did't both Senator Kyl and John Mccain work against Prop 200 ?
ignoring the will of the citizens of Arizona
Despite a huge effort by political leadership on both sides of the aisle to defeat it, the electorate passed Proposition 200 with 56 percent of voters voting in the affirmative. Proving that immigration is an "elite vs. public" issue rather than a "right vs. left" issue due to the fact that the wealthy are more likely to benefit from increases in cheap labor while the middle class and the poor view cheap illegal immigration labor as a threat to their livelihood, the opposition to Prop. 200 was made up of a bipartisan group of elites. Senator John McCain (R), Senator John Kyl (R), Governor Janet Napolitano (D), the Arizona Republican Party, the Arizona Democratic Party, the Green Party, the Libertarian Party, the AFL-CIO, and other bi-partisan elected officials and organizations were all opposed to Protect Arizona Now. [[1]] These groups spent hundreds of thousands of dollars campaigning against the will of the public.

ARIZONA SENDS OUT-OF-TOUCH DC A MESSAGE: "DEFEND OUR BORDERS OR LOSE ELECTIONS!"
Arizona sends out-of-touch DC a message: "defend our borders or lose elections!"
"Minutemen will make up every dime Randy doesn't get from DC!"
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps founder Chris Simcox
tonight hailed Randy Graf's Republican Primary victory
as a "message to our out-of-touch politicians in Washington DC - defend our borders or be defeated at the polls.
It's that simple."
Simcox's comments came on the heels of what appears
to be a 43-37 Graf win over a liberal candidate
endorsed and heavily funded by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and pro-illegal alien
amnesty groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps PAC spent slightly over
$40,000 for Independent Expenditures in support of
Graf. MCDC PAC was the only entity that conducted
Independent Expenditures in this contest.
The PAC aired a heavy schedule on cable as well
as 11 top Tucson and 5 top Cochise County radio stations.
Simcox exulted over the small PAC's defeat of the
"powerful" NRCC, which backed Graf's liberal opponent
with a record of supporting open borders and illegal immigration.
"Out of touch so-called "professionals" in Washington DC actually think that people like Randy Graf who are
committed to putting our national security ahead of special interest campaign dollars and corporate money are
"weak" candidates," Simcox said. "I disagree and
so did the hundreds of Minutemen who rallied to
our effort to fund this Independent Expenditure
that helped put Randy over the top."
"Now it's time for Republicans to unite to ensure
that Randy Graf beats the ultra-liberal pro-amnesty
Democratic candidate in November."
MINUTEMEN TO REPLACE "LOST" NRCC FUNDING FOR GRAF
Simcox said he has heard that Graf will be denied
support by the national Republican Party establishment
and Republican business groups because of Graf's strong
stand against illegal immigration. He says he is committed towards making up the difference.
"I will be calling on my fellow Minutemen from around
the country to step up to the plate and make up every
dime lost because Randy Graf won't sell out our national security to the pro-amnesty lobby," Simcox added.
"His victory this November is our top priority and
we will raise whatever it takes to win."
"Minutemen from Houlton, Maine to San Diego,
California and everywhere in between will make
up every dime Randy doesn't get from politicians
and pro-amnesty special interests in Washington.
By tomorrow afternoon, every Minuteman and supporter
in America will hear from me about how they can help
Randy win this election and I expect we will raise
record amounts to help elect Randy Graf this November,
" Simcox added.
MESSAGE TO DC: DEFEND OUR BORDERS OR PAY AT THE POLLS.
"Tonight, Arizona voters sent Washington a message: defend our borders or pay at the polls," Simcox said. "The question for Republicans is whether they will lose elections by taking an appeasement position on the illegal alien question or win by standing tall on defending our borders and our national security. The NRCC look like fools tonight for backing a loser. They can make things right by embracing those who want to secure our borders now, and they can start with a big fat contribution to Randy Graf's campaign."

