The G.N.A.T. Represents Worsley's Idea Of "New Tone"

Considering Randy Parraz's new organization, Moving Mesa Forward just spent over $22,000 in six weeks canvasing on Bob Worsley's behalf, we thought it might be appropriate to show examples of what this "new tone" looks like.

The G.N.A.T. (Goading Noxious Alinsky Thug) Randy Parraz at a MCBOS meeting in July antagonizing Chairman Wilson:

Parraz stated that Wilson is paid to answer his questions about the Sheriff daring to use private donations on an investigation.  Which makes us wonder how much Parraz is paid to ASK the questions?  Last we saw, his community organizer salary was a six-figure number.

Watch as his trained followers do just as they are commanded:

Randy Parraz at another MCBOS in July 2012:  (did we mention his wife, Lilia Alvarez-Parraz is running against Supervisor Kunasek?)

Supervisor Kunasek responded to the G.N.A.T. by saying,

"I was intrigued by one of the editorials in the newspaper today suggesting that self-righteousness often has a weird way of walling off its practitioners from the harsh fact that they're often just acting like clowns.  You were the first one to come to mind."

Just a friendly reminder to vote for Lester Pearce for Supervisor over Steve "President of the Arizona Restaurant Association who sued the State over employer sanctions" Chucri.

More On Steve Chucri, In Case You Didn't Get The Memo Before

We vetted Steve Chucri before.

Steve Chucri is running for one of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisor positions, along with Randy Parraz's wife, Lilia Alvarez.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which way the Board would lean should they both win the election. 

We've learned by now that the Board of Supervisors meetings is where Randy Parraz and his ilk like to go and stage their feigned anger protests against people like Russell Pearce or Joe Arpaio.  You know, because they create and enforce laws that crack down on illegals.

Like this time.

And this time.

And this time.

And who can forget one of the FIRST times?

( Don Stapley caught at the Parraz Election night party at the Wright House in Mesa either before or after he showed up at Lewis' party.)

Did we mention that while Chucri was the President of the Arizona Restaurant Association, the ARA PAC donated to Jeff Flake's brother in law, Kevin Gibbons, when he attempted to run against Russell Pearce in 2008?

And that he is on the board of the Arizona Tourism Alliance who came out with an official statement on SB1070:

The Tourism Industry is deeply concerned about the repercussions that will result from the debate around Senate Bill 1070. Arizona tourism is currently in a very fragile state of recovery and the negative perceptions surrounding this legislation are tarnishing Arizona’s image and could easily have a devastating effect on visitation to our state.

The Tourism Industry was not part of the development of this legislation, but unfortunately is certain to experience the unintended consequences of the economic backlash. As we’ve seen many times in recent years, tourism is being used as leverage for a political issue with no direct connection to our industry.
Instead of driving our state’s economy even further into decline and punishing the 200,000 families who rely on tourism for their livelihoods, we proudly ask all Arizonans’ to support the diverse and global workforce that comprises the Tourism Industry and to invite friends, family, associations and businesses to visit and experience Arizona firsthand.


Chucri then went on record as having said this about SB1070:

"The Arizona Restaurant Association says business was better than expected in 2010 -- up more than $80 million over the previous year. But, President Steve Chucri wondered if it could have been better without 1070."

And this:

"Similar fears are being expressed in the restaurant industry. Steve Chucri,  president of the Arizona Restaurant Association, said some local restaurants are already feeling the affect of the new law.

"I can tell you I know that there have been cancellations of conferences," he  said, adding that that has an indirect impact to local restaurants.

Even though those who work in the restaurants are likely to be legal  immigrants, Chucri said "there's always been a sense of uneasiness since 2007,"  when the state passed a law that cracks down on employers who hire undocumented  immigrants.

"To take one's business license is serious action. When you saw that in 2007,  so many things happened. There is one thing clear: there is a need for  immigration reform in the nation," Chucri said. "When is Washington going to  wake up and answer the call?"

 (What about if our own state Senator, Raul Grijalva, hadn't called for a BOYCOTT on HIS OWN STATE? Where was his outrage over Grijalva's instigations and potential damage to the industries he represented?)
It also sounds like Mr. Chucri is still dwelling on the lawsuit he filed as President of the Arizona Restaurant Association against the State of Arizona over E-Verify in 2008.  Which is funny because just recently, Chucri said of Don Stapley, who is embroiled in legal troubles of his own,

"It's hard to ask for someone's vote, all the while suing them.  I think there's a fundamental disconnect."

