Grass isn’t always greener, Dr. Gosar
By changing your environment, it doesn’t always mean your troubles suddenly disappear. In fact, they usually follow.
Russell Pearce should go away — for a while
Don’t get me wrong. I’m a staunch conservative, and I appreciate much of the work that Russell Pearce did while serving in the Arizona House and Senate.
Look at Justice Department, not Sheriff Joe
What is wrong with this picture? The U.S. Justice Department, instead of going after criminals who are breaking federal laws goes after a sheriff, Joe Arpaio, who goes after criminals breaking federal and local laws.

Use medical marijuana sales tax money for transplants
I have had a pretty tough month, but it pales in comparison to those in need of a life-saving organ transplant.
For those in need, Brewer’s AHCCCS waiver is a kick in the teeth
I don't understand how people who profess to represent me just decide to kick me in the teeth and watch me bleed? Sending a request to the President asking to waive the requirement for States to maintain eligibility for public health benefits is doing just that to me, and others like me.
Security requires a strong military
The Obama administration is contemplating major reductions in the Defense Department budget to help cut into the huge deficits incurred by the president and his Washington cronies. They plan on reducing our conventional military forces, and increase special operations units to combat the terrorist threats around the world.
