Dear Readers,
Jeff Smith has issued the following statement regarding
Judge Susan Bolton’s decision on SB 1070:
“I am extremely disappointed by Judge Bolton’s decision. This has all the appearances of an activist judge allowing a personal bias to influence what should be an impartial decision.
I support SB 1070 for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that sanctuary city policies put our police in the impossible position of not being allowed to fulfill their oath to uphold the constitution and enforce the law. SB 1070 removes this restriction, and removes the conflict inherent in sanctuary city policies.
The judge’s argument seems to be that since there is some chance a legal person could be incorrectly suspected of being illegal, the police must be prohibited from inquiring in all cases, even if they have reasonable suspicion. This is an impossibly high standard that we don’t hold the police to when it comes to any other crime. All of us live every day with some amount of risk, however small, that the police will make a mistake and we will be incorrectly suspected of having committed a crime. And yet, we still allow - even expect - the police to pursue and investigate if they have reasonable suspicion that someone has committed a crime. If the police were held to the same standard of certainty regarding other crimes that the judge is holding them to with regards to this law, our police would almost never be able to pursue any suspect!
I am pleased to see our governor appealing the decision and anxiously await the outcome of the actual court case. Regardless of what happens, I expect this case to be appealed to the 9th circuit, and ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court. I believe we have the legal high ground and that the law will ultimately be upheld. Furthermore, this case is important because it is about more than just eliminating sanctuary city policies in Arizona - it is about fundamental states’ rights. It’s about time a state stood up to the Federal Government!”

Contrast that brilliant response to Jeff Flakes' remarks on SB 1070. Flake said that SB 1070 was dumb.
Seriously, when I read Flake's comments about SB 1070, I sense Flake's entrenched Washington D.C. ego coming through. Flake thinks that a puny little state like Arizona has no chance against the strong arm of the federal government. In the case of U.S. v AZ, Flake is clearly on U.S.'s side.
I also find it interesting that Flake wants the current Congress and White House to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The current Congress is so liberal and backward that they passed Obamacare. I wouldn't trust any immigration reform bill that came out of this Congress. I think it would be better to wait until after Obama is gone. On second thought, maybe we don't need to create any new federal immigration laws. Maybe we should just enforce the ones we already have.
Probably the most telling information about Jeff Flake's views on illegal immigration is the fact that in 2007, Flake co-sponsored an amnesty bill with pretty much the most liberal liberal of all the liberal liberals, Luis Guitierrez. Now, in case you don't know, Luis is the fine gentlemen who got himself arrested at a pro-illegal-immigration rally recently. I ask you, do we really want to keep Jeff Flake around, if he's in cahoots with a Congressman who touts his teenage-like arrest as a badge of honor? Getting arrested might beef up his street-cred, and I'm sure it appeals to Guitierrez's youthful Chicago base, who are fond of "stickin' it to the man," but to the level-headed voters of Arizona's East Valley, Gutierrez's behavior was childish and unbecoming of a statesman. I don't know about you, but I wouldnt feel comfortable co-sponsoring anything with Luis Guitierrez, not even a bill that everyone could agree on, like a Resoultion Promulgating the Goodness of Ice-Cream.
Voters of Congressional District 6 (Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Apache Junction, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, etc.) should keep in mind that Sherrif Joe Arpaio and state Senator Russell Pearce, two of the guys actually fighting the good fight against illegal immigration, have chosen to give their weighty endorsements to Jeff Smith rather than to Jeff Flake.
Vote for Jeff Smith on August 24th!
Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

"House Bill 2013" and "SB1070"
0 = Arizona
2 = USA/ Our Constitution/ We the People of the United States
We are a country that is ruled by the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, not by the majority of the day. When you do not know the principles in these documents, therein lays the problem in losing when you are challenged in court.
This month of July 2010, our U.S. Federal courts have found the so called State of Arizona hate filled legislation namely "House Bill 2013" and "SB1070" Un-constitution (So much for the intellect of Jan Brewer, "Did you read the bills you signed?"). But we all know that they will go crying to the Supreme Court of the United States, please, please, please go. We will fight you in Arizona, any other state, and yes in Washington DC. We will not tire, we will not be silent and we will persevere, I promise you.
In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme of clans; the Baggers, Birthers and Blowhards (people who love to push their beliefs and hate on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that's who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win in November. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, "We Ain't Coming Out".
It's all about politics: Jan Brewer you were never elected to be Governor, but you have no problem trying to get elected on the back of undocumented workers, you loser (sure you may win but the long-term effects to your so called State is just beginning). Here is a partial list of your hate filled legislation;
1. S.B. 1070,
2. House Bill 2013
3. No permit conceal weapons law,
4. The famous Birthers law,
5. Banning Ethnic studies law,
6. Could she be behind the Mural in Prescott, Arizona, ordered to be whiten,
7. On deck to pass, no citizenship to babies born to undocumented workers,
8. If she can read she should look up Arizona's House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which was un-constitution and failed when legally challenged),
9. The boycotted Martin Luther King Day, what idiots don't want another holiday? Yes, you guessed it Arizona.
Well Arizona, you can keep boycotting new holidays, passing hate filled legislation and the rest of our country will continue to challenge you in court of law and Boycott your so-called state.
Lets face it, no one can real believe anything that comes out of Brewer's mouth, in an interview, this year, in an attempt to gain sympathy, she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (which ended 1945) but of course we find out the truth that father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955. But we are suppose to believe everything else she says, right!
As they say in the World Cup: Gooooooooal!
