A good idea. I also like the fact that Brewer and AZ isn’t just pointing a finger at Obama demanding action, she’s giving him a battle plan. No excuses for him to not act.
Ariz. gov.: Send Guard choppers from other states
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is asking President Barack Obama to reallocate National Guard helicopters from other states to help Arizona secure its border with Mexico.
Brewer made the request in a letter to Obama dated Thursday and released Friday.
She says Arizona only has four OH-58 Kiowa helicopters available for border missions because some choppers are deployed overseas and others are reserved for training missions.
Brewer requests that additional helicopters be freed up from training missions or taken from other states and assigned to the southwestern border.
The governor acknowledges her request may be unpopular with other governors, but she says she believes there are legitimate national interests in sending more aircraft to Arizona.
Bravo! Her request sounds common sense to me. You won’t get what you don’t ask for. Obama likes to have his ugly mug on TV, now he has another chance to debate states rights.
Wanna bet she gets no response? Again?
Since the administration is listening to Calderon while ignoring Brewer, I think it’s time Arizona boycotts the fed!
