Here is a letter we received from Congressman Trent Franks:
Dear Arizona Voter:
Our nation and state are dealing with several very important issues. One of the most important and complex issues facing our country is illegal immigration. Republican Senator Jon Kyl is in the untenable position of trying to forge critical immigration policy in a democrat controlled Senate.
I have known Senator Kyl for over 20 years. In that time, I have witnessed an individual of impeccable moral character. He is a man who operates with the highest level of integrity, and he has established himself as one of the true leaders in the United States Senate.
Senator Kyl also has a proven track record as a conservative Senator. He has consistently supported the values and platform of the Republican Party. When history records his legacy, it will record a man of remarkable political courage, moral integrity, and the heart of a genuine patriot.
Consequently, I am deeply concerned and hurt by the inflammatory language I see being directed at Senator Jon Kyl in recent days.
I understand that some people may disagree with Senator Kyl’s position on immigration reform. However, I believe that the vitriolic rhetoric recently used by some to condemn Jon Kyl is highly inappropriate and shameful. I urge anyone who may disagree with Senator Kyl to do so respectfully and to refrain from attacking the personal integrity of this honorable man.
Sincerely,
Congressman Trent Franks
KUDOS to Congressman Franks, your a stand up guy, you always have been, always will be.
Many of the attacks on Sen Kyl have come from Republicans who claim the high ground, but forget it was President Ronald Reagan who said "Thou shalt not speak ill of ANY fellow Republican".

Sen. Kyl,
We stand full square behind you and especially in light of all the nasty, messy and un-warranted attacksyou have had to endure in recent days.
We will withhold any physical, factual and financial support from any one or any group that is or was associated with that kind of raucous and uncivilized behavior.
We are proud to stand on Republican, conservative principles and you may let this be known.
Do not hesitate to call on us if there is anything else we can do.
Most sincerely

I have always been opposed to the path to citizenship as I believed it rewarded breaking the law. I believe John Kyl opposed it as well. He has done a trade off to get a stop to further illegal immigration, which is the highest priority. Without an agreement, and a Democratic congress, there might be no action to stop illegal immigration, which would be a disaster. In politics, you learn to compromise, or you learn to cry a lot, because you can't get anything done without compromise. I believe Sen. Kyl got the best he deal he could. I support him.
