Can’t put it any other way.
Ignore her. What can she do about it? Make her and her ruling irrelevant in Arizona.
Its about time to tell the fed where to go. People 3,000 miles away making decisions for us?
This judge just set up the Obama / Mexico lawsuit; a lawsuit with no standing in any Arizona court.
This is Arizona. Love it or leave it.
Governor Brewer, tell the judge to take a hike and use an Executive Order to put the law in place. We’ll support you!
If you support persons here illegally, then please move with them to New Mexico or California and leave Arizona. 460,000 illegal aliens is 459,999 more than we care to support.
The undocumented individual I know worked at over $18/hr taking a job away from a legal citizen and received a federal tax refund of over $4,200 last year – did you?

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. He was Chair of the Arizona Dental Association’s Council on Government Affairs and the Vice-Chair of the American Dental Association’s Council on Government Affairs.
Dr. Gosar is a 25 year active resident of Flagstaff and married to Maude for 22 years and they have been blessed with three children.

Montgomery Calls for Return to Enforcement of Employer Sanctions Law and for Romley to Cancel FundraiserAmnesty proponents, opponents of enforcement flock to Romley; Romley putting welcome mat out for illegal aliensPhoenix, AZ – “I am calling for Rick Romley to cancel his planned fundraiser scheduled for this evening and return to enforcing all of our laws against illegal immigration, particularly our award winning Legal Arizona Worker’s Act Enforcement Program,” stated Bill Montgomery, Conservative Republican candidate for Maricopa County Attorney. “Romley’s efforts to raise money from known opponents to Arizona’s Employer Sanctions law and efforts to fight the impact of illegal immigration on the heels of stating he will no longer cooperate in holding businesses accountable that intentionally or knowingly hire illegal aliens undermines the rule of law and raises the specter of impropriety,” Montgomery added. Bill Montgomery joined Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and State Representative John Kavanagh yesterday at a news conference at the State House Lawn at the Capitol at 3:00pm. Maricopa County Attorney candidate Bill Montgomery called on Rick Romley to return any and all donations to his campaign that raise the specter of impropriety. Specifically, money raised from fundraisers hosted by opponents of Senate Bill 1070, opponents of employer sanctions, and people who just don’t believe in doing ANYTHING to enforce laws against illegal immigration. “From his opposition to SB 1070 to his decision to end enforcement against employers who hire illegal aliens and people who violate our state’s human smuggling law, Romley is clearly rolling the welcome mat out for illegal aliens with his own countywide amnesty plan,” said Bill Montgomery. The next scheduled fundraiser is at the home of former Phoenix Mayor Skip Rimsza, the man who gave us the taxpayer-funded Bell Road Day Labor Center in Phoenix that was designed to facilitate the hiring of illegal aliens. (“A DAY-LABOR SOLUTION OUR STAND: PHOENIX CENTER IS WORTH IT”, The Arizona Republic, 12/27/03). Public outrage led Janet Napolitano to sign a bill outlawing public funding of these facilities for illegal aliens in 2005. (“Money woes for day-labor center”, The Arizona Republic, 7/22/09). In addition to Rimsza, the following people are involved in hosting the fundraiser: * Jason LeVecke-chairman of anti-SB 1070, anti-employer sanctions group Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform ( http://azcapitoltimes.com/blog/2009/10/12/employer-sanctions-coming-up-short/, http://www.azeir.org/about.asp); lead group Wake Up Arizona! that tried unsuccessfully to gut Arizona’s employer sanctions law (http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/LaurieRoberts/29756, http://www.phoenixmag.com/lifestyle/200711/face-off/) * Marion “Mac” Magruder-lead and bankrolled groups Wake Up Arizona! and Stop Illegal Hiring that tried unsuccessfully to gut Arizona’s employer sanctions law (http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/LaurieRoberts/29756); bankrolled Mesa Deserves Better (SOS records, $5,000, 8/4/08) and said that racism and hatred was behind the employer sanctions law (http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/LaurieRoberts/3698/sort_A/Offset20) * Sandra Magruder-bankrolled Mesa Deserves Better (SOS records, $5,000, 8/4/08) * Ray Arvizu-outspoken opponent of employer sanctions law-(http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/PoliticalInsider/3662) * Barry Goldwater Jr.-outspoken opponent of employer sanctions law-(http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/PoliticalInsider/3662) * Gibson McKay-lobbyist for Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform, a pro-amnesty, anti-SB 1070 group (Secretary of State records) * Carl LeVecke-bankrolled anti-Russell Pearce smear campaign by secretive political committee called Mesa Deserves Better (SOS records, $1,500, 8/12/08) * Neisha LeVecke-bankrolled anti-Russell Pearce smear campaign by secretive political committee called Mesa Deserves Better (SOS records, $1,500, 8/12/08) * Margaret LeVecke-bankrolled anti-Russell Pearce smear campaign by secretive political committee called Mesa Deserves Better (SOS records, $1,000, 8/12/08) In addition, on May 13, other staunch opponents of enforcement of laws against illegal immigration hosted a fundraiser for Rick Romley: * Julie Pace- (http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/local/57356.php, http://azimmigrantrights.org/2007-07-17%20wake%20up%20arizona.htm) * David Selden- (http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/PoliticalInsider/10938) “It’s clear these people aren’t hanging out with Romley and cutting him big checks because they enjoy his company,” said Montgomery. “Romley’s acceptance of money donated or raised by this group of individuals after sounding retreat on the fight against illegal immigration in Maricopa County creates, at a minimum, the appearance of impropriety. It suggests that prosecution policies are bought and paid for by special interests who want to be able to hire illegal aliens without fear of legal consequences and who oppose all efforts to fight illegal immigration. These are not the actions of someone wanting to ‘restore the integrity of the office.’” Montgomery called on Romley to reverse his previous decisions to effectively implement amnesty in Maricopa County in favor of tough enforcement against illegal immigration. “Romley has turned his back on the public, which clearly favors stronger enforcement against illegal immigration, and instead is siding with opponents of the rule of law,” added Montgomery. Bill Montgomery is the only conservative Republican running for Maricopa County Attorney in this August’s primary election. He is a dogged prosecutor, tireless victims’ rights advocate and former Deputy County Attorney, who oversaw a dramatic drop in auto thefts while serving as Bureau Chief for the Auto Theft Bureau. Bill Montgomery is running for Maricopa County Attorney for all the right reasons. He is committed to enforcing all the laws of Maricopa County, including SB 1070, which is supported by 70% of Arizonans and a similar percentage of Americans across the nation. “It’s an important tool, in conjunction with our Employer Sanctions and Human Smuggling laws, to deal with the pressing issue of illegal immigration where national and local leaders will not lead, have proven incapable of following, and need to get out of our way. I am confident that in partnership with law enforcement officers throughout the Valley, we can do this in a way which respects the Constitution and our American values”, Montgomery says. Bill Montgomery’s bid to become our next County Attorney continues to rack up impressive, high-profile endorsements. In addition to his new campaign co-chairs, his campaign has garnered support from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association (PLEA), the Arizona Police Association (APA) and U.S. Representative Trent Franks, all joining the chorus of calls for a true Conservative Republican for County Attorney.

Flagstaff, AZ. June 24, 2010: On June 18, 2010, in response to headlines reporting that the U.S. Department of Justice under the directions of President Obama will sue the state of Arizona over SB 1070, Dr. Paul Gosar, CD1 republican primary frontrunner, issued a challenge to President Obama and Representative Kirkpatrick to “Secure our border, don’t sue Arizona” and specifically to Kirkpatrick, “I call on you to stand with me and with Sheriff Babeu, Sheriff Arpaio, former Coconino County Sheriff Joe Richards and with the vast majority of Arizonans and denounce this administration’s challenge to SB 1070.”
Just three days later, Kirkpatrick’s office issued the following statement in a June 21st, 2010 press release, “I am calling on the President and the Attorney General,” said Kirkpatrick, “to abandon preparations for a lawsuit against Arizona, and to recommit to finding a national solution to fixing this national problem.”
In the very same statement, Kirkpatrick says, “I oppose SB 1070….” However, she does not want the Obama Administration to sue the state of Arizona. Instead, she seeks to use the publicity of a state and national crisis to promote herself and her liberal political ambitions. She attempts to protect the state of Arizona while being openly against a law overwhelmingly supported by her constituents.
Dr. Gosar had the following response to Kirkpatrick’s statement, “I am glad that Rep. Kirkpatrick has decided to follow my lead and join the thousands of Arizonans already denouncing the administration’s intent to sue our state. Whether it was my statement calling on her to act last Friday or the press conference I held with Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and State Representative Frank Pratt in front of her office in Casa Grande early Monday morning, I am glad that my challenges to her have been answered. Unfortunately her response looks to be nothing more than another failed attempt by this liberal Democrat to move herself closer to the center. District 1 deserves true leadership, not election year platitudes.”
Dr. Gosar, who has consistently outraised every other Republican candidate in the primary election, continues to gain momentum for his tough stance on illegal immigration and restoring common sense, no-nonsense solutions back to Washington. He has earned the endorsements of: Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, former Coconino County Sheriff Joe Richards, former AZ Attorney General & NRA President Bob Corbin, Pinal County Supervisor Bryan Martyn and many others.
Dr. Gosar, a 25 year resident of Flagstaff, father of three, sports and hunting enthusiast has been traveling all over Arizona’s First Congressional District for the nearly a year now and has enjoyed meeting with supporters who share his belief that his background, and his expertise in rural Arizona’s way of life, make him the GOP favorite to unseat liberal incumbent Ann Kirkpatrick. Dr. Gosar has practiced dentistry in Flagstaff for 25 years and is Arizona’s former “Dentist of the Year.”

The Horne Amnesty Plan
In a February 17, 2007 article, the East Valley Tribune feature titled “Arizona taxpayers spend up to $1.2 billion annually to educate children of illegal immigrants”, Horne is on record with a plan of his own for granting amnesty and citizenships to illegal immigrants who graduate high school and take a test. A portion of the Tribune article discussed Horne’s plan:
Horne has a plan that would reward high school graduates with citizenship. All they would have to do is pass a test.
“If there’s a standardized test that confirms it, that the student does well and learned, I would have no objection to that,” Horne said.
But Rodriguez said Horne’s proposal would create an incentive for immigrants to break the law while there are other people waiting in line to become citizens.
“They’re doing it the right way,” Rodriguez said. “Why should these people step in the front of the line and break another rule?”
The bottom line, Horne said, is that illegal immigration is the parents’ fault – not the children’s fault.
“Let’s fight the Supreme Court again,” Rodriguez said. “And let’s see what happens.” The article can still be read on the Tribune’s website here: http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/article_42d1e9c7-6997-5863-930f-4af0c650d70f.html
At a June 18, 2009 meeting of the Pachyderm Coalition, Horne told the group that he was opposed to overturning Plyler vs. Doe and stated that, “I am a proponent of education for illegal immigrant children,” and, “I would not let kids stay uneducated.”
Also, in 2009, Horne opposed legislation that would have Arizona schools ask students whether they were in the country legally. This legislation would not have stopped giving tuition-free education to illegal immigrant students. However, it would have set up a legal challenge to 1982 Supreme Court ruling Plyler vs. Doe. This ruling said that all children have a constitutional right to a free, taxpayer-funded public education, even when those children are living in the United States illegally. Since 1982, the court has become more conservative, and many legal analysts believe that today’s court might rule differently on the issue were the court presented with a similar case.
An article by Howard Fischer that appeared in the Arizona Daily Star article on April 28, 2009 (seehttp://azstarnet.com/news/local/education/precollegiate/article_513c62d6-3675-5680-9b49-d7e801b0c57b.html ) quoted Tom Horne opposing this bill. Interestingly, Horne was aligning himself with Terry Goddard vs. Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio, as both Brewer and Arpaio supported the bill. A portion of the Arizona Daily Star article:“…a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decisionappears to make it illegal for school officials to ask. In a 5-4 decision, the justices overturned a Texas law that authorized school districts to refuse to enroll anyone who couldn’t prove legal residence.
