Russell Pearce w/ White Supremacist J.T. Ready
Arizona is making history once again (and this time in a nice, non-racist way!)
For the first time in the history of the United States, a State Senate President has been officially recalled. But this is not just any Senate President, it is our favorite one: Russell Pearce. You know, the main sponsor of SB1070, a man who has ties to white supremacists, the legislator behind proposals to deny citizenship to children. Yup, we’re pretty excited about this.
Early this year, Citizens for a Better Arizona launched a campaign to recall Pearce and, through some sexy grassroots organizing, they were able to gather more than enough signatures to officially put Pearce on the hot seat. Yesterday, July 8th, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett notified Gov. Jan Brewer (can we recall her too?) that the petitions exceed the minimum number of signatures required by the Arizona Constitution. Actually, more than 2,500 signatures over the required number.
So what happens next? Well, Russell Pearce has two very simple options: he could resign in the next 5 business days or he could run in a special recall election. If Pearce decides to go down the hard way, Gov. Brewer will have to set a date for the election, which will most likely take place in November. I’m sure he’s looking forward to it already.
Over the past year, we have seen how SB1070 and similar laws have hurt our communities and forced good people to live in fear. This is not just about Russell Pearce, but it is a message that will reach politicians in Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, Pennsylvania to let them know that this hate towards immigrants will not be tolerated.
I wonder what Pearce thinks of the “extreme leftist anarchists” now.
Congratulations to Citizens for a Better Arizona, their dedication for true justice and freedom without prejudice paid off. Now time to unite in a common voice and Vote!! PHOENIX RISING
No. Phoenix will become a bigger dump if people like you win, but fortunately, like that Che idiot people like you love to idolize, you will lose.
Meaningless. All you did was cost Arizona money. You have no guarantee he will lose that vote, AND
he was up for re-election in any case.
All that has been proven is that your spiteful and vindictive.
Though there is nothing new under this sun, this also has meaning. In this case the word that describes the outcome is vindicated not vindictive. We wish Mr.Pearce luck in future endeavour just not those of spite and oppression. The truth and love will prevail above all.
and YOU get to determine what truth and love are?
Arrogance is unbecoming in a person asking others for favors.
I suspect Mr Pearce will win re-election, and pursue his interests with renewed fervor.
All you have done is validate him.
You are right Warum,I’am no one, just concerned about the good for others. I don’t wish to assert my beliefs on others and you owe me any favors for you are not my Savior. Hugs and kisses to this sites most dedicated member, Thank you for always keeping us on your mind and making this cause relevant Warum. Being legally recognized as an American is a worthy cause until then God bless this mess. Bye
I recognize you as a criminal, very likely NOT a US citizen.
I personally think that Russell Pearce will win reelection because he is the champion for those who feel that undocumented immigrants are the reason for all of America’s problems. There are a lot of those folks in Arizona. This is exactly the same type of crowd that worships the groud the Joe Arpaio walks on. No wonder he has been in office for so long.
