Stand Up for Arizona

Major demonstrations are to be held in 70 cities on May 1 to protest the new Arizona law to cope with an army of half a million illegal aliens now living there.

Since Gov. Jan Brewer signed that law a week ago, Arizona has been subjected to savage attack as the modern embodiment of Jim Crow, apartheid and Nazism. Few have risen in her defense.

In San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., moves are afoot to boycott Arizona and cancel conventions to break the state, as it was broken when Arizona declined to set aside a holiday for Martin Luther King.

Republican leaders like Jeb Bush, Karl Rove and even the rising Marco Rubio of Florida have declared themselves “troubled” or “concerned” and washed their hands of Arizona, which suggests they have not read the law — or the party remains captive to country-club political correctness.

The story continues …..

    What Arizona did was not only Constitutional, but their DUTY to do ! Those who oppose are anti-American and Anti-Constitution !

    To all who think DC has the powers they CLAIM to have –

    I got legal Constitutional news for you – it is the states that have the power – NOT DC !
    It’s about time the states took back those powers !

    Listen and learn –

    State borders are State business – not DC business.
    Our Founders and Constitution and Declaration make that clear !
    States cannot be forced to do anything by DC and in fact the states can sue DC if they try !
    THAT is the REAL Law of the Land !
    And it is about time we got back to it !

    Hear it from the author of the Constitution directly ! This is the REAL LAW – not the corporate garbage that has come out of DC posing as ‘laws’ ! And this is just a taste of how this country is suppose to be operating if it was a ‘free’ country as it claims to be ! Shows just how little real knowledge the so-called ‘lawyers’ – now as TV hosts – really have; they instead do the illegal agenda for DC ! Shame on all of them ! ! WE the people have more knowledge about these things then all of them do !

    James Madison, the acknowledged father of the Constitution, explained in Federalist Paper No. 45: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former [DC] will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce. … The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives and liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State.”

    “In a free nation Firearms are not licensed, regulated, registered or taxed.” – James Madison, Founder, Author of Constitution

    “When injustice becomes law….Resistance becomes DUTY !” – - Thomas Jefferson

    The question of State authority over our Mexican friends residing in any of the federated (USA) States is answered by Thomas Jefferson in 1798. Given this, “the Federal agent in Washington has no authority over the aliens, and the military power of each State may Constitutionally-repel the invasion of her sovereign soil.”
    Each state is to always have its OWN military , State Guard, and militia ! And the militias were ALWAYS made up of the armed PEOPLE !

    More Jefferson on Aliens and borders:

    “Alien(s)….are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are; no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the Amendments to the Constitution having also declared that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, – ” the act of the Congress of the United States (in July 1798, Alien & Sedition Act)…which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void and of no force.” Thomas Jefferson, 1798 (Kentucky Resolutions, ix, 466, Ford ed, vii, 296)