But Dupnik said it may be time for Arizona to have a test case to put the issue back before the high court — to see if the current justices agree.
Dupnik has the backing of Yuma County Sheriff Ralph Ogden and Joe Arpaio, his Maricopa County counterpart. And Gov. Jan Brewer said she sees no reason why youngsters shouldn’t be asked to prove they are U.S. citizens or legal residents.
“When I grew up, when I went to school, when I moved from Nevada to California, I had to bring my birth certificate to prove I was a citizen,” she said.
But Attorney General Terry Goddard said he doesn’t think schools have the expertise to determine legal status. And state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne said he believes the federal government should just do a better job of protecting the border.
“But as long as kids are here, they should be in school,” he said. “You don’t want them on the street corner.”

Reviewing the file on who has been a stronger advocate for border security, Congressman JD Hayworth stands head and shoulders above John McCain. For those of you who may have been persuaded by McCain’s political makeover, here is the trailer of a movie put out by Citizens United in 2006. The film, Border War, was awarded Best Feature Film of 2006 at the Liberty Film Festival and was voted Best Documentary of 2006 by American Film Renaissance. Congressman JD Hayworth was featured as the public policy authority in the film.
Sun 16 May 2010
In the above video, Eve Nunez, candidate for LD 12 Senate, is characterized as opposing SB 1070. She claims she’s against illegal immigration and that she believes in securing the border. Then she says at 4:22, “[w]e need to treat the immigrants that are here humanely.” She also says that Leviticus 19:33-34 directs that, “[w]e should treat immigrants as we treat our own.”
A point of semantics, but an important point none the less: “Immigrants” are here legally and if an individual is in the U.S. illegally, they are an “illegal alien.” If one believed in deconstruction, the subtext of Ms. Nunez’s quotes is that she believes illegal aliens are legal immigrants. Do the quotes above sound like statements from someone who believes in secured borders and stopping the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S.?
I don’t see how, under SB 1070, law enforcement officers are being inhumane by asking if someone is here illegally if they have no ID AFTER the individual has been stopped for some unrelated offense.
The Left has criticized the U.S. for sending mixed messages, for claiming it wants to stop the flow of illegal, yet it offers benefits at taxpayer expense to illegal aliens. By asserting that the U.S. should coddle illegal aliens, Ms. Nunez is sending those mixed signals. One could conclude that Ms. Nunez’s quotes are exactly what the Left wants to hear: that the mixed signals will continue and the flow of illegal aliens will continue unabated. One could conclude that Ms. Nunez is actually sympathetic to the Left’s hopes.
Ms. Nunez tries to use the Bible to shame citizens into not supporting the enforcement of immigration laws. I ask Ms. Nunez and illegal aliens, “What would Jesus Christ do?” Would Jesus break the laws of a neighboring country and enter illegally? Would Jesus pay a criminal a large sum of money to smuggle him into a foreign country? Would Jesus be a mule for a drug cartel? Would Jesus be unwise and allow coyotes to hold him hostage for ransom? Would Jesus associate with individuals known to be rapists or would he show them the error of their ways? Would Jesus remain in a country illegally? Would Jesus work under the table in contravention of U.S. labor laws? If the law required a work permit, would he work without one? Would Jesus lie to get a drivers’ license? Would Jesus drive without a drivers’ license? Would Jesus acquire a fake ID or Social Security card? If Jesus were going to pay taxes on his illegal labor, would he illegally acquire and use the Social Security number of another or a deceased individual? Would Jesus use an emergency room at U.S. taxpayer expense? Ms. Nunez, is it humane for illegal aliens to cost Arizonans $2 billion a year or are illegal aliens doing economic violence to the taxpayers? Would Jesus sneak his pregnant wife across the border so that his child would be born a U.S. citizen? Would Jesus, as an illegal alien, send his children to public schools at taxpayer expense? Would Jesus loiter on private property hoping to get a job? Would Jesus submit fake documents to an employer to illegally obtain work? I think everyone can see that every illegal alien breaks multiple laws and it is not Christ-like activity. In fact, Jesus Christ, in the New Testament, tells us to, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s.” I think most believers and scholars would agree that the admonition applies to more than just taxes. I’m sure most believers and Bible scholars would agree that being law abiding is the Christian thing to do. Illegal aliens simply aren’t law abiding, yet I don’t see Ms. Nunez asking illegals to return home like Jesus Christ would do. Instead, I hear Ms. Nunez, in contravention of what Jesus Christ would do, saying, “Hey, make illegal aliens comfortable so that not only are more illegal aliens encouraged to come to the U.S., but those already here have no incentive to return home.” In essence, Ms. Nunez is urging us to encourage illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. and continue to break laws.
