Leaders of Cave Creek Support Jim Waring
What are they saying about Jim Waring?
"I support Jim Waring because he has shown integrity and leadership serving in the Arizona Senate and I know that he will take those same qualities to Washington D.C. He is a fiscal conservative who will be prudent with our money. Waring stands with us on wanting to secure our border. He understands the issues that concern us in Arizona and will address those issues."
Senator Ed Bunch
"The communities of Cave Creek and Carefree are in far northern Maricopa County and for many Valley residents, off the beaten track. Senator Jim Waring did not let geography stand in the way of responsive constituent service and regular legislative updates for our locally elected officials. If we were living in the old West, Jim was enough of a frequent visitor and community friend, to have had his own hitching post and water trough on Main Street."
Former Mayor Tom Augherton
"Former State Senator Jim Waring, who represented the Cave Creek area, has always made himself available over the years. Jim has attended numerous Town Council meetings, he has assisted me as well as other council members with issues we have had. My impression of Jim is what you see is what you get. Jim is an honest individual who has represented the state in a very professional non-political way, and I believe he will do the same if elected to Congress."
Councilman Dick Esser
"Jim Waring has the experience in state government to take to the federal government. I believe this positions Jim to be mindful of states rights."

Arizona senators' border cash plan By Scott Wong - POLITICO.COM
Arizona’s two GOP senators rolled out legislation Thursday night that looked nearly identical to a House-passed bill to boost funding for more manpower, technology and other resources along the southwest border.
The only difference is how they want to pay for it.
Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl say their $701 million proposal is funded with unused stimulus money and $100 million from “virtual fence” funding that was frozen this year by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
The House plan, which was sent to the Senate after it passed Wednesday night, calls for $200 million in cuts to offset costs and another $500 million in emergency funding, which adds to the federal deficit.
The rival proposals emerged after Senate Republicans stripped hundreds of millions of dollars for border security from a massive bill paying for the troop surge in Afghanistan. Some were concerned with deficit spending; others objected to attaching domestic spending to funding for military operations abroad.
Among other things, the border security bills would fund 1,200 additional Border Patrol agents and 500 more Customs and Border Protection officers at ports of entry; three new border-enforcement bases; two unmanned aircraft; and additional investigations and surveillance of drug and human traffickers by the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration.
“The legislation we introduced today will provide additional resources to help gain control of our border, without impacting our nation’s deficit,” McCain and Kyl said in a joint statement Thursday. “It is our hope that Democratic majority will swiftly work with us to ensure passage of this bill.”
A day earlier, House Democrats rallied behind their proposal, challenging Republicans to back up their calls for increased border security.
“When it comes to voting for these kinds of legislative packages, their votes are not there,” Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas), who represents the El Paso area. “We hear a lot of talk but it’s time for those on the other side of the aisle to do some walking and carrying their share of the load.”
Rep. David Price (D-N.C.), chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on Homeland Security who introduced the bill, called the trafficking and violence on the border “an emergency.”
“We consider our challenge on the southwest border as important as our military’s work to secure Afghanistan from the Taliban and promote stability in Iraq,” he said. “In fact, some would argue it’s more important.”
In the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector, Arizona authorities arrested 242,000 illegal immigrants and seized 1.3 million pounds of marijuana last year, said Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), who introduced the measure with Price.
“This is ground zero for this problem,” she said. “The BP oil spill situation in our district is this problem we have with the smuggling of illegal immigrants and the smuggling of drugs.”

Then a few weeks ago, 'Comedy Central - The Jon Stewart Show' did an "Interview" with Seel that made him look like the moron that he is: CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO!
This month, Carl Seel was SUED by his lawyer (for $ 9,700.00) & a Payday Loan Company ( for $ 613.00 when he 'bounced a check to them for $ 588.23).
Carl Seel is one of the most ineffective Legislators we have in Arizona!
On April 5, 2010 Carl Seel filed for Bankruptcy:
Voters in LD-6 need to know what a total failure Carl Seel is. How can this clown, who is a member of the Finance Committee, control what taxpayers are accountable for, when he can't even manage his own finances?
