MEMO STATEMENT

MY PROMISE OF HONESTY AND INTEGRITY - I will tell the truth, keep my promises and restore financial stability without placing the burden or blame on the taxpayers. I will take full responsibility for my actions and share decision making on any actions with my partners / MY PEOPLE!

I am most described as an "Alpha Woman". In my own mind, there is not much I can not do if I either have a manual, instructions or can read about it on the web.  I am not the type of person who can sit around and do nothing. Especially if there is a chance I can make a difference. 

Therefore, I am Officially an Independent WRITE-IN Candidate for AZ State Senate for Legislative  District 1. 


I am unbiased with regards to political party affiliation. I believe there is good and bad within both parties. My political affiliation lies with the people! My family, friends, neighbors and community.

 I run for them!

If you live in Legislative District 1 or know someone who does- make sure they WRITE the name  TERI FROST in on their ballot this November 4th. 

Thank You for all your support and I look forward to representing you as your humble public servant.

TRANSPARENCY  HIDING BEHIND DIRTY SECRETS

I support “Truth in Spending” legislation that would require the Governor and Legislature to notify the public via news release whenever they propose a state budget that would increase state spending faster than the projected rate of increase of Arizona’s economy, as projected by the Economic Estimates Commission.
  • Transparency & Responsibility of Elected Officials - Explore every option to reduce expenditures, increase revenue and insist on true transparency while holding every elected official accountable for their actions.

I want to make it mandatory that all elected official be held accountable and required to answer to the people with respect to the decisions made on their behalf.  The "no comment", joking it off as they walk away, or answering question with another question can no longer be accepted. We need to show them that their conduct will no longer be tolerated and demand harsh actions if they continue. Its NO MORE, NO LESS than they constantly demand of us. THEY WORK FOR US! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! Its about time they remember that.

OBAMACARE:  The President and his allies in Congress have said that the health care debate is over, although thats what they said from day one. What they really meant was it was over as far as we are concerned because we'd never get a say in it. He did the same thing when it was proven he is not qualified to be our President, because obtained the office by lying and committing Fraud against the people- So how do you think this fraudulent President and his allies in Congress responded when questioned about the fake birth certificate and of his social security number belonging to a dead person? They said: That was along time ago, we're past that. Lets move on. 

Face is: There millions of Americans who continue to suffer from ObamaCare's harmful impact.  I stand with Americans for Prosperity in telling Lawmakers that it's time to repeal ObamaCare.

CLOSE and PROTECT OUR BORDERS- Aside from the apparent problem with Illegal Aliens coming over; the fact that we have completely open borders, that TB, Lice, Scabies and now an infestation of bed bugs in Arizona so bad that Doctors and Hospitals have to place signs in their offices advising of the epidemic; criminals, and aside from the 50 members caught crossing the border, ISIS is now here. We need to vote as a people to stand against the Federal Government, and form a Militia to protect ourselves. No one has the right to take or threaten our life or liberty.

"LEGAL" IMMIGRATION:  (SUPPORT) -  A reform Legalizing Citizenship of immigrants who have respectfully followed our laws, who have contributed while here just as we do, who have stayed out of trouble, and who have proven American Citizenship to be their honest intent. 

"ILLEGAL" ALIENS: (OPPOSE) - The definition of the very word that starts this paragraph is all that should be needed. They are here ILLEGALLY! By passing the legal system others who deserve to be made Citizens followed. At the very moment they enter our Country under this description, they have already committed a Federal Crime; and therefore clearly shows a lack of respect for our laws, our people, and our Country. If they want to come over as those in the above group did...LEGALLY, then I am in 100% support of them being here and welcome them.

CUT OVERSPENDING:
Our state legislature has an addiction to overspending, and everybody knows it. It’s time to get some real spending accountability from our lawmakers. We need your help to make sure our elected officials know that we support making tough decisions on spending cuts to get our fiscal house in order. 

