The BBQ is set to start at 3:30 pm and will be held at Joe’s Farm Grill in Gilbert, AZ.

Accompanied with the food will be refreshments, live music and several other local candidates.

Adams received the endorsement of Governor Palin on August 2nd and Palin’s support and energy has spread throughout the district.

I am honored to have her endorsement and am so grateful for her valuable time coming to Gilbert at this critical time in the campaign,” Adams said. “We are looking forward to thanking every individual for the help they have given over the course of this campaign and ask for their vote on Tuesday in this critical election to continue our tidal wave of momentum.”

Matt Salmon’s lobbying firm was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby for Obamacare. As an opportunist, Matt Salmon the lobbyist wanted to get his piece of the federal healthcare pie.

Matt Salmon Lobbied to Expand Obamacare

Salmon Listed as Obamacare Lobbyist on 7 Different Documents

Today, Matt Salmon revealed that he lobbied for the expansion of Obamacare.  Salmon says that his former firms were hired to “change a provision in the proposed law which would have restricted access of people with some rare form of disease from getting the appropriate drug therapy.” A really long Washington way of saying, they actually lobbied to expand the bill by expanding drug coverage.  Only a Washington lobbyist could work to make a bill larger, and then claim, with a straight face, that he didn’t support its passage.

Salmon says that he didn’t personally lobby on Obamacare.  I’m sure he wishes this were true, but unfortunately his name is listed on 7 different disclosure documents under, “name of each individual who acted as a lobbyist in this issue area.”  Washington lobbyists like Salmon can find many ways to justify such doublespeak, but Arizonans know that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck – it’s a duck.

The companies that Salmon represented were both members of PhRMA, which spent more than $150 million to secure Obamacare’s passage. The truth is, that instead of opposing the bill, Matt Salmon was paid to make sure the pharmaceutical special interests got their cut.
