I urge everyone, especially those from Arizona, to contact the AZ Legislators and urge them to override the veto of HB2177. I will post their email addresses below, the first group being the Republicans (in case you only want to contact them) and the second group being the Democrats. I just contacted all 90 legislators urging them to override the veto.

I forgot to mention the fact that Gov. Brewer herself admitted on national television that the Legistlature has the votes to override her veto--but perhaps that should be pointed out to them as well.
(For those who need help)
By cutting these email addresses as a group, then pasting in the "to" section of your email, you can do this entire exercise in less than a couple minutes.
To cut, merely depress and hold down the left mouse key while passing the cursor over the section you want to copy after you've done that, then depress and hold the "Alt" key and letter C together, one time. Then open your email, place the cursor in the "to" section where you normally address an email, depress " Alt" key and the letter V together, one time to paste .
All of these email addresses will be copied for you. Repeat the exercise to do the same with the letter portion.
I included " Override Gov Brewer's Veto of HB2177 " in the subject line. This may be the only part of your message that gets read anyway.

Here is what I wrote:
SAMPLE LETTER:
Dear Legislators,
As a US Citizen and a long-time resident of the state of Arizona, I am outraged that Gov. Jan Brewer has defied the will of the people of Arizona (and the rest of America) and it's elected representatives and has vetoed HB2177 which passed with a veto-proof 2/3 vote of both the House and the Senate. The Governor says "one person" should not have power over the ballot--well she has just single-handedly vetoed a 2/3 vote of the Legislature and the will of those of us who voted you into office. I don't understand how she can veto a veto-proof vote!
I urgently urge all of you to please override this veto immediately and put HB2177 into law. This is simply a common-sense law which is long overdue and should have always been on the books. This should not even be a partisan issue, let alone a "controversial" bill. What is the point of having requirements for various offices, if candidates do not have to prove they meet those requirements?? To NOT pass this law is to make a mockery of the Constitution and law itself.
Sincerely,
An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
