Saul Alinsky. We Were Spot On.

Andrew Breitbart was preparing to vet President Obama before his untimely death.  His spirit, however, will live on.

The first of many anticipated installments appeared yesterday entitled:

The Vetting, Part I: Barack's Love Song To Alinsky

The piece mentions how Alinsky was happy about manipulating the Christian community to back his programs.   We already suspected this was the strategy since many of his alliances include "faith-based" organizations which typically have the word "interfaith" in their title.

Arizona Interfaith Network

Valley Interfaith Project

Northern Arizona Interfaith Council

One Arizona Interfaith Leaders

Pima County Interfaith Council

Yuma County Interfaith Council

Remember, the community organizer behind the Russell Pearce recall effort, Randy Parraz, was trained in Dallas at the Alinsky Industrial Areas Foundation.

Remember, also, that one of the tactics was to publicly attempt to get political leaders to sign agreements before a large assembly of their constituents like the recent Arizona Accord or Mesa Compact. 

The same kind of agreement which people like newly elected Senator, Jerry Lewis, along with countless members of the LDS faith were more than happy to endorse. Thus, willingly and ignorantly aligning themselves with the tactics and philosophies of Saul Alinsky.

You do what you can with what you have and

clothe it with moral garments

 The same Alinsky whose ideals shaped who President Obama is today.

The same Alinsky who has prepared an army that will test the faith of members of the LDS church should Romney win the Republican nomination.  Including those who have already proven themselves to be fools.

The first thing you need to understand is that the political Left in America operates an Alinsky Death Star that it aims at those who stand in the way of Barack Obama’s re-election. The Left was exiled in the political wilderness for 30 years until Obama’s election; Leftists will not give up control of the country easily and will employ every attack in their arsenal to secure Obama a second term. There is no “stun” setting on the Alinsky Death Star — the one and only setting is “obliterate” and it’s being powered up to hit Salt Lake City with laser-focused persecution and ridicule you’ve clearly never imagined possible. Because Romney is not only a Mormon but served in key leadership positions in your church, Mormons and Mormonism will be targets in the all-out-war the Left wages to keep Obama in power this summer and fall.


Wheats and tares.


  

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.

Other members of the

Phoenix Human Relations Commission include:

Diane D'Angelo, Chair   political writer,  helps the commission get the word out to the leftist organizations of Commission meetings like the most recent regarding Arpaio.

Terry Gunnell  Arizona State leader for AmeriCorp

Mel Hannah   Director of Community Outreach for the Urban League, Co-chair of Protect Arizona's Freedom  (other members include: Former U.S. Senator Dennis DeConcini, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, Daniel R. Ortega, Jr., Kyrsten Sinema, Alessandra Soler Meetze- ACLU, Bill Straus, Anti-Defamation League and fellow PHRC member, Lindsey Walker- SEIU)

Isaac Hernandez   One of the lawyers in a lawsuit in 2008 against Joe Arpaio whose plaintiffs included Somos America, ACLU, Arizona ACLU,  MALDEF, Steptoe and Johnson.  The lawsuit was over alleged "racial profiling".  Co-chair Hispanic Law Students assoc/La Raza, expertise in counseling employers regarding discrimination, harassment, retaliation, medical leave, disability, wage and hour, wrongful termination, and non-compete issues and representing employers in state and federal court and before the National Labor Relations Board.

Nikki Hicks   community volunteer coordinator for the Cesar Chavez Foundation, Save the Family Foundation

LaShawn Jenkins   lawyer, Phoenix Urban League

Laurie Provost  Facilitator for the Anti-defamation League, GLBT educator

Bill Straus   Arizona regional director of the Anti-defamation League, called on an investigation of Arpaio back in 2008, see Mel Hannah above.


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

The Arizona Compact

Introduced April 2011

Before learning they needed to start on a smaller scale:

ALL ROADS LEAD TO RADICAL part 2

By Former Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson
October 25, 2011

...the Chamber of Commerce and other business associations had launched conferences and lobbying efforts at the state level through a group called ImmigrationWorks USA, a coalition of businesses working to promote comprehensive immigration reform. If there was ever going to be a conservative player in the amnesty fight, it would be here. The public tends to think of businessmen as conservative on political policy.

