Everyone in Arizona is aware of racist JT Ready and how close friends he was/is with Russell Pearce.  In fact, Russell Pearce baptized JT Ready via the Mormon Church.   Now we are hearing that he is a suspect in a killing/shooting spree.

Mormons like Russell Pearce, J.T. Ready and Mitt Romney give the Mormon church a bad name.  Mormons in the State of Arizona need to identify FAIR, Kris Kobach, John Tanton, and anti-immigrant groups as evil and vile right now!  This is a racist game costing lives including another toddler!  Isn’t it enough when we had to hear about the minutemen killing Brisenia Flores who was in fetal position begging for her life?

I believe the prophet of the Mormon Church should disseminate communications quickly and aggressively on how dangerous racism is via the hate laws being implemented against immigrants and Latinos — and who is behind them.  Why should the Mormon church step in again?  Come on, Thomas Monson … I’m talking to you, and I know you have the power to do this.  These hate laws are costing lives of my people and I take issue with Mitt Romney who was “proud to receive the endorsement and support” of Kris Kobach — a well known bigot.  Mitt is a Mormon, and he needs to be told how the Mormon missionaries are out in Latin America converting Latinos to Mormonism.  We are all supposed to be brothers and sisters under the sun.  Mitt Romney needs to be told that Kris Kobach is an evil and hateful bigot, and he needs to disassociate himself and reject Kobach’s endorsement right now.  We need to see Mormon leadership again because there are more lives at stake here and it will only get worse unless  the good people who claim to be religious step in.  Commit to memory how Mormons felt about the self deportation and extermination order of Missouri and how Mitt Romney stated he was in support of self-deportation laws.  The John Tanton network and Kris Kobach has been at the helm behind many of these hate laws.   This is an emergency.  Minutemen have already killed innocent people in the state of Arizona, and we are tired of hearing about killings against my people due to these hate and anti-immigrant laws.

We are watching this case closely.

From the Arizona Central:

A border militia leader on Wednesday shot and killed four people at a Gilbert home, including a toddler, before committing suicide, sources said.

Sources identified the shooter as Jason “J.T.” Ready, a reputed neo-Nazi who made headlines when he launched a militia movement to patrol the Arizona desert to hunt for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers.

We are happy to share Mike Stuaffer’s official statement in support of the Arizona Compact!

Finally reason is being restored into the State of Arizona as the immigration tide continues to change.

Lt. Stauffer Disavows “Tent City” / Supports Arizona Compact

by Mike Stauffer for Maricopa County Sheriff on Friday, 18 November 2011 at 15:24

For Immediate Release:

Contact: West Kenyon

t: 480.414.6868

e: west@votestauffer.com

“I support the Utah and the proposed Arizona Compacts, in that they reaffirm my beliefs in the rule of law and the constitutional enforcement of the laws and statutes passed by the legislature. These declarations also reaffirm the community’s trust in the discretion of their law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties.

Under my direction, the “tent city” facility in its present form will cease to exist. As Sheriff I will replace this facility with a self-sufficient work farm for first time and low risk inmates to learn skills, attend rehabilitation programs and provide food and services to the rest of the county jail system.

The inmates at this proposed work farm, who legally reside in the United States, will have the opportunity to participate in a new type of work release program. I will partner with local Maricopa County businesses to interview and hire qualified inmates for work in their businesses. The inmates will be paid by the business to a county audited fund to help defray the costs of administering the work farm and the work release program. The remainder of the inmates pay check, after taxes, will be placed in a trust fund for the inmate, which the inmate will have access to upon their release. The inmates will have earned these funds and a job. Upon their release, they will have the means to provide for themselves and their families as they transition back in to our community. This will have a positive impact on the recidivism rate, as the former inmate will have skills and the ability to make positive choices.

As Sheriff, I will seek to partner with other agencies within the criminal justice system and private enterprises to craft a humane and effective set of programs that will provide realistic treatment and choices for the inmates to become productive citizens upon their release back into society.”