Exactly how much of our tax dollars were spent defending the lawsuit Chucri filed against the state?  And now he's asking for us to vote for him too?

Shortly after E-Verify passed, Chucri alluded that the law created an increase in race-based attacks:

But other restaurant owners also have seen an increase in race-based attacks, said Steve Chucri, president and chief executive of the Arizona Restaurant and Hospitality Association, one of several business groups suing to block the employer sanctions law from taking effect on the grounds that the law is unconstitutional.

Adding it all up, it's pretty clear that Chucri isn't too fond of E-Verify and it's not looking like he's a big fan of SB1070 either.  Again, how will he be able to stand up to the pressure that awaits him should he win the election?  Will he agree to the leftist propaganda if they parade the "Arizona Accord" in front of the board?  Will he pacify the Parraz group?  The DREAM activists?  Will he vote to deny funding for our Sheriff that is intended to go towards illegal immigration enforcement as was already done by the board?


Chucri said,

"When is Washington going to wake up and answer the call?"

Is Washington the sole authority on how we can protect our citizens from those who choose to enter our country illegally?  That sounds like the same argument that the leftist "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" crowd takes.  Which sounds an awful lot like the shameless argument the DOJ used in front of the Supreme Court over the constitutionality of portions of SB1070.  It's WASHINGTON'S fault!  States don't have the authority to enforce immigration law!

We'll, we'll just have to see about that next month when the Supreme Court rules in favor of Arizona and SB1070.

Pizza, Por Favor?

Pizza Patron

Dallas Pizza Chain Giving Free Pizza For Ordering In Spanish

A local pizza chain that made waves in 2007 for accepting Mexican Pesos for payment has come up with a new way to generate some buzz for itself, offering free pizza to anyone who orders in Spanish.  Dallas-based Pizza Patron will be offering free pizza on June 5 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. to anyone who places their order in Spanish.

The promotion was announced in a company press release as a way to honor the “positive force of change immigrants have made in communities throughout America.”

Ah, yes.  Jason LeVecke, owner of the Pizza Patron and Carl's Jr. franchises.  Friend of Steve Chucri and other open borders groups.  Donor to Jeff Flake, his brother in law, Kevin Gibbons, and Kirk Adams.

We've discussed LeVecke before.

Jason LeVecke is the grandson of Carl Karcher, founder of Carl's Jr. restaurants. You may have recognized his name from the previously discussed Arizona Marcha website. Along with Jeff Flake, (who LeVecke donated $4600 to his 2008 campaign) LeVecke was also a speaker at the Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform forum on May 30, 2007. You can listen to his arguments for supporting amnesty (aka- "comprehensive immigration reform") here. He encouraged those in attendance to call or email their federal state representatives and tell them "you want comprehensive immigration reform but not with employer sanctions". He also encouraged them to become supporters of AZEIR.

The current spokesman for AZEIR is Todd Landfried. 

LeVecke is another "Republican" who has testified and fought against E-Verify in 2007/2008. As the owner of over 150 fast food restaurants, one might guess that not being able to hire illegals at low wages probably affects his bottom line.

Not only did he fight against the employer sanctions law enacted in 2008 but he also actively campaigned against Russell Pearce.

In more ways than one.

1. LeVecke was behind the PAC Wake up Arizona! which was organized alongside Mac Magruder (owner of McDonalds franchises in Arizona) to fight the newly enacted employer sanctions laws. LeVecke's group MJKL alone donated $9500 along with Wake Up Arizona's over $38k contribution to a PAC called Stop Illegal Hiring which was set up to help pass the proposed "Stop Illegal Hiring Act" or prop 202 back in 2008. Its name is intended to confuse. It was actually a law which would lessen the already enacted employer sanctions laws and required Arizona to wait until the Federal Government took action first against an employer before the state would be allowed to do anything. Prop 202 failed at the ballot box. Because Wake up Arizona is a 501 (c)6, they are not required to file campaign finance reports.

Wake Up Arizona was also a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the State of Arizona (Napolitano, Goddard and Garriott) in an effort to stop the employer sanctions law. Other plaintiffs included:

Chicanos Por La Causa, Somos America, Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform (AZEIR), Chamber of Commerce of the US, Arizona Chamber of Commerce, Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Arizona Farm Bureau Federation, Arizona Restaurant and Hospitality Association (Steve Chucri), Associated Minority Contractors of America, Arizona Roofing Contractors' Association, Arizona Landscape Contractors' Association and Arizona Contractors Association.


2. He also contributed to other PACs who would then fund Pearce's challenger, Kevin Gibbons (Jeff Flake's brother in law). Sound like a familiar strategy?

LeVecke donated to the Mesa Deserves Better PAC which exclusively donated for the purpose of "advocating defeat against Pearce".

Other political contributions which LeVecke made went to:
Kirk Adams
Rich Crandall
Kyrsten Sinema 
Phil Lopes (outspoken former progressive member of the state legislature)

In June 2009, LeVecke attended an ImmigrationWorks USA Conference in Washington DC to speak about immigration. In his speech he said,

They will tell you it is entirely appropriate for states and local government

to enforce national immigration laws. If it was intended that states enforce

national immigration laws then why is it states do not have the

right to issue visas, or allow more people in legally, or institute their own

guest worker programs? If we continue down this path of states and local governments passing immigration laws and getting involved in enforcement, we will have a patchwork of different laws across this country making it

impossible for multi state employers to manage.

That certainly sounds familiar. 

"President Obama says it would be chaotic for states to create their own immigration policies...."

Jerry Lewis:  "We cannot be the federal government's agents in doing the job that they have to do."

Chuck Schumer:  If the Supreme Court upholds the Arizona law, Schumer said, he will introduce legislation to bar Arizona and other states from enforcing immigration law without the direct consent and supervision of the federal government.

Jeff Flake:  "The federal government puts local officials, whether they are law enforcement, city council or the mayor's office, in a horrible position, having them choose between setting up a day labor center so you deal with local concerns about property values and whatever else, or trying to enforce federal immigration law when you don't have the training and resources, and in some cases, the authority to do so. It's really a difficult problem and I don't think it's going to be solved in a piecemeal fashion. That's why I advocated a comprehensive approach."

Lisa Navarrete, spokeswoman for the advocacy group National Council of La Raza, says "For people to get offended or upset at this seems a little bit silly. It doesn't preclude anybody. Anyone can say, 'por favor.'"

La Raza?  "The RACE".  Telling US not to be offended?

It's not the words 'por favor' that is offensive.  It's the deep-seeded intention behind it that is the problem. 

Border Legislative Conference

The Border Legislative Conference began in 2002 and is comprised of legislative representatives from states along the US/Mexico border.  Members meet regularly to discuss issues relating to the border.

In 2003, the BLC declared:

Whereas, the goal of the Border Legislative Conference is to empower border state legislators to engage in the binational agenda and provide input and direction in the development of policy between both countries;

 

On the subject of  IMMIGRATION:  (pay attention to the number of immigration buzz words)

The members of the Border Legislative Conference conducted an open and passionate discussion on the topic of immigration. Participating legislators strongly reaffirmed their call on the federal governments of the United States and Mexico to work towards the implementation of a comprehensive immigration accord that addresses the United States’ demand for workers and the border security needs of both countries.

Some of the concepts which were adopted at the conference included:

• Limited state resources should not be diverted to support policies and initiatives that tolerate or result in racial profiling in border communities;


• It is the United States government’s obligation to fund and oversee a well-trained Border Patrol acting consciously of basic human rights of immigrants;


• Legislation, or any acts that violate the human rights of immigrants, documented or undocumented, should be condemned. Law enforcement agencies, both federal and state, must treat all immigrants with respect and dignity and adhere to the legal rights they are entitled under state, federal or international treaties, especially the rights of minors through the utilization of procedures and programs that protect them;


• Legislation that focuses solely on enforcement will be ineffective. Border legislators support fair and comprehensive immigration legislation that balances border security concerns with recognition of the U.S. demand for workers in the numerous sectors of the U.S. labor force, including agriculture, construction, and the service economy;


• Border legislators support laws that offer a path to citizenship, under clearly defined guidelines, to immigrants who have demonstrated citizenship, paid taxes, and birthed children and grandchildren;


• A temporary worker program that allows employers to sponsor low-skilled immigrant workers to obtain residence status should be supported. Undocumented students under the age of 21 should be able to satisfy the requirements under such a program by attending an institution of higher education or a secondary school full-time;


• Border legislators support legislation that provides a larger number of employment and family-based residency cards to promote family unification and reduce backlogs in application processing;


• The ongoing implementation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, aimed at establishing a common security strategy, competitiveness, quality of life, and to promote economic growth by streamlining the secure movement of low-risk traffic across our shared borders, should be supported;


• Border legislators support legislation that authorizes additional federal funds to states and local governments for reimbursement of the indirect costs relation to the incarceration of undocumented immigrants should be supported; as well as for the health and educational needs of immigrant populations;

Discourage state legislation aimed at taxing immigrants' remittances; and border legislators recognize and respect signed international immigration agreements between United States and Mexico.

