Take down JD’s signs today: Senate candidate JD Hayworth has one last plea for help: please remove JD Hayworth campaign signs along the roadways? Most communities require political signs to be removed no later than Friday, Sept 3. If you see any of his signs along the paths he would greatly appreciated if you could remove and dispose of them. Most are hung with zip ties and need only a pair of heavy-duty scissors or utility knife to remove. If you are able to volunteer to remove signs in addition to the ones along your usual path, please email jennifer@jdforsenate.com.
Lots of photos taken this afternoon when Sen. John McCain dropped in at the Chaparral Ice Cream Shop in Wickenburg on his way back to Phoenix from campaign stops in western Arizona. No campaign speech, just lots of hand-shaking and a tasty bit of ice cream.

Horne Condemns Obama State Dept Report Critical of AZ Human Rights Record Tom Horne, the Republican nominee for Attorney General, today denounced the Obama Administration’s report from the U.S. State Department in which Arizona is criticized by the U.S. government for alleged human rights abuses stemming from the passage of S.B. 1070. “I urge Felecia Rotellini to join me in denouncing this latest assault on the will of the people to have the border with Mexico secured – a job which the Obama Administration has largely ignored. All Arizonans should be outraged that their own federal government has submitted an official report to the United Nations that includes Arizona among human rights abusers,” Horne said.
The American Action Forum has completed its round of surveys in key West Coast House districts. Their previous rounds in other parts of the country have shown generally good news for Republicans. In CD1, Republican challenger Paul Gosar leads incumbent Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick 47% to 41%, despite Kirkpatrick’s 97% name ID. In CD8, Republican challenger Jesse Kelly and incumbent Democrat Gabrielle Giffords are tied at 46%. This is despite Giffords having 99% name ID. In CD5, Republican challenger David Schweikert leads incumbent Democrat Harry Mitchell 50% to 44%, despite Mitchell’s 97% name ID. Voters surveyed were upset with Mitchell’s support of Obamacare. With Schweikert taking 50% of the vote, there are few undecideds left for Mitchell to win over. http://americanactionforum.org/polling-data-house-districts

Message from AZ GOP Chr Randy Pullen: Pelosi Puppets In Trouble Early
Giffords, Mitchell and Kirkpatrick Struggle to Win Over Voters According to Poll
Phoenix – ‘Nancy? We have a problem,’ must have began the conversation between Nancy Pelosi and the campaigns of Kirkpatrick, Giffords and Mitchell after seeing poll data showing “Pelosi’s Puppets” either losing or in a statistical dead heat.
The polls, conducted by Ayres, McHenry and Associates, shows Paul Gosar leading Kirkpatrick by a 47 to 41 percent margin, David Schweikert beating Harry Mitchell 50 to 44 percent and Jesse Kelly tied with Gabby Giffords at 46 percent. Key findings within the polls also show weaknesses for the three incumbents with their support of Obamacare, government bailouts and opposition to Arizona’s immigration law.
“This poll clearly demonstrates the fundamental disconnect between Kirkpatrick, Mitchell and Giffords and their respective districts,” said Arizona Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen. “Their views and lockstep support of Nancy Pelosi’s agenda have been at odds with that of their constituents from day one. What’s truly amazing is that these candidates message is resonating with voters after only a week. To be leading or tied so early in the race speaks volumes about Arizonans dissatisfaction with her representation in Washington.”
“Over the next 61 days, these folks will be forced explain why they supported Obama’s version of healthcare reform which makes cuts to Medicaid and puts a government bureaucrat directly in the middle of personal healthcare decisions,” continued Pullen. “It should be interesting to see if they will refuse the support of unions like SEIU who have contributed thousands to their campaigns and are encouraging the economic boycott of Arizona. Voters are waking up to the fact that these democrats are wrong for Arizona, and wrong for the country, and this poll proves it.”

Arizona Now Has ‘Whopping 30’ National Guard Troops and 15 Billboards Warning Citizens About Drug Cartels on Public Lands (CNSNews.com) – Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said requests by Arizona law enforcement personnel and elected official for 3,000 National Guard troops to be deployed along the border have been answered with just 1 percent of that number: “We have a whopping 30 [National Guard troops] this week that are showing up,” Babeu told CNSNews.com. “It’s less than a half-hearted measure designed to fail.”
Message From Ed Winkler: Now that the election is over it’s time to sit back and evaluate the efforts of the past eight months. I’m a very lucky guy. I may not have won the Congressional 3 District race but if I had it to do all again, and I knew the outcome, Karen and I would not change our decision. We have met hundreds of wonderful people, reacquainted ourselves with many old friends and have made many new ones. I fought the good fight as best as I knew how and have emerged from the battle undamaged, unscathed and my honor still intact. We appreciate your support; when all is said and done, it is your family and friends that make this all worthwhile. We are blessed with both. I promise to be vigilant in my fight to keep America a Constitutional Republic, of the people, by the people and for the people. I’m thankful that we live in a country that will allow any of us to toss our hat into the political ring. Thank you for your involvement; we are all better because of our participation in the system. Best regards, Ed

Another Obama radical : This time the radical is in the Department of Labor and her name is Dolores Huerta. She is a legend in the labor movement, has praised Hugo Chavez and Cuba, and has even said Republicans “hate Latinos” to an audience of school children. She has also denounced capitalism and says the suitable alternative is, of course, socialism! Your taxpayer dollars are paying her salary. http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/45169/

HS test ‘slams’ Christianity, lauds Islam: State test makers played favorites when quizzing high-schoolers on world religions — giving Islam and Buddhism the kid-gloves treatment while socking it to Christianity, critics say. Teachers complain that the reading selections from the Regents exam in global history and geography given last week featured glowing passages pertaining to Muslim society but much more critical essay excerpts on the subject of Christianity. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/bad_faith_in_regents_exam_IHsTi7lMbqhfdMDrnF3xYL

In fact, the reconciliation bill that was introduced and voted on the House Floor was not the same bill that passed through the Budget Committee just a few days earlier. In addition to alternative healthcare bills, several other amendments to the reconciliation bill were also proposed by Republican Members in an attempt to limit the federal government’s involvement in the healthcare system. No less than 101 amendments were submitted to the Rules Committee, and no less than 10 amendments were submitted to the Budget Committee. As part of the Democrat majority’s plan to silence the Republican minority, none of the following amendments were adopted in the Reconciliation bill. At this link is the Summary of Republican Amendments Submitted for H.R. 4872—Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010:
