Smart Girl Politics Border Clean-Up Photos

To those who still don’t believe we have a border security AND environmental problem, here are the photos to prove it. These were taken by Cactus Bill on Saturday at the border near Bisbee.

Smart Girl Politics hosted a special border clean-up in honor and memory of Rancher Rob Krentz.

As you can see the illegal aliens who cross our border leave quite a mess behind.

Clark Silver to Appear on LD-12 Senate Ballot


For Immediate Release: Sunday, April 25, 2010

(LITCHFIELD PARK, AZ) – Small-government conservative Republican Arizona State Senate challenger in Legislative District 12 Clark Silver has submitted the requisite number of nominating signatures and $5 forms to be on the August 24 primary ballot and receive public funding.  While Clark has submitted more than enough signatures to qualify for a position on the August 24th Republican Primary ballot, he will continue to visit with voters and collect additional signatures prior to the May 26th deadline.

Silver entered the race to give legislative district 12 voters a true small-government conservative choice in the Republican primary. His incumbent opponent has a more moderate voting record and has been weak on border security and illegal immigration. Clark Silver desires to give the constituents of LD-12 a reliable voice in the Senate whereas the incumbent’s most recent performance reflected missing 20% of the votes in 2009.

The incumbent has also voted to over-regulate business throughout his tenure in the House and Senate.  Clark Silver believes that placing burdensome regulations on the economy, especially in the middle of a downturn, is a recipe for a slow recovery.  He also supports reducing the business personal property tax to attract more businesses to Arizona to provide more jobs to the state’s suffering jobless.

Clark Silver is a realtor and a small businessman with an understanding of the burdens government places on businesses. He has served on a charter school board and is also running for the Agua Fria High School Board. Clark and his wife, Julie, have been married 16 years and have one daughter.

Arizona Hispanic Republicans React To SB 1070 And We View It As An Attack Against Our Civil Rights

For Immediate Release: Friday, April 23, 2010 – 1330 hours

Phoenix, AZ – Arizona Hispanic Republicans believe that it is unfortunate for Jan Brewer to support Pearce’s bill. The greatest leaders in our nation had courage, and we believe that Brewer made her decision in an effort to save her political career. Jan Brewer’s decision will mark today as the day in which Hispanic Americans will follow the footsteps of the Great Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Pearce and Brewer do not see the unintended consequences of their actions, and it appears that they were willing to make decisions that affect us at the cost of trampling on our Constitutional Rights.

We believe this party was founded by Abraham Lincoln, a man who was instrumental in doing away with evils towards people of color. We must never forget the price Abraham paid with his own life, and for that we at least owe a fight to bring this party back to our true roots. Later, the Republican Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. picked up Abe’s mantle and helped fight the injustice of racism. Republicans in that era fought to free blacks from slavery, which gave people of color freedoms and citizenship.

It is unfortunate that our own members of the Republican Party believe that we have to trample on our Constitution in order to “enforce our laws.” We believe that Pearce is easing the requirements for “probable cause” and his attempt in expanding our government. What Pearce’s bill proves is that he does not have the answer for illegal immigration within the confines of the American Constitution, and in fact he is not solving the problem by creating more problems.

We believe United States Hispanic citizens have a right to be safe in their person from illegal searches and seizures, and we believe Pearce’s efforts are violating that. SB 1070 is a direct slap in the face to Hispanic Americans who have fought and died for several American wars because this new law can be abused by authorities to pull us over with mere “reasonable suspicion”.

That said, and even though we are taking a stance against Jan Brewer and Russell Pearce’s law, we are ultimately holding President Obama accountable. Obama promised Hispanics that he would pass immigration reform within 90 days of his Presidency. Had Obama carried out his promises to Hispanics last year, the Hispanic community would not be experiencing the crisis we are experiencing right now. There has been recent criticism over our Senator John McCain because John McCain probably feels he cannot win the primary elections due to his previous stances on championing immigration reform and the consistent untrue attacks by Hayworth. It is understandable on why McCain believes he is in the fight of his life. For the record, Senator McCain has taken action in the past while Obama has not. McCain’s valuable experience contributed to Americans winning the Iraq war. The problem is this: There are more Latinos registered as Democrats in the State of Arizona that cannot vote for McCain in the primary elections and McCain wants to win. How can these hypocritical democrat leaders lay blame to the McCain when at the very least McCain has action to back his words? Why aren’t Democrat leaders holding Obama’s feet to the fire? Hispanics are more aligned with Republican values because of our social conservative values and our belief in the Creator; and if Hispanics want to make a real change to help change the face of our Party to bring it back to the Party of Abraham Lincoln, then I call upon all Latinos (Democrat and Independent) to register themselves as Republicans in order to bring it back to those roots.

Hispanic families are agonizing over this issue. Russell Pearce has not articulated a proactive approach to what will happen to American born children and their welfare as they are ripped apart from their parents. In fact, Russell Pearce believes that children born of illegal immigrants should not be declared as citizens.

Arizona Hispanic Republicans will not vote for Jan Brewer this year because we are holding her accountable for supporting a bill that violates the Constitution and our Civil Rights. I have sounded the alarm to all Republicans in this state that the passing of this bill is political suicide.

The State of Arizona already has a blemish because we were the last state of the Union to recognize Martin Luther King as an official holiday. Arizona Hispanic Republicans will write an open letter to our RNC Chair, Michael Steele, as he continues to consider where to hold our next 2011 GOP convention. We will caution our RNC Chair to consider the consequences of that because then it could be perceived as rewarding the state that implemented strong anti-Hispanic laws that has rattled our community and our Civil Rights.

Sovereign State Duty to Protect Its People

Whether you like her or not, Governor Jan Brewer did the right thing by signing Senate Bill 1070, an act strengthening Arizona’s ability to protect itself and its citizens from illegal immigrants.

