Arizona State Senator, Russell Pearce, Recall Election: When Libs Get Mad
Longer than usual, but necessary. The Left is assaulting us at the local, state and national level...we must fight back, AND WIN, and each level. From Jo Darling.
------------------------------------------
Not all of you live within Arizona's Legislative District 18 but most of you, I am sure, have heard of the recall election that has been taking place against Senate President Russell Pearce. Over the past couple of weeks I have felt the need to send you all an email and explain what is really going on with the recall election.
The recall planning has been taking place since about a year before Russell Pearce was re-elected into office in 2010. The man who filed the recall and has organized signature gatherers, etc. is Randy Parraz is a union organizer who has taught racist courses at ASU teaching that Hispanics were robbed of their land by the whites and have been oppressed ever since. He is a left wing progressive who is pro-homosexual marriage, pro-abortion, pro-socialism, anti-guns, etc.
Randy Parraz is not from Arizona and nobody in his organization lives within the boundaries of Russell's district (LD 18) except for one person who was needed in order to file the recall. Even though Randy's group "Citizens for a Better Arizona" is comprised of people who do not lie in LD18, they felt the need to decide for us who we do and don't want to represent us. They poured an estimated $75,000+ just into paying hired signature gathers. This effort began over a year before Russell was elected back into office in 2010 and took almost 2 years to gather enough signatures.
Randy Parraz was educated at Berkley (one of the nation’s most liberal Universities) and was later trained by some of the most radical and progressive people in America to be an effective community organizer (much like Barack Obama). He was trained and has trained many others to do the same. He was later sent to Arizona (lives in Scottsdale) with a Mission to turn Arizona into a Democratic Blue State. I first met Randy Parraz in front of the Mesa Public Library where he and a group of his cronies were gathering recall signatures. I was wearing a "Vote Russell Pearce" T-shirt (I have 5 of them and wear them frequently) as they noticed I was a Pearce supporter Randy and one of his progressive thugs began to physically assault me by pushing into me and stepping on my feet and not letting me go. As I asked them politely to get off of my foot and let me go, they began telling me to leave or they will call the cops and tell them that I was physically assaulting THEM! My Dad was there and was the only witness besides Randy Parraz and his 10 friends. This is the kind of people who are behind this recall election.

The plan all along was not to recruit a democratic candidate to run against Russell in the recall election, but to find a Republican (any Republican) to run against him. The reason for this is because Russell has accomplished and continues to accomplish more for conservatism and American values than any other legislator in our generation. Jerry Lewis is being used as a pawn in this left wing scam and it is extremely disheartening to see many good people join the ranks on the Jerry Lewis side. Jerry Lewis is a good man but I can assure you that if elected into office, he will not accomplish much if anything in the Arizona Senate. This is exactly what the liberals want and it has been the goal of the far left all along. To put on the breaks for conservatism in LD18, not to pull a U-turn.
I was talking to a member of Jerry's campaign telling him that after viewing Jerry's interview on PBS and other programs and looking at his platform on his campaign website it became apparent to me that he only gives lofty goals like "I want Arizona to be a great place for students" or "I want Arizona to be a great place for businesses" or but those are goals that are given by Republicans and Democrats alike. I told the member of his campaign that I noticed even when he is given direct questions on what specific plans he has in mind to accomplish those goals or what he will do differently than Senator Pearce, he skirts around the issues and doesn't give any plans as to how he plans on achieving those goals. The member of his campaign admitted to me that Jerry does not yet know how to accomplish those goals and doesn't have a plan yet. I was also speaking to another member of his campaign and he admitted to me that he knows that Jerry will not accomplish much as Senator Pearce. Both of these instances were direct conversations that I had with members of his campaign committee and were not "hearsay".
The recall effort is a nonsensical abuse of our electoral process and it is an assault on our constitution. Recalls were meant to be used in events of corruption, dishonesty, malicious activity, or violations of the law. Russell is guilty of none of those things and he is the most honest, moral legislator we have in the State of Arizona. He does not compromise his values for campaign contributions, he does not exchange votes with other legislators, he does not back down when cheap labor groups, Randy Parraz, the democratic party or the labor unions threaten him with a recall. And he does not compromise his values because his decisions might not be popular.
Russell Pearce has the courage, the integrity and the experience that LD 18 needs right now and I urge everyone who is currently on the fence or leaning in favor of Jerry Lewis to look at their records and to look at who is behind the recall effort. I urge you all to look at Russell's track record. Study our constitution. There is more at stake in this election that we understand. Socialism has been slowly creeping into our government’s policies, our federal government has slowly grown larger and larger outside of the constitutional limitations it was given by our founding fathers, states’ rights have slowly been taken away by the federal government, our freedoms have slowly been taken away, and morality and God have slowly but surely been dismissed from the debate. Russell is the only legislator who protects the constitution, our freedoms, and our values without compromise. He has never stopped protecting our freedoms.
The recall election is an unfair election because there is no primary or general election. There will be 3 Republican candidates that will be voted on by not only their Republican peers (as in a primary election) but also by all Independents and Democrats. This means that the 30% of LD 18 which is Democrat will vote for Jerry Lewis, and most of the Independents. This means that Jerry Lewis might win with only 15-20% of the Republican vote. I think that it is sad that Jerry Lewis could win this election without even coming close to acquiring a majority of support from the party that he professes to represent.
I know that many of you don't agree with Russell on all the issues. That's alright. As Russell puts it "those of you who are married know that you can often disagree with those you love most." Whether you agree with Russell 95% of the time or 75% of the time, I promise you that this recall election is more than a election against two opposing views. This is an election that will decide the fate of Arizona politics forever. Jerry Lewis is being used as a pawn by Randy Parraz and his progressive ‘handlers’! The disinformation media campaign is in full swing.

I will not allow Randy Parraz to manipulate my district for his agenda. If Russell loses in this recall election, recall elections could very well become a popular tool that the left will continue to use against the most conservative leaders in Arizona.
Here is a very abbreviated list of just a few of Russell's accomplishments as an AZ legislator. No other legislator in my generation has had the moral convictions, work ethic, and love for our Constitution and for God as Russell does and nobody has or will accomplish more than he has.
