I have read the Constitution and also the Bill of Rights held within that wonderful document. I have horribly noticed that most of our constitutional rights have been bypassed by legislatures and Congress or just blatantly ignored. Like the health-care bill that no one really wants, and creates many more government jobs that we the people must pay for. Most recently the ratification by the Senate to ratify the nuclear treaty with Russia puts us in a vulnerable position. I also noticed that the outgoing congressman ran through many bills before the end of their tenure. Which really Caps my behind. Sometimes our own President of the United States seems to straddle between being a domestic enemy to this country, by giving comfort and assistance to our enemies abroad. I've also noticed this radical progressive President is probably the worst, duly elected president we've ever had in our history, I also believe this President has an agenda to wipe out capitalism and create a class war in the United States in which will probably cause violence and insurrection causing the President to call for martial law, then he needs to call the United Nations to send troops to collect our weapons any way they can and then adopt through legislation the laws of the United Nations to govern us, Through the mechanism of International law thereby tromping our Constitution and then welcoming the new world order OneWorld government. This is my greatest fear, believe me this can happen. In his own words he said the Constitution of the United States is an outdated document. So why would even bother with it, if you can just sign President orders to go around our Constitution. This is somewhat when I've been saying he is committing violations of the Constitution of the United States time and time again. But no one in Congress seems to want to stand up and point this out to the people and a judicial actions against this President? It makes one wonder what is really going on? In November 2nd the people told our Democratic congressman and senators that We the People will not take this lying down any longer. So the 111 Congress is gone now and I am patiently awaiting the start of 112 Congress to see if they really heard our cry. Because 2012 will be a remarkable site if they do not comply with the wishes of the people, there will be another President and there will be absolute changes in a Senate and probably many more in Congress. They forgot the first three words of the preamble of the Constitution of the United States that's where the real power lies in this country and they had better pay attention to our wishes. I am 60 years old and I have never ever seen such blatant snobbery and contempt by elected officials in my life. Please read this and look for yourself you'll find what you are looking for. We the people must start a new Revolution by peaceably removing the Progressives or whomever else is helping with this socialist idealism. It Is Never Too Late.this has happened before in our country's history, a few trying to steal the power of this country from the people. Our Republic and Constitution shall stand when the People stand up and end all this malarkey that's going on in Washington. Familys all can get back to living life as constitutionally free Americans.

I'm looking for James Allen, son of Doris and John Allen. I was told that he may be living in Benson. I just want to know how he's doing. I'm his aunt.

The new American breed Arizona has taken a bold step in forcing The U.S. Government to actually in force its immigration laws. I for 1 AM very proud of my state for passing such a bill. It is most unfortunate that lawsuit is being brought against Arizona's new immigration bill that would indeed force The U.S. Government to recognize their failure in securing our border with Mexico. I live in the Cochise area and had many problems with the illegal aliens trespassing, just recently two were found just outside of the property line on a roadway. Horribly dehydrated and possibly ill with some disease. Local law enforcement were called and they were removed my helicopter to medical facility. It is a horrible thing when the illegal aliens get this far and end up dehydrated or even worse in the hot summer heat. Not too awful long ago a neighbor was robbed and knifepoint and his money firearms and vehicle was taken, he was very fortunate to have survived and his goods recovered, the situations make this new bill absolutely necessary for the safety of our border and the communities beyond. Yet the President of the United States just recently said in a statement that our borders are more secure now than past 20 years. It is unfortunate this man can think such things. When in truth we are under illegal intrusions into our border state and drastic measures must be enforced. So there's on a bill was past. I for one short of arming myself all the time, and employ the use of large dogs to protect my residence from invasion. They do give fair warning of intrusions and also deter any possible invasions onto my property it is working very well as a deterrent It is so unfortunate that a few criminals, drug dealers drug transporters and other criminals and made it horribly dangerous for a common Mexican citizen in the close border region. Just remember they are also human beings in a strange land probably hungry and most certainly thirsty. Our war is not with just the illegal immigration problem it is the onslaught of drug cartels causing an invasion of our country. This is indeed a national security problem that must be addressed.

Here is an interesting thought, Public Officials City Officials and Government Officials are always picked on ruthlessly, as for the Mayor and the City Council , I believe wholeheartedly they have our interests in mind when making difficult decisions, just in the recent past, I voted in favor for the tax to help our schools who are indefinitely in need of financial aid, To hire high qualified teachers and instructors. I believe wholeheartedly they are local state can find the revenue to help our schools without being damaged by the Federal Governments drawback of funds and laying off needed educators. Mayor Fenn was voted in by the majority in the last election. I had stopped my mud slinging because I believe Mayor Fenn is trying with the best of his ability and what is best for the City of Benson. Not to long ago there was an accident on 4th Street and county road (the corner where the Circle K is located) there was obstructions in the way of bushes, and the stop sign was located way too far back on the street corner, that could cost horrific accidents at that corner. I brought it to the Mayor Fenn,s attention and within a few weeks, the obstructions and stop sign and white line was adjusted accordingly. There are many these kind of actions promoted by the Mayor Fenn that benefits the City as a whole that goes on notice in our daily lives. So please reconsider political mud slinging look at the things he has Done for the community. I judge a man by his deeds and integrity so far he his not broke his word I do see Mark Fenn As Mayor. It is indeed a thankless job and everybody has many different political opinions of what should be done. But just keep in mind what is best for the whole that is what is important for our city of Benson.