words from Gov Janet Napolitano on uninvited illegal aliens
words from Gov Janet Napolitano on uninvited illegal aliens
Tuesday, September 19, 2006
Dear Friends:
This year, Congress had one important job before them: enacting
comprehensive immigration reform. To date, they have failed. While they
spent the summer orchestrating sham hearings, we need to use the fall and
winter to keep the pressure on Congress to act, and the resources needed to
combat immigration-related crime.
We continue to do our part at the state level by providing Arizona
National Guard to our Border, combating the crimes underlying the human
smuggling trade, and seizing the assets of drug and human smuggling rings.
More Funding for DPS
In the last four years, we have increased the Department of Public
Safety budget by 62%, adding more highway patrol officers and anti-gang
personnel and focusing on seizing the assets of drug and human smuggling
rings.
Combating Violent Human Smuggling Gangs
Additionally, we are working with local law enforcement in border
counties like Cochise to create a multi-agency, anti-gang task force (known
as GITEM) that specialize in dismantling criminal organizations that make
their living off border-related crime. Within the next six weeks, we will
have 31 more officers added to these units statewide and a total of 41 new
GITEM members by the end of the year.
Federal Intelligence Sharing
Earlier this week, Ambassador Thomas McNamara, of the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence joined me in briefings and a tour of our
Arizona Counter Terrorism Intelligence Center (ACTIC), which combines
federal, state and local intelligence data, analysts, and investigations
into one center. The creation of ACTIC was one of my first homeland
security goals as Governor. McNamara concluded that ACTIC is "a prime
example of what we want to see develop in every state in the union."
Border Law Enforcement Funding
Arizona will receive $6.35 million in federal "Operation Stonegarden"
funding, the largest amount of any state, to reimburse local law enforcement
in assisting the Border Patrol in immigration-related crimes in our border
counties. Last month, I personally urged Secretary Chertoff to release
these critical funds and I greatly appreciate his cooperation.
"Operation Document Fraud"
On September 13, the Fraudulent Identification Taskforce announced the
results of a 12-week investigation. During "Operation Document Fraud"
undercover officers were able to purchase permanent resident cards and
social security cards and numbers in other people's names, but in the names
of 4 people on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted Terrorist List, including one
terrorist who had been confirmed as dead a month before the ID was
purchased. In just over a year, the Taskforce has confiscated more than
1,200 fraudulent documents, seized $1.4 million and 73 vehicles, and charged
more than 160 defendants.
We continue to do our part by working with local communities each and
every day to ensure they have the resources they need to combat crime
associated with illegal immigration, and at the same time, pressure the
federal government to step up to the plate and do their part. Once again,
we urge Congress to roll up their sleeves and get to work on immigration
reform - reform that is tough but realistic.
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please contact my
office at 1-800-253-0883 and ask to speak to Constituent Services.
Yours very truly,
Janet Napolitano
Governor

SECURE FENCE ACT PASSES HOUSE
"A milestone," say Minuteman Project leaders.
Gilchrist, Eichler, & Corsi praise volunteers
Washington, DC - On Thursday, Sep 14, three days after the fifth
anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in American history, the House
of Representatives passed HR 6061, the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which
passed by a vote of 283-138. The Act requires the Department of Homeland
Security to beef up border security with a combination of high
technology and a 700-mile fence.
"This is a milestone in border security," said Jim Gilchrist, the
founder of The Minuteman Project, from his command center in Laredo, TX,
where Operation Sovereignty got underway on 9/11 with hundreds of
volunteers. "We couldn't have achieved this without our volunteer
network."
Gilchrist's sentiments were echoed by Minuteman Project executive
director, Steve Eichler, JD; and Dr. Jerome Corsi, co-author, with
Gilchrist, of "Minutemen - the Battle to Secure America's Borders."
"We praise the House leadership for getting this Bill passed," said
Eichler, "but the real heroes are the tens of thousands of Minuteman
Project volunteers who took time to phone, fax and e-mail their
representatives and the House committee; and the many hundreds who have
put their personal lives on hold and spent their own funds to come to
the border to be the eyes and ears of the Border Patrol."
"Of course, we're very pleased about the Secure Fence Act," added Dr.
Corsi, "It looks like they took a chapter from our book, and shows we
have been effective in calling attention to the problems of the wide
open border; but its only a first step. We still need to see increased
personnel and funding for the Border Patrol."
In Laredo, speaking to the volunteers of Operation Sovereignty 9/11,
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) read a letter he'd written to President Bush,
and explained that he'd called the White House for two and a half months
for an answer. "Two weeks ago, I told the White House that if you can't
or won't answer this letter, then I will do so today. That's what I am
doing right now, here in Laredo, Texas, with Jim Gilchrist and the
Minuteman Project."
King's June 23 letter is available in its entirety at The Minuteman
Project website, minutemanproject.com
None of the Minutemen in Laredo could understand why the Bush
administration makes a big show of "locking the front doors," but at the
same time, "leaves the back doors wide open!" But all agreed that
Minuteman Project volunteers on the border, and the tens of thousands of
Minutemen and women who contacted Washington had brought effective
pressure on politicians who had been ignoring the border problem.
"Now," says Gilchrist, "the next step is to convince Senators Kennedy
and McCain that the People know their Senate bill is nothing but smoke
and mirrors; and for them to adopt the House Bill as written. Meanwhile,
the Minutemen will be here, doing the job that government has failed to
do, working with local landowners, law enforcement and the Border
Patrol."
Details on the event are as follows:
Who: Jim Gilchrist, Minuteman Project Founder & volunteers from multiple
states coordinated with the Texas Minutemen, and the American Border
Patrol (AZ)
What: Operation Sovereignty
Where: US/Mexican border near Laredo, TX