Let’s also not forget the “Golden Rule”: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Does anyone believe illegal aliens in the U.S. would have their countries invaded by illegal aliens from other countries? Would illegal aliens in the U.S. welcome others to come into their country and break laws repeatedly? Would illegal aliens in the U.S. have others come into their home countries and impose billions of dollars in costs to the government and ultimately them as taxpayers? The truth is that illegal aliens are not doing unto U.S. citizens as they would have others do unto them in their home countries. Would Jesus Christ approve? One could argue that Jesus would stay home and try to change things from within in his home country before illegally seeking opportunity in a foreign country, continuously breaking laws in a foreign land, and leeching off foreign taxpayers.
In the end, Ms. Nunez selectively quotes the Bible to support her position. That is not Biblical. It’s also an example of the trouble with allowing lay worshipers to call themselves “Reverend.”
LD 12, you have a choice in the Senate race. Please, make a wise choice at the ballot box on August 24th.

Here is a transcript of a speech we found that Rick Romley just gave, dug out
of the trash bin by a paparazzi:
In their ongoing attempt to protect themselves from prosecution, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has wisely chosen me to replace Andrew Thomas as County Attorney. Thomas resigned to run for Attorney General earlier this month. I am delighted to be returning as your County Attorney. It is time to restore calm to that office. Andrew Thomas unwisely rocked the boat by attempting to prosecute two of the Supervisors. Since the Supervisors have a close relationship with the media, it has created a media firestorm that looks bad. Granted, Supervisors Stapley and Wilcox are accused of some very serious crimes; Stapley spent thousands of dollars of campaign funds on personal luxury items for himself and his family, and misreported funds. Wilcox finagled a special loan for herself from Chicanos por la Causa while awarding them government grants.
The first thing I have done is fire every single person in the office who could possibly be associated with Thomas. I don’t care if they were just a lowly administrative assistant, or someone who was hired for a position after Thomas came into office and not one of his friends. Doesn’t matter if they have families and it will be tough for them to find a job in this economy. I purged them all as part of an agreement I set up with the Supervisors in exchange for this job.
It is more important to let the actions of a couple of Supervisors slide so we can have peace. Here at the County, we like to think of it as a good ole boys club, where you slap me on the back, and I’ll pat your back. We like to get along as one big family. Equally as important, Republicans aren’t supposed to go after Republicans. Thomas should never have gone after Mr. Stapley – he’s one of us! He’s not going to score any political points by going after a prestigious entrenched Republican like Mr. Stapley. The Supervisors don’t want a County Attorney who will investigate them. They’re very powerful and they will put you in your place if you question them. That is why they chose me to replace Thomas. I will not stir the pot. I will always say that they are right, and I won’t question their judgment. They trust me.
Mr. Stapley hasn’t been able to buy his wife the dream car – a brand-new Lexus – she desires and deserves. (coincidentally, I recently bought myself a brand-new Lexus) This is unfair. As public officials, we are entitled to a higher standard of living than the rest of the population. When I was in office, I flew around the country to optional conferences where I stayed in 5-star hotels that cost hundreds of dollars a night. I usually flew with an assistant or two who also had their own rooms. THAT is how public officials deserve to be treated. Not with the kind of scrutiny that Thomas and Arpaio insisted upon. I am looking forward to more trips like those, and would like to thank the taxpayers in advance for funding them. You may also remember the annual report I issued right before I left office, when I was thinking about running for governor. It was full of large glossy photos of myself, and I mailed it to every elected official and politician in the county I could think of. It cost $80,000 of your money! Fortunately the liberal media sweeps that kind of information about me under the rug, because I’m liberal like them. Morons like Thomas are subjected to intense media scrutiny over nothing because the Republic hates conservatives.