Remember 2003?  Jeff Flake, John McCain and Jim Kolbe were trying to push through their idea of "Comprehensive Immigration Reform".  It was so much to the liking of immigration activist, Frank Sherry, that his response was,

THIS IS HUGE!

Fast Forward to 2008:

Legislators from the State of Sonora presented members of the Border Legislative Conference a resolution expressing strong concerns regarding the adoption and implementation of an employer sanctions law in the State of Arizona. The law imposes penalties on employers that knowingly or intentionally hire undocumented immigrants in Arizona. The resolution was unanimously supported by Mexico members of the Border Legislative Conference. Mexico members requested the Chair and Vice Chair of the Border Legislative Conference that the document be included in the meeting minutes to ensure the expressions and concerns of the Mexico delegation regarding this law are recorded.

So, we are not allowed to pass laws and create policy unless they are first approved by other nations?  Sounds like one of the excuses the US attorney used when he argued recently in front of the Supreme Court over portions of SB1070.  What happened to sovereignty?  What are we even doing agreeing to resolutions with other countries that are not in our nation's best interest?

The Mexican BLC representatives were upset by the E-Verify bill which passed the Arizona legislature in 2007.  The same bill which sparked a lawsuit against the state of Arizona and which one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit was  Maricopa County Board of Supervisors candidate, Steve Chucri.

(Chucri, President of the Arizona Restaurant Association, is seen standing on the far right, next to Jason LeVecke, Carl's Jr. franchise owner, and Mac Magruder who owns several McDonalds franchises in the valley.  Businesses that depend on cheap labor).

There was another BLC conference held in San Diego around the same week in April 2008.  According to the minutes, they also discussed immigration:

The members of the Border Legislative Conference unanimously adopted Resolution 2005-

01 urging the federal governments of the United States and Mexico to accelerate discussions

on the topic of immigration. The resolution also expresses concerns over the current impasse

in the United States Congress on immigration reform, as well as a lack of progress on

practical and comprehensive legislative solutions to address this important matter.

They also appointed then Representative, Amanda Aguirre to the BLC Health Committee.  She certainly knows all about how to take advantage of   utilize healthcare resources at the border.

Jeff Flake was again trying to push through comprehensive immigration reform around the same time.



In 2011, the BLC claimed they supported immigration policy that included:

• ...fair and comprehensive immigration legislation that balances border security concerns with recognition of the U.S. need for workers in certain sectors, and that does not preclude them from consideration from eventual citizenship;

• A comprehensive, bipartisan immigration approach that is endorsed by immigrant advocates, and other important stakeholders such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Service Employees International Union, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and the Western Growers Association, as well as their counterparts in Mexico. Additionally, the Utah Compact, which was recently adopted, should be seriously considered by the U.S. Western States.

• ...supports a more humane and appropriate family-friendly system aimed at the legal residency of young people who were involuntarily taken to the U.S. when they were children, who attended school, and who are currently attending an institution of higher education in the U.S.;

• Increase the quotas of employment and increase family based green cards to promote family unification and reduce waiting times for the consideration of their application;

US Chamber of Commerce? 

(Director of US Chamber of Commerce in 2007 giving Flake an award at the Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform conference)

SEIU? 

(Eliseo Medina is a representative of the SEIU seen here at the Supreme Court Hearing on Arizona's immigration bill)

US Conference of Catholic Bishops?  The same group who has ties to radical organizations such as the Center for Community Change who promotes abortion and gay marriage?  (Jerry Lewis should be familiar with CCC.  They donated at least $9000 of "in kind" donations to Promise Arizona during the recall election and who then canvassed on Lewis' behalf. They also were represented at the Supreme Court hearing.)

Western Growers Association?
The same group who signed off on the Arizona Accord along with groups like Chicanos por la Causa, IAF affiliated organizations, and Jerry Lewis?  The group that bemoans any kind of enforcement legislation to combat illegal immigration?

Did we mention that Rep Russ Jones is one of the members of the BLC appointed to represent Arizona?

Kirk Adams And Fellow Bill Co-Sponsor Phil Lopes

We have mentioned the Guest Worker Bill that Kirk Adams co-sponsored in 2008 along with fellow Representative Phil Lopes and a slew of other leftist/Progressives in the legislature.

