We are at a critical time in the era of the immigration reform movement.

We need immediate action and support from every person in order to assure the human rights and dignity of all people is assured!


Arizona SB and Jan Brewer have passed an ugly law that could spread!

A message to tourists and conventions destined for Arizona; come to God’s country! Don’t support devil worship!

Well, maybe the title is a bit extreme.  I am not sure what compelled Arizona to pas HB 1070 which was bound to be abused by law enforcement and earn the wrath of free America.  Maybe it falls within traditional concepts of God and the Devil.  Maybe not.  One thing is sure, it is turning Arizona into the gates of hell!

Why take a trip to hell when you can come to God’s country?  Colorado is a spectacular state with four seasons of pure fun!  Winter, summer, spring and fall, all you have to do is call and we will be here! 

Come ski at Beaver Creek, fish in Rocky Mountain National Park, hunt the Flat Tops – may the peace of the wilderness be with you, hike the San Juans, back pack, bird-watch, dance, ride horses, four wheel drive, visit lost ghost towns like Tin Cup, pan for gold, gamble in Blackhawk or come to an amusement park, we have it all!  We are also not in a war zone.   Better yet, Arizona can’t cut off the Colorado power grid for asking for your tourist dollars, unlike the threat they made to LA for the boycott that was announced against Arizona HB 1070!

With summer coming there are a lot of things to do.  Glenwood Springs has a wonderful hot springs pool that can accommodate half of the NFL!  From there, you could travel to posh Aspen, Colorado, or head on in to Denver for a night of dancing!  If you like to fish we have an active fish breeding program which jams our high mountain rivers and lakes with trout.  If you enjoy music try Breckenridge for the summer music series or look for one of the jazz or blue grass festivals.  Heck, there is so much to do it is hard to know where to start!

The long and short of it is, why vacation in a war zone?  Come to Colorado and avoid all of the insanity going on in Arizona.  We are not in the midst of a civil war!  We have not passed hate laws like HB 1070!  Some people consider this God’s country!

Arizona considers racial profiling in schools, HB 1070 requires reporting children of undocumented workers!

Senator Russell Pearce SB 1097


Drunk with the headlines, Republican Senator Russell Pearce has come up with a ‘one better’ than HB 1070 which condones racial profiling.  Now, Russell wants to go after the children of undocumented aliens.  SB 1097 would require reporting the number of undocumented children  in the school and the ‘economic impact’ they have on the system.  Failure to report could cost the school it’s funding!

Senator Russell Pearce smiles as he contemplates the tears on the faces of children of undocumented workers when they are denied a grade school education

The tactic Russell Pearce proposes has been used for years by parents in divorce court.  The wife won’t let dad see the kids unless he ponies up for child support and a large hunk of the marital estate.  Dad demands custody of the children until mom gets real on the money part.  No one is looking out for the best interests of the children.  While there are a thousand versions of marital ping-pong, it is the dirtiest pool one can play in the law.

The fool Senator Pearce has merely moved marital dirty pool into the schools.  His ugly SB 1097 will intimidate undocumented families while manipulating school administrators.  Either the school goes along with denying education to the children of undocumented aliens who had no choice in coming to this country, or the state of Arizona will deny funding for the rest of the student population.

What bullies fail to see is, no one takes their side.  Senator Pearce is playing the role of a fool by getting his mug in the headlines once again.  He is putting the Republican party nation-wide at risk of another crushing defeat in November.  It is well known the hate laws being passed in Arizona are along party lines, Republicans for HB 1070 racial profiling, Democrats against HB 1070.  One can presume Republicans in other states share similar sentiments. 

Of course, Teddy Tan, I mean right wing Ted Tancredo weighed in on the proposed Arizona law, insisting we need to measure the cost of educating innocent children of undocumented immigrants.  He has not mentioned how to monitor the cost of sending un-educated young adults to prison when they are forced into poverty and lives of crime.  Republicans secretly breathed a great sign of relief after Teddy Tan Tancredo left the House congressional seat for Colorado years ago.   His extreme views and insistence in robbing Republican headlines cost the party dearly and current Republicans hope to silence this fruit cake.

Fools don’t lift their heads up to see what is going on around them.  Thousands of organizations are announcing boycotts of Arizona.  Conventions are cancelling.  There is a move to cancel the 2011 All Stars game to be held in Phoenix.   While the fool Russell Pearce does not care what happens in his state, Republican senates in other states considering a copy-cat HB 1070 racial profiling law must be having second thoughts.  Pearce and his cronies are making allies for the pro-reform immigration movement more than any other single person or organization in the United State of America could.  They are making enemies for Republicans nationwide more than any candidate could and SB 1097 is just another nail in the coffin.

Now is a good time to order your free Arizona travel guide as it costs the state of Arizona money to print and send out, could affect the budget for the Arizona Tourist Board and some of us will be traveling to the State to protest ugly laws!

We must assist Arizona in defeating Republican senators and Republican governor Jan Brewer in the November elections.  While the fool Republican Senator Russell Pearce and his buddies are moving full speed ahead on SB 1097 in the Arizona Senate as reported in Zimvi.com, the Arizona House has wisely tabled the bill pending the outcome of the November elections.  The House understands the power of the Latino voting base along with those who stand up against injustice.
