Raul Grijalva Votes to Continue Funding ACORN

September 18, 2009 By 21 Comments

Only one congressman from Arizona voted to continue sending your tax dollars to ACORN. Remember ACORN? That’s President Obama’s favorite liberal organization - the group where he received all his “community organizer” experience. They’re the same organization whose employees were systematically caught suggesting, if not encouraging, tax evasion, fraud, child prostitution, slave trade, human trafficking and a whole lot of other illegal activities.

In case you missed it, the US House voted to cut off funding of the organization by a vote of 375-75.

This is great news for American taxpayers and those who respect the law!

Unfortunately, the good citizens of Congressional District 7 have a congressman who voted against the defunding of ACORN. That’s right, the absurdly and outrageously liberal Raul Grijalva voted to continue sending YOUR tax dollars to this corrupt organization!

The good news is that Raul Grijalva’s days in Congress are numbered! In less than 411 days, the voters will have the opportunity to elect a true taxpayer advocate and patriot. Her name is Ruth McClung and she will be taking back the district from all the liberal special interest groups who installed Grijalva to the CD-7 seat.

Ruth needs your help though. Please take a moment to visit her website (www.Ruth4AZ.com) and sign up as a volunteer and most importantly, make a contribution to her campaign.

With your help, Ruth will boot the liberal ACORN-loving Raul Grijalva out of office in 2010 and return the district to the hard-working citizens who deserve much better.

MSM Ignores the Word Islam or Muslim on 9/11??

September 18, 2009 By 1 Comment

Lets examine the collective memory of the recent 9/11 remembrance which occurred last Friday.

Does anyone remember, or can cite, or cite the link to, any mention among the major broadcast television networks or major publications like Time or Newsweek, use of the following words:  Muslim, islamofascist, radical Muslim extremist, radical Islamists, jihad, jihadis or anything like it in describing the radical Muslim extremist attacks on western civilization on Sep. 11, 2001.

What about coverage of the annual celebrations on the Arab Street of the events of 9/11?  Janet Napolitano has a new phrase for what happened on 9/11 is “man-caused” disasters.  That is of course and unless, you are a Veteran, Christian, Conservative, Home Schooler, or Hunter.  Then of course, you are “domestic terrorists” and are a threat to the Homeland.

These are the people responsible for 9/11

Advisory Group to O’Connor House Meets to Examine Government Reform Options
for Arizona’s Second Century

PHOENIX, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ — At the meeting today with statewide
business, community and political leaders, U.S. Supreme Court Justice
(retired) Sandra Day O’Connor and her Advisory Group to the O’Connor House
continued to engage Arizona’s leaders in “civil talk” to identify key
governmental reform options to recommend for Arizona’s Second Century.
As the recommendations are developed, the options will represent
the consensus of this statewide effort on how government should and
could be structured in Arizona’s Second Century.

Justice O’Connor and the O’Connor House Advisory Group organized the
initial meeting of statewide leaders in May, 2009. At that meeting,
over 70 participants, from across the political spectrum, considered
dozens of proposals that could impact government in Arizona’s Second
Century. A computer voting system was used to ask whether Arizona
“should” pursue various reforms and to identify and rank proposals as
to their importance and the difficulty in effecting each CHANGE.

As the package of reforms continues to be developed, Justice O’Connor and
the O’Connor House will continue to guide participants in reaching
consensus on the reforms to be pursued. As the “civil talk” leads to
“civic action,” the next step will be to identify supporters who will move
each issue forward. Throughout the process, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor
and the resources of the O’Connor House will be available to facilitate the
discussion, reach agreement and encourage action.

“The O’Connor House seeks to renew the awareness and knowledge about how to
work together, in a civil manner, to resolve the big issues facing us,”
said Justice O’Connor. “We all have one thing in common – the desire to
see Arizona’s future be stronger and better.”
