Ariz. gov calls Nov. 8 recall election for Pearce (SB 1070 author)
AP/Canadian Business ^ | 7/13/11

Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday announced a Nov. 8 recall election for state Senate President Russell Pearce, a Republican known nationally for sponsoring Arizona's legislation against illegal immigration.

Brewer's action was expected because elections officials certified last week that opponents of Pearce had collected enough signatures to force the recall election.

Pearce said he was considering whether to mount a legal challenge to the certification of the recall election. He said he will actively campaign for retention by voters in his legislative district in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa if the election is held.

"I have never lost an election and will fight these outside forces that support lax law enforcement, amnesty and open borders," said Pearce, a former law enforcement officer who was first elected to the Legislature in 2000.

The senator sponsored the 2010 enforcement law known as SB1070, which is being challenged in federal court. But the people calling for his ouster generally have focused their criticism on other issues, such as budget cuts to education and social services.

Well, we know which side is going to vote to recall Pearce.

Don't mess with the bennies of the entitlement class.

Everyone should. Russ is an American hero, and the garbage who is leading up this recall is a Mexican Reconquistador named Randy Parraz who's Padre was the California founder of the Latino Peace Officers organization (dedicated to special privileges for hispanics who like to get revenge on gringos) and who makes a big deal of his own association with Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, of whom I need not enlighten you.

In other words, a guy whose loyalty is to Mexico and the Mexican people is trying to overthrow an American.

PS - for those of you who don't know, Russ Pearce's son was shot in the chest by an illegal alien during a drug arrest back in 2004, I believe. He survived, but their family has very much put their lives on the line for America, and this scum is trying to pull him down. Don't let them.

Thanks for ping. Could you ping your list to my previous post?

I think Russ will win but we should help as much as possible.

Randy Parraz should be thrown out of the U.S. as an enemy alien.