There has been talk about how Progressive Rep. Lopes was while he was in the House.  Let's take a closer look at just HOW Progressive former Rep. Lopes really is....

Aside from his being the Coordinator of the Tucson Progressive Democrats of America.....

(Progressive Democrats of America was founded in 2004 to transform

 the Democratic Party and our country.)

One video of former Rep. Lopes shows him speaking at a Tucson Progressives Conference in April 2011.  He says,

We want to try to move the Democratic agenda in our

Progressive, Liberal direction. We have

1.  Co sponsored the End the Wars Peace march

2.  Co sponsored the Solidarity MLK march

3.  Worked with Moveon.org on their event supporting the Wisconsin workers

4.  Peace Fair/Parade honoring Cesar Chavez

5.  Again with Moveon.org, we did a protest of Bank of America

6.  Wrote a letter to Pima County Board of Supervisors opposing their action to remove retirees under sixty-five years of age from their HMO plan

7.  Co hosted with the Arizona Advocacy Network to save Arizona Clean Elections

8.  Participated in events related to the Senator Pearce recall

He then introduced Senator Grijalva who at one point stated that there would be a Congressional Progressive Caucus tour which would go to cities around the country and

talk about the budget, talk about jobs and beat up on the opposition......so we're gonna make crow.

This was a video of Rep. Lopes at a recent Progressive Democrats of Arizona Caucus in January 2012.  Also in attendance were Fred Barlam (with Randy Parraz's group Citizens for a Better Arizona and donor to Jerry Lewis), Carolyn Cooper (also with Parraz's group), and Todd Landfried (Spokesman for Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform and Jerry Lewis supporter).

He offered advice to those in attendance.  He said,

How do we energize, motivate our 800 plus members?  There's one thing we can all do relatively easily and that is when you have a parade of candidates coming up here, think about the issues that are important to Progressives.  Think about Medicare for all.  Think about publicly financed elections.  Think about clean energy and clean air and think about getting out of Afghanistan....the better question should be
 'WILL YOU VOTE FOR MEDICARE FOR ALL...SINGLE PAYER?' 
 DEMAND AN ANSWER!

Good advice.  I think those who have the opportunity, should ask the same of Republican candidates, including Kirk Adams, Jeff Flake, Steve Chucri and Don Stapley. 

WILL YOU VOTE AGAINST ANY COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM BILLS? 

WILL YOU NOT SUPPORT ANY FORM OF NON-BINDING IMMIGRATION COMPACT OR ACCORD?

Kirk Adams' Campaign Donors

We have done an extensive amount of research recently on campaign donations to various candidates and PACs.  This is a list of some of the donors to Kirk Adams' campaign in 2009 for the 2010 election cycle.  There were certainly some interesting discoveries.  The most obvious being that a majority of the donors were CEOs or who held high level positions in fields of healthcare, law, lobbying, government affairs and consulting.  Many of those CEO names appeared on the famous letter sent by "60 CEOs" encouraging a hold on future immigration legislation back in March 2011.  According to the Chamber,

"The Chamber says the letter's purpose is to voice concerns

 over the unintended consequences to Arizona's image and economy

 created by the immigration legislation under discussion at the Legislature."

PERCEIVED unintended consequences. 

We'll look more in depth as to who those CEOs are and their motives later.  Seems like a lot of big names and big money coming in (from outside) for a State Legislator position for one district and certainly not what one might normally find in a "grassroots" effort.

One rather peculiar donation came from the Tohono O'odham Nation.  The same group that:

1.     Opposed the proposed immigration prison in 2009 intended to house illegals awaiting deporation or prosecution.

2.     Would later participate in a lawsuit against SB1070.

3.     Calls the fence along the border the Apartheid wall and genocide.


4.     Encourages "open borders" and "free movement for all".

One wonders the motive behind the contribution and if it had anything to do with the Tohono O'odham tribe's announcement in January 2009 regarding plans to build a casino in Glendale (Adams became Speaker of the House in January 2009).  This plan did not go over well with the people of Glendale or politicians.  On November 24, 2009, the tribe made a $410.00 donation to Kirk Adams' campaign.  A lawsuit was ultimately filed on the issue which Kirk Adams was listed as one of the Plaintiffs against the tribe and the Dept. of Interior- Ken Salazar. The lawsuit was finally settled in March 2011 with a judgment in favor of the Tohono O'odham tribe and the DOI.

Next we have the mulitple donors who serve on the board of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce.
