In our mail last week, we received a few flyers instructing us for whom we should vote for Republican precinct committeemen in Golden Eagle precinct.
Upon close inspection, we noticed the source of the mailing, Arizona Grassroots Action. The return address is in Phoenix but, being curious about all the publicity for the volunteer position of precinct committeeman, we did a little digging. What did we find?
Arizona Grassroots Action is a political action committee (PAC) based in Alexandria, Va. Its two biggest donors in 2014 ($100,000 each) are from Colorado and California.

So, why is a PAC in Virginia, with big donations from people in Colorado and California, interested in little-old Golden Eagle precinct in Fountain Hills?
Something isn’t right about this picture and something doesn’t seem right about the candidates who go along with it. Something’s fishy.
Our votes are being cast for candidates whom we know and trust, candidates who don’t rely on support from out-of-state PACs for a local unpaid position, candidates who went door-to-door in the heat to ask for your vote, candidates who actively work for true conservative principles: defending our border, opposing amnesty, repealing and replacing Obamacare, supporting private sector jobs, stopping runaway spending, and actually sticking to what’s in the Constitution for a change.
Our votes will go for Richard and Judith Rutkowski, and the candidates who are included on that list. We encourage you to do the same.