 Contrary to President Obama’s socialist rhetoric that the act is misguided and would undermine the notions of fairness, the bill does exactly the opposite.  It is not discriminatory . . . except against illegal immigrants.

 What one has to acknowledge is any notion of fairness in this country was discarded when Mr. Obama stripped bondholders of their assets in General Motors and Chrysler and turned ownership over to the United Auto Workers, an organization that certainly did not earn or deserve ownership.

 The Arizona act prevents any city or county or other political subdivision from limiting enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws. The federal government is responsible for border security. However, when the federal government abdicates its responsibility to secure the borders, it is the responsibility of the State to protect its citizens.

 Once the illegal immigrant passes through the border, the illegal immigrant becomes a State issue as well as federal issue. The State of Arizona has a right, an obligation, a duty to protect its citizens, especially when the federal government refuses to do so.

 Mr. Obama now threatens the people of Arizona with his Justice Department by examining the “civil rights and other implications” of the new law. Mr. Obama would be better off to provide comprehensive border security. What about every citizens’ right to be free from harm caused by illegal immigrants?  Too bad Robert Krentz, Arizona rancher, cannot ask this question. He was murdered by an illegal immigrant who was tracked back into Mexico.

 If the federal government refuses to protect the border and attempts to limit the State’s ability to protect itself, in violation of federalism and State sovereignty, each and every border State will seriously have to consider the option of secession. The U.S. Constitution is silent on the subject, meaning the power to secede is reserved to the States or the people through the Tenth Amendment.

 

Arpaio supporting Bill Montgomery for County Attorney

A letter Sheriff Joe Arpaio sent out to his supporters

 

Arpaio Juggernaut gets behind Montgomery, reminds voters to put the recycled County Attorney in the blue trash can!

We have a very grave problem that has arisen in Maricopa County that strikes at the very heart and soul of our battle to stop the flood of illegal aliens flowing into our country every day.

The County Board of Supervisors that has done everything from cutting my budgets $1.6 million dollars to stop me from investigating illegal immigration to failing to supply life-saving equipment and patrol cars to my deputies has now betrayed the Republican Party by appointing an interim County Attorney who has openly opposed me and every program that I have worked so hard to put together.

This move is a further blatant attempt to undermine and frustrate investigations into the Supervisors own suspected wrongdoing.  The Board’s appointee has gone so far as to encourage inmates during a riot, putting my deputies in harm’s way.  He has already publicly denounced my efforts to stop the terrible impact of illegal immigration in our County and has called my efforts to enforce our laws against illegal immigration “McCarthyism.”

His name is Richard Romley.

This charlatan Republican candidate must be defeated at all costs in the Maricopa County special election for county attorney!

Romley has betrayed Republican values and openly and aggressively supported Democrat candidates for higher office.  He will do it again in this election cycle.  HE IS A TRUE “RINO” (Republican In Name Only).  When the race is important, Romley always endorses the Democrats time and time again.  Even more disturbing is the fact that Romley worked for Liberal Democrat Terry Goddard as Goddard’s Lobbyist and Special Advisor up until the week before the Board of Supervisors appointed him.  As Goddard’s Special Advisor, Romley was paid $130,000 in the last two years alone.  Who do you think Romley will be working for in this year’s Governor’s race with Goddard as the Liberal Democrat nominee?  Romley’s election to this office would be one of the biggest tragedies for the future of our state.

Thank God there is a candidate for us to stand behind and support.  A great and highly qualified candidate I refer to is Bill Montgomery.  We must help this man win the office of Maricopa County Attorney at all costs or I am out of business in the fight to secure our borders.

Let me tell you that Bill Montgomery is not only a seasoned and highly experience prosecutor with hundreds and hundreds of felony cases under his belt, he is also a West Point graduate and decorated Veteran of the first Gulf War.  He is a family man who possesses the highest honor and integrity.  He is a steadfast supporter of our fight against illegal immigration.

Bill Montgomery needs your help now.  I have pledged to him my unwavering support and he is the man that must take us to the next step in our fight.  The open-borders candidate Romley will do everything that he can to quickly dismantle all the progress that we have made to fulfill his own personal agenda and that of the Board of Supervisors.  If he does, crime will go back up in Maricopa County and impact our entire community. WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.  NOT NOW.  NOT EVER.

This will be the most urgent and necessary campaign donation that you have ever made in your life.  Bill Montgomery needs the financial support now to win this election.  Not next month, not next year.  Early voting begins in just 90 days (the primary election will be held August 24, 2010) and there is nothing more crucial than that he beat this open borders opponent.

Please send your support for Bill Montgomery today.  We need to get the word out that Montgomery is the true Republican and true conservative in this primary.

I want to thank you for your support in my efforts to lead the fight against illegal immigration in our state and nation.  This week the State of Arizona will be the home of the toughest immigration law in the country.  We cannot take any steps backward and Bill Montgomery will lead the charge in the prosecutor’s office for our efforts to fight illegal immigration in Maricopa County.

This request I am making of you is beyond urgent.  We need help for bill now.  I pledge to you that I will put all of my efforts into supporting Bill Montgomery to win the Maricopa County Attorney election.  Voting starts in just 90 days!  Please pass this message on to everyone you know.  We cannot lose this battle.  If Bill Montgomery loses, we all lose and we lose for many years to come.

Will you join me in this fight?

Your contribution today of $410 (the maximum), $300, $200, $100 or even $50 today is critical towards helping Bill Montgomery become the next Maricopa County Attorney.  I need your help now.

I have enclosed a contribution card and envelope for your use.  I cannot thank you enough for your past support and hope you will join me again this time.

Sincerely,

Sheriff Joe Arpaio
