Retired Raytheon Engineer Don Woolley is planning to start the Southern Arizona Conservative PAC in Sahuarita, Arizona. Mr. Woolley has been working on getting the paper work completed with the Secretary of State and has a Facebook page.
In an email exchange, Mr. Woolley explained that their concerns are mainly with southern Arizona, but may promote candidates and government legislation on a case-by-case basis. The PAC is open to people who consider themselves conservative despite their political party. He is asking for donations to get the PAC started.
In an email to one of his possible volunteers, he writes, “We will assemble a board from a wide range of folks, not more than 6, with a treasurer and deputy treasurer, and we encourage you to send us candidate’s info so we can survey them individually, of course the first requirement is they have to be conservatives.
“The qualifications are you have to be a conservative, smaller government, lower taxes, more liberty, balanced budget at all levels of government.”
“We are playing the roll out at the end of the week, I will send you an email with Website and Facebook URLs…we have laid the ground work and are anxious to start taking donations, we will be working through Paypal so rest assured everyone’s security will be protected,” he added.
Currently, you can contact the PAC at southernarizonaconservativepac@gmail.com or phone 520-256-5333. Their web site is expected to be online soon.
SCR 1008 and SB 1081, allowing counties to declare emergencies and clean up forested areas, passed the committee with a vote of six yes and two not voting.
SB 1083 passed with six yeas, one nay and one not voting.
The Arizona Senate has introduced S.B. 1083 to form the Arizona State Guard after the authorization passed last year. Senate President Pro Tempore Sylvia Allen, and republicans Steve Smith, Gail Griffin, Lori Klein, Al Melvin, Rick Murphy introduced the bill. Republican representative David Gowan and Terri Proud added their names to the legislation.
Title 26-174 subsection A of the Arizona Revise Statute—originally amended to authorize a guard—would be replaced with Subsections A and B to read:
A. An armed force, known as the Arizona state guard, is established for the purpose of securing the safety and protection of the lives and property of the citizens of this state. The intent of the Arizona state guard is to provide a mission-ready volunteer military force for use by this state in homeland security and community service activities as a supplement to the national guard of Arizona and state and local law enforcement agencies. The Arizona state guard exists as part of the militia under article XVI, section 2, Constitution of Arizona, and a defense force under 32 United States Code section 109.
B. The mission of the state guard is:
1. To support this state in securing the border with Mexico and supplement the efforts of law enforcement and state agencies.
2. Augment the national guard.
3. Support county and municipal leaders in combating international criminal activity.
4. Respond to natural and manmade disasters.
5. Search and rescue efforts.
6. Support community activities.
7. Other missions directed by the governor.
There is something so far-fetched and so extravagant in the idea of danger to liberty from the militia, that one is at a loss whether to treat it with gravity or with raillery; whether to consider it as a mere trial of skill, like the paradoxes of rhetoricians; as a disingenuous artifice to instil prejudices at any price; or as the serious offspring of political fanaticism. Where in the name of common-sense, are our fears to end if we may not trust our sons, our brothers, our neighbors, our fellow-citizens? What shadow of danger can there be from men who are daily mingling with the rest of their countrymen and who participate with them in the same feelings, sentiments, habits and interests? What reasonable cause of apprehension can be inferred from a power in the Union to prescribe regulations for the militia, and to command its services when necessary, while the particular States are to have the SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE APPOINTMENT OF THE OFFICERS? If it were possible seriously to indulge a jealousy of the militia upon any conceivable establishment under the federal government, the circumstance of the officers being in the appointment of the States ought at once to extinguish it. There can be no doubt that this circumstance will always secure to them a preponderating influence over the militia.—Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Paper No. 29, Concerning the Militia
In a 2008 article at the RAW Story web site, Craig Johnson, an associate professor at Point Loma Nazarene University, took place in a demonstration against expanding the border fence. He alleged that the border patrol was taking license plate numbers more than a mile away from the border.
Johnson said that he traveled to Mexico about a week after the protest and when he returned, he was handcuffed when his name came up as armed and dangerous.
The ACLU web site has an interactive map display the 100-mile border area which they call “Constitution-Free” zones in which the Department of Homeland Security, apparently, reserves the right to stop and search any vehicles for any reason. They are apparently taking intelligence on American citizens, as well.
