Senator John Mccain denounces Goldwater
McCain blasts fellow Republican
Arizona Sen. John McCain has come out against the
Republican gubernatorial candidacy of Don Goldwater.
Goldwater -- nephew of late, former U.S. Sen. Barry
Goldwater -- favors a hard-line approach to illegal
immigration and border security. That includes
construction of a border wall and putting some
illegal immigrants who are arrested for crimes into
work details to help build fences and walls.
McCain issued a statement Friday denouncing
Goldwater's call for a border wall and work camps
and urged fellow Republicans to take a similar stance.
The senator called Goldwater an "inappropriate messenger"
for the GOP on the issue -- a major concern for Arizona's
business community.
McCain -- who is eyeing a 2008 White House run --
favors a more moderate immigration approach
including a business-backed guest worker program
and legal path for some illegals already in the U.S.
The Goldwater campaign said Friday it was
disappointed that McCain did not contact
them before issuing the official denouncement.
McCain could endorse conservative attorney Len
Munsil in the September Republican primary for
governor. Munsil is the former head of the Center
for Arizona Policy, a socially conservative advocacy
group and the main supporter of a proposed state
ballot question banning gay marriage.

Congressman Rick Renzi.
Dear Friend:
You have been such a tremendous supporter of mine through the years. I cannot thank you enough for the financial backing and strong words of support you have offered time and time again.
Now, I am turning to you to ask that you support a great member of the Arizona delegation and my friend, Congressman Rick Renzi.
Rick Renzi has proven himself to be a dedicated, thoughtful and effective Member of Congress for our great state. Rick is a workhorse for his district, our state and our country. He represents a majority-Democrat district and must continually out work his opponents as he has done by waging tough campaigns for the last four years.
This year, he faces yet another difficult race.
Already his liberal opponents have started advertising on television against him and the Washington liberals have recruited a multi-millionaire from Ohio to challenge him in November.
Rick's opponent, Ellen Simon, is the former president of the ACLU and has pledged to spend millions of her own dollars to defeat Rick. We simply cannot let this happen!
Rick has worked too hard and has done too much for Arizona for us to simply stand by and watch. That's why I am asking you today to make a much needed contribution to Congressman Renzi's re-election campaign. You can do so now by
Whether it's the work Rick has done on the Intelligence Committee to combat terrorism; supporting tax cuts for working families; his work to develop alternative energy sources; or his efforts in securing high-tech jobs for Arizona, Rick Renzi deserves our support.
So, will you please join me in supporting Rick Renzi for Congress? Your contribution today of $2,100, $1,000, $500, $250, $100 or whatever you can afford goes a long way towards victory in November.
You can mail a check to Rick Renzi for Congress, PO Box 5066, Scottsdale, AZ 85261 or make a secure online donation right now by clicking here.
I thank you in advance for your support and we hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John McCain U.S. Senator
P.S. Please act today! The June 30th deadline is fast-approaching and Rick needs to have the largest warchest on hand as possible in order to show the Washington establishment and his opponents that Rick is serious about this race and has a wide base of support. Thanks again!
