Tancredo Speaking about Border Patrol Agent

Here's a great video. Congressman Tancredo actually speaking about his visit with Border Patrol Agent Ramos.

Solider Stabbed by Illegal Alien.

I was forwarded a story about a soldier being stabbed by an illegal alien (reported correctly be Channel 5). What I really found interesting is how it was being reported. Channel 3 , Channel 12 and Channel 15 stories says just a "neighbor" stabbed him. No an illegal alien, someone who shouldn't be here, stabbed this brave man.

If news stations and papers would report how often illegal alien were actually committing crimes more people would be outraged.

It's My Lane and I'll Pay If I Want To.

Well SB 1585 has now made it out of the State Senate Transportation. After a presentation from a group advocating For Privatization of HOV lanes. Now beside the HOV on the I17 this bill has now been amended to include the SR51. Now these lanes that were paid for by all taxpayer as HOV, would now be available for single person cars if you're willing to pay the "Bribe". Sen. Gorman and Sen. Gould are only seeing the money.

What about the morals?

These legislators were completely against the cameras on Loop 101 in Scottsdale, but enforcement of these new toll road would be made with cameras. So no big brother on Loop 101 because we don't make money, but camera's on I17 and SR51 are OK because we make money on that.

I know I've heard Sen. Gorman in past make statement that any increase of fees is a tax increase. But here she is wanting to create fees. Her argument is that this fee is an optional, but is most fees are "optional". Because you don't HAVE to be a real estate agent, but you have to pay a fee to get a license if you do. You don't HAVE to be a Securities dealer, but if you want to you pay a fee to get that license. A fee is a tax.

Way to Go Senator Verschoor!!!!!!

I just have to say I am so very proud of Senator Thayer Verschoor. His bill SB 1550 is great for the Pro-life cause. In this bill it will requires all abortion clinics to file a report with 48 hours of preforming an abortion. In this report it will include the doctor preforming the abortion, the age of the woman, the age of the fetus and a lot of other data that's not currently available. With this bill we can actually see how many abortion are being performed. This will be a great step forward. For so many years the abortion groups have tried to hide these numbers because they know if actually numbers are reported the public would be outraged. Please call your State Senator and urge them to support this bill.

Fishing For Disabled Veterans

Here's another great bill. SB 1305 grants disabled Arizona veterans free fishing licenses. These men and women served our country with honor. They gave themselves for our freedom. I believe we can a least let them fish for free.

Making Government go 21st Century

Now I have to say with SB 1237 Sen. Harper and Sen. Chuck Gray are going in the right direction. This bill will require all public bodys of cities and towns of more than 2500 people to post their minutes on their website. This bill will make it easy for anybody to look up votes and happening with ease.

Let make government more transparent.

Dems want cops stopping for Seat belts.

Democrats want police officer to take there precious time pulling people over for seat belts. I believe that people do need to wear their seat belts, but do we really need cops pulling them over for it. That's what the Democrats that sponsor HB 2688 want.

The other negative of this bill is cops may stop a car that they "thought" had their seat belts off.

State Senator believes dating more important than Safety

Last week in the Arizona State Senate Transportation committee passed SB 1347 out of committee on vote of 4-1. The single "no" vote was from Senator Gorman. SB 1347 is the "Teenage Driver Safety Act". This bill if passed will prohibit teenage drivers from driving late at night and with a car load of other teenagers. Arizona is one of 5 states that have not already put such restrictions on teenage driver. Studies have already showed the effectiveness of these programs in other states.

When given a chance to explain her vote, Sen Gorman argued that this bill would basically make group dating for teenagers illegal and she believes in group dating.

This is a very weak argument. If the teenagers want to go on group dates then let's get the parents involved and have them drive. There is also public transportation and what about separate cars.

I'm sorry public and teen safety is more important than dating.

Tom Tancredo Meet's with Border Patrol Agent Ramos

I was forwarded this story. I thought you should know.

Congressman: Convicted agent's injuries are worse than reported

Yazoo Federal Prison (Feb 10, WASHINGTON, DC) - An imprisoned former Border Patrol agent who was beaten in his sleep has injuries that are more serious than previously reported, said a congressman on Friday.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., met with Ignacio Ramos, who was convicted in March for the nonfatal shooting of a Mexican drug smuggler. Ramos is serving an 11-year sentence at Yazoo Correctional Complex in Mississippi.

Tancredo said he was astonished at the injuries on Ramos' body, which he said did not coincide with reports from the prison earlier this week that described his injuries as "minor.""His bruises were deep and severe," Tancredo said. "His arm, chest and back are black and blue with broken blood vessels on his arm. It was terrible."

Ramos was beaten Saturday night by roughly a half-dozen inmates who recognized him from a TV show that aired shortly before 10 p.m. He was pulled from his cell, which remains unlocked until midnight, by the inmates and kicked repeatedly by the men who were wearing steel-toed boots. The boots are issued to inmates for their daily work, according to the prison's Web site.