(CNN) — Three of the seven victims of a highway attack this week in the Mexican state of Veracruz were American citizens, officials said.
A mother and her two daughters, dual Mexican-U.S. citizens who lived in Fort Worth, Texas, were aboard one of three buses that were attacked by gunmen in the city of Panuco, in the northern part of Veracruz.
“We express our deepest condolences to their family and friends during this difficult time,” State Department spokeswoman Neda Brown said.
A Mexican official in the state of Hidalgo, the hometown of the mother, identified the Americans as Maria Sanchez Hernandez and her two daughters, Karla, 19, and Cristina, 13.
This is not a civil-rights issue, it’s ensuring that everyone’s vote counts.
If you want to buy over-the-counter cold medicine at your local drugstore, chances are you have to show a photo ID to do it. Same if you want to get on a plane, rent a car or open a bank account. So why not to vote?
But to Attorney General Eric Holder, the idea is an outrage. In the name of “civil rights,” he’s declared war on a nationwide movement to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
Just this year, eight states have passed new photo-ID laws; more than half now have some form of ID requirement for voting. But Holder has already sicced Justice’s Civil Rights Division on new voter-ID laws in South Carolina and Texas to see if there’s any “disproportionate impact” on minorities. He’s also objecting to reforms in “early voting” in places like Florida, which recently tightened its electoral window.
Pro-illegal immigration extremist groups including ‘Nuestros Reconquistos’, ‘ake Back Aztlán’, and the ‘Aztlánian Brotherhood’ met on December 4th to plan a movement called “Occupy Aztlán,” scheduled to begin in January.
They plan to start in Phoenix and expand operations to all southwestern American states which they consider part of ‘Aztlan’. ‘Aztlan’ referes to the southwestern American states, which were sparsely populated by a handful of indian tribes and the occasional rancher or missionary when they came under American control over 150 years ago. Today, they include America’s 2 largest states, California and Texas, along with Arizona and New Mexico. Usually Utah, Colorado, and Nevada are also claimed as part of ‘Aztlan’, and sometimes even Oregon, Idaho, Nebraska, or Oklahoma.
On this day in 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed killing thousands of Army, Navy troops and civilians. The rallying cry “Remember Pearl Harbor” was used to unite the populace into fighting World War II. Among the wreckage was the USS ARIZONA which stands as a monument to those who fought and died in that war. The USS NEVADA, attempting to break out into the Pacific is attacked. Her commander, realizing that the ship will block the only entrance into the harbor if she sinks, intentionally runs her aground clear of the channel.
Before Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona’s life included movie role We take a moment, this December 7, to remember and honor those veterans who fought and died against a tyrannical government and apologize for allowing one to be placed in America by election.
USS Arizona at sea.
PHOENIX—John Anderson remembers rowing into the burning water around the USS Arizona, searching in vain for a twin brother later found among the battleship’s nearly 1,200 dead in the Pearl Harbor attack. But he also has fond memories of his time on the Arizona, such as attending navigation and meteorology classes with shipmates.
Donald Stratton, who left the Arizona’s flaming wreck with two-thirds of his body burned, remembers boxing matches his fellow sailors held next to a trash incinerator below deck. Continue reading “USS ARIZONA: Death brought immortality” »
The former chief executive of Intel wants to essentially blow up everything in public education in Arizona, from how teachers are trained to how they are paid.
And Craig Barrett is getting a platform to do just that with his appointment Monday by Gov. Jan Brewer as chairman of the Arizona Ready Education Council.
In a wide-ranging interview with Capitol Media Services, Barrett said Arizona’s public school children are doing far worse than the national average.
“We’re kind of the bottom 10 or 15 percent of states,” he said.
He said the prime goal of the council will be to get Arizona to adopt core national standards and then, using those as benchmarks, make sure Arizona youngsters improve.
But Barrett, while acknowledging Arizona is “not terribly high” on funding per students compared to other states, rejected the idea that more money is at least part of the answer.
