County Attorney, Bill Montgomery, Could Use Our Support

Alinsky Agitator Parraz received the following letter from Maricopa County Attorney, Bill Montgomery, after he requested a meeting to "discuss" Joe Arpaio.  Since Alinsky Agitator Parraz posted the letter in a public forum, it was clear how "confidential" he chose to keep the correspondence.

You can view the video of the events from January 31, 2012 which Mr. Montgomery referred to, here. 

Even after being inundated with more bully letters from Alinsky Agitator Parraz's posse, the response was the same:

 Thank you for your email.  I think you are referring to “Citizens for a Better Arizona.” I am willing to meet with any person or group truly interested in helping to better our community. When I see that demonstrated by this particular group, I will be willing to see if a meeting would be productive. Until then, I will endeavor to do my job on behalf of the people of Maricopa County.
Sincerely,

Bill Montgomery
Maricopa County Attorney 

We  applaud Mr. Montgomery for not giving in to the Alinsky bully tactics of the left by allowing them to have a pulpit to spew their hate.  We think he could use some emails of encouragement and support.

Rick Romley Pals Around With Parraz And Other Liberal Leftists

It is widely known that Andrew Thomas and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (particularly Don Stapley and Mary Rose Wilcox) engaged in a high-profile feud which began in 2008.

It ended with the disbarment of Andrew Thomas.

In April 2010, the Board of Supervisors appointed Rick Romley as the Interim Maricopa County Attorney when Andrew Thomas resigned to run for Arizona Attorney General.

Which brings us to today.
We discovered last week that Romley participated on a panel for an event sponsored by the same group who headed the Russell Pearce recall effort and constantly harasses Joe Arpaio, Citizens for a Better Arizona.  It now seems a whole lot clearer as to WHY he accepted the invitation. 

Here's a preview of what Romley said:

"Let me first thank Chad, Randy and Julie for this.  It's a true, true privilege.  When Randy asked me to be on the panel, I of course, said 'yes'.  It's a true honor and he asked me to speak on the Department of Justice regarding the violations of civil rights....(Joe Arpaio's office)"

He then went on to list his recommendations for the DOJ:

1.  The longer it takes for the DOJ to investigate, they lose credibility.

"Joe Arpaio is masterful at manipulating the media in such a way that we begin to lose sight of what it is about.  I know this for a fact because it's what he did when I was County Attorney."

2.  No more negotiations.

"It's time the public become aware of the specifics of the allegations that are out there.  And only with that transparency, we as a nation, as a community, can stand up and say, 'this is NOT acceptable'.  That transparency, regardless of the cost, and I say to the Obama administration, I know it will be expensive, regardless of the cost, it's better to go to court to stop the lies that continue to come out of the Sheriff's office and now the County Attorney's office."

Also in attendance;

Paul.Castanada from the AFL-CIO, Roberto. Reveles (immigration activist who donated to CBA and Senator Jerry Lewis), Lilia.Alvarez (purported wife of Randy.Parraz and running against Kunasek for the Board of Supervisors) and of course, the self-proclaimed token "Republican", Chad.Snow.




Raquel.Teran didn't miss the opportunity to hit the campaign trail to attend the meeting sporting what appears to be her "Raquel.Teran for Senate" pin.  Standing on the right is Brian.Barabe, one of the founders of Parraz's first organizations to oust Senator Pearce called "East Valley Patriots for American Values".

Of course, Parraz and token "Republican" Snow wouldn't miss out on a photo op with their friend,

Board of Supervisor Mary Rose.Wilcox.  Notice the photo on display in the background.

Phoenix Human Relations Commission

What a surprise to discover that at least two members of the Phoenix Human Relations Commission are directly involved with Randy Parraz.

Well, not really.

They have recently called to have the 17 member commission force Joe Arpaio to step down.  Thirteen voted for the measure.  What happened to the other 4?

This is probably what Carlos Galindo meant when he said, "working their way AROUND the electoral process" .

Gilbert Watch has exposed who some of these Commissioners really are.  Of course, knowing that they are appointed by the Phoenix Mayor and City Council will give you an idea about how far left they might lean.


The Co-chair of the PHRC is Dan Martinez.  We remember Dan from his visit to the Mesa City Council meeting when he tried to push for the Mesa Compact.  Dan Martinez started the East Valley Patriots for American Values along with Randy Parraz in the fall 2010.

                                              (Saul Solis -L, Dan Martinez - C, Brian Barabe - R)

Lilia Alvarez is Parraz's "left" hand gal and apparently, the two are married to each other.  She also graduated in 2010 from the Emerge Arizona Leadership training program designed to create "women leaders for a democratic future."  In 2011, she attended the Center for Progressive Leadership Fellowship program.

Also in her 2010 Emerge Arizona class was a Janice Blackmon who, coincidentally, is ALSO a member of the PHRC.  She is currently serving as the LD13 Democrat District Chairman.  Blackmon also "recently completed the Planned Parenthood's Local Progressive Candidate Leadership Program" which is another course organized by the Center for Progressive Leadership. 

This will need to be addressed in a blog entry all its own. 

Yet another graduate from the same Emerge Arizona class was Wenona Benally.  She is married to Sal Baldenegro who is running for the State House in LD2.  Wenona, on the other hand, has her sites on DC and is currently running for US Congress in CD1.  She is endorsed by the Progressive Democrats of America.

Suppose with all of these "coincidences" that there MIGHT be a conflict of interest on the Commission's part?
