Meet Your Candidates Series: Chris Mitchum – May 5 | Justin Fareed – May 8

” I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.”
– Thomas Jefferson, 1820

Easter Message

“I still can’t help wondering how we can explain away what to me is the greatest miracle of all and which is recorded in history. No one denies there was such a man, that he lived and that he was put to death by crucifixion. Where … is the miracle I spoke of? Well consider this and let your imagination translate the story into our own time — possibly to your own home town. A young man whose father is a carpenter grows up working in his father’s shop. One day he puts down his tools and walks out of his father’s shop. He starts preaching on street corners and in the nearby countryside, walking from place to place, preaching all the while, even though he is not an ordained minister. He never gets farther than an area perhaps 100 miles wide at the most. He does this for three years. Then he is arrested, tried and convicted. There is no court of appeal, so he is executed at age 33 along with two common thieves. Those in charge of his execution roll dice to see who gets his clothing — the only possessions he has. His family cannot afford a burial place for him so he is interred in a borrowed tomb. End of story? No, this uneducated, property-less young man has, for 2,000 years, had a greater effect on the world than all the rulers, kings, emperors; all the conquerors, generals and admirals, all the scholars, scientists and philosophers who have ever lived — all of them put together. How do we explain that — unless He really was what He said He was?”

– President Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Common Core is seriously deficient as a standard for our children. It represents a common set of standards for everyone. It’s a set of standards that is insufficient for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), satisfies only the bare essentials for low-level college admissions, and is overly strict on career path students. And, in the video noted below, overwhelms students and parents with complexity. While the video pokes fun at CC, the overall effect is serious. Please join us for this critical discussion of Common Core.

Sandra S. Froman Bio

[one_third]sandra-s-froman[/one_third]

[two_third_last]Sandra S. (“Sandy”) Froman is an attorney in Tucson, Arizona whose practice includes business, contract and employment litigation, as well as mediation and arbitration. She is recognized in the national publication Best Lawyers in America and was recently voted “Best Lawyer of the Year for Employment Law – Management” in Tucson, Arizona. Froman received her undergraduate degree in economics with honors from Stanford University and her juris doctor degree from Harvard Law School.[/two_third_last]

A member of the National Rifle Association Board of Directors since 1992, Froman served for seven years as a vice president and two years as president after which she was unanimously elected to the NRA Executive Council for life. Froman is only the second woman elected as president since the NRA was founded in 1871. She has represented the NRA internationally at the United Nations, the International Trade Fair for Hunting and Sporting Arms (IWA), the World Forum on the Future of the Shooting Sports (WFFSA), and the Swiss Federal Shooting Festival.

A longtime member of the Federalist Society, an organization of conservative and libertarian attorneys who value individual rights and the rule of law, Froman speaks to college and law school students about the Constitution and Bill of Rights, so that future lawyers and judges understand that the state exists to preserve freedom. Froman produced America’s first law school Second Amendment Symposium at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law and she co-founded the National Firearms Law Seminar, which trains attorneys on legal and policy issues relating to the Second Amendment, firearms, hunting and conservation.

An NRA-certified instructor, Froman promotes firearms education, safety and marksmanship training, especially for women and youth, and she played a key role in developing NRA’s Refuse to Be a Victim Program. An avid hunter, she piloted the hunting component of NRA’s Women on Target program and has hunted numerous species in ten states and on three continents.

Froman is Chairman of the Board of the Joe Foss Institute (www.joefoss.com), an educational non-profit foundation established by WWII flying ace, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient and former NRA President General Joe Foss and his wife Didi to inspire the youth of America to patriotic public service. The Institute’s legacy program “Veterans Inspiring Patriotism” brings veterans into classrooms around the country to teach freedom, patriotism, integrity, service and character, and an appreciation of America’s founding documents. Every classroom visited receives an American flag and display copies of the Bill of Rights and U.S. Constitution.

Froman has been active in state and national politics for decades. She has been instrumental in passage of Arizona’s significant pro-gun laws, including Right to Carry and Firearms Preemption. Froman is a recipient of the Sybil Ludington Freedom Award for legislative and legal contributions that have impacted the preservation of the shooting sports.

As an attorney, Froman promotes the selection of judges who favor a textualist approach to the Constitution and federal statutes. Froman chaired the United States Magistrate Judge Merit Selection Panel for the District of Arizona and served on Senator John McCain’s Federal Judicial Selection Advisory Committee to nominate judges for appointment by President George W. Bush to the Federal District Court bench. Froman has provided testimony to Congress on constitutional law issues and in 2008, she testified before the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate in opposition to the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor based on her Second Amendment record.

Froman is an NRA Benefactor Life Member, a member of the Ring of Freedom, a member of the Heritage Society and on the Executive Committee of the Women’s Leadership Forum. Froman is also a trustee and former president of The NRA Foundation, NRA’s charitable affiliate, and a former trustee of the NRA’s Civil Rights Defense Fund, which supports precedent-setting legal cases involving the Second Amendment. She is a life member of Safari Club International and numerous state firearms associations. Upon the untimely death of her husband, Bruce Nelson, a career law enforcement officer, she sponsored the National Firearms Museum’s permanent law enforcement exhibit entitled Long Arm of the Law.

A native of San Francisco, Froman grew up in a “gun-free” home, received her undergraduate degree in economics with honors from Stanford University and her juris doctor degree from Harvard Law School. She has been a partner at prominent law firms in California and Arizona, and was a full-time law professor at Santa Clara University Law School for two years. She serves on advisory boards of the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law in Tucson, Arizona and the George Mason University Law School in Fairfax, Virginia.

Froman’s national television appearances include Good Morning America, ABC World News Tonight, MSNBC, Fox and Friends and CNN 360. She has written and been featured in countless newspaper and magazine articles including a positive story about private firearms ownership that appeared on the front page of The New York Times.