Representative Steve King - 5th Congressional District of Iowa
For Immediate Release - - September 12, 2006
KING TO PRESIDENT: WE CANNOT BASE COUNTRY’S NATIONAL SECURITY ON
ENFORCEMENT PROMISES
Laredo, Texas— U.S. Congressman Steve King (IA-05), member of the House
Immigration Subcommittee, yesterday publicly called on President Bush to
first answer the basic immigration questions in his letter.
"I have called the White House every week for ten weeks asking for a
response to my letter. Each week I got a promise to answer it next
week. This Iowa boy knows that next week never comes." said King. "I
told the White House two weeks ago that if they will not answer the most
basic questions, I would hold a press conference and continue the
discussion through the media. We cannot allow a policy that would
legalize 60 million illegals to be established on a 'promise' of
enforcement."
In his speech to a rally of border residents, King read the text of a
letter he has sent to the President, which rejects any potential guest
worker or temporary worker plan based upon the promise of enforcement.
Texas border residents and the Minutemen project yesterday held a rally
to launch an eight-week project to guard the Texas – Mexico border and
report their findings to Border Patrol agents.
“The American people know what is going on, and they are not going to
lie down and watch some plan be passed into law that is just a veiled
amnesty,” said King. “The government has not even proved that it is
capable of enforcing our current immigration laws. Let’s get our borders
secure, let’s enforce our employment laws first, before we even talk
about their plan to dump millions more foreign workers into this
country.”
The text of the letter is below.
Dear Mr. President:
The foundation of your immigration plan is based on the promise of
enforcement. Americans have seen only a diminishing enforcement effort
for at least twenty years. Neither they, nor I, are willing to accept a
proposal based on an empty promise. If border security and domestic
enforcement cannot be achieved, there is no way we can stop or even slow
down the $65 billion in illegal drugs that enters our country annually
across our southern border. I would appreciate your response to the
following questions:
1) Is there such a thing as too much immigration?
2) If so, how much is too much? Too much legal? Too much illegal?
3) How many people do you believe would be given legal status in the U.S. over the next twenty years if S. 2611 were signed
into law?
4) Would you agree to an annual cap on the number of
immigrants allowed into the U.S.?
5) If the federal government cannot stop the illegal
immigration of individuals who work illegally in the United States how
do you propose we stop $65 billion worth of illegal drugs entering our
country every year?
I look forward to your response. The destiny of our nation hangs in
the balance.
Sincerely,
Steve King
Member of Congress

