Arizona Politics for Conservatives: Sonoran Alliance
Arizona Politics, News, Commentary and Information with a Blatantly Conservative Worldview Presented by an Alliance of Writers, Activists, Consultants and Government Insiders.
Jesse Kelly’s campaign just released the following ad on the issue of energy. In the ad, Kelly’s campaign warns Southern Arizona voters that Ron Barber’s support for President Obama’s Cap & Trade policy will cost Arizona’s an extra $1,000 in energy costs per family and cause the loss of 40,000 jobs here.
Please visit Jesse Kelly’s website to see how you can keep this seat out of the hands of extremist Democrats like Ron Barber.

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”
The booklet, which was distributed to “business colleagues” in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.
It also promotes Obama’s anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White–which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.
Obama’s biography in the booklet is as follows (image and text below):

Phoenix Police have released the following report regarding Mark Mitchell. For several weeks, Sonoran Alliance has provided a forum for one of our writers to demand that this report be made public. One would expect the police investigation to lead to charges being filed. Here is that report.
It’s only Tuesday morning, and already, Ron Barber’s campaign isn’t having a good week.
Barber started Monday on the defensive, trying to hide his support for ObamaCare, which cuts $500 billion from Medicare.
Fact: Ron Barber still refuses to support the repeal of this government takeover of healthcare.
Next, Barber shunned a group of high school students who had organized a local debate, forcing them to cancel. Hours after the news broke, his campaign rushed out a laughable, late-night press release to play damage control.
Fact: Ron Barber still refuses to take questions from local high school government students.
National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Daniel Scarpinato had this to say about Ron Barber’s defensive moves: “Positions on the issues matter in this race. If Ron Barber won’t take questions from local high school students, how does he expect to represent southern Arizonans in Congress?”
This week Ron Barber continued to try to deceive voters about his views on Medicare. Fact is, Barber refuses to support the repeal of ObamaCare, which cuts $500 billion from Medicare and empowers a panel of government bureaucrats to make decisions about seniors’ health care. Since the government healthcare takeover is paid for in part by nearly $200 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage programs, seniors currently on these plans could find their benefits at risk.
In Arizona, more than 342,000 seniors are enrolled in Medicare Advantage, a program that ObamaCare guts to fund the government takeover of healthcare supported by Barber.
Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what former Arizona Daily Star political reporter and now spokesperson for the NRCC says about Ron Barber:
“Ron Barber’s policies put seniors at risk. He refuses to support the repeal of ObamaCare, which is the only way to stop Obama and Pelosi’s cuts to Medicare. No wonder Pelosi and Raul ‘Boycott’ Grijalva are backing Barber’s campaign.”
Sonoran Alliance intercepted the following email message from Arizona State Representative Daniel Patterson to his Democrat colleagues:
Colleagues — The allegations against me are lies. I have not been arrested, charged, served or invoked immunity.
It seems I am being blackmailed by a person with bad mental health problems and a violent criminal history I only recently realized the severity of. When I asked this person to please consider moving out of my house, to protect my daughter, she went in to [sic] a rage. She attacked me, but I never hit her.
The truth will come out. You should not rush to judgment, please.
Members, I ask you please to call me to discuss my side of the story, the truth.
Then there is this little tidbit from The Yellow Sheet Report:
ETHICS COMPLAINT ‘POLITICALLY MOTIVATED’
Patterson also struck back at his caucus for calling for his resignation and filing an ethics complaint – moves that Patterson said were politically motivated. “Sometimes, they have a lynch mob mentality in politics. People want to elevate themselves by throwing someone else under the bus,” he said. Although he said on multiple occasions that he doesn’t hold anything against his colleagues and that he likes and respects Campbell and Hobbs, he said that he suspects they are trying to bolster their own political image at his expense. Campbell’s call for him to step down, he said, was driven by the fact that he was “one of the more independent members of the Democratic caucus, and some of the Democratic Party bosses in Phoenix don’t like that. Maybe they’re hoping to replace me with a yes-man who will toe the party line.” Hobbs, meanwhile, was seeking a cause to build her Senate campaign around: “Katie has always been a crusader on these types of issues. Maybe this is something she thinks will help her in her Senate campaign.” But, ultimately, he said, he works for his constituents, not his party leaders. Patterson attended the floor session today, but was only present to record his attendance. During the multiple COW calendars, he was not on the floor, but he returned for the third reading of bills.
Congratulations to CD-8 Congressional candidate Jesse Kelly for his recent appearance on Sean Hannity’s show.
Watch as Arizona Democrat lawmaker, State Rep Linda Lopez, lies to the media about a piece of legislation, HB 2625, and then calls Republicans members of the Taliban.
Let’s remember that Linda Lopez has been a longtime advocate and sponsor or legislation that would force doctors to euthanize patients.
Contact State Rep Lopez and demand that she apologize for her statement.
Also demand that Linda Lopez attend mandatory remedial training at the University of Arizona’s National Institute for Civil Discourse.
Paradise Valley Councilman Vernon Parker discusses President Obama’s “accomplishments” with Phoenix’s TV-15.
Parker is scheduled to make his announcement for Arizona’s 9th congressional district on Wednesday at noon at ASU.
The left has decided to wage a war on conservatives and people of conscience by using a bill at the Arizona Legislature that distracts and misinforms. In case you get accosted by one of these leftist zombies, ask them one simple question: “Have you read the bill?”
And in case you haven’t read the bill, here is the current version of the bill:
196 days ago, Sonoran Alliance called for the Arizona State House Ethics Committee to conduct an investigation on the behavior of LD-29 State Representative Daniel Patterson. That hearing will finally take place next Tuesday – exactly 200 days from our initial call. (Read Agenda)
Not knowing who finally conceded to this request for the investigation, this blog expresses its appreciation to that person for finally allowing these hearings to take place.
Where this will lead, is still to be determined but we believe that an indictment is likely to ensue by law enforcement authorities any day.
The frustration in all of this should be obvious. Everyone was quick to jump on Republican State Senator Scott Bundgaard over an incident that took place alongside State Route 51 last February, but no one dared raise the same complaint (except this blog and The Three Sonorans) over State Representative Daniel Patterson.
There was a blatant double standard.
Next Tuesday, Daniel Patterson will finally be in the hot seat and if Republicans want to be intellectually consistent in their practice of governance, they will need to prove to Arizona that justice is not only blind but that it’s courageous.
Here’s the text from an email that made the rounds among Democrats. Pima County Democrat Chairman Jeff Rogers authored the email which addresses the domestic violence problem with State Representative Daniel Patterson.

-X-, I would truly appreciate it if you would not engage in any negative statements about Daniel. We already have a “safe” Dem seat in play in LD 28 because of Ted Downing’s move. We can’t afford to have another “safe” seat in play. This is not a primary. We most hold the seats we already have – especially since we have a legitimate chanced to pick up a Senate seat in 26 & 30 and a house seat in 30.
So, even if you have strong opinions about this and a strong friendship with his soon to be ex-wife, please don’t stir this up any more than it already has been.
Thank you.
For months, Sonoran Alliance has demanded ethics hearings into the behavior of Southern Arizona Democrat State Representative Daniel Patterson.
For months, no one in the Legislature has had the guts to hold hearings.
Last week, Democrats finally accepted the reality that Daniel Patterson is dangerous to their party and began calling for his resignation.
This may be a first for Sonoran Alliance and Democrats to agree on.
But it may be too late for Daniel Patterson.
Insider sources have revealed that Daniel Patterson will be indicted this week (probably Thursday) on several charges including domestic violence.
So again, we DEMAND that Daniel Patterson resign from the legislature and prepare to face the impending criminal legal case building against him.
Time’s up for Daniel Patterson and perhaps the courts will finally punish him and force him to own up to his anger problem.