The point man for ImmigrationWorks USA is Todd Landfried. Earlier in his career, Landfried worked for the Clinton Administration's "reinventing government team" and also worked with Vice President Al Gore's "Intergovernmental Team." After leaving Washington, Landfried had a Democratic-oriented radio program in Phoenix for several years which one newspaper called a "far-lefty" program. He recently served as the Executive Director of the Maricopa County (Phoenix area) Democratic Party organization and subsequently as a party officer.

Under the direction of ImmigrationWorks USA, he chaperones the Compact on its tour through the states and lobbies it before state legislatures. He also presents the Compact to the public as a conservative document in ImmigrationWorks USA conferences. His audience is unaware of his liberal history and beliefs or the background of the founder of ImmigrationWorks USA.

The Board of Directors of ImmigrationsWorks USA:

Randel K. Johnson- He is a senior Vice President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce responsible for labor, immigration, and employee benefits issues before Congress. Further, Johnson is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Immigration Forum, the mastermind of the Utah Compact. Johnson's three-way board membership links the major groups who created the Utah Compact and are pushing for amnesty.

Marshall Fitz-  Director of Immigration Policy at the aforementioned Center for American Progress. Before he came to ImmigrationWorks USA, Fitz served as Director of Advocacy for the American Immigration Lawyers Association, a big promoter of comprehensive immigration reform. The AILA has close ties to the National Lawyers Guild, which is tied to the Communist Party.

Jim Kolbe -  Former Arizona Congressman.  Kolbe sits on the Board of the Mexico Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The Mexico Institute "seeks to improve understanding, communication, and cooperation between Mexico and the United States by promoting original research, encouraging public discussion, and proposing policy options for enhancing the bilateral relationship," with particular attention to security cooperation, economic integration, and migration.

Andrew Selee-  ...the Director of the Mexico Institute, is also a board member of ImmigrationWorks USA... an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University, is an associate of the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations (COMEXI) and a member of the Mexican Collective for Security and Democracy (CASEDE). He has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relation's Independent Task Force on Immigration, chaired by Jeb Bush and Thomas F. MacLarty; as well as a steering committee member of the Migration Policy Institute's Task Force on Immigration and America's Future.

Their ultimate goal has always been to erase the border between the U.S. and Mexico, U.S. sovereignty notwithstanding.

ImmigrationWorks USA sponsored a national conference in Washington, D.C., in July to make a little more noise about the Utah Compact and keep the issue in front of Congress. In a meeting with U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) the day before the conference began, immigration advocates settled on their new spin, which was really an old spin known as "the economic argument." After the meeting, Schumer told Politico reporters, "We decided we ought to start highlighting the fact that immigration creates jobs rather than takes them away .... Everyone agreed that is how we are going to start talking about immigration, as a job creator."

While Hispanic activists stage protests outside state legislatures, the "suits" come inside and give testimony before legislative committees about how reasonable and how conservative comprehensive immigration reform is. The "suits" are the calm, respectable voice of the movement. While the protestors figuratively beat up on the legislators, the "suits" speak gently and softly, a welcome relief from the shouting demonstrators outside the state building. Like a good cop/bad cop operation, the vitriolic protestors with their Saul Alinsky tactics wear the legislators down and the "suits" then gently lead them to the desired finish...amnesty. Working together,they surround the legislators and knead them like clay until they absorb them into willing acceptance of comprehensive immigration reform. Like a one-two punch, they think that the legislators and Congress will fall for the trap.

The Utah Compact was dreamed up by radicals, facilitated by radicals, fine-tuned by radicals, and funded by radicals. Now it's slithering from state to state, escorted by radicals who would have you believe that it's nothing more than a nice little conservative message.

