This just in to Sonoran Alliance from camp Glassman:

Dear Friend,

As Arizona’s new immigration law goes into effect and early voting begins, I am reminded of why Arizona needs Rodney Glassman as its next U.S Senator. While I have been a staunch opponent of Arizona’s new law, there is one thing that the Governor of Arizona, the State legislature, and I all agree on: John McCain has failed the people of Arizona and our nation when it comes to passing Federal immigration reform. Rodney Glassman is the new kind of leader Arizona needs to go back to Washington, D.C. and work on behalf of all Arizonans to get things done.

Rodney is not a candidate just for Latinos, the environment, women, working families or the business community. Rodney is the next generation of Arizona leadership because he understands the best way to bring people together is to provide everyone with a seat the table. I am proud that he has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the National Education Association, the AFL-CIO Arizona, and even the Arizona Republic, Arizona’s largest newspaper. Most important, though, I would like him to be supported by you.

Please join me today in supporting Rodney’s campaign. Rodney will move Arizona and our nation forward on a path of progress — click here to donate $50, $100, all the way up to $4,800 so that Arizona will be represented by a senator who puts service of the people over service to self or a narrow special interests.

Se Puede,

Dolores Huerta

Co-Founder of United Farm Workers

P.S. The Rodney Glassman for U.S. Senate campaign is quickly gaining ground. We need your help to build an even more successful campaign.

It was with deep disappointment that I read the following letter forwarded to me from my colleagues in the  RTKBA community . 

I hope our readers will share this with United We Stand for Americans; the good patriots in the 912 Project; and the Campaign for Liberty.  Share via FB with those who have scraped their dimes and nickels together to pay Sheriff Mack’s speaking fee.   You’ve been sold out.

Konopnicki simply want a “prop” or “trophy wife” to showcase to voters that he really is a “Constitutional Conservative” and is spending mega-bucks to prove it.  But his actions speak louder than words so he needed “street cred” … and bought some.  What follows is how someone betrays his cause, his friends, and those who have trusted him.

Sheriff Mack … there is no explanation for this betrayal to a politician who only wishes to use you to get what he wants.

From: Richard Mack
Subject: my appologies, but
Date: Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Dear friends:
I have some news for you that is weighing heavy on me, but I must go with my heart and

what I feel is best. I have decided to support Bill Konopnicki for State Senate. Please allow

me to explain my decision.  I have known Bill for a very long time, perhaps 35 maybe 40 years.

He has been a good friend and a good friend of my parents.

I know Bill to be a good husband and father. Because of this relationship I’ve been struggling

with my decision as to who to support in this race. I know Sylvia is a good person, also.

Then yesterday Bill asked to meet with me in his office. He was most eager to hear more about my victory at the U S Supreme Court and how the ruling might benefit Arizona in its present litigation with the federal gov’t. He was very impressed and told me that he would make certain that the Governor and her counsel would receive this vital information. There is no question that my case, based on state sovereignty, will help us all in these trying times of federal intervention and control. Bill took it upon himself to get my info. to the Governor. He showed leadership and dedication; he took the initiative to

help and to make a difference.  Needless to say, I was moved and impressed.

On the other hand, Sylvia has not called me or asked me to help in the least.  She and I were asked to speak at an event in Globe together and she declined the invitation. Now, I think I have seen a difference and it has moved me to support Bill Konopnicki.

I am asking for your understanding and assure you that this decision has been a matter of prayer and deep contemplation. My wife and I discussed it in great detail, also.  I will always fight for freedom and try with all my might to restore the Constitution as the law of this great land.  I will never shrink from this quest.

Respectfully,

Sheriff Richard Mack  (Ret)

Dr. Paul Gosar Holds Commanding Lead in CD1 Republican Primary

New poll shows Dr. Paul Gosar at 30% in crowded field

(Prescott, AZ) Today, the Gosar for Congress campaign released a poll showing Dr. Paul Gosar holding a commanding lead in the Congressional District One Republican Primary.  In the poll, Dr. Paul Gosar receives 30% of the vote from those likely to vote in the upcoming Primary Election.

“Washington, D.C. and Ann Kirkpatrick are out of touch with the American people,” said Dr. Paul Gosar. “Our message of securing our border, opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants and stopping the out-of-control spending by the federal government is resonating with the voters of District One.”

In a head to head match-up between Dr. Paul Gosar and his seven primary opponents, Dr. Paul Gosar holds a significant lead days before early voting begins in Arizona.