Washington, DC - On Thursday, Sep 14, three days after the fifth
anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in American history, the House
of Representatives passed HR 6061, the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which
passed by a vote of 283-138. The Act requires the Department of Homeland
Security to beef up border security with a combination of high
technology and a 700-mile fence.
"This is a milestone in border security," said Jim Gilchrist, the
founder of The Minuteman Project, from his command center in Laredo, TX,
where Operation Sovereignty got underway on 9/11 with hundreds of
volunteers. "We couldn't have achieved this without our volunteer
network."
Gilchrist's sentiments were echoed by Minuteman Project executive
director, Steve Eichler, JD; and Dr. Jerome Corsi, co-author, with
Gilchrist, of "Minutemen - the Battle to Secure America's Borders."
"We praise the House leadership for getting this Bill passed," said
Eichler, "but the real heroes are the tens of thousands of Minuteman
Project volunteers who took time to phone, fax and e-mail their
representatives and the House committee; and the many hundreds who have
put their personal lives on hold and spent their own funds to come to
the border to be the eyes and ears of the Border Patrol."
"Of course, we're very pleased about the Secure Fence Act," added Dr.
Corsi, "It looks like they took a chapter from our book, and shows we
have been effective in calling attention to the problems of the wide
open border; but its only a first step. We still need to see increased
personnel and funding for the Border Patrol."
In Laredo, speaking to the volunteers of Operation Sovereignty 9/11,
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) read a letter he'd written to President Bush,
and explained that he'd called the White House for two and a half months
for an answer. "Two weeks ago, I told the White House that if you can't
or won't answer this letter, then I will do so today. That's what I am
doing right now, here in Laredo, Texas, with Jim Gilchrist and the
Minuteman Project."
King's June 23 letter is available in its entirety at The Minuteman
Project website, minutemanproject.com
None of the Minutemen in Laredo could understand why the Bush
administration makes a big show of "locking the front doors," but at the
same time, "leaves the back doors wide open!" But all agreed that
Minuteman Project volunteers on the border, and the tens of thousands of
Minutemen and women who contacted Washington had brought effective
pressure on politicians who had been ignoring the border problem.
"Now," says Gilchrist, "the next step is to convince Senators Kennedy
and McCain that the People know their Senate bill is nothing but smoke
and mirrors; and for them to adopt the House Bill as written. Meanwhile,
the Minutemen will be here, doing the job that government has failed to
do, working with local landowners, law enforcement and the Border
Patrol."
Details on the event are as follows:
Who: Jim Gilchrist, Minuteman Project Founder & volunteers from multiple
states coordinated with the Texas Minutemen, and the American Border
Patrol (AZ)
What: Operation Sovereignty
Where: US/Mexican border near Laredo, TX
When: September 11, - November 7, 2006

Representative Steve King - 5th Congressional District of Iowa
For Immediate Release - - September 12, 2006
KING TO PRESIDENT: WE CANNOT BASE COUNTRY’S NATIONAL SECURITY ON
ENFORCEMENT PROMISES
Laredo, Texas— U.S. Congressman Steve King (IA-05), member of the House
Immigration Subcommittee, yesterday publicly called on President Bush to
first answer the basic immigration questions in his letter.
"I have called the White House every week for ten weeks asking for a
response to my letter. Each week I got a promise to answer it next
week. This Iowa boy knows that next week never comes." said King. "I
told the White House two weeks ago that if they will not answer the most
basic questions, I would hold a press conference and continue the
discussion through the media. We cannot allow a policy that would
legalize 60 million illegals to be established on a 'promise' of
enforcement."
In his speech to a rally of border residents, King read the text of a
letter he has sent to the President, which rejects any potential guest
worker or temporary worker plan based upon the promise of enforcement.
Texas border residents and the Minutemen project yesterday held a rally
to launch an eight-week project to guard the Texas – Mexico border and
report their findings to Border Patrol agents.
“The American people know what is going on, and they are not going to
lie down and watch some plan be passed into law that is just a veiled
amnesty,” said King. “The government has not even proved that it is
capable of enforcing our current immigration laws. Let’s get our borders
secure, let’s enforce our employment laws first, before we even talk
about their plan to dump millions more foreign workers into this
country.”
The text of the letter is below.
Dear Mr. President:
The foundation of your immigration plan is based on the promise of
enforcement. Americans have seen only a diminishing enforcement effort
for at least twenty years. Neither they, nor I, are willing to accept a
proposal based on an empty promise. If border security and domestic
enforcement cannot be achieved, there is no way we can stop or even slow
down the $65 billion in illegal drugs that enters our country annually
across our southern border. I would appreciate your response to the
following questions:
1) Is there such a thing as too much immigration?
2) If so, how much is too much? Too much legal? Too much illegal?
3) How many people do you believe would be given legal status in the U.S. over the next twenty years if S. 2611 were signed
into law?
4) Would you agree to an annual cap on the number of
immigrants allowed into the U.S.?
5) If the federal government cannot stop the illegal
immigration of individuals who work illegally in the United States how
do you propose we stop $65 billion worth of illegal drugs entering our
country every year?
I look forward to your response. The destiny of our nation hangs in
the balance.
Sincerely,
Steve King
Member of Congress