Unfortunately there is still one other official left at the county who doesn’t “get” the good ole boy club – Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I’m not looking forward to working with him because he won’t look the other way and let us all get along. What he doesn’t seem to understand is this isn’t about crime, this is about keeping the county out of the news headlines. The Supervisors are close friends with Arizona Republic reporters (one of the Republic’s editors is now PIO for the Supervisors), and that’s not going to change. Many people suspect that the Supervisors draft Republic reporter Yvonne Wingett’s articles for her. Arpaio is not being realistic. He’s gotta give the other county officials a break and understand that they control the newspapers, and the newspapers don’t like conservatives like himself, just like they didn’t like Thomas. His kind of divisive attitude is detrimental for cooperation and I fully intend to break him of it.
My first goal as County Attorney will be dismantling the illegal immigration prosecutions Arpaio and Thomas had put into place. The Board of Supervisors doesn’t like the way they’ve been prosecuting illegal immigrants, and I fully intend to honor the Board’s wishes and trash that program. I admit doing this is more in line with my political views now, I’ve become more of a Democrat the last few years. I endorsed Democrat Chris Cummiskey for Secretary of State over Jan Brewer a couple of years ago, Democrat Tim Nelson over Andrew Thomas, and Democrat Dan Saban over Arpaio. I’m currently a lobbyist for Terry Goddard. I asked Governor Brewer this week to veto the tough sanctuary city bill the legislature passed – even though 70% of Arizonans polled by Rasmussen Reports want her to sign it. I think it’s time the office went in a different direction, and if it’s more liberal, that fits in line with MY beliefs and the Supervisors who I report to in exchange for them giving me this job.
My opponent Bill Montgomery, who will be running against me this fall for County Attorney, says this about me: “Mr. Romley is going to have to answer to the Republican voters why he has had such a penchant for endorsing Democrats against Republicans. He’s going to have to explain his love for working for Democrats, most recently that one being Terry Goddard. On top of it, he’s going to have to answer to why he referred to efforts to enforce laws against illegal immigration as McCarthyism,” he said.
I have answered him by explaining that I have moved to the left, and now report to the Supervisors, something Mr. Montgomery needs to think long and hard about if he wants this position. I know what is best for Maricopa County, and I am what the public needs and wants.
This is a parody piece, but it best reflects our understanding of who Rick Romley is

Everyone should know that at the Arizona Farm Bureau Governor’s Forum, candidates were given the questions weeks in advance. Buzz Mills was actually reading his answers.
See for yourself.

This isn’t about a candidate misspeaking, this is about a candidate kissing up to the Farm Bureau members. But trust me, everyone knows better and you can too by watching the video.
We still know nothing about Buzz Mills, hopefully we will be finding out alot real soon.
Here is today’s yellow sheets with Mill’s spin-meister attempting to pull the wool over the voter’s eyes.
MILLS ‘MISSPOKE’ ON EMPLOYER SANCTIONS
ARTICLE POSTED 4.22.2010 | 4:05 PM
At a recent GOP gubernatorial candidate forum, Mills told the Arizona
Farm Bureau why he didn’t like employer sanctions. “I’m not your guy
for employer sanctions,” Mills told the crowd on April 8. “That is a
failure on the part of the feds that has made you the policeman. We
need a different system.” Despite his apparent distaste for employer
sanctions, campaign manager Camilla Strongin, said Mills supports the
legislation and simply misspoke at the candidate forum. “If you spent
as many days giving speeches, unfortunately sometimes you get your
words mixed up,” she said. Strongin said Mills didn’t change his
stance on employer sanctions because of the crowd he was speaking to,
and said his comments were meant to criticize federal inaction on
illegal immigration. “If the federal government was doing their job,
then it would take the pressure off business owners,” she said.
