When Arizona Mormon Congressman Jeff Flake was first elected in 2000, he pledged to serve no more than three terms in Congress, leaving no later than January of the year 2007. But, in early 2005, shortly after being elected a third time, Flake announced that he changed his mind and would run again. He is quoted at the time as saying, "It was a mistake to limit my own terms". Regardless, ever since Congressman Flake was  elected, has been trying to normalize US relations with Fidel Castro and Cuba.

Chevie Kehoe was raised in Deep Lake, Washington, which is deep in the heart of radical Mormon “Christian Identity” country. The area encompassing the heart of Mormon “Christian Identity” separatism includes Deep Lake and Metaline Falls, Washington in the west, Bountiful and Creston, British Columbia in the north and Hayden Lake, Idaho in the south.

The proposed merger of two Mormon towns that are adjacent to each other in northern Arizona has become quite acrimonious. Taylor, Arizona was founded in January 1878 by John Kartchner and 8-Mormon families who came from Utah. And, the neighboring town of Snowflake was founded in September of 1878 by William Flake's party, which also arrived in northern Arizona from Utah. Flake named his new town in honor of himself and the famous Mormon apostle Erastus Snow.
