Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and John McCain, R-Ariz., will introduce the bill in the Senate. In the House, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., will team with Arizona Republicans Jeff Flake and Jim Kolbe to introduce the measure.

Jim Kolbe is again being faced with a conservative pro-border security challenger in the Republican primary election. Randy Graf announced last month his challenge against the liberal extremist congressman who has betrayed his constituents in Arizona's 8th district. Since Kolbe took office 20 years ago his district has become one of the worst areas along the U.S./Mexico border in sheer numbers of criminal invaders coming across. Kolbe is complicit in this because he personally inserted language in appropriations bills to shut down the permanent Border Patrol checkpoints in Arizona - and Arizona only. The Border Patrol is very much against Kolbe's meddling and has said so publically. A week ago Kolbe lambasted the Border Patrol and threatened to pull their funding and take congressional action against the agency which would "sting" them. Kolbe has voted for every illegal alien amnesty to his the House floor and is currently one of the strongest proponents of amnesty for criminal invaders.

Kolbe is a well entrenched and well financed politician. He has a huge campaign warchest and was able to outspend Graf 10-1 in the last election and even spent $300,000 in the last two weeks to spread a campaign of lies and distortions.

Randy Graf is serious about bringing Kolbe down. He is starting his campaign a year before he started his previous campaign. Instead of starting about 6 months out he is starting 16 months out.

But to defeat Kolbe, Randy Graf needs all of the help he can get. Go to www.grafforcongress.com to find out more and to help the campaign any way you can. Kolbe can't continue to keep getting away with his betrayal of the people in his district, the Border Patrol, national security, and the citizens of the United States. Kolbe must be stopped and a message sent to Washington that the people are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore. YOU can make a difference right now.

Thanks.

Am going to check this out and Graf will more than likely be receiving a contribution from me.

WE need to be doing much the same thing in ALL other similar such races throughout the country.

Needs to be a "central clearing" place which will outline all those running in House and Senate, their positions on conservative issues (such as this one); their records if incumbents as well as their opponents and their views.

WE NEED TO START VOTING WITH OUR POCKETBOOKS!!