Time for Carl Seel to go! He is running as a 'team' with the "TRIFECTA OF IDIOTS", Lori "DUI" Klein, & David "I SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON" Fitzpatrick! District 6 needs to reject all three!
Today in the Washington Examiner July 30, 2010
The Delaware primary is an example of the fight going on inside the GOP. A great opportunity is approaching. There's an older, established, and, in the view of many, squishy candidate running against a younger upstart who has flaws the opposition can exploit.
Ousted former federal agricultural official Shirley Sherrod made news Thursday by announcing a lawsuit against conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart who, she claims falsely accused her of being racist against white people.
Although it would make for an interesting showdown, media lawyers contacted by the Examiner said that that Sherrod’s case stands little chance of succeeding or even making it to trial.
Ever since the NAACP began stepping up its attacks on the limited government movement through charges of racism against the Tea Parties, it’s become rather apparent that there was a concerted effort behind this rhetoric.
After reading the words of Mary Frances Berry, one of the more prominent leaders in the far-left black political scene, one need no longer merely surmise this.
President Obama often complains about the frivolous obsessions of Washington and bristles impatiently at questions he considers trivial from the White House press corps.
But on Thursday he cheerfully fielded inquiries about Mel Gibson's anger issues and Chelsea Clinton's wedding on a prerecorded showing of ABC's "The View."
Evidence is mounting against a 22-year-old soldier in connection with the 90,000 classified documents published by the Web site WikiLeaks that exposed internal rifts between the United States and Pakistan and other secrets.
Spc. Bradley Manning, who is being held in Kuwait on previous charges of leaking a classified video of a U.S. military helicopter firing on a group of people in Baghdad, is "one of the suspects" in the investigation, said Christopher Grey, director of public affairs for the Army's Criminal Investigation Command.
A House ethics panel on Thursday brought 13 charges against 20-term Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, setting the stage for what could be an historic trial into what his accusers describe as a pattern of corrupt behavior.

STATEMENT BY SENATOR McCAIN REGARDING THE ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF AIR FORCE
Applauds the Air Force for Stationing the F-35 Lightning II at Luke Air Force BaseJuly 29, 2010
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today made the following statement regarding the Department of Air Force selection of Luke Air Force Base as their preferred base for stationing of the F-35 Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter) and the decision not to select the 162nd Fighter Wing at Tucson International Airport (IAP):
“I am pleased with the selection by the Department of the Air Force of Luke Air Force Base (AFB) to be the preferred alternative for the home of pilot training of three F-35 Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter) squadrons. While I had hoped to welcome the F-35 Lightning
II (Joint Strike Fighter) to both Luke AFB and Tucson International Air Port (IAP), I understand the decision by the Department of the Air Force to defer consideration of assigning the F-35 to the 162nd Fighter Wing at Tucson IAP until a future time given the base’s critical current mission of training foreign pilots in the F-16.
“The Air Force has recognized that the unparalleled capabilities inherent to Arizona – from the Barry M. Goldwater Range, to great flying weather, and strong support from state and local governments and communities, serve to provide the best environment and the finest quality of life for our military personnel training in the Air Force’s next generation fighter. In return, Luke AFB offers the West Valley and the State of Arizona a strong economic engine contributing more than 8,000 jobs and $2.17 billion annually to the state’s economy.
“This decision today recognizes the extensive support and proactive land management by local city, county and state governments over the past years to sustain military operations at Luke AFB. I am proud of the cooperation we have fostered in Arizona to bring this outstanding opportunity to the West Valley and will continue efforts in the future to maintain this long-term, mutually beneficial relationship. I would also like to congratulate and thank the Fighter County Partnership and the West Valley Partners for their continued support of Luke AFB.
“While this is an important day for the future of Luke AFB, we are not finished. I will continue to work on behalf of all citizens in Arizona to ensure the Air Force conducts a fair, transparent and comprehensive environmental impact analysis over the next 12 months to address legitimate concerns with the operation of this aircraft. This analysis is absolutely critical for the support of the Air Force at Luke AFB over the long-term.
