     Tucson activist and blogger Daniel Patterson agrees with State Senator Karen Johnson that Real ID might not be such a good idea. In a KTAR news story Napolitano is quoted as saying the opposition to Real ID is “ideologically driven.” She is right about that but the problem for the governor is that it is from both sides of the ideological spectrum.

Conspiracy alert: What if Bush’s failure to enforce the border was to create conditions to implement a national ID card so the government can track our every more? “We need to know who is here and what they are up to.” I bet they do.

ELOY, ARIZONA. DECEMBER 14, 2007. The political roster for Decades Music Theme Park is starting to look like a greatest hits album.

Former GOP Senate President Brenda Burns and well- known Phoenix business leader Ronnie Lopez are the latest to join the $800 million dollar project’s lobbying team.

Burns, a conservative Republican, served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 1987-1995, where she became the first woman Majority Leader. She also served in the Arizona State Senate from 1995-2003 and was elected by her peers as Arizona’s first female Senate President.

Lopez is a highly regarded advocate and represents some of the country’s largest corporations. He has served as Governor Bruce Babbitt’s Chief of Staff, President & CEO of Chicanos Por La Causa and as Chairman of Phil Gordon’s successful Phoenix Mayoral campaigns.

Last week, Decades announced the hiring of Fred Duval and Becky Hill. Duval spent seven years in the Clinton Administration and currently serves on the Arizona Board of Regents. Hill served as Governor Janet Napolitano’s Education Policy Advisor until 2005. She now has her own consulting company.

Burns, Lopez, Duval and Hill join DeMenna & Associates, Rose & Allyn Public Relations and the Rose Law Group advocating for the project. Firm founders Kevin Demenna, Jason Rose and Jordan Rose are well known for their active involvement and success within GOP circles.

Decades Music Theme Park is a proposed 300-acre, $800 million project east of Interstate Ten in Eloy, Arizona. The $500 million Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is under construction and scheduled to open in May, 2008.
