Live in Arizona? Live near the border? Think things are scary now? If our Sheriffs lose their authority, get ready for a nightmare.
The U.S. Supreme Court is now in the midst of deciding the constitutionality of Arizona’s strict immigration law. President Obama has spent a lot of time and money challenging this law, but he should consider that this law would not exist if it wasn’t for his own actions.
This is an excerpt from an open letter to Maricopa County Attorney General Bill Montgomery:
In the past several years the local media has worked hard to try to tie Russell Pearce to the J.T. Ready that preached hate, and it is a lie.
Why is it that when a conservative’s letter is printed, it’s nearly always responded with a liberal’s hatred and rhetoric? I said in my letter that water boarding was not torture. It doesn’t matter how many liberals respond; I will never back down from my viewpoints.
What rights does a homosexual deserve more than what I have?
I was always taught that the trick to remembering the difference in spelling between “principle” and “principal” was that the principal wants to be your pal. I never understood this trick until Mrs. Dean became my principal. Mrs. Dean knows all of her students by their first names and is always standing in the hallways greeting and talking to the students. I want to let Mrs. Dean know that I appreciate her leadership. I have really enjoyed this past year at GCA with Mrs. Dean as my pal.
In the last decade and a half, animal shelters in numerous communities have implemented a bold series of programs and services to reduce birthrates, increase adoptions, and keep animals with their responsible caretakers. As a result, they are achieving unprecedented results, saving upwards of 95 percent of all impounded animals in their animal control facilities. These communities share very little demographically. What they do share is leadership at their shelters with a passion for lifesaving and who have comprehensively implemented a key series of programs and services, collectively referred to as the “No Kill Equation.”
One year after the U.S. assassination of Osama bin Laden, I’m concerned that our government is still pursuing the same failed war strategy in Afghanistan based on bringing “peace” through fighting and war.
Why would a person want to be a teacher, coach, counselor or administrator in our Arizona public schools? We pay them a paltry salary, we have almost impossible expectations of them, their medical and retirement benefits have been reduced, their tenure has been rendered impotent, and some are even facing layoffs.