Dr. Paul Gosar recently received the endorsement of Governor Sarah Palin.  Governor Palin joins a growing list of supporters that includes:  Sheriffs Joe Arpaio, Paul Babeu, and Joe Richards as well as former NRA President Bob Corbin, Arizona Right To Life, conservative radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt, Arizona Sportsmen for Wildlife and over a thousand voters from Congressional District One.

The poll was conducted by Moore Information – www.moore-info.com. To receive a complete copy of the poll or to request an interview with Dr. Paul Gosar, please contact J.P. Twist at 602-689-7647 or JP@GosarforCongress.com.

PHOENIX, AZ. July 23, 2010: Yet another of the most coveted endorsements in Republican politics has gone to Andrew Thomas. This time he has earned the endorsement of the National Rifle Association over his opponents in the Attorney General race.

Thomas received an “AQ” from their NRA on their rating system. AQ represents, “A pro-gun candidate whose rating is based solely on the candidate’s responses to the NRA-PVF Candidate Questionnaire and who does not have a voting record on Second Amendment issues,” according to the NRA website.

The NRA’s endorsement of Andrew Thomas is highly unusual for a primary race and illustrates his strong support among conservative leaders and organizations in Arizona. The NRA’s standard practice is not to endorse candidates in a Republican primary, except for incumbents with a clear record of supporting the Second Amendment. The NRA’s departure from this nationwide policy in endorsing Thomas for Attorney General is a huge coup for the Republican candidate and one that shows the depths of his grassroots support.

Earlier in the campaign, Thomas earned the endorsement of former NRA president, Bob Corbin.

As Maricopa County Attorney, Thomas championed Second Amendment rights. He filed an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller in asking the high court to recognize the constitutional right of individual citizens to keep and bear arms. Other district attorneys from across the nation joined in this brief. The Court in fact recognized the individual right to keep and bear arms for the first time in this case.

Also, Thomas was the first prosecutor in the nation to establish a concealed-carry training course for prosecutors and employees of his office. Prosecutors and employees of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office handle approximately 40,000 felony cases a year and face threats from the people they prosecute. The NRA’s publication America’s First Freedom recognized Thomas’ achievement in a feature article on the program.

The NRA’s endorsement of Thomas caps off a string of coveted endorsements he has received from the leading conservative figures and institutions active in Arizona politics. These include Sheriff Joe Arpaio, State Senator Russell Pearce (author of Senate Bill 1070), and Arizona Right to Life.

Thomas has also been endorsed by notable Arizona law enforcement leaders including Graham County Sheriff P.J. Allred, Yavapai County Sheriff Steve Waugh, Mohave County Attorney Matthew Smith, Mohave County Sheriff Tom Sheahan, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever, Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, and the Arizona Police Association. Former Arizona State Senator Jonathan Paton and Congressman Tom Tancredo also have endorsed him.

During Thomas’ time in office, crime rates plummeted. The 19 percent drop is more than twice the national rate of decline, in despite of an 11 percent increase in the county’s population during that time. The illegal immigrant population has dropped by anywhere from 18 percent (Dept. of Homeland Security estimate) to 30 percent (Center for Immigration Studies estimate). Like the fall in crime rates, this dramatic decline in illegal immigration is far greater than the average in the rest of the nation.

Thomas has a track record of successfully defending illegal immigration crackdowns in our courts, including his successful efforts to prosecute illegal immigrants for conspiring to violate the state’s human-smuggling law and to defend Prop 200′s voter ID requirements and the employer-sanctions law, which he defended along with the Attorney General’s Office.

If elected Attorney General Thomas has pledged to expand that office’s prosecutions of illegal immigrants under the state’s human smuggling laws. The office is not currently pursuing such prosecutions.

Thomas is married with four children. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School. Prior to serving as Maricopa County Attorney, Thomas served as an assistant attorney general for Arizona, deputy counsel and criminal justice policy advisor to the Governor, special assistant to the Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections, and a deputy county attorney.

To schedule an interview please contact Jason Rose. For more information about Andrew Thomas, please go to www.ThomasforArizona.com.

Has proven history as a leader

Endorsed by numerous conservative organizations

Phoenix, Arizona. July 19, 2010. The Patriot Caucus, a project of LibertyFirst PAC has announced the full endorsement of David Schweikert in the primary to defeat incumbent and liberal Democrat Congressman Harry Mitchell in Arizona’s 5th Congressional District. The caucus is a conservative-minded political action committee of tea party organizers, activists and bloggers dedicated to the ideals of the tea party movement (including lower taxes, limited government, strong national defense, strong positions on illegal immigration, energy independence and family values).

