CALL PRESIDENT OBAMA 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414 expressing your outrage at incompetence in crippling and obstructing the “bipartisan healthcare reform summit”.

We are asking you to contact the Governor of Arizona (Jan Brewer) and ask her to sign into law, SB1070 and HB2632. These bills will help the state of Arizona in reducing illegal immigration not only in Arizona, but all of the United States. Once these bills are law, other states will follow. The bills will:

Create an additional state crime of trespassing and gives law enforcement the authority to arrest someone if they have probable cause to believe they are in the country illegally;

• Give local law enforcement the opportunity to prioritize immigration enforcement over other public safety responsibilities when applicable;
• Prohibits drivers from attempting to hire day laborers (illegal aliens) for the purpose of employment;
• Criminalizes transporting, harboring or shielding anyone if the person knows or disregards the fact that they are illegal aliens;
• Gives law enforcement more tools to help enforce our state employer sanctions law.

What can you do?

Simply contact the Governor here and ask her to sign these bills into law.

Thank you for your help.

On Friday, March 5th at 10 AM, the Senate Appropriations Committee will debate and vote on SB 1108.  The sponsor of SB 1108, Committee Chairman Senator Russell Pearce, has proposed a “strike everything” amendment that replaces SB 1108, in its entirety, with the intended language from SB 1102 (Constitutional Carry).

SB 1102, which was headed for a Senate floor vote, was derailed last week after the attachment of the Cheuvront amendment creating a Class 4 Felony for private sellers of firearms who fail to verify a buyer’s citizenship when the sale is conducted at a gun show.

Please contact the Senate Appropriations Committee members, using the letter below, and urge them to vote FOR the passage of SB 1108 with only those amendments proposed by the bill’s sponsor.

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.  

State lawmakers voted Wednesday to force public schools to count how many students are in this country illegally, the first step toward challenging federal law that requires schools to educate all, legal and otherwise.

Subject: HB 2382 and SB 1097 (Student Data Collection)

Arizona Legislators will meet during two separate committee meetings this week to vote on bills mandating that all school districts gather information on the citizenship status of students, including the number of students who cannot prove lawful status. This information will then be given to the Department of Education. Any school district that fails to comply may have their state funding withheld.

RINO -at-large (Republican In Name Only), Bill Konopnicki, has officially come out of the closet. He has for some time worked “in the basement” with the Democratic Minority to overrule the conservative Republican leadership. Janet Napolitano was all too happy to sign the spend us into oblivion budget.

PHOENIX (AP) — Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor has for years tried to convince states to adopt Arizona’s system of selecting judges, which aims to remove politics from the judiciary.

But a state Senate committee on Monday will consider asking voters to ditch that system and require judges be confirmed by the Senate every four years, a move supporters say would prevent judicial activism but which O’Connor called “a great step backwards.”

“We have an excellent judiciary at present, and in my opinion it would be against the best interests of Arizona to increase the partisanship in the selection of its judges,” O’Connor wrote in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee dated Feb. 4.

A former Arizona state senator, O’Connor in 1974 helped send to voters the referendum creating the existing judicial selection system, which supporters call “merit selection.” It applies to state appellate courts and trial courts in Maricopa and Pima counties, where the vast majority of Arizona’s judges work.

For each judicial vacancy, nonpartisan commissions review applications and send the three most qualified candidates to the governor, who selects one. Voters decide whether to retain judges or remove them from office.

Sen. Jack Harper, R-Surprise, proposes that judges instead be nominated by the governor and confirmed by the Senate, similar to the federal system. Judges would have to be reconfirmed by the Senate every four years.

Raed the rest.

The bill is SCR1002, judicial appointments; senate confirmation.

Another bill being herd by the RULES committee Monday is SB1102, concealed weapons; permit; justification.

Don’t forget that legislation that you are interested in can be followed on the ALIS system.
