ARIZONA MUST DEFEAT RECALL MEASURE RESPECTING PEARCE

REPUBLICAN MAJORITY CAMPAIGN 2020 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Suite 639 Washington, DC 2006-1811

Join With Sheriff Joe Arpaio to Save Russell Pearce from Recall

Dear Patriot,

Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce, the author of the famous Arizona Senate Bill 1070, the toughest anti-illegal immigration bill in the country, is under attack! There are only 24 days remaining to save Senator Pearce from defeat in a recall election in Arizonaon November 8th. SB 1070, Arizona's tough anti-illegal alien law, was adopted by the Arizona Legislature, and signed into law by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, last year. Within days of passage, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., started spreading lies about SB 1070. He said that police would run roughshod over the citizenry of Arizona, demanding to see their "papers”. He directed the U. S. Justice Department to file suit against SB 1070 in court. He falsely claimed that families would be harassed by the police while simply buying ice cream. United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton actually went to the United Nations, and issued an apology to the world for Arizona's "sin” of passing SB 1070. She cited the Justice Department suit against SB 1070 in a U.N. report as evidence that the U.S. was fighting to uphold "human rights”. All that Arizona, and, specifically, Senator Pearce, was trying to do was to protect the citizens of Arizona from the criminal and economic impact of illegal aliens in their state! The mainstream media spread the same lie as Barack Obama, in an effort to scare Latino voters into supporting liberal Democrats, especially Mr. Obama's 2012 Presidential campaign, and opposing Republican candidates. What SB 1070 does is to obligate the police in Arizona to check the immigration status of persons subject to lawful stops, detention, or arrest, IF there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is an illegal alien. It also contained provisions making it illegal to conceal, harbor, or shield an illegal alien, or to encourage an alien to immigrate to the state. In other words, SB 1070 was the same as the federal laws against illegal immigration. SB 1070 was one of the most important anti-illegal immigration measures in U.S. history, and, with its passage, and Arizona Governor Brewer signing it into law, the idea immediately began to spread to other states. This was unacceptable to liberal Democrats, open borders advocates, radical Hispanic groups, and leftist activists from coast to coast—and, according to the radical left, for the crime of introducing SB 1070, Senator Pearce had to be punished. Led by a labor union organizer and Democratic Party activist, and funded and supported by a roll call of far left pro- illegal immigration organizations, with names like "Voice of the Revolution”, Festival de Resistencia”, "Free Alto Arizona”, they vowed to force Senator Pearce into a recall election. Russell Pearce is a fifth generation Arizonan, who has spent his life in public service. When he couldn't afford to go to medical school, he joined the Sheriff's Department in Maricopa County. He and his wife LuAnne have been together over 30 years, and they have raised five children. Senator Pearce was a Sheriff's deputy for 23 years, and he served as Chief Deputy Sheriff under Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He received the Medal of Valor after being shot in the chest by while pursuing gang members. His son, Sean, followed him into law enforcement, and he was also shot in the line of duty while serving a homicide warrant on an illegal alien. He too received the Medal of Valor. Senator Pearce also served as a Justice of the Peace, and a leader in the Boy Scouts and Pop Warner Football. In 2000, Russell Pearce was elected to the Arizona State Legislature. Ten years later, he was elected President of the Arizona State Senate. Along the way, Senator Pearce battled voter fraud and welfare fraud by supporting measures to require individuals to produce proof of citizenship before they may register to vote, and before they can apply for public benefits in Arizona. He was awarded the "Hero of the Taxpayer” award by the American Tax Reform Association, and he has been honored by the Arizona Taxpayers Association as a "Friend of the Taxpayer”. The Goldwater Institute honored him as #1 in voting to "Uphold the Constitution and Limited Government.” His philosophy is honest, simple and direct. If the federal government wouldn't do the job of controlling illegal immigration, Arizona would. That's why he wrote SB 1070. And that's why he's being punished by a well organized, well funded, campaign of hate. It's important for everyone, inside or outside of Arizona, to help defeat this recall. Senator Pearce ignited a national movement within the states. Fifteen other states have followed Arizona's lead and have passed, or are debating adoption of, Arizona-style anti-illegal immigration laws. Senator Pearce is being targeted by radical left wing groups from all over the country--even by groups of non-citizens from inside and outside Arizona. We cannot sit on the sidelines and allow a good man, dedicated to upholding the law, be forced out of office by a campaign of distortions, lies, and political dirty tricks. The opposition knows that a Democrat cannot defeat Pearce, so they have recruited a RINO (Republican in Name Only) named Jerry Lewis (no relation to the slapstick comedian) to run against Senator Pearce in the predominantly Republican district. Mr. Lewis claims to be a good Republican, but his statements during the campaign have revealed just how far to the left that he is on the issue of illegal immigration. Mr. Lewis is against SB 1070, and he says that he would have voted against it. During a recent debate, Mr. Lewis actually compared Arizona's effort to control the massive problem of ILLEGAL immigration to racial segregation in the deep South in the early 1960s. Mr. Lewis has also repeated the dubious claim that our country can't live without illegal alien workers, because "they do the work that Americans won't do”. With a long term unemployment rate hovering close to ten percent, the truth is that there are plenty of Americans who would take those jobs. Every poll shows the people of Arizona support SB 1070 by 2-1 margins, but the media wants everyone to believe the opposite. They are doing their best to paint Russell Pearce as a villain, even though he authored a wildly popular new law. Based on the latest reports, which show that the race is going down to the wire, we have committed to a three stage campaign to reach a carefully targeted group of 37,000 voters in the district with a message of support for Senator Russell Pearce. We made the decision to launch this effort even though we had not yet raised the funds to cover the cost. We gave the go ahead today, because we are contacting each voter three times before election day, and, as a result, the program must start right away. Each targeted voter will receive a new special message with each contact. Now, we need to raise $4,612 in the next 72 hours to pay for the first two phases of this effort. We hope that we can count on your generosity, and on your support. Senator Pearce does not deserve to be recalled. Let's make sure that he stays on the job to defend SB 1070, and to provide invaluable support for Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.

PLEASE CLICK HERE to join with us in this important campaign. Your contribution of $23.00 will help us reach 200 voters. A contribution of $57.50 will help us reach 500 voters. If you have the resources to give more, please consider doing so. A few contributions of $100, $250, $500, or more could make a big difference in this election.

Whatever you can afford to donate will be greatly appreciated. Tomorrow, we go into the studio to record our first special message to the voters of the 18th State Senate District of Arizona. The message is written so it can be broadcast on the radio and used in telephone messages to voters. Whether that message gets out to enough voters before November 8th will depend on the support that we receive from you. Recalling Russell Pearce is a national obsession of the far left. They are pulling out all the stops to force him from office. They are pouring money into last minute advertising, and they are using unscrupulous campaign tactics against him. This goes beyond Arizona. The nation is watching to see the outcome of this race. Next year, Barack Obama will have the media on his side, and he will be running the most well-funded negative campaign in history against any Republican who wins the Presidential nomination. Let's show Mr. Obama and his far left buddies that we can fight back against smears, and that we can save the career of a superb public servant like Senator Pearce. So, please, send your maximum contribution today to help us fund our campaign in this critical race. It is important that we take action now to support a man of integrity who has proven himself time and time again as a man deserving of our support. I look forward to your response today. Sincerely

Republican Majority Campaign PAC 2020 Pennsylvania NW Suite 638 Washington, DC 2006-1811