“David Schweikert has a proven history as a leader in the state legislature and as County Treasurer; and he is strong believer in securing our border against illegal immigration and that cutting taxes is fundamental in growing the economy. His long service to Arizona is hard to come by and his vast experience in both the private and public sectors proves that he is without a doubt the most qualified and capable candidate to beat incumbent Democrat Harry Mitchell,” said Keith Sipmann, Chair of the PAC. “David Schweikert has been endorsed in the past by the National Border Patrol Council, Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, Arizona Right to Life and he has received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association with an “A” rating for his solid support of Second Amendment rights. And now we are proud to join the various groups and organizations that stand behind David and his campaign.”
Supporting the right candidate in this years election could mean significant real life changes to many Arizona voters. We recognized that fact and want to help direct some of the focus into a carefully chosen slate of races that we believe we can have a significant impact in.

Sarah Palin Endorses Dr. Paul Gosar for Congress

“Paul stands firmly behind Governor Jan Brewer’s
efforts to protect Arizonans”

(Prescott, Arizona)  Today, Governor Sarah Palin endorsed Dr. Paul Gosar for Congress. Dr. Paul Gosar is running in the Republican Primary Election in Arizona’s First Congressional District.

In announcing here endorsement of Facebook, Governor Sarah Palin stated:

“I’m also proud to endorse Dr. Paul Gosar for Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. Thankfully, Paul shares our belief that the federal government’s reckless spending is putting us on a dangerous path towards insolvency – and he’s determined to do something about that. In addition to being a proud family man, Paul is a dentist, and as a small business owner running his practice, Paul understands the challenges confronting job creators when DC stifles us with endless mandates, over-regulation, plans to impose new energy taxes, and just generally (and unnecessarily) overreaches into the private sector. The good doctor knows that true job creation comes from the private sector, not government; and he will work to rein in the fed’s long arm and get our economy moving again by getting government out of the way.

Paul stands firmly behind Governor Jan Brewer’s efforts to protect Arizonans, and the rest of us for that matter, by securing the border. He’s endorsed by three of Arizona’s leading sheriffs because they know America needs Dr. Paul Gosar to hold Washington accountable on this imperative national security issue.

Paul is a bold man! He deserves our support, so please join me in helping him help this great country. You can visit his website at www.gosarforcongress.com and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.”

“I am very honored to have received the endorsement and support of Governor Sarah Palin,” said Dr. Paul Gosar. “I ask that Republican voters join her in supporting my campaign and together we will take back Congress.”

Dr. Paul Gosar is a small businessman who knows how to create and protect jobs. He is a dentist and health care provider who has garnered many awards and honors, such as the Arizona Dental Association’s “Dentist of the Year,” and was inducted into the Arizona Dental Association’s Hall of Fame.  He served as the President of both the Northern Arizona Dental Society and the Arizona Dental Association. He also served as the Vice-Chair of the ADA Council on Governmental Affairs.

Dr. Gosar is a 25 year active resident of Flagstaff where he has been married to Maude for 22 years. They have three children.

Conservative Talk Show Host, Hugh Hewitt,

Goes for Gosar

Flagstaff, AZ. July 14, 2010: The Gosar for Congress campaign is proud to announce that nationally syndicated Conservative talk show host and New York Times best-selling author Hugh Hewitt has formally endorsed Dr. Paul Gosar in his bid for the United States Congress in Arizona’s First Congressional District.

Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show is heard in more than 120 cities across the United States every weekday afternoon which has an audience estimated at more than 2 million listeners every week. Hewitt is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School, and has been teaching Constitutional Law at Chapman University Law School since it opened in 1995. Professor Hewitt has been a frequent guest on CNN, Fox News Network, and MSNBC, and has written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times. He has also received three Emmys for his work as co-host of the ground-breaking Life & Times program.  Hewitt also served for nearly six years in the Reagan Administration in a variety of posts, including Assistant Counsel in the White House and Special Assistant to two Attorneys General.

