Republican Turncoats (Like Bob Worsley) Help Dems Defeat Photo Radar Bill
The bill to ban photo radar and red light cameras, SB 1167, received a recorded vote yesterday, thanks to the tireless work of bill sponsor Kelli Ward (R - LD5).Unfortunately, the bill failed by a vote of 15-13, but there is still hope to revive it.Of the 15 NO votes, 4 were Republicans who, so far, haven't listened to their constituents - despite the barrage of phone calls and emails over the past several weeks.Senator Bob Worsley, Senator Adam Driggs, Senator Nancy Barto, and Senator Steve Pierce chose to bend to high-powered lobbyists from Redflex and American Traffic Solutions.Every single Democrat and these Republican turncoats voted to continue violating your rights and stealing your hard-earned money - all while putting your lives and property at risk.Senator Ward has publicly vowed this fight is not over yet.But she needs your help moving the 4 Republicans to a YES vote on SB 1167.It's critical you contact the following State Senators immediately and demand they change their vote on SB 1167.Senator Bob Worsley (R - LD 25):bworsley@azleg.gov 602-926-5760Senator Adam Driggs (R - LD 28):adriggs@azleg.gov 602-926-3016Senator Nancy Barto (R - LD 15):nbarto@azleg.gov 602-926-5766Senator Steve Pierce (R - LD 1):spierce@azleg.gov 602-926-5584There are many ways the bill could be revived in this session.In fact, another vote on SB 1167 could happen at any time while the legislature is in session, so these phone calls and emails are incredibly urgent.With their vote, Senator Bob Worsley, Senator Adam Driggs, Senator Nancy Barto, and Senator Steve Pierce told Arizona citizens they have no problem with:
- Violating the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
- Violating Arizona's Constitution by depriving you of your right to equal protection under the law.
- Scanning the license plates of every driver passing by and keeping them in a foreign-owned database (Redflex - Australia).
- Thwarting their own party platform, which calls for a ban on photo ticketing.
- Voting YES on the same scam that Rahm Emanuel refused to get rid of in Chicago.
- Putting your life and property at risk so they and their buddies can fund their campaigns through "Clean" Elections (10% of every ticket goes to this fund).
- The hazard of shortened yellow light times, which SCAMera companies like Redflex and ATS demand in order to drive up revenues. Motorists then slam on their brakes to avoid a ticket, which causes more accidents.
- Handing over law enforcement to politically connected, crony capitalist companies
- Ignoring the calls from major police organizations around the state - like MCSO, PCSO, and PLEA - demanding support for the bill and banning this scam for good.