“We also cannot overlook that the Tucson community has received great news over the past six months with decisions by the nations of Singapore and Holland to move their F-16 pilot training to Tucson.
Given the critical nature of support for the foreign military sales program and training support for our allies, I am confident that the F-35 will be stationed at Tucson IAP at some point in the future. Until then, training of F-16 foreign pilots remains a robust and vital mission for many years to come, and Tucson IAP will continue as the base of choice for our foreign allies who purchase F-16 aircraft, due to the unparalleled range capabilities and the strong support of the Tucson community.
“In the meantime, I will continue to work with the Department of the Air Force, the Air National Guard, and representatives of the community as well as the Tucson Airport Authority to ensure we position the base for future favorable consideration.”

Hayworth’s Misleading Attack On Immigration

Hayworth falsely claims McCain’s bill would have given Social Security and Medicare benefits to illegal immigrants.
By Eugene Kiely
FactCheck.org
July 28, 2010
Summary
J.D. Hayworth — who is seeking to unseat Sen. John McCain of Arizona in the Aug. 24 Republican primary — makes illegal immigration the subject of his first TV buy. The ad attacks the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 for potentially costing U.S. taxpayers $2.6 trillion and “rewarding illegal aliens with Social Security and Medicare benefits.” The first claim is misleading, and the second is wrong.
- It’s false to say “illegal aliens” would get benefits. They wouldn’t be eligible for Social Security and Medicare until they became legal and worked and paid taxes, just like everybody else.
- The $2.6 trillion cost estimate — which is spread out over decades — comes from a “rough estimate” by a conservative group, and it’s based on questionable and even false assumptions. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office came up with a far lower cost estimate based on different assumptions.
Analysis
Hayworth’s ad, which the campaign first aired July 23, opens with a clip of McCain talking about writing comprehensive immigration legislation with Edward Kennedy, the late liberal senator from Massachusetts. There is also a clip of President Barack Obama speaking of his support for the work of McCain and Kennedy on immigration.
Video
Hayworth for Senate TV Ad: “McCain’s Amnesty Bill”
John McCain: I helped author with Senator Kennedy comprehensive immigration reform and fought for it twice.
Barack Obama: I stood with Ted Kennedy and John McCain and took on this tough issue.
Announcer: McCain’s amnesty bill will cost $2.6 trillion. Rewarding illegal aliens with Social Security and Medicare benefits. Had enough? J.D. Hayworth led the fight against McCain’s amnesty bill, wrote the book on securing our borders, and is endorsed by Sheriff Joe Arpio.
J.D. Hayworth: I’m J.D. Hayworth and I approve this message.
It is worth noting that McCain did not cosponsor the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, so it can’t truly be called “McCain’s amnesty bill.” And labeling this bill as “amnesty” isn’t strictly accurate either, as we have noted before. But these are quibbles.
It’s true, of course, that McCain supported the 2007 bill — which was largely based on immigration legislation crafted in 2005 by McCain and Kennedy and was similar to a 2006 bill that McCain cosponsored. Hayworth’s ad underscores the Kennedy connection with a photo of McCain and Kennedy standing together. But the ad leaves out the fact that the final bill — the one attacked as a $2.6 trillion budget-buster — was the result of negotiations between Senate leadership and Republican President George W. Bush, so it was bipartisan legislation and not “McCain’s” bill alone.
$2.6 Trillion? Really?
In support of the ad’s claim that the measure would have cost $2.6 trillion, the Hayworth campaign cites a 2007 estimate by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that argued strongly against the legislation. But that figure — which would be spread over many decades — is based on questionable assumptions, and other experts have criticized it as inflated. It’s contradicted by estimates from a more neutral source — the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Even Heritage didn’t claim great accuracy for the figure. “This is a rough estimate,” the report conceded. “More research should be performed.”