Hewitt, a national leader in Conservative politics, had this to say about his endorsement, “Washington has lost touch. Lost touch with the American people, our founding principles, and the very idea of what it means to be an American.  We have a national debt that is unsustainable, fueled by the largest expansion of government in our history. From socialized medicine, bailouts, and government takeovers, America cannot and will not last if we do not wake up.  That is why I am asking the people of Arizona’s First Congressional District  to join me in supporting Dr. Paul Gosar.  Dr. Gosar is a small businessman with the right common sense, no-nonsense attitude we need to get our country back on track.  I believe he is Arizona’s best chance of defeating the current incumbent who too often has been in lockstep with Nancy Pelosi and her leftist agenda of runaway spending and spiraling debt. Paul will bring to Washington the fight for common-sense, free enterprise reforms that focus on real job creation through lower taxes and limited government.”

“I have had the great pleasure of talking with Mr. Hewitt about the important issues facing our country,” said Dr. Gosar. “I am deeply moved that he has seen in me and my message a real chance to take America back from the brink and restore common sense to Washington. His endorsement means a great deal to me and my family.”

Dr. Gosar,  a 25 year resident of Flagstaff, father of three, sports and hunting enthusiast has been traveling all over Congressional District One for the past several months and has enjoyed meeting with supporters who share his belief that his background, and his experience in rural Arizona’s way of life, make him the GOP favorite to unseat Kirkpatrick.

Gosar has been endorsed by the American Dental Political Action Committee, Pinal County Supervisor Bryan Martyn, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Sheriff Paul Babeu, former Sheriff Joe Richards, and NRA past President Bob Corbin to name a few.  He is an Arizona’s former “Dentist of the Year”, who has practiced general dentistry in Flagstaff for more than 25 years.

Conservative Republican Picks Up Major Endorsements

JULY 12, 2010 – Prescott, AZ:  Today, Dr. Paul Gosar announced his campaign for the United States Congress has raised over $360,000 going into the August 24th Republican Primary. This fundraising total caps an exciting quarter which included Dr. Gosar receiving the endorsements of 3 of America’s toughest Sheriffs – Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Sheriff Paul Babeu and Sheriff Joe Richards.

“I am honored that so many believe in my message of securing our border, repealing Obama’s socialized medicine plan, creating jobs and finally getting our country’s spending under control,” said Dr. Paul Gosar. “I am the candidate who will beat Ann Kirkpatrick in November and I will beat her on her own home turf, the one she has failed to serve and protect from financial disaster.”

“I oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants and support SB1070.   I will fight in Congress to make sure our law enforcement officers in Arizona protecting us on the front lines of our nation’s immigration battle have the resources needed to secure our border,” said Dr. Gosar. “It’s absurd that President Obama and his Washington, D.C. lawyers are suing the law abiding citizens of Arizona.  I am outraged by this action.”

Dr. Paul Gosar as a small businessman in our Congressional District has created and protected jobs for the last 25 years. He is a dentist and a well respected health care provider who has garnered many awards and honors, such as the Arizona Dental Association’s “Dentist of the Year,” and was inducted into the Arizona Dental Association’s Hall of Fame.  He served as the President of both the Northern Arizona Dental Society and the Arizona Dental Association.

This weekend while driving around doing errands, I passed Jim Ward’s congressional campaign sign at Tatum and Shea on the SW corner.

As I was waiting at the light there was a big sticker on it that said “ANTI ESTABLISHMENT OUTSIDER”.

Then I picked up my mail on Saturday and lo and behold I received a personal letter from John Shadegg explaining his endorsement for his friend Jim Ward and how I should send money to Jim for his campaign.

Now, maybe I missed something, but do anti-establishment outsiders typically get endorsed by sitting congressmen?  Do anti-establishment outsiders get the benefit of the use of sitting congressmen’s mailing lists?

You cannot be two simultanously opposite things at the same time.

Either Jim Ward is an anti-establishment outsider.

Or Jim Ward is an establishment insider.

Whichever one he wants you to believe he is, whichever one you happen to believe he is, whichever one he, in fact is, is less relevant than the fact that he’s hucking, trying to be all things to all people at once and being none of them….

…except for a candidate being supported by establishment insiders who voted for all of the largest spending programs in history!

Jim Ward: huckster?

An unidentified fellow Hanoi Hilton POW and friend of John McCain announces his support for JD Hayworth at the Northwest Republicans meeting in Oro Valley on Thursday, July 8, 2010. One could hear a pin drop as he spoke respectfully of his friend, John McCain, but then asserted that it was time for John McCain to retire and come back to Arizona.

This endorsement also came on the heels of an endorsement by East Valley hero and legend, Larry “Lucky” Chesley.
