It will be Joe and only a few others who are texting me as I write this to you.  I have given my members and other concerned Hispanics in the community up to 4:20 pm to text me their numbers if they want to listen in on this very important matter. 

I am also going to a private meeting room in Mesa, Arizona, where other concerned citizens can listen in with me on this important topic because several in the community are concerned about giving Republican extremists another platform.  As you might already know, I am involved with a non-partisan group that filed the first recall against Senator Russell Pearce for introducing laws that violate the Constitution such as SB 1070.  You will be glad to hear that we have already collected over 1500 signatures from Mesa registered voters.

The SB 1225 sort of reminds us of what occurred 3 or 4 years ago when Sen. Sinema initially introduced a bill, but it was then taken over by Rep.  Jonathan Paton who in essence took her language and got it passed. To this day, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has used her language because of that bill that was ultimately passed by Rep. Paton.

Mary and Sen. Sinema,
Thank you for the follow up, and I look forward to hearing from Senator Sinema at 4:30 pm today. 
Sen Sinema was open to discussing the sb 1225 issue with SOMOS REPUBLICANS, and concerned Hispanic citizens within our community, and we will be adding participants as soon as you conference me in. We would have preferred to have met with the Senator on a personal basis, however, we are glad to speak with her on the phone.

A couple of points I want to discuss but  it does not limit to the below:

  1. We would like for Senator Sinema to kill the bill (SB1225).  There is already a penalty in place, and we have so many anti-immigrant laws already on the books.  Since there is already a penalty in place and a multitude of immigrant bills which Arizona is notorious for (no thanks to Republican extremists), wouldn’t it be wise to focus our time and resources on the deficit, the economy, and fixing the broken immigration system?
  2. In addition to our request for Sen. Sinema to kill this bill, we would like for her to be a leader and introduce the ARIZONA COMPACT.  We have language she could use which is designed to provide a healthy discussion on immigration.  The ARIZONA COMPACT is modeled after the Utah Compact and was a successful measure that was endorsed by Utah businesses, church leaders and the community.

The Hispanic Community can no longer be used as political footballs with regard to immigration related matters.  We are tired of it. We cannot afford to give extremists a platform anymore.   It’s time to solve the complex issue of immigration that will work towards truly securing our borders, as well as, supporting pro growth ideas that will create a robust economy.  Over-criminalizing laws are not the answer.

Warmest regards,