The Patient’s Affordable Health Care act was pushed hard by the Unions. In fact, they pushed for $1500 in fines for you not having health care instead of the $75 a year mandated by this horrible legislation. Because of their push, you would think that unions would be laying on an operating table or easing back in a dentist chair to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
You might still see that, but it has nothing to do with this so-called health care law. You see, they are exempt from the act, as are Congressmen and their staffs. That is, the union bosses are exempt.
Why would they ensure a provision which allows Obama to exempt them? There is, also, a “Cadillac health care” provision in the plan, as well. What that means is that if you can afford a health care plan that pays all expenses and maybe a stipend for the time you loose from work, you will have to pay the government “taxes” on that plan. Union Bosses are exempt from that.
While researching other things, I found the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation web site. They had a list of other abuses sanctioned by the courts such as the legal ability to commit violence on individuals. They are obviously also exempt from the War on Terror.

Almost unbelievable. Holder actually faces Congress and blames them for Fast and Furious.
“But beyond identifying where errors occurred and ensuring that they never occur again, we must be careful not to loose sight of the critical problem that this flawed investigation has highlighted,” he said in this clip.
Yea, Congress. What’s up with that? It should be illegal for government agencies to order gun dealers to sell guns to the Mexican drug cartel that most Americans can’t afford to buy. It makes the Americans outgunned by a hostile enemy force. Not to mention getting Mexican citizens and border patrol agents killed.
Oh, yea. That is illegal.
It just so happens that Americans buying multiple guns is not the problem. The problem is government agencies running interference for gun sales and non-enforcement at the border. I thought the border was secure, Janet.
November 1, 2011: Since the government launched the Cartel War in late December 2006 around 40,000 people have died in drug cartel-related violence. That is a loss rate of 8,000 a year. Turf wars (also called intra-cartel violence) have been a major source of the deaths, though no one is quite sure what the correct percentage is. This is ultimately a war about money. How much money? Good question. The estimates vary, but the Mexican cartels probably do a $30 to $40 billion a year business in the U.S. The figure is credible. The state of Arizona announced on October 31 that it had arrested 76 people on drug smuggling charges. The accused are suspected of being members of the Sinaloa cartel. Arizona authorities estimated that the individuals arrested had done some two billion dollars’ worth of business in Arizona.
October 27, 2011: Two more suspects were arrested for the August attack on a Monterrey casino, the attack the government called a terror attack. That makes 17 arrests. Prosecutors have said that there are 18 suspects. The attack left 52 people dead. Los Zetas were responsible for the attack. So 17 out of 18 is an impressive figure. Remember this arrest rate when certain media claim Mexico is a failed state, or a North American Pakistan. That media meme is fallacious, but gets a lot of traction because it scares American citizens.
October 25, 2011: Security personnel have occupied a ranch in northern Mexico that Los Zetas used as a training area and safe house. The ranch is in the Las Aguilas area (Nuevo Leon state, Texas border area). Apparently several families in the area fled Mexico and went to the U.S. to escape Los Zetas.
Dr. Pepper’s new product is targeted toward men. Their advertisement includes the phrase “no women allowed” for the “10 bold calorie” product.
“In our test markets, Dr Pepper TEN became a go-to drink for men, providing the full-flavor, low-calorie experience they have been looking for,” said [Dave] Fleming. “We’re excited to roll out the product on a national level and give guys across the country a taste of our latest beverage innovation,” according to Packaging Digest.
Fox News Live Online said that the product contains sugar and is designed for taste. Apparently, Diet Dr. Pepper does not taste like regular Dr. Pepper enough. The problem is that the “sugar” included is high fructose corn syrup—which is alleged to have health problems of its own—and it still contains aspartame. It is difficult to find any product, today, that does not use high fructose corn syrup or aspartame instead of pure cane sugar. Even gums not labeled as sugar-free use the offensive chemical.
Recently, Pepsi has release what it calls “throwback” products which claims to use real sugar. Beverage Review, however, reveals that it is not made of pure cane sugar, but a combination of pure cane sugar and beet sugar. There are other alternatives that use pure cane sugar such as Jones and Boylan sodas. And they still use glass bottles.
While the product contains the problematic chemicals, the biggest attack on the product is the advertising targeting men. The product advertising “no women allowed” will probably draw in women who want to prove that they can handle it.