Senator Stevens,Alaska, sitting on the Accountability and Transparency Act
Senator Stevens,Alaska, sitting on the Accountability and Transparency Act
puts anonymous hold on the US senate ?
A spokesman for Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)
has confirmed that the senator is behind an
anonymous hold blocking an earmark reform bill sponsored by Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), and John McCain (R-Ariz.). (TPM Muckraker story)
Alaska pork
An appropriator and former head of the Senate's spending committee, Stevens has been accused of directing large amounts of pork barrel projects to Alaska. This was most recently highlighted by the intense scrutiny of the two "bridges to nowhere" that were included in the law authorizing federal transportation programs through 2010.
On October 20, 2005, Stevens threatened to resign from the Senate if lawmakers passed language that would have stripped money allocated for two bridges in Alaska and redirected it to Hurricane Katrina repairs in Louisiana. [10] (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/20/AR2005102001931.html) That language was defeated, but in the face of intense public and private criticism, Congress later defunded the bridges specifically and instead redirected the money to a pot for Alaska's general transportation use. Stevens said later that he would not resign over this action because the money is not being taken away from Alaska in general. The Senator's comments on December 21, 2005 after a contentious vote on a defense bill from which ANWR provisions had been removed again prompted speculation over his resignation. [11] (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/21/AR2005122102127.html)
On August 30, 2006, a spokesman for Stevens announced that the senator had placed an anonymous hold on the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 sponsored by Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), and John McCain (R-Ariz.). The bill would reform the earmarking process in Congress and, among other things, establish a searchable database of all federal government appropriations.

Chafee a victor in Rhode Island
GOP senator defeats conservative rival in key state primary
By Jill Zuckman
Tribune national correspondent
Published September 13, 2006
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Sen. Lincoln Chafee snatched victory in the Republican primary here Tuesday, giving hope to the GOP that it might be able to keep the seat--and the Senate--out of Democratic hands.
With control of the Senate and President Bush's agenda
at stake in the midterm elections, the National Republican Senatorial Committee poured more than $1 million into
defending the mild-mannered, moderate Chafee against the conservative mayor of Cranston, Stephen Laffey.
Committee officials said only Chafee could beat
a Democrat in November and promised to abandon the state if Laffey were to secure the nomination.

No drug treatment for uninvited illegal aliens in Arizona
No drug treatment for uninvited illegal aliens in Arizona
PHOENIX -- Illegal immigrant juveniles convicted of drug offenses may not be treated at government-funded rehabilitation centers because Proposition 200 and federal law ban public services for such migrants, Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas says.
Thomas also claims that state judges not only have the authority to determine whether a defendant is an illegal immigrant but also a duty to make that finding so that improper referrals are not issued during sentencing.
Judges do not as a rule ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of defendants.
Thomas said "the law is clear that it is not the responsibility of taxpayers to provide rehabilitation services to juvenile delinquents who are illegal immigrants."
His argument was to be filed Wednesday before Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Schwartz.
It appears to contradict a formal opinion issued by Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard in 2004, shortly after Arizonans approved Proposition 200.
Besides requiring voters to prove citizenship before casting ballots, the measure prohibits government employees from delivering public services to undocumented immigrants.
Goddard's office declined to comment Tuesday.
In his earlier opinion, Goddard concluded that Proposition 200 applies only to welfare programs in five specific areas, none of which includes drug treatment.
But assistant County Attorney Anne Longo, who co-authored the brief with Thomas, said the opinions from two of Arizona's top justice officials are not in contradiction.
Danny Ortega, an attorney who unsuccessfully challenged Arizona's Proposition 200 before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last year, said Goddard correctly defined the limits of the law and Thomas' plea is merely a stunt.
Randy Pullen, who chaired the Yes on Proposition 200 campaign, said the law was written to cover "all (government) services that aren't emergency services" and Thomas' interpretation is appropriate.
Thomas said there are no data showing how many undocumented juvenile defendants appear in Maricopa County courts each year or how many are referred to tax-financed treatment centers.
He blamed the lack of information on a "conspiracy of silence" about illegal immigration within the justice system.
Elias Bermudez, president of Immigrants without Borders, said drug dependence is a disease and a child's addiction should be viewed as a medical emergency beyond the restrictions of Proposition 200.