Here’s how the foundation came up with that number: It estimated the adult illegal immigration population at 10 million and further estimated that about 8.5 million of the illegal immigrants could expect to live until 67 — which is when Social Security and Medicare would become available in most cases. The average white American aged 67 could expect to live another 18 years, the foundation said, based on Census projections. The foundation then estimated the net cost of benefits for the elderly at $17,000 per year — or $306,000 per person who lives till age 85 — resulting in a total net cost of $2.6 trillion in benefits. (That’s the net cost over the lifetime of the average low-skilled immigrant, the foundation says, after taking into consideration the taxes and fines paid by the new residents.)
The foundation acknowledges that the $2.6 trillion may be high because the report “assumes that all illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. would receive amnesty.” That’s actually a false assumption because not all illegal immigrants would be eligible. Eligibility would depend on such factors as whether the person has a criminal record and how long he or she has lived and worked in the U.S.
On the other hand, the foundation argues that the $2.6 trillion may underestimate the price tag because Medicaid and Medicare costs are likely to exceed the rate of inflation, so the $17,000 per year estimate will “almost certainly” be higher even after adjusting for inflation.
CBO: Bill Would Have ‘Small Net Effect’ on Budget
In its analysis of the same bill, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office concluded that both the population growth and the cost estimates would be far less severe.
In a June 4, 2007, fiscal report, the CBO said the immigration bill “would increase the population in the United States by about 1.8 million residents by 2017. By 2027, the net change in population would be negligible.” The CBO said the bill’s “enforcement and verification requirements” would reduce the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. (and reduce federal spending on Medicaid for emergency medical services).
The total cost of the bill? The CBO estimated that total federal spending would be $66.1 billion over the first 10 years, but the bill would also bring in $48.3 billion in added revenues — primarily increased Social Security and Medicare taxes paid by newly legal workers. Net cost for the first decade: $17.8 billion.
CBO said the cost for the second decade would be somewhat higher as more immigrants became legal, and the costs of benefits increased. But payroll tax receipts would also grow. So by the end of the first 20 years, CBO estimated that the net effect would be to increase the yearly federal deficit “by several billion dollars a year” and characterized this as “a relatively small net effect on the federal budget balance over the next two decades.”
Heritage argues that the impact of retirement costs of the illegal immigrant population “will not really begin until 25 to 30 years after passage of the legislation.” But its analysis has been disputed.
In a policy paper titled “The Fiscal Impact of Immigration Reform: The Real Story,” Daniel Griswold of the libertarian Cato Institute criticized the Heritage Foundation’s methodology. Further, Griswold maintained in a 2009 book that the Heritage figure is “grossly exaggerated” by “artificial” assumptions. For one thing, Griswold pointed out, the Heritage figure fails to state costs in today’s dollars, and assumes that a dollar taxed or spent 40 years from now is worth the same as a dollar today.
Griswold: In fact, it is worth much less because of inflation and the prevailing rate of interest. … A direct result is that the costs of immigration that it projects decades into the future are grossly exaggerated.
In his policy paper, Griswold conceded that low-skilled workers do tend to consume more in government services than they pay in taxes. But he also argued that the contributions of immigrant children should be counted in any fair assessment of the long-term fiscal impact.
Griswold: It would be misleading, for example, to count the costs of educating the children of an immigrant without considering the future taxes paid by the educated children once they have grown and entered the workforce. The children of immigrants typically outperform their parents in terms of educational achievement and income.
No Social Security or Medicare Benefits for ‘Illegal Aliens’
Hayworth’s ad also falsely describes the bill as “rewarding illegal aliens with Social Security and Medicare benefits.” We’ve made this point before — during the 2006 midterm congressional elections — but the fact is that the legislation doesn’t propose paying benefits to illegal immigrants. Under the bill, someone living in the U.S. illegally would have to meet certain criteria to become eligible for legal permanent residence. Once that happens — and not until then — could they eventually qualify for benefits, provided they have worked and paid taxes for the required amount of time.
Furthermore, the Social Security Administration has determined that comprehensive immigration legislation would actually have a net positive effect on Social Security, both in the short- and long-term.
