Regarding the latest lawsuit filed by "No on 200" to keep the votes from being counted on Prop 200, and related news articles, we have no idea what has happened or what is really going on here. We do know this:

We have no idea what happened to the petitions (with initiatives attached) after we turned them in to the Secretary of State on July 1 or the ensuing 3 months and 3 weeks subsequently.

We were not told about our opponents' unilateral review of the initiatives (which had been removed from the backs of the petitions), much less allowed any observers. When candidates undergo a recount, they are allowed observers. Why weren't we allowed observers? Now, we are expected to just accept our opponents' unilateral review of these documents, especially when our opponents have already been in the gutter with smear campaigns, ads based on scare tactics and lies, and name calling?

Our petitions were filed 3 months and 3 weeks ago, and our opponents have had multiple attorneys spend countless hours in document review all this time. Why did they just discover/create this problem less than 2 weeks before the election? Then our three most powerful and vocal enemies “ Janet Napolitano, John McCain, and Grant Woods “ stand up at a press conference screaming "fraud," followed by the filing of nearly 40 pages of documents in a lawsuit against us in Maricopa County Superior Court 2 hours later.

Despite months of pleas to FAIR to turn the petitions they gathered purportedly on our behalf over to us so that we could check them, FAIR refused to turn them over until the last minute. So, over 80% of the petitions we turned in to the Secretary of State's office on July 1were not turned over to us, despite a court order, until June 29, June 30, and 20 minutes before we left to file them with the Secretary of State on July 1. We were never given a chance to check FAIR's petitions.

"Yes on 200" was quoted in the newspapers as saying they got all their petitions "from Kathy McKee." Let me assure you, FAIR did not get a single petition from me. See #6 below.

Our former treasurer “ 10 days after he was "fired" " wrote a check (with evidence that it was actually written later than that and back-dated) for $2,961 for copies of petitions for FAIR. (Can you even imagine our former treasurer taking almost $3,000 out of our last $5,000 to buy copies of petitions/initiatives for FAIR?) Since PAN was paying $420 for 5,000 sets of petitions with initiatives, how many tens of thousands of petitions/initiatives did he buy for FAIR with PAN's money? They certainly never got those petitions/initiatives from me. If they are innocent in this set-up, why would they tell a reporter the lie in #5 above?

Our former treasurer admitted under oath (in the hearing of the lawsuit he filed against me trying to prevent his firing) that for "several, several weeks" he had turned in to FAIR petitions/signatures he had paid for with PAN checks (can you imagine that?), as well as petitions our county chairmen and other volunteers had mailed/turned in for several, several weeks. These are part of the same petitions we could not pry loose from FAIR just to validate. Why do you think FAIR refused to turn all those petitions over to us just so we could check them? Why wouldn't they have wanted us to check them?

We also have documentation showing this same former treasurer ordered and had initiatives printed unilaterally from even another source.

This is the third lawsuit filed to try to disenfranchise 2-1/2 million Arizona voters. While this potentially could all be a giant accident, the circumstances above sound a lot more like a set-up (we just haven't figured out by whom), harassment, methods to their madness, self-serving and sinister agendas, and a chapter right out of "Brave New World." With stakes so high, the election so close, and opponents high and low, near and far, pulling every low punch they can, we may never find out what's really happened. We can assure you there was no fraud on PAN's part -- which you already know, but this may be a moot point if we don't raise the money for an attorney TODAY.