Sept 11 from Gov Janet Napolitano
Monday, September 11, 2006
Dear Friends:
Today is the fifth anniversary of the deadliest attack ever on United States soil, a day that we will always remember as “9/11.” It was one of those rare moments in time that we will each recall exactly where we were and what we were doing when we heard the shocking news about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Everything changed on September 11, 2001. Our country mourned for the nearly 3,000 Americans who tragically lost their lives on that day, and for the loved ones of the fallen. The week was eerily quiet – no airplanes roamed the skies of our nation, and water cooler talk was somber. Images on television and the Internet replayed video footage of the planes that took down the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the smoke-filled air of portions of the Pentagon destroyed by a hijacked airliner, and the remains of yet another hijacked plane near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, United Flight 93, believed to be bound for our nation’s capitol, also linked to the attacks. Many businesses closed down for the day, and games of our national pastime – baseball – were postponed for reasons other than weather.
But our nation rebounded, and as Americans, we emerged stronger than ever. So that we indeed never forget the significance of that day, Arizona now has a permanent memorial to September 11, 2001 in Wesley Bolin Plaza, for those of us who can recall where we were at that very moment, and for generations to come who were not yet born or old enough to remember. The structure is the work of the Governor’s 9/11 Memorial Commission, which has worked tirelessly over the past several years to raise private funds from individuals and corporations to pay for the building of the memorial. On September 11th of every year, a portion of steel from the World Trade Center, taken from the site of what came to be known as “Ground Zero,” will be illuminated by sunlight at exactly 12:00 noon. Also included in the structure is soil from the site of Flight 93’s crash, and a piece of the Pentagon damaged on that day.
I am hopeful that in the coming weeks, months and years, each and every one of you will take the time to visit the memorial, whether on 9/11 or any other day. I think you will find it is a fitting and thoughtful tribute to the Americans who lost their lives on 9/11/01, and to the strength that we have built since. I urge you to share your experience with your fellow Arizonans, and encourage others to visit and remember.
Yours very truly,
Janet Napolitano

weekly letter from Gov Janet Napolitano, democrat
Thursday, August 17, 2006
Dear, Friends
While we continue to work to secure our border from illegal crossings and drug smugglers, we cannot forget how important legal commerce with Mexico is to the economy of Arizona. As a state, we have taken numerous steps to crack down on illegal immigration, while at the same time sustaining legal trade with Mexico, Arizona’s number one trading partner.
To meet that goal, we have opened and dedicated the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) lanes at the Mariposa Port of Entry in Nogales, which will enable commercial traffic to flow more quickly into the United States. Arizona partners with a variety of organizations in the public and private sector on economic development projects, and FAST is a prime example of how such cooperation can benefit our economy, and, at the same time, enhance border security.
Arizona invested roughly $4 million to double Mariposa’s commercial lanes, providing dedicated lanes for pre-screened, low-risk trucks enrolled in the FAST program. Increasing the number of lanes allows them to move through the border in a more efficient manner. Because these vehicles are often carrying perishable items, such as fruits and vegetables, it is critical that these trucks stay on schedule.
The FAST lanes are an infrastructure improvement much like the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers’ Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) lane that also opened in Nogales, at the DeConcini port of entry, earlier this year. SENTRI is similar to FAST in that it allows low-risk, prescreened travelers to more quickly pass through Arizona and Mexico.
These projects were completed with the cooperation of the Bush Administration, the Arizona-Mexico Commission (AMC), the Border Trade Alliance (BTA), the CANAMEX Corridor Coalition, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), local governments and the private sector. Additionally, the Greater Nogales and Santa Cruz County Port Authority, Arizona’s Congressional Delegation, the Mexican federal government and the Sonoran government offered valuable support.
As always, I appreciate your input, and encourage you to call my office at 602.542.1318 if you have questions or thoughts to share. Or, please visit our website at http://www.azgovernor.gov for information and news in state government.