ATTRACT NEW JOBS: 
 Be proactive in bringing new business to Arizona. I will continue to push for the reinstatement of tax credits for big money Hollywood films to be made in Arizona, creating jobs for cast, crew, construction, catering, cars and drivers, wardrobe, hair & makeup, film locations, city licensing and permit receivables, hotels, restaurants, rental car companies, electricians and much more. This is just one example of ways we can create jobs.

FIGHT BIG GOVERNMENT: The only effective way to control power is to do it as our Founders did- by separating it. The result will be overlapping authority, power shifting to different institutions over time,, and often compromised policy. But, that is why the Founders only gave the National Government a limited number of things to do. It worked reasonably until progressivism centralized power in Washington and ended up tying national policy in red tape. Today, the nation’s top public administration professor, Paul Light of New York University, concludes its suffocating bureaucratization does not allow the Feds to faithfully execute its laws.

Abstract claims of unconstitutionality, confiscatory taxes, destructive policy, fiscal or moral bankruptcy, excessive bureaucracy and the rest, cannot be solved simply by claiming rights. Only politics can make change. The progressive plan seems to have tied itself in knots but a modern alternative committed to the original idea of a limited national government and returning powers to the states and people are still inchoate. But a new Senate and president could change things dramatically, utilizing the real Constitution in the way its Founders intended it and expected it to work.

SUPPORTING THE 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO BEAR ARMS:
I know as a firm believer, that gun restriction laws should be on criminal misuse, not law-abiding citizens. I will fight to protect the 2nd amendment and our rights to purchase, own, possess, and carry firearms without unnecessary laws or regulations.



TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY OF ELECTED OFFICIALS:
Explore every option to reduce expenditures, increase revenue and insist on true transparency while holding every elected official accountable for their actions.

ABOLISHING INCOME TAX FOR  INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATES IN AZ:
According to The Economic Impact of Eliminating the Income Tax in Arizona
By Debra Roubik, Chief Economist Vision Econ;
By the year 2016, eliminating the income tax would lead to a 42 percent increase in personal income above what may be expected under the present system. By that same year, 606,400 more jobs would be created. More importantly, more jobs would be created in sectors with annual wages that are higher than the statewide average. By increasing this proportion of high-paying jobs, Arizona’s economy would be liberated from the stranglehold that low-paying service and retail jobs currently possess.

The tables included in this report illustrate that more jobs—and better-paying jobs—will lead to more revenue being collected through the sales tax. It estimates that, after the phase-in period, the annual net loss in revenue over the next 16 years would average 20 percent from a status quo baseline (which, of course, is expected to grow anyway.) Net revenue never experiences a year-to-year decline.


SUPPORT 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO BEAR ARMS:  I Support 2nd Amendment Rights to bear arms - As a firm believer that gun restriction laws should be on criminal misuse, not law-abiding citizens. I will fight to protect the 2nd amendment and our rights to purchase, own, possess, and carry firearms without unnecessary laws or regulations.

As your elected official, I stand for with you. Its time to let the Lawmakers know I support making tough decisions on spending cuts to get our fiscal house in order.



REPEAL OBAMACARE: The President and his allies in Congress have said that the health care debate is over, but millions of Americans continue to suffer from ObamaCare's harmful impact. I stand with Americans for Prosperity in telling Lawmakers that it's time to repeal ObamaCare.


DARK MONEY OUT OF POLITICS:

Teri chose to run without any corporate Campaign funding in hopes to prove her point. Its about empowering poor and disenfranchised voters — people whose voices often go unheard amid the flood of wealthy political action groups that are exacting ever-growing influence over American Politics.

       These organizations are aided in part by the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision Citizens United v. FEC, which loosened restrictions that had long prohibited corporations from spending large sums money to impact elections. She argues that the influence of big money in politics drowns out the concerns of regular Americans.

