An Arizona Resistance Update

It’s been a full year now since the Arizona Resistance first came online.  We, myself in particular, have been giving much thought as to where we started and where we are now.  There will be more on the Arizona Resistance year in review in the next couple of days on our new site.

That’s right!  We’ve moved.  The controller of the purse strings wasn’t all that impressed with this site in the beginning and wasn’t sure it was even worth our while, let alone our funds.  In the past year the monetary powers that be, has concluded that we just might be making a difference and has given me a small budget to play with.  Therefore, we now have our own domain, host, and soon to come, much more.

Please in the future find us at ArizonaResistance.net.  Those of you that link to this site, a million thanks.  If you could also link to our new home it would be greatly appreciated.  This site will remain up as a reference and archives source. 

Thank you ALL for what we consider to have been a very good year.  We hope to see you all at ArizonaResistance.net.

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Join The Arizona Tax Revolt

The Arizona Resistance would like to help spread the word about the wonderful things the good people at the Arizona Tax Revolt are doing.  Please visit them by clicking on their logo above or here at www.arizonataxrevolt.org

The Arizona Resistance proudly endorses the efforts of The Arizona Tax Revolt.

Property taxes have been funding many of the programs that support illegal aliens. It is estimated that 20% of the K-12 students in Arizona schools are illegal aliens that do not belong in this country. As long as government is allowed to increase our taxes there is little incentive for them to close the borders and crack down on the employers that would sell our country down the river for a good quarterly profit report.

Read more about our plan at http://www.ArizonaTaxRevolt.ORG and join the effort by filling out the “volunteer form.” A little bit of your time and a few dollars now will go a long way to solving the illegal alien situation by cutting off at least some of our tax dollars. In addition the measures will make property taxes predictable and affordable so that law abiding US citizens will not be taxed out of their homes.

Russell Pearce Forms Congressional Exploratory Committee

Dear Friends: 

Together we have won many battles in our ongoing efforts to secure our borders and protect our nation from the scourge of illegal immigration.  Whether the battle was Proposition 200 to deny public benefits from those here illegally and to protect the sanctity of the ballot box, our most recent success in passing employer sanctions at the State Legislature, or our successes in between, our combined efforts have turned the tide here in Arizona. 

The real danger, as always, lies in Washington, D.C., where in the last few months we have seen open-border and cheap-labor advocates, working hand-in-hand with racist groups like La Raza, try to pass legislation that would grant amnesty to nearly 20 million illegal aliens, while opening our borders and systems to further abuses.  Together, we rallied and defeated their attempts to pass this for the remainder of this year and next, but I remain deeply concerned about what the next Congress will do and what position our next President will take.  Clearly, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats favor amnesty as a solution, as do a few of the Republican candidates as well. 

What was most disappointing in this year’s struggle, and what I fear most in the next round of battles, was how the pro-amnesty position was primarily championed by Republicans.  Sure, Ted Kennedy was there (isn’t he always?), but prominent Republicans, including Arizona Republicans like Sen. John McCain and Rep. Jeff Flake were there as well, leading the charge.  What a terrible and misleading signal it sends when border state officials claim that we cannot secure our borders or worse, that we should not even try to secure them. 

Ultimately, no matter how much we do here in Arizona, this battle will be won or lost in our nation’s capitol.  That is why I have listened to so many of you when you have asked that I consider running for Congress, and that is why I have formed this Exploratory Committee! Our first goal is to raise $25,000 to pay for critical research and polling so that we can be sure that this race is winnable.  If we determine that it is, then we can formally begin a campaign to take back this district for the people of Arizona, and perhaps inspire a movement to take back America one state at a time. 

Let me know how you can help and please, if you are able, make a contribution.  As soon as we raise the $25,000 we will do our work and report directly back to you what we have found. 

My friends, I do not take this contest lightly.  I am a 5^th generation Arizonan (on both sides of my family) and I am deeply committed to our great state and the founding principles of this great nation.  While Congressman Flake and I may agree on a whole host of fiscal and social issues, we have profound and fundamental differences on the critical issues of national security, sovereignty and the rule of law. 

Please accept my humble thanks, in advance, for anything you are able to do. 

God bless, and in God we still trust. 

Faith, Family and Freedom above all else,

Democrat Leadership Eats It’s Young; Harry Mitchell Has No Spine

Commentary:   Rep. Harry Mitchell, D-AZ was sent to D.C. last year replacing J.D. Hayworth as Arizona’s representative from District 5.  He ran a campaign basically attacking Hayworth for becoming part of the Republican party’s “establishment” and being more in touch with his party bosses and special interest contributors than to his constituents.  All of which appears to have been true.  Now, I have no love for Harry Mitchell.  The guy is the antithesis of just about everything I stand for politically.  However, after being a staunch supporter and backer of Hayworth from the beginning, and watching him free-fall into the political party and special interest machine… Mitchell seemed to be a necessary evil.  I think that’s how many Republican voters in district 5 viewed it.

Last night I was listening to J.D. on his radio talk show extract his pound of flesh from Mitchell’s vote change on the floor of the House.  Indeed, Mitchell’s act was a pathetic display of statesmanship (or should I say, lack there of).  Hayworth certainly had fun with it.  It was a rather classic piece of irony. 

One thing is certain.  Our attempts to send ANYBODY to D.C. representing us and not the special interests or party bosses, isn’t going very well.  It doesn’t seem to matter which side of the aisle they sit on.  One has to wonder what’s in the water there that corrupts everyone that drinks from the fountain.

Mitchell’s asshattery last week was a HUGE slap in the face not only to Arizona, but also to the vast majority of his constituency.  He blatantly reneged on his promise to his constituents and caved in to his party bosses.  I guess you could say he pulled a Kyl on us.  Arizona’s Own Espresso Pundit has the ugly details.

Take a moment and watch the video.  Harry Mitchell clearly casts the deciding vote to kill the Republican amendment that would have prevented illegal aliens from profiting off of the farm bill.

What is Mitchell thinking?  He cast the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would have prevented illegal aliens from getting government benefits.  Similar measures on the Arizona ballot passed with nearly 75% support.  Mitchell had the chance to side with the voters of his district, or with the Democratic Leadership.  He was with the voters initially, but when it became clear that his vote was actually going to matter, he jumped back into Nancy Pelosi’s arms. 

Now contrast that against what Harry Mitchell said in one of his first campaign commercials.

You’re right Harry.  There is DEFINATLY need for a change in Washington, again.  And you have proven you’re not it.  You havn’t even been there a year and you’ve already fogotten about the people you represent.  At least J.D. waited ’till his re-election, or at least ’till Newt was gone, to just give lip service to his constituents and serve the special interests and party bosses.  You made a beeline straight toward corruption and party politics.  I guess we can chalk another one up to the ilk and likes of Jon”Benedict”Kyl.

Every time I read or write about these damn politicians that claim to represent us, I think about good people like Mr. Nelson Lee Walker.  Of course we know what he would tell us.  “Tro da bums out!”