LATINO JOINT STATEMENT ON IMMIGRATION COURSE OF THIS NATION

Phoenix, AZ –  We are happy with the recall Russell Pearce and special elections results last night when Jerry Lewis won in a historic special election that will change the course of this nation.   SOMOS REPUBLICANS and the NATIONAL TEQUILA PARTY MOVEMENT played a very big role as we worked with Conservatives and the Mormon  Community in Mesa, Arizona.  Foundress, DeeDee Garcia Blase, was the first person to initiate the recall of Sen. Russell Pearce and was instrumental in holding the FIRESIDE ON IMMIGRATION / ARIZONA COMPACT discussions with a prominent Republican in the State of Arizona — Daryl Williams.  A targeted effort and concentration was focused within the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) community and Conservatives as we worked vehemently to inform the people of Mesa of the UTAH COMPACT, and this was vital since Mesa (Legislative District 18) consists of a large Mormon population and conservatives.  Blase eventually dropped the recall and told her supporters to support Chad Snow’s efforts with regard to Citizens for Better Arizona.  She preserved some of her energy to put her support behind the candidate who would be able to beat Russell Pearce once the recall Russell Pearce was certified.

Without Daryl and the FIRESIDE ON IMMIGRATION discussions, we are afraid that the Mormons may not have heard the news fast enough with regard to the position of the LDS community when Salt Lake City, Utah,  put their support behind an immigrant-friendly compact. Last night’s win consisted of the LDS community, Conservatives, Libertarians, Independents and Democrats uniting and ousting one of the most anti-immigrant, anti-Latino politicians in American history.

Blase has learned the power of the unity message, and longs for the Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill days where both leaders were able to break partisan gridlock on tough issues.  Blase believes that Latino Republican support is dwindling and waning, and will work with a broader coalition of Independents, Democrats and Republicans on a national front via the National Tequila Party Movement as she works to break partisan gridlock on the broken immigration issue.  Blase understands the importance of uniting on a complex issue and believes the power is with “We the People.”

The defeat of Russell Pearce means the tide is turning back towards the United States maintaining its reputation as that Shining City on a Hill.  The nation is now set to reverse the evil deeds of anti-immigrant crusaders via John Tanton, Kris Kobach, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, NumbersUSA, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, and so forth.   We believe it is going to be reversed since we have sponsors for the Florida Compact via Rep. Luis Garcia, the Kansas Compact via Rep. Louis Ruiz, the Arizona Compact via Rep. Steve Gallardo, and so many other states we are working with to restore a healthy discussion on the tough issue of immigration.

The momentum and the arc of justice will bend on the side of immigration in a way that will benefit the United States American economy and immigrants will preserve our nation and take care of our elderly.  Legal immigration reform will bring out those who live in the shadows of society.

Goodness prevailed last night when Republican Candidate Jerry Lewis beat Pearce.    We hope the Republican Party learns from stellar leaders such as Jerry Lewis and Daryl Williams of Arizona.  The inaction of the Republican Party leadership and influential GOPers to step in and moderate against the extreme anti-Latino rhetoric on this tough issue has driven Latinos away from the GOP and into the Independent Party.  We must see Republicans denounce the anti-immigrant positions taken by the likes of Congressman Lamar Smith, Steve King, Senator Chuck Grassley, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Senator Marco Rubio, Senate Candidate Richard Mourdock, 2012 Presidential Candidates Herman Cain and Mitt Romney and all other Tea Party extremists.

As Latino Republican support dwindles, a new direction via The National Tequila Party movement will set the nation in a positive course that will unite people from across the political spectrum to tackle the tough issue of immigration.  We know and understand how the business community relies on this labor and how immigrants have built entire communities.  The Tequila Party will eventually be recognized for being the “American Party” that wants to reduce the partisan gridlock and move Americans to a place of UNITY and strength.
