My home state of Arizona has gone nuts!

My home state of Arizona has gone nuts! It isn't just the usual independent western states ideology I grew up with. It is something far more insane. It is a way of thinking that is driving my state into the ground.

If you have been following our state legislators since last year, you know all about
SB 1070. This is the law that seeks to remedy illegal immigration issue in Arizona. It is currently under review by the courts.

What really gripes my wagger is that the legislature is putting together a whole new set of laws to challenge illegal immigration and the Federal Government.

This is the wrong approach for our state. These lawmakers must understand that the road they are traveling just makes us less attractive to businesses, and families that might relocate here. The bills, for example, make hospitals and schools check citizenship. They would make any baby born to an illegal parent a non-citizen, despite Federal law. They have formed a legislative committee to decide which laws Arizona has to follow. If we don't like them, we can ignore the Feds.

It has gotten so bad that my home county of Pima is considering seceding from the state, because the views at the Capitol are so far right of the majority of its citizens. The response up here in Phoenix hasn't been great. The majority of idiots on AZcentral.com say great!! Goodbye! We don't need you liberal peons, or your money.

This is not the majority view in this state. Neither are the views on illegal immigration.

There are a lot of us who live here who are appalled at the agenda of Russell Pearce and Jan Brewer. We are moderates, whether democrat or republican, who believe our state should represent our best interests. Right now it seems our state is only pandering to the worst.

We are not all crazy, anti-fed, gun nuts. Some of us just want to live in safety and peace, and raise our children. This notion is receding with every lame brained idea our humble legislature puts into law. Gods help us. AKB:}
