punishable by death or life imprisonment.” and “The language of ARS 13-1105 sets forth three specific ways a person can be charged with first-degree murder. A person commits this offense if: Intending or knowing that the person’s conduct will cause death, the person causes the death of another person, including an unborn child, with premeditation,”.
Finally, “THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Precinct Committeemen of Legislative District 3, censure House of Representatives, Matt Gress, Timothy M Dunn, and Justin Wilmeth for failure to uphold their Oath of Office, their total disregard of the Republican Party Platform, and deliberately defying the Constitution of the United States of America. Because of their actions, many children in the state of Arizona will NOT have the right to LIFE, as was given to Matt Gress, Timothy M Dunn, Justin Wilmeth, Shawnna Bolick and T.J. Shope.”
In a poll ran June 5th, 92.5% of the 253 respondents replied Yes, to the question “Should Merissa Hamilton immediately resign as AZGOP Member-at-Large in light of being censured for brokering a felony bribe for Jeff Dewit and violating AZGOP Bylaws publicly soliciting donations for Justin Heap while treating other Republican candidates unfairly during primary?”
It is unclear if Merissa or any of her organizations are receiving financial benefit from Heap or the Heap campaign. It is will known that Merissa and EZAZ have received financial and non financial benefits to support other candidates in the past. Merissa has continued to act as Heap’s henchman or campaign social media manager with mudslinging untrue personal attacks against Don Hiatt. At the same time she defends Justin Heap’s insults to Trump and MAGA as “out of context” when clearly the full post is shown and they are not out of context. This is a clear violation of the AZGOP bylaws as she is not treating “all Republican candidates fairly”. Membership in the AZGOP includes elected State Committeemen, elected officers such as AZGOP MAL which Merissa is, and County Chairs and 1st Vice Chairs. Those messages can be seen below:
Article IV – OFFICERS C. Method of Electing
2. The Republican Party of Arizona shall treat all Republican candidates fairly during the primary irrespective of whether the party has aided in the recruitment of such candidate or any other factor. In races without a primary election, the Republican Party of Arizona shall continue to treat all candidates fairly through the general. Notwithstanding, this paragraph does not apply to either judicial retention elections or in presidential preference elections, or potential presidential preference elections, where an incumbent Republican president is seeking re-election.
It is important to note that Precinct Committeemen are not members of the AZGOP (which has also been illegally reformed into an LLC which should be reversed) and not subject to these requirements. Were Hamilton to resign as Member at Large of the AZGOP and as a State Committeemen, she would be free to endorse, fundraise, and run Heap’s campaign without issue.
Arizona House Representative and Maricopa County Recorder Candidate Justin Heap has been caught once again in multiple lies and multiple violations of the Arizona Constitution. The video begins with a news story segment, but at 1:40 dives into the Arizona Constitution and specific issues the people have been having with Heap. Please watch the entire video. This is a pattern of behavior of an arrogant liar, violating the rights of the people on both sides: left and right. This unethical man is in complete violation of his oath of office and Constitutional duty to the People of Arizona. See the video below.
Justin Heap Violating Arizona and US Constitution and Recent US Supreme Court Ruling Against Blocking on Social Media
Heap’s @azjustinheap X/Twitter and other social media accounts are in violation of the Arizona Constitution and US Constitution First Amendment Freedom of Speech Rights. Heap’s social media is being used as a public forum where he as an elected government official is exercising his state authority in speaking. Blocking is denying the below 29 citizens their Constitutional Rights to engage in free or political speech:
The Arizona Constitution, Article II, Section 6: Freedom of Speech and Press, states “Every person may freely speak, write, and publish on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right.”Korwin v. Cotton, CV 12-0878 (Ariz. Ct. App. May 8, 2014). The Arizona Constitution Art. 2, § 6 has a “greater scope than the first amendment.”Mountain States Tel. & Tel. Co. v. Arizona Corp. Comm’n, 773 P.2d 455, 459 (Ariz. 1989). “The Arizona Constitution gives the right of speech directly to the people”. Phoenix Newspapers, Inc. v. Superior Court, 418 P.2d 594 (Ariz. 1966); Phoenix Newspapers, Inc. v. Jennings, 490 P.2d 563 (Ariz. 1971)
The United States Supreme Court ruled on March 15, 2024, that “such speech by government officials can be attributed to the state, and thus subject to First Amendment scrutiny, only if the person involved has the authority to speak on the state’s behalf and if the official purported to be exercising that authority on the social media platform. The standard set by the court Friday applies to all government officials.” The ruling upholds O’Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier in which the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the parents, the Garniers who sued the School Board Trustees under 42 U. S. C. §1983, seeking damages and declaratory and injunctive relief for the violation of their First Amendment rights, concluding that the social media pages were a public forum protected by the First Amendment”– USA Today
Justice Amy Coney Barrett: “Social accounts viewed as official communication channels allow for lawsuits when they’re used to speak on the state’s behalf.” and “Supreme Court rules public can sue officials who block, mute them on social media” – Post Millennial. In January 2019, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed a lower court ruling in Davison v. Loudoun Cty. Bd. of Supervisorsthat blocking people on social media is viewpoint discrimination in its most natural form. The Court ruled that government officials are “strictly limited” in their ability to regulate private speech in public forums—even in forums they create on social media. Similarly, Leuthy et al. v. LePage (2018), a court ruled that blocking people who disagreed with Governor LePage of Maine, constituted not only viewpoint discrimination, but government censorship as well.
Perhaps most importantly, as it involved the nation’s highest office, in July 2019 the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court decision by ruling unanimously that President Trump’s practice of blocking critics on social media violates the First Amendment. Restricting participation in social media forums such as Heap does is Unconstitutional. The vast democratic forums of the internet are essential for the exchange of views, especially political speech, which is at the core of First Amendment protections. It is crucial that members of the public remain a part of the conversation, and by doing so are protected when their views are expressed. Being denied that opportunity is significantly harmful to citizens, voters, Several Counties, Arizona, and the United States of America.
