Russell Pearce for Governor
Like many other Arizona politicians, Governor Napolitano is a Janet come lately in addressing the problems facing Arizona that are caused by illegal immigration and a unsecured border.
Clearly, the popularity of Proposition 200 has motivated many politicians, including Napolitano, to stop ignoring the issue and get on board the illegal immigration bandwagon.
Governor Napolitano, and presidential want-to-be, Senator John McCain, certainly want to down-play their strong opposition to passage of Prop. 200. Many Republican politicians, who wouldn't touch the illegal immigration issue before passage of Proposition 200, are now championing the issue. These Janet, and, Johnny come lately's, should campaign for office with the slogan, "Politics before principle."
One elected official didn't just give lip service to the illegal immigration issue, he lead the fight for passage of Proposition 200 before it was popular to do so. Regardless of whether you agree with him on any given issue or not, he has always fought for what he has felt was in the best interest of the people of Arizona, I'm referring to Arizona Representative, Russell Pearce, a man who puts "Principle before politics."
Russell Pearce is a true principled conservative leader and the one thing that is still missing among the candidates for the office of Governor in the Republican primary is a truly principled conservative leader to challenge Janet Napolitiano in 2006, therefore, as a citizen of Arizona, I call upon the Honorable, Russell Pearce to enter the GOP primary for governor. The people of Arizona need his principled leadership now.

But what about the Goldwater nephew: I thought it was already understood that he would be the Republican nominee in 2006, then surely lose to Napolitano.
