Rosemont Copper’s Political Manipulation

by on Aug. 27, 2012, under National Forest, Pima County, Rosemont copper

With a faith born from talking to my fellow citizens of Arizona, I believe that the election tomorrow will deliver a defeat to Rosemonts personal candidate (Sean Collins). The Board of Supervisors representative for district 4 (Ray Carroll) has shown his eloquence, knowledge and expertise to anyone who has taken the opportunity to either converse with him or study the facts concerning the accusations orchestrated and financed By Rosemont Copper and its public relations division.

Just a few highlights that I wish for you my neighbors to recall.

WHO CAN FORGET??

Number one

Dan Ryan and Rod pace claimed that the Rosemont tours were the number two tourist attraction in Arizona?

Number two

Randy Graf, a paid public relations consultant of Rosemont copper is actually the one running Sean Collins campaign.

Number three

Sean Collins made the claim, very public, that he was military hero of the year 2000, trying to make a civilian award appear to be an actual military award. Actually it was an award by the local Red Cross having nothing to do with the military.

Number four

Sean Collins is a one item candidate, that item is not jobs, but the item is to ensure Rosemont copper gets its permits.

Number five           .

Sean Collins claims Association with the Cienega Rotary club,a group which he actually walked out on.

Number six            .

Sean Collins claims Association with the Vail Community Action Board when actually he was ejected from the Association for non-attendance.

Number seven        .

I have reports that show Sean Collins uses his position as architectural committee (the only member of the architectural committee) to favor his friends and punish his enemies by utilizing the power of the homeowners association.

Number eight

Supervisor Carroll has held his composure and shown his ability and his knowledge concerning the necessary requirements for the position.

For once, everyone needs to make a studied consideration concerning our District 4 Board of Supervisors representative. On one hand, we have supervisor Ray Carroll.

A man who cares for his constituents and is honest and forthcoming in his statements and on the other hand, we have a gentleman who has ran one of the dirtiest campaigns.

That I have ever seen in Arizona. I use that term “gentleman” in a rather sarcastic and loose example.

      Randy Graf, if you wish to post a comment on this story then perhaps it would be best to keep your comment related to the story. My comment concerning you was that you are a paid consultant for Rosemont copper and it appears your principal duties at the moment is to hold Sean Collins hand and perhaps arrange a few dirty tricks. My comment concerning you had nothing to do with the number of permits. What I want my neighbors to know and understand is that you are handling Sean Collins and his campaign, where he goes you go, either whispering in his ear or on your cell phone getting more directions.

      If you reply, reply to my comments about you and your candidate. I don’t need any smart remarks concerning how many permits Pima County has to give. My opinion of Sean Collins is not very high but I feel that he and you are good pair.

      You make comments the same way that you drive, bullying, pressuring and misdirection. I will leave your comment here and any others you wish to make unless you try misdirection from the story. The thing is, this blog is not bought and paid for by Rosemont, this blog is mine to give the citizens of Pima County the other side of the coin.

      So if Rosemont has nothing to gain by influencing our political campaigns, then why are they? A foreign corporation should not be allowed to participate in any financing of a candidate or in any way be allowed to become involved in our politics, yet Rosemont does. Please don’t try to tell me they are an American corporation because Augusta’s subsidiary Rosemont copper is incorporated in Colorado. That crap don’t fly with me!
