Message from Sen. Russell Pearce:
HB2632 WHICH IS THE MIRROR BILL TO SB1070 PASSED OUT OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ALONG PARTY LINES. IT NOW GOES TO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (COW) AND THEN FOR 3RD READ. SB1070 IS ALREADY PASSED THE SENATE AND WAS SENT TO THE HOUSE AND NOW WAITS FOR HB2632 TO PASS. HB2632 NEEDS TO PASS 3RD READ AND WILL BE EXCHANGED FOR SB1070 AND SENT TO THE GOVERNOR. WE NEED EVERYONE TO CALL, WRITE AND MAKE SURE THIS BILL PASSES THE HOUSE. IT IS INDEED THE MOST “COMPREHENIVE ENFORCEMENT” LEGISLATION IN THE NATION. MANY STATES ARE WATCHING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS LEGISLATION IN ARIZONA. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CONTACT ALL YOUR HOUSE MEMBERS AND GET THEIR COMMITTMENT TO VOTE “YES” ON HB2632. YOU CAN USE WWW.LIFELIBERTYFREEDOM.COM IT IS FREE, IT IS EASY AND IT IS EFFECTIVE. TRY IT YOU WILL LIKE IT.
Folks the Arizona Chamber, the Phoenix Chamber and the Farm Bureau have personally told me they were not going to oppose the bill and were OK with it. East Valley Chamber has supported this kind of legislation in the past and I assume still do, as do many other Arizona chambers and businesses. About 70% to 80% of the public continue to support enforcement and secure border efforts.

“The several states composing the US. of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government…”
–Thomas Jefferson in the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798
William J. Watkins, Jr., Reclaiming the American Revolution: The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions and Their Legacy (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004).
Ask the typical undergraduate to discuss the ideas advanced in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 and you may as well be asking for an overview of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics. Yet these nearly forgotten documents fully merit a place among the most important political writings in American history, both in terms of the ideas they put forth and the influence they had on subsequent generations of American political thinkers. That’s why William Watkins’ book is something to celebrate.
The Resolutions in effect posed and sought to answer a series of fundamental questions. How is the central government to be restrained? Are frequent elections and internal checks and balances sufficient, or does the limitation of federal power require still more institutional safeguards? Which institution, if any, possesses the definitive word on constitutional disputes between the federal government and the states?

Sice they are perhaps its most skilled practitioners, it was hilarious to watch the Clintons, of all people, whine about “the politics of personal destruction” during Bill’s impeachment. Well, they’re baaaaaa-aaaaack.
Well, he is, anyway. And Bill is dusting off an old friend for his latest project:
Big Government has learned that Clintonistas are plotting a “push/pull” strategy. They plan to identify 7-8 national figures active in the tea party movement and engage in deep opposition research on them. If possible, they will identify one or two they can perhaps ‘turn’, either with money or threats, to create a mole in the movement. The others will be subjected to a full-on smear campaign. (Has MSNBC already been notified?)
Big Government has also learned that James Carville will head up the effort.
The message, if this story is true: don’t you dare speak your mind, America. If you do, we’re coming after you.

The U.S. Supreme Court has sent a strong signal that it will seriously consider intervening if the fate of matching funds in Arizona’s system of publicly funded campaigns is not determined quickly by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In January, U.S. District Court judge Roslyn Silver ruled in favor of the Goldwater Institute and struck down the matching funds portion of Clean Elections, calling it “unconstitutional under the First Amendment.” However, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit voted 2-1 to put Silver’s ruling on hold until it acts on the case.

Most are familiar with those commercials on television promoting prescription drugs that supposedly offer relief from a variety of ailments, if one would only pressure one’s doctor to obtain them. They have become a source of great entertainment and amusement to some, the kicker coming at the end of each commercial when the FDA-approved medication’s obligatory litany of warnings and dangerous side effects is recited: “Tell your doctor if….” and “Side effects may include…..” Some of the warnings are mild like diarrhea and constipation, some list serious effects like cancer or tuberculosis, and others admit that sometimes even death can result.
The point here is that these are all FDA-approved drugs being advertised and used extensively. Drugs that can cause serious diseases like lymphoma. Drugs that can kill. The FDA’s dismal safety record is well documented; even PBS ran a Frontline special that investigated and exposed the FDA’s unsafe drug record, the influence of Big Pharma inside the FDA, and lack of long-term testing and medical review of many, many dangerous drugs. The FDA seldom removes a drug from the market even after it proves to be harmful or deadly, however they do post quarterly reports with details of the latest potentially dangerous side effects of drugs currently under investigation.

Today’s White House-sponsored health care summit is an insult to the intelligence of every honest American. President Barack Obama’s communications minions are still trying sell his plan as an “opening bid” in the health care debate. But as Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus asks: “With whom is he bidding? The public dance is with Republicans, but this is hardly serious. The White House does not enter Thursday’s summit expecting Republicans to make a deal.” In fact, the President’s recently-unveiled plan is specifically designed to be passed without a single Republican vote. That is why the Washington Post reports this morning:

Introduction
It might be instructive to look at how Pennsylvania dealt with the issue of slavery in our early history. This topic is useful, because in retrospect it is perfectly clear which side was morally right. So, this week I learned a little bit about the history of anti-slavery laws and se
ntiment in early Pennsylvania. I have only scratched the surface, so we will probably revisit this topic in the future. It may be that Pennsylvania’s activities, in support of Liberty for blacks in early America, can contribute to our Tenth Amendment roadmap for the future.
The first ever American resolution against slavery was issued from Pennsylvania in 1688. The University of Houston quotes the Germantown Petition against slavery as saying, “…In Europe there are many oppressed for conscience-sake; and here there are those oppressed which are of a black colour….Pray, what thing in the world can be done worse…”. The Germantown Petition, although largely ineffective, was passed among the Quaker communities in Pennsylvania.