Ramos did not see a doctor until Wednesday, Tancredo said.

The prison's warden, Constance Reese, did not return phone calls for comment.

According to a prison press release, "Ramos was evaluated by medical staff at the institution, who determined he had sustained some bruises and abrasions."

Charles Smith, a spokesman for the institution, also said in the release that Ramos' injuries "were minor in nature."

"Inmate Ramos was subsequently placed in the Special Housing Unit pending a thorough investigation of the incident. He will remain in the Special Housing Unit until the conclusion of this investigation."

Prison officials have interviewed six inmates associated with the assault, Tancredo added. The congressman said he is working to move the former agent to a facility where Ramos will be safe.Representatives of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach, visited the facility with Tancredo. Tara Setmayer, Rohrabacher's communications director, said she was astonished at the injuries Ramos sustained.

Setmayer said Reese refused to allow her, or Tancredo, to view photos taken of Ramos the night of the incident or any documents regarding the ongoing investigation into the case.

"To underestimate the seriousness of the assault on (Ramos) is a disingenuous characterization by the prison officials," Setmayer said. "He clearly is the victim of a vicious attack. And the ineptitude demonstrated by prison officials with such a high-profile prisoner is troubling.

"Ramos and fellow former agent Jose Compean were convicted of shooting Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila in the buttocks and violating his civil rights. Compean was sentenced to 12 years in an Ohio federal prison.

Watch Out Pharmacists

The liberals are at it again. The Pro-Abortionist of the State Senate want to force Pharmacist to fill prescriptions for abortion drugs against their own beliefs. SB 1470 will force pharmacist to dispense abortion drugs, if a pharmacist refuses they will be subject to having their license revoked for 15 year on the first offense.

I expect better.

Like I said before it's time to dig into the Legislative bills. I'm sorry to report that I'm deeply disappointed with 3 very conservative legislators. Sen. Gould, Sen. Harper and Sen. Gorman all wish to turn the HOV lane on the I17 into a toll lane. I don't believe in turning something that all taxpayers paid for into a private lane for those who can afford it can use. What makes them better than the rest of the taxpayers. What really disturbs me is the fact that in this propose Bill, the section of the I17 south of 101 is Sen. Gorman direct route to the Capitol. This looks a little self serving.

Hypocrite, Hypocrite

Rep. Sinema is one of the biggest hypocrite out there. Sinema and other liberals have drop a bill to repeal the death penalty here in Arizona. HB 2278 would repeal our death penalty and provide for a "Natural Life" sentence. Yet this is a woman who openly supports abortions. So it's OK to kill innocent children, but save the life of a convicted murder.

Bill to make Americn Flags Non-Taxable

HB 2135 is a bill sponsored by Rep. Kavangh, Rep.Reagan and Rep Adams that would make American Flags non-taxable. This should have been done a long time ago. How Un-American is it to tax your country's flag.

More Smoking Bans

HB 2729 is a purposed bill that would make it illegal to smoke in a car with a minor. I'm not a smoker, but I do not favor the government telling us what to do. Then the next step will be you can't smoke inside your own home. This is a road we do not wish to travel on. Mr. Clark is the only Republican sponsor of the bill. Mr. Clark ran on a platform of less government and conservative values.

More Goverment Republicans

Today I really went digging to bills that have been proposed. Another bill caught my eye. HB 2320 would make loan originators obtain a license. Current in Arizona only the Mortgage broker needs to get licensed. Then the broker is liable for the people that they hire and keep under them. Making originators obtain a license only creates more government and will limit competition in the loan market. You may think that this bill was sponsored by Democrats, no it is sponsored by Republicans. Mind you most of the Republican sponsors are known to be more left leaning. The sponsors include McCLain, Reagan, Konopnicki and Crump. Crump is a freshman and hasn't gotten a name for himself yet. But in previous years was well connected to more moderate Republican Clancy Jayne.

Trying to Undermine Prop 200 again

I was just reading through some of the proposed bills this session and notice HB 2059. This bill sponsored by Sinema, Gallardo, Campbell, and Lujan would make any piece of mail that is posted marked with a name and address legal identification at the polls. This action would make voter fraud easier. Anyone could mail themselves a letter and that would become ID. The postal service doesn't screen for true identity or if in fact that person lives at that address. I don't believe that this bill will make it out of committee. I just wanted to point out the fact that the liberals are still trying to undermine prop 200.

Police may get more help solving crimes

Being a huge fan of CSI I found this very interesting. Sen. Chuck Gray has sponsored SB1267 a bill that will make collecting DNA samples as part of the booking process. Sen Gray argues that fingerprints are taken from everyone arrested and book. Those databases are used everyday to identify criminals. DNA is today's fingerprints. Sen. Gould fears that this maybe the start of a national DNA database.


Both Senators have good arguments. Which way should this be taken. Do we have a DNA database that may help solve more crimes or do we error on the side of keeping big brother out of our lives. Another issue to consider is the cost. How much will this new database cost or how much will it save. I'm still on the fence here.
