If Only AZ Senator Wendy Rogers Had 1/10 the Courage and Action of Matt Gaetz

If only AZ Senator Wendy Rogers had one tenth of the courage and action that US House of Representatives Member Matt Gaetz has displayed. Under Matt’s leadership, he and 7 other US House Representatives successfully ejected the do-nothing, uniparty, RINO shill Kevin McCarthy who broke many promises including failing to release publicly the January 6th recordings. Only after McCarthy was removed as Speaker of the House and replaced with a new Speaker did the J6 recordings, which had been held for three years, finally get released. Only a few hours of video into the extended release, and already the narrative of the J6 Committee seems to have collapsed and widespread calls for the release of ALL J6 Political Prisoners are being made.

This heroic feat was accomplished by 8 out of 435 voting members in the US House of Representatives; a mere 1.8%. The Arizona Senate, by comparison, has only 30 members. Coincidentally, 1.8% is 0.54 members, rounding up to only 1 Member. One sole Senator in Arizona represents greater numbers than the Heroic 8. But has Wendy Rogers put in motion the removal of do-nothing, uniparty, RINO shill Senate President Warren Petersen? No. Has Wendy investigated and subpoenaed the Maricopa County contractor Runbeck, or MCTEC employees/contractors or “leaders” responsible for the 2022 machine failures and maladministration? No.

Has Wendy Rogers kept her promises? No. In a prior pinned tweet Wendy Rogers said “Just to be clear, restoring Election Integrity on ALL levels is my #1 mission. It motivates my every effort. It is why my constituents elected me.” Her fundraising campaigns made statements about the Maricopa County administration including “That is why the state legislature MUST hold them to account. We are the only ones” and “Help me hold corrupt local officials accountable!” and “Help me hold them accountable!”

Was Maricopa County held accountable? No. Instead, Wendy Rogers is too busy fundraising and banning constituents on X. Public records indicate Wendy Rogers has raised over $3,353,575 on Election Integrity. Allegedly, very little to none of that money was spent on supporting the Arizona Audit.

Dozens of Arizona Republican voters who voted for Wendy have come forward, complaining that she has violated their First Amendment Rights by unconstitutionally blocking them on X, which has been upheld by 3 Federal Courts. In January 2019, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed a lower court ruling in Davison v. Loudoun Cty. Bd. of Supervisors that 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. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled “when state actors enter the virtual world and invoke their government status to create a forum” for expression, “the First Amendment enters with them.”

One voter Renata had this to say: “Sen. Rogers represents AZ and she just blocked me and Brian @BrianFerence1 we are her AZ constituents. We voted for her. Why she blocked us? Just for asking legitimate questions about AZ fair and transparent elections status? Or for how she made over 3 millions and then bought a house for $750,000? She was running her campaign on behalf of the AZ People who voted for her because she promised to clean up election fraud in AZ. But instead she got herself a huge house with the hangar in Chandler AZ. Previously she lived in Tempe AZ, but she was saying that she is from Flagstaff AZ. This is UNACCEPTABLE! Arizona Patriots, it is a time to hold ACCOUNTABLE all of these people, including Wendy Rogers.”

Randy Miller, PC LD28 – Questions for Wendy Rogers:

“I get emails from Wendy Rogers asking for money to fight for election integrity. I see on her last campaign finance report from 4-01-22 to 6-30-22 she took in $182,005 from individuals. She has a total of over $2,985,216.45 for this campaign. Wendy, does this include the money from your website? Support Wendy Rogers for AZ Senate. You say this: “President Trump thanked the Arizona Senate for fighting for election integrity and for moving forward with the forensic audit of our elections. Contribute now to support me in my fight to defend our elections.” Now, this leads me to believe that if I donate you are spending this money on efforts to fight corrupt elections. You’re still sending these emails asking for more money leading me to believe you are doing something. Your expenses say you spent $1,732,200.27. One expense was to PAC Management Services, LLC for “compliance”. Is it legal to use campaign funds for a PAC? I don’t think so, but please elaborate if I’m wrong. You’re advertising for election integrity, specifically for an audit that is long over. The money appears to be going into your campaign fund. Is this fraud? The webpage makes me believe my money is going to continue on these efforts, not your campaign to run for office. You have over 330 pages of individual donors which is much more than any other campaign, so it is logical to assume this is the case. Also, I see nothing in expenses that shows what you are doing to “fight” for election integrity. I would like to know what that is. Seems to me, this money should be going to help the attorneys fighting for Kari Lake and/or Abe Hamadeh. This is for all people wanting election integrity, not supporting you personally. Also, you say you travel the country, yet I don’t see any expenses for this. Who pays if your email with website says donate for this cause?”
