By the way, being a grizzled old man, I am about as far from being a Smart Girl as one could be…however, I am honored to be friends with one of those on the ground floor of the Smart Girl movement….

Raul Grijalva has a mighty flood of support from ‘the left of the left’ crowd. One of his campaign fundraisers was conducted in LA in 2010 by Rudolfo Acuna, the radical profressor/activist/author of ‘Occupied America’ – the controversial book used in the Ethnic Studies program in Tucson. Grijalva is also linked to MEChA, LaRaza, Code Pink and Derechos Humanos – just to name a few.

Gabby Saucedo Mercer has a very good chance to win, but can only do so if she has help. I know Gabby and Ted (her husband), consider them family and have worked with Gabby on a number of events and issues. We served together as part of a panel on Ethnic Studies last fall, and we continue working against that course & curriculum. The district is not simply in control of a ‘liberal’, it is held hostage by a hard-line leftist who is part of ‘Progressive Democrats of America’ – an organization declaring they are not Democrats, but want to take the Democrat party where it ‘needs to go’. Further left is what I gathered.

I know there are many important races; well, Gabby’s is one of them! Ruth McClung lost by only 5%. Let’s help give Gabby the boost needed to beat Grijalva in November!

You all know how the current administration is bearing down on Arizona from without and from within. The suits, the censures, the negative press are meant to wear us down – we won’t be worn down – we love our state and Gabby has the courage and the principles to preserve Arizona and be a major force in the team that will restore America.

Just one last thing: we need to help Gabby with our spirit and our support.
