    logo_leagueofwomenvotersSedona AZ (March 26, 2019) – Are the Increasing Number of Independent Voters a National Trend that Could Tip the Scales in Elections?

    Did you know that Independent voters have nearly the same number of registered voters as Republicans in Arizona yet voter turnout is typically lower than for partisan voters, Democrats or Republicans?

    What are the reasons for the lower voter turnout among Independent voters? Do all voters and candidates play by the same set of rules? Does Arizona need electoral reform initiatives to bring a greater number of Independent voters to the polling booth?

    Join the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley Voter’s Education program, Monday, April 15, 2019, 12:30PM-2:00PM at Yavapai College, Room 34, 4215 Arts Village Drive, Sedona in a lively discussion on these and other voting matters. The program is in partnership with OLLI and is free and open to the public.

    Our guest speaker, Art Babbott, is one of just three Independents holding elected office in the state of Arizona. He has 15 years of experience as an elected official in city and county governments, currently serving as a Coconino County District 1 Supervisor.

    Babbott is a small business owner, operating the Flagstaff Community Markets for the last 19 years.  He was also a managing partner in the company which renovated, owned, and operated Flagstaff’s historic Orpheum Theater, Norther Arizona’s private sector performing arts venue.

    The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization dedicated to public service in the field of government.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