        "Money doesn't convey truth. Everyone should be able to use their voice. Everybody should be able to come to the floor. Dark money lines the pockets of a Lawmaker so that he will rent them the floor. Thing is, the Lawmakers do not own the floor, never have. The people own the floor. These Lawmakers are renting out the floor you own, pocketing all the money he made on your floor as payment to push the dark money criminals agendas through. Agendas obviously pushed to make them tons of money so they can do it all over again. You not only failed to see any benefit in the rental of your floor, they just pasted a bill that makes it illegal for people to own floors, giving ownership rights over all floors to the corporations using words like "continuity" and "sustainability" used to line pockets so to push their agendas, making them money. But you can't buy the table — sorry, it’s wrong.”

These are excerpts from the "Nuns on a Bus" Group traveling across America to advocate society support to eliminate dark money from politics.

• Campbell also noted that she and several groups of nuns plan on personally seeking out unlikely voters during the tour, knocking on doors and joining up with local organizations that work to boost turnout within impoverished communities. She said the goal was to advocate for a society that supports “the 100 percent,” and that she was originally inspired to take to the road after she saw a poll earlier this year reporting that the majority of Americans weren't even aware of the midterm elections in November.

• “So many people are so depressed and beaten down by the our society,” Campbell said. “Our [materials] are in English and Spanish. We want to make those who feel most depressed, most isolated, most pushed out … Feel needed in our society.”

• The bus tour does not endorse one specific political party, but it does appear to be targeted towards activating voters in states with close Senate races — especially those that are being influenced by massive influxes of outside money, such as Louisiana, Colorado, North Carolina, and Iowa. Simone specifically criticized the role the Koch brothers have played in Iowa’s Senate battle, where the two conservative billionaires have used a combination of personal donations and political organizations such as Americans for Prosperity to spend around $7 million in support of Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst. Unlike her opponent Bruce Braley — who has proposed raising Iowa’s minimum wage to $10.10 an hour — Ernst has endorsed a shockingly low $7.25 minimum wage for the state and has been accused of opposing a federal minimum wage.

•       “Here in Iowa…One of the candidates wants to raise the minimum wage. The other thinks the minimum wage should be done away with altogether,” Campbell said, referencing Ernst. “These choices are important.”

•        Campbell and her fellow nuns are part of a long history of Catholics advocating for social justice within the United States. Their particular concern for the impoverished, for instance, is an ancient Christian belief that has seen something of a resurgence in recent years, aided in part by the rise of Pope Francis, who has made caring for the poor a central element of his papacy. Francis, the nuns, and many other Catholics are guided by Catholic Social Teaching, which insists on a preferential “option for the poor” as expressed in Matthew 25:45, where Jesus declares, “whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.”

•         In fact, this isn’t the first time Campbell and NETWORK have sought to advocate for “the least of these” — the new bus tour is actually their third cross-country romp in as many years. The original “Nuns On The Bus” outing occurred in 2012, when Campbell traveled to nine states across the Midwest to raise awareness about income inequality and blast then-Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) budget plan because it threatened to slash social programs that help the poor. NETWORK went on to launch another bus trip to help galvanize support for immigration reform in 2013, and Campbell’s star has only continued to rise: since the first tour, Simone has delivered an address during prime time at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, testified before Congress on the need to protect government programs such as Head Start, and published a book entitled “A Nun on the Bus: How All of Us Can Create Hope, Change, and Community.”

• But as the influence of NETWORK and Campbell has grown, so too has criticism of their actions — primarily from within the Catholic church. Nuns are actually more popular than bishops or priests in the United States, and their activism played a key role in helping pass the Affordable Care Act in 2010, which the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops publicly opposed. But their advocacy has rubbed many in the Catholic hierarchy the wrong way: Campbell and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), a group that represents most U.S. sisters, were put under investigation by the Vatican in 2012 for supposedly spending to much time on social justice work and not enough time defending church doctrine on abortion and homosexuality. There was some hope that Pope Francis would call off the inquiry when he ascended to the papacy last year, but he reaffirmed the investigation in April 2013.

• Still, Campbell insists that the new bus tour is bigger than Catholicism. The dangers of money in politics, she argues, should be understood by all Americans, not just Catholics or other people of faith.

• “I do this because of faith, but we don’t all have to do it because of that,” Campbell said. “We do it because of the Constitution.”