But make no mistake. There are NO conservatives who support the Utah Compact except for some who mistook its statement of principles as well intended. Taken singly, we can all agree with some of its principles. But taken in its entirety, the Compact is devilishly deceptive and manipulative.

Wherever you live, you can expect the Utah Compact to show up in your state, pushed by coalitions of churches, Chambers of Commerce, and other business groups.

The Mesa Compact Unveiled

The Mesa Compact

A Declaration of Five Principles to Guide

Mesa's Immigration Discussion

FEDERAL SOLUTIONS:  Immigration is a federal policy issue between the U.S. government and other countries--not Arizona and other countries.

LAW ENFORCEMENT:  Local law enforcement resources should focus on criminal activities, not civil violations of federal law.

FAMILIES:  Strong families are the foundation of successful communities.  We oppose policies that unnecessarily separate families.

ECONOMY:  Mesa is best served by a free-market philosophy that maximizes individual rights, responsibilities and opportunity.  Mesa's immigration climate must affirm our global reputation as a welcoming and business-friendly city.

A FREE SOCIETY:  We must adopt a humane approach to the realities of immigration, reflecting our unique culture, history and spirit of inclusion.  The way we treat each other defines us.

Compare to the UTAH COMPACT:

THE UTAH COMPACT

A declaration of five principles to guide Utah’s immigration discussion

FEDERAL SOLUTIONS Immigration is a federal policy issue between the U.S. government and other countries—not Utah and other countries. We urge Utah’s congressional delegation, and others, to lead efforts to strengthen federal laws and protect our national borders. We urge state leaders to adopt reasonable policies addressing immigrants in Utah.

LAW ENFORCEMENT We respect the rule of law and support law enforcement’s professional judgment and discretion. Local law enforcement resources should focus on criminal activities, not civil violations of federal code.

FAMILIES Strong families are the foundation of successful communities. We oppose policies that unnecessarily separate families. We champion policies that support families and improve the health, education and well-being of all Utah children.

ECONOMY Utah is best served by a free-market philosophy that maximizes individual freedom and opportunity. We acknowledge the economic role immigrants play as workers and taxpayers. Utah’s immigration policies must reaffirm our global reputation as a welcoming and business-friendly state.

A FREE SOCIETY Immigrants are integrated into communities across Utah. We must adopt a humane approach to this reality, reflecting our unique culture, history and spirit of inclusion. The way we treat immigrants will say more about us as a free society and less about our immigrant neighbors. Utah should always be a place that welcomes people of goodwill.

Who wrote the Utah Compact?

ALL HANDS ON DECK! GIRD YOUR LOINS!

From the leftist recall organizer, Randy Parraz:

CALL FOR SUPPORT:  The East Valley Patriots for American Values need our support tomorrow evening at the Mesa City Council meeting.  On November 8th, the voters of Mesa sent a powerful message to end the divisive and extreme brand of politics of former Senate President Pearce.  At the meeting, leaders of EVP will again introduce the Mesa Compact which consists of 5 basic principles to help facilitate a civil and productive dialogue on immigration.  We need you there!  Thanks for your support.

 Monday, December 5th at 5:30PM
 Mesa City Council Chambers 57 E First Street


DO NOT ALLOW PARRAZ AND HIS FOLLOWERS TO BE THE ONLY ONES IN ATTENDANCE!  A UTAH STYLE COMPACT CAN NOT BE ALLOWED IN OUR CITIES AND STATE!

The East Valley Patriots For American Values was another organization created by Randy Parraz along with Brian Barabe, Dan Martinez and Saul Solis after he lost in the Senate primaries in 2010.  The purpose of the organization was to go after Russell Pearce.

"They plan to launch their first major effort in early 2011

by drafting their own version of the Utah Compact,

which business, community and religious leaders

drafted as an alternative to Arizona's immigration law."

We already know that Jerry Lewis supported a Utah-style compact in Arizona.  We also know that members of the Mesa City Council endorsed Jerry Lewis for Senate.  Looks like it wouldn't take much to get a majority vote in Parraz's favor.

Dave Richins openly endorsed Lewis
