Abortion
I removed the comment about Brewers abortion ruling being unconstitutional. There's been no ruling on this, and until there is that kind of statement is just an opinion. Lawnboy1977 (talk) 23:52, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Redacted Gay Rights Legislation?
The article says she redacted gay rights legislation put in place by the former Secretary of State. Brewer is the former Secretary of State, so are we saying she redacted her own legislation? Also, what does "redacting" legislation mean? Generally speaking, only the Legislature can "redact" (repeal) legislation. The accuracy of this section of the article is in doubt.John Paul Parks (talk) 14:58, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
ahh, you're right. I meant to say former governor. Sorry about that. fixed 14:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.109.156.229 (talk)
I corrected the statement that the governor "put forward" any legislation for LGBT citizens and clarified her current position on the domestic partner benefits. Please do not remove the LGBT section as it delineates a topic of interest to some.68.109.156.229 (talk) 00:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Healthcare Section
Thank you to whoever cleaned up the healthcare section; it reads more neutral and fact-driven now. Thx ZP 68.109.156.229 (talk) 20:20, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
LGBT Issues
According to the Arizona Republic and the Arizona Daily Star, it costs the state $3 million to cover domestic partners and $625 million for other employees and their dependents.[14]
This seems like a justification for stripping away rights from people. It doesn't belong in the article. It should at least be re-worded. 75.221.198.163 (talk) 22:04, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
- The cost is relevant, whether that cost is worth taking away rights is up to the reader.
- Also note it's my opinion that gay marriage is a right, it's not everyones opinion and it doesn't have to be a universal truth, one could say reproduction capable marriage has more worth as it furthers the species and thus could deserves more validation without being undeniably wrong and evil and thus worthy of censorship, which Wikipedia does not do by the way. 72.208.6.122 (talk) 02:53, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know any info about her education? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.190.49.4 (talk) 01:06, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
Brewer Picture
The picture that was uploaded on the page was really low quality so I removed it for the time being. Any alternatives that are clearer and don't have copyright issues? Boromir123 (talk) 02:14, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- A low quality image is better than none at all. Please do not remove photos unless you have a better one yourself to upload. 68.2.137.33 (talk) 18:35, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Is there an un-airbrushed photo that can be used? She does not look remotely like that.
- Attention: DO NOT delete or paste over photos that have been uploaded by others. My photo is completely copyright free and has been pasted over numerous times. Novice wikipedians stop messing with the image!24.251.210.22 (talk)
- Copyright claims on the new image are unfounded; I took the image with my cell phone camera and am uploading it for free license.68.2.137.33 (talk) 19:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
"Dr." John Brewer - truth about career in Arizona
For many years, "Dr." John Brewer, husband of the new Republican governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, practiced general medicine in Arizona as a naturopathic physician. In addition to his medical practice, in which he prescribed medications, he also served as the Executive Director of the Arizona Naturopathic Board for which he received $50,000 annually.
In June of 2000 the Arizona Attorney General's Office audited the Arizona naturopathic board and found numerous irregularities, and illegalities including the illegal prescription of drugs. See: http://www.azauditor.gov/Reports/State_Agencies/Agencies/Naturopathic
> Physicians, Board of Medical
> Examiners/Performance/00-9/00-9.pdf
In 2001 it was determined that "Dr." Brewer and a number of other chiropractors in Arizona had forged their naturopathic diplomas. (See Fehr-Snyder K. Naturopathic board director on leave. Arizona Republic, May 11, 2001. Naturopathic Board votes to vote to fire chief: Allegations tied to credentials, paper shredding. Arizona Republic, May 12, 2001.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by RealNaturopath (talk • contribs) 22:30, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

"Dr." John Brewer
Conveniently, the link to the Arizona Auditor does not go anywhere. Could be because Jan Brewer is the Governor and the Auditor works for her. Also, conveniently, the archives for Az Rep only go back to Dec 31, 2001 and this happened May 11 and 12, 2001. I have a fax copy of the articles someone sent back when it happened. Guess I'll write the naturopathic board for the info because she can't believe that she can become a national figure and the truth about her husband's fraudulent practice of naturopathic medicine not come out on a national basis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RealNaturopath (talk • contribs) 22:45, 13 May 2010 (UTC) Azcentral.com (have to pay to get articles but the truth is out there!) 1.
