PR: Parker Calls on Brewer to Cancel Fundraiser

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vernon Parker Calls on Jan Brewer to Cancel Fundraiser by Planned Parenthood Board Member

DECEMBER 16, 2009. Today, Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker released the following statement.

“I am extremely concerned and troubled that Jan Brewer would hold a fundraiser in the home of someone who brags[1] about being a board member for Planned Parenthood of Arizona’s Action Fund. Planned Parenthood supports partial-birth abortion, and this is the arm of Planned Parenthood specifically designed to elect pro-abortion candidates to political office.

I have many friends and supporters who are pro-choice. They know that I am unequivocal in my belief that life begins at conception and is sacred. If this were simply the case of a pro-choice supporter hosting a fundraiser, I would not take issue with it. However, in this instance, Jan Brewer is having a fundraiser hosted by someone actively involved in the leadership of the state’s best known pro-abortion organization. That is totally unacceptable for someone who claims to be pro-life and I call on Jan Brewer to cancel this fundraiser immediately.”

Robert S. Graham Releases New Campaign Ad

Scottsdale, Ariz. (December 15th, 2009) – Over the years, Robert Graham has proven himself to be a business leader who knows how to bring jobs to the state of Arizona. With his new video campaign, he’s going to have an opportunity to tell voters all about it. On his website, www.GrahamforArizona.com, people will be able to see a new video from Mr. Graham detailing his commitment to the success of Arizona’s economy.

“I want people to be able to look me in the eyes and know I’m looking out for their best interests,” Graham said of the latest campaign video. “Arizonans deserve leaders who will fight to bring jobs to this state – leaders who will create a growing, sustainable economy for future generations.”

With a series of new videos forthcoming, Graham is looking to add a personal touch to his campaign for Governor. However, he also wants voters to know that his commitments go beyond a political calling.

“Arizona has suffered from a vacuum of leadership. I intend to change that. I am here to change the economic landscape of Arizona for the better through public office, just as I’ve done in the private sector by creating jobs through entrepreneurialism,” said Graham, continuing, “Through all of this, I intend to inspire Arizonans to rise up with me, take back control of their government, and put Arizona out front as the opportunity state.”

During the past two decades, Graham has been focused on building and running his successful investment banking consulting, and private wealth management firm, RG Capital. As a business entrepreneur, Graham has worked with and educated thousands of individuals and organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to private clients. Graham is an expert at taxation, innovation, entrepreneurialism, globalization, capital markets and tax efficiencies.

Graham’s fundamentally strong and simple platform is built on three key issues: the economy, education and secure borders. For more information on Robert S. Graham, please visit www.grahamforarizona.com.

Planned Parenthood Cronies Hosts Brewer Holiday Event

December 16, 2009 By 5 Comments

Event InvitationI was reading the comments on an earlier posts and just so happened to stumble upon a shocking discovery.

Tomorrow night, Governor Jan Brewer will be the guest of Jason and Paulina Morris at their home for a holiday event to raise money for the Governor’s campaign.

When I first saw the invitation, the name of Paulina Morris stuck out as someone who had been a threat to cultural conservatives in the past. Then I remembered that she had served on the Maricopa County Special Heath District Board.

Doing a quick search online for her name and Planned Parenthood, I recalled the following information. (I posted these in the comments of the earlier post but I think it’s important to give them front page exposure at this time.)

Paulina is an employee of the Department of Administration. Anyone can read her online bio here.

Her husband, Jason, is a member of the “Planned Parenthood of Arizona, Action Fund Board Member”. For those who do not know, this arm of Planned Parenthood specifically raises money to fund PRO-ABORTION candidates.

This appeared in the Arizona Republic on November 14, 2007

Janet’s man revving up . . . Gov. Janet Napolitano’s chief of staff and long-time right hand man Dennis Burke appears to be staging the launch of his solo career.

Speculation about Burke’s possible bid for attorney general in 2010 has been rampant for months, fueled even more by his month-long absence from the governor’s office.

It was the first vacation in many years, apparently. But it’s clear that Burke also had to take some serious thinking time about his next step as Napolitano approaches the final three years of her term.

Well, Burke was back in Arizona last week, reaching out to potential constituents from NASCAR dads to pro-choice moms.

Last week, Burke was the grand marshal at the Arizona.Travel 200 race at Phoenix International Raceway and was one of three speakers at Planned Parenthood’s Celebracion de Noche Latina on Friday (along with Paulina Vazquez Morris of the board of Maricopa County Integrated Health System and Carlos Galindo-Elvira of Valle del Sol).

Frankly, I’m fairly disappointed that the current Governor would want to do a fundraising event during the holidays with people who believe that its morally, legally and scientifically appropriate to kill unborn babies. I can only hope that they may have converted to the pro-life position and we need not worry about this event.
