‘The Tillman Story’ — What should we learn?
As someone who wore a military uniform for 34 years and someone who is concerned about issues of honor and integrity in the military, I knew that I had to see “The Tillman Story” as soon as it came out.

Upon causing himself to be arrested during his protest of SB1070, former Arizona Sen. Alfredo Gutierrez stated: “We were sending a message to the Hispanic community.”
Welcome to the team, Mr. Goddard
Democrat gubernatorial candidate, Terry Goddard, recently wrote in ~The Arizona Republic~ that we need to go on the offensive to fight border crime and solve the problem of illegal immigration now.
Wake up, McCain – it’s 2010
Sen. John McCain, while your daughter and wife support marriage equality, what grants you the right to block another loving couple from marrying or even adopting because they happen to be gay - just because they are gay – when your own lack of personal responsibility ended your marriage?

Compromise is needed in Congress
I have been told many times that it takes courage to run for office. Courage is the ability to face difficult issues and never back down. As a business owner I know that there will always be issues and problems to take care of.
Is the Arizona Chamber really serious about business?

Electronic government records should be free to public