In a July 24, 2006, letter to Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, Social Security Administration Chief Actuary Stephen Goss wrote that the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 would improve the trust fund’s net cash flow by about $27 billion in 10 years – reducing the public debt during that time by $30 billion when factoring in the effects of interest. In the long-term, the legislation would delay by two years (from 2040 to 2042) the date when Social Security would become insolvent, Goss wrote.
McCain’s Deep Roots in Immigration Legislation
Lastly, a little background: McCain and Kennedy introduced the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act (S. 1033) in 2005. That bill, although never voted on, would become the basis of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 (S. 2611), which was cosponsored by McCain and Kennedy, among others. The bill passed the Senate May 25, 2006, with 62 votes, but failed to win final approval and died at the end of the congressional session. McCain voted for it.
The bill was reintroduced as the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348). McCain, who was running for the Republican presidential nomination at the time, was not a cosponsor of the 2007 bill and was not as active in the 2007 negotiations that led to the final bipartisan bill. However, he joined Kennedy and Bush administration officials at a May 17, 2007, press conference to announce that a bipartisan deal on immigration had been struck. He also gave a floor speech days later saying he was “proud to support this historic overhaul of our immigration system.”
McCain’s position on immigration shifted during the presidential campaign. He put an emphasis on securing the border and downplayed the provisions that would have allowed illegal immigrants to gain legal permanent residence. He even stated that he would vote against his 2006 immigration bill during a presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library.
So, McCain’s deep involvement in immigration policy and his shifting position in recent years is all fair game for Hayworth. However, the Republican challenger exaggerates the costs and falsely states that illegal immigrants would be granted Social Security and Medicare benefits under the legislation.

More Empty Rhetoric by Goddard - Statement by Brewer Campaign
For Immediate Release: July 28, 2010Contact: Douglas Cole, 602-686-9712
Statement by Governor Jan Brewer 2010
Spokesman Douglas Cole Regarding SB1070 Ruling
"For now, the State of Arizona has been denied the opportunity to fully enforce the immigration laws that the federal government have refused to follow. In this case, the federal government has essentially admitted that they pick and chose which laws they want to enforce. Only in Washington, D.C. does this make sense.
"Attorney General Terry Goddard hailed the judge’s ruling today a little over a month after fighting to defend the law and lamenting his position to the East Coast elite at New York City’s Harvard Club. That was, of course, following the first time he changed his mind after initially speaking out against it. It’s enough to make your head spin.
"Terry Goddard is the John Kerry of Arizona – it is impossible to keep up with his position on SB1070 because it keeps changing. Just like his jobs agenda and lack of budget plans – more empty rhetoric.
"Governor Brewer is resolute in her defense of the State of Arizona and doing the job that the federal government refuses to do. She will not stop demanding border security and standing up against those who want to boycott and threaten our state. The greatest threat to Arizona’s economic recovery continues to be from the Obama administration and those who embody his liberal, out of touch agenda such as Attorney General Terry Goddard."

PHOENIX, AZ – Jim Waring, Congressional Candidate in CD3 and former state Senator, released the following statement today following word that Judge Susan Bolton has halted portions of Arizona’s S.B. 1070, which Waring co-sponsored and voted for.
“I am deeply disappointed today with the decision of the Court. The will of the people in our representative government should not be thwarted by activists Judges,” said Waring.
“The fact that this lawsuit was brought on by this Administration and the ACLU points to a clear political purpose for opposing this highly-regard legislation. The President, his Administration, and organizations like the ACLU should realize this is not a political issue; this is a public safety issue,” said Waring.
Waring has received numerous public safety awards throughout his career, including the Medal of Merit from the National Guard Association of U.S. and Legislator of the Year from the National Guard Association of Arizona (three times). Waring is the only candidate for Congress who has said he will introduce legislation to strip the Justice Department of the funds it’s using to sue the State of Arizona for passing S.B. 1070.
Senator Jim Waring is a tireless advocate for responsible government in Arizona. Jim has been named Champion of the Taxpayer, Guardian of Small Business, and Senator of the Year. Jim Waring Co-sponsored and voted for S.B. 1070, and will work to secure our borders once and for all. For more information contact the campaign at (602) 468-2010.
