Breaking: Mike Stauffer for Maricopa Co. Sheriff supports the ARIZONA COMPACT (Modeled after UTAH COMPACT)

Friday, November 18th, 2011

I spoke with Mike Stuaffer’s campaign advisor, West Kenyon, and asked if Mike would support the Arizona Compact that is Modeled after the UTAH   COMPACT.

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.

See below announcment.

 

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.”

Tying the Russell Pearce millstone loss to Sheriff Joe Arpaio – then Steve Montenegro

Friday, November 18th, 2011

We are so happy to hear how aggressive the Mike Stauffer for Sheriff campaign is taking to ensure a win over Joe Arpaio.  They are doing many, many wonderful things and have been working strong and hard since summer of this year.  They have already received broad bipartisan support from reasonable Republicans, Independents, Democrats,and Libertarians since he changed from a registered Republican to a registered Independent.   Somos Republicans endorsed Mike Stauffer on September 30, but taking down Joe Arpaio will take a BROAD coalition of support in very much the same manner that Russell Pearce was ousted.  The National Tequila Party Movement will do all that it takes to collect signatures to help get Mike on the ballot.  Mike needs 35,000 signatures.  Please email info@nationaltequilapartymovement.com to help us collect the 35,000 he needs.

Arpaio has a $5-6 million dollar war chest and the Stauffer campaign knows it.  That said, the Stauffer campaign is hungry.  Mike knows in the pit of his soul the millions and millions of dollars that were wasted on Joe’s corruption.

The Tequila Party will make every effort in tying the Russell Pearce millstone loss to Sheriff Joe Arpaio….then Steve Montenegro, then Congressman David Schweikert and all the other politicians who supported Pearce and his draconian anti-Mexican laws.

The below photo is of Russell Pearce, Steve Montenegro and Joe Arpaio.

Steve Montenegro of all people disappointed us the most.  He was a minister of an evangelical church, and he slammed the door behind him on immigrants (when he supported Arizona’s harsh anti-immigrant law) after he and his family enjoyed the compassion afforded to his family when he came here as an immigrant.

We look forward to Steve Montenegro being replaced.  After all, he is just like Russell Pearce, too.

The next Arizona political fight: Mike Stauffer for Sheriff will replace Joe Arpaio

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

Pre Russell Pearce Recall and the win of Jerry Lewis special elections, we wrote about Mike Stauffer for Sheriff who has the ability to replace Joe Arpaio.

The Mike Stauffer campaign knew that the momentum would be on their side with regard to Arpaio once the moderate Republican (Jerry Lewis) beat the extremist Republican (Russell Pearce).  On October 24, 2011, Mike Stauffer launched their Spanish website and I wrote about it here.

Mike Stauffer is the Jerry Lewis player in this campaign against Joe Arpaio since every Arizonan knows that Arpaio and Russell Pearce are basically political bosom-buddies.  Make no mistake, it took a Republican to beat a Republican, and Mike Stauffer is a former long life Republican golden-boy type who just recently switched to the Independent party because of the extreme nature of the tea party supporters here in Arizona (immigration ground zero).

Mike Stauffer changed his affiliation from the Republican Party to the Independent Party and since we all know that the voting demographics in Arizona are to the tune of 1/3 Republican voters, and 1/3 Independent voters to under 1/3 Democratic voters, it made sense for Stauffer to switch to the Independent Party so that he didn’t have to worry about the Republican Primary elections.  He can just beat Arpaio during the general elections. For the record, Independents tend to vote conservatively in our state of Arizona — just ask Felecia Rotellini (blue dog Democrat) who almost beat Tom Horne in 2010 for the Attorney General position.

Mike Stauffer has an impeccable track record, and we hope that nobody enters this race to dilute the voting pool.  Mike Stauffer WILL beat Joe Arpaio, and if another person from the Democratic or Independent Party chooses to run against Joe Arpaio….we will view that move as one we witnessed with regard to the whole Olivia Cortes scandal with regard to the Special Elections race that could have prevented Jerry Lewis from beating Russell Pearce.

I am seeking volunteers to collect signatures for the man who can beat Joe Arpaio.  Please email me at info@nationaltequilapartymovement.com if you want to help Mike Stauffer for Sheriff!

We are excited to see Joe Arpaio’s corruption leave the state of Arizona.  Joe Arpaio has wasted millions and millions of Arizona tax dollars.

 

 

 

SONORAN ALLIANCE: Republican website continues to bash women

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Shane Wikfors uses the SONORAN ALLIANCE to promote anti-immigrant Dixiecrat Republicans like JD Hayworth, Russell Pearce, Joe Arpaio, David Schweikert et al.

That said, Shane Wikfors has indeed lied about a former long life Republican (me) when he allowed his website to accuse me of being for open borders.

Little does Shane know that I am a Gulf War I Veteran who served honorably under George Bush Sr.  and I take issue with him and his Sonoran Alliance website when they accuse me of not being in support of appropriate national security.  I have always advocated for secure borders and legal immigration.

It is true that Shane Wifkors has allowed the SONORAN ALLIANCE to be a venue that has attacked Senator John McCain and now Jerry Lewis.  I have yet to find one pro-Jerry Lewis entry on his site because Shane has repeatedly promoted the Dixiecrat and Archie Bunker-wing Republicans in the State of Arizona.

Here is proof of how Shane has allowed his site to attack Jerry Lewis.

 

(Above) Shane Wikfors allows Sonoran Alliance to LIE about Republican and LDS Member Jerry Lewis

IT IS NOT TRUE FOR THE SONORAN ALLIANCE TO STATE JERRY LEWIS IS A PUPPET OF ANYONE!

Where is Shane Wifkor’s demand for Russell Pearce to answer the questions by the public with regard to the FIESTA BOWL financial contributions scandal?

Go to the Sonoran Alliance, you will see how Shane leaves the Russell Pearce/Fiesta Bowl scandal as a topic that does not get it’s appropriate scrubbing, yet he is quick to attack women.  Go figure.   No wonder the SONORAN ALLIANCE promotes Russell Pearce — Pearce has abused his wife and yet you don’t see Shane denouncing that in a public post, do you?

If one were to ask me my opinion…..I would have to say that it is easy for Shane to attack Latinas and females in general.  Maybe people who have lived in Arizona for a while are used to treating women like that since he has done nothing but bark out orders, make demands of me like I’m sort of door mat, and/or attack me for the past two years for trying to do Latino Republican outreach in the name of sensible immigration reform. Shane does not know how to say please when making demands of American-born women who have an understanding that men cannot treat women like their substandard property.

I hope Shane doesn’t treat his mother like he treats women, and if he doesn’t know already, I am now part of a female-led movement via the National Tequila Party Movement.   I’m confident that with all of his Tea Party extremism garbage he allows on his site that he really loathes Mexican-Americans being the true patriots, yet being proud of our cultural heritage, too.   All one has to do is look at the Sonoran Alliance to find out how pro-Russell Pearce is.  Pearce has not been shy about welcoming “Operation Wetback“.

That’s what this is about.

I will be sure to send Shane a Holiday Card for the free publicity he has given the National Tequila Party Movement — a female-led political movement.