Campaign Finance Effort Resumes, Without McCain
Campaign Finance Effort Resumes, Without McCain
The quartet of lawmakers behind every major federal campaign finance restriction in the past decade is suddenly missing one of its members.
The elided surnames of the four men, "McCain-Feingold-Shays-Meehan," have become synonymous with so-called campaign finance reform, but Senator McCain, a Republican of Arizona, is conspicuously absent from the latest effort.
On Wednesday, Senator Feingold, a Democrat of Wisconsin, Rep. Martin Meehan, a Democrat of Massachusetts, and Rep. Christopher Shays, a Republican of Connecticut, introduced a bill to revive the crumbling system for public financing of presidential campaigns.
The bill is largely identical to a measure all four men introduced in 2003, but this time around Mr. McCain is not on board.
A spokeswoman for Mr. McCain, Eileen McMenamin, did not return calls seeking comment for this article, but several people involved in discussions about the legislation said the senator's absence was related to his widely expected bid for the presidency in 2008.

Senator Mccain to give $100 billion in royalities to Indians ????
$100 billion in dispute
Senator Mccain to give $100 billion in royalities to Indians ????
McCain races to solve tribal funds dispute
WASHINGTON - The next few days may be Sen. John McCain's last best opportunity to resolve 10-year-old litigation against the federal government over billions of dollars in mineral royalties and land leases long denied to Native American landowners.
With time running out on the congressional session as well as on McCain's chairmanship of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, the Arizona Republican has set a hearing for Wednesday to finalize details of his bill to settle the class-action dispute.
The effort to bring together the opposing sides is a test of McCain's political pull and power of persuasion as he eyes a possible run for the presidency in 2008. advertisement
He needs to forge a settlement that satisfies Native Americans while it overcomes objections from congressional opponents who worry about the costs to taxpayers, including funds for retracing and verifying individual accounts and money owed. That is a goal that no one to date has managed to accomplish.
The case could linger for years longer in the court system if McCain's bill cannot solve the matter.
"I'm taking him for his word that he would work as hard as he could to get justice for Indian people," Eloise Cobell, a Blackfoot rancher and banker from Montana who filed the class-action lawsuit in 1996, said Thursday.
The lawsuit, Cobell vs. Kempthorne, seeks to force the government to account for billions of dollars held in trust for as many as 500,000 American Indians and their heirs. It alleges that royalty payments the federal government was supposed to distribute to thousands of individual Native Americans have been mismanaged for more than a century.
$100 billion in dispute
Cobell's lawyers have asserted that the Department of the Interior owes the landowners at least $100 billion, much of it tied to royalties for farming, grazing, mining, logging and other activities on tribal lands.
In Arizona, thousands of Native Americans and their heirs could be owed money.
Last summer, McCain and Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., top Democrat on the Indian Affairs Committee, filed a bill to resolve the long-standing lawsuit. It called for creation of a settlement fund and an overhaul of how the Interior Department manages land and money for tribes and individual landowners.
But before unveiling that legislation, McCain warned at a March 9, 2005, hearing that although he promised as Indian Affairs Committee chairman to make reforming the trust fund a priority, he would give the effort "only one good shot."
"If it looks like we're not getting anywhere, if the tribes, the government or other interested parties cannot come to terms on a settlement of the lawsuit and what trust reform should be, then I will leave that task to a future Congress and the courts," McCain said.
If Republicans retain control of the Senate, McCain is widely expected to become chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee next year when Sen. John Warner, R-Va., steps down after his six-year term ends. If that happens, McCain would not continue as Indian Affairs chairman.
'One good shot'
Cobell said she believes the upcoming week is McCain's self-described "one good shot."
McCain's communications director, Eileen McMenamin, had no comment Thursday on the senator's efforts.
But one of Cobell's lawyers, Keith Harper, said the dollar amount McCain proposes for the settlement fund and other specifics of the bill will be key to whether Congress will have a real chance to settle the issue this year.
Given Congress' scheduled recess, Aug. 7-Sept. 4, and midterm elections, any further delays likely would mean an end to the bill, Harper said.
Last year, plaintiffs in the long-running lawsuit offered to settle the case for $25 billion despite their claims that the amounts owed by the Interior Department to Indian landowners exceeded $100 billion.
But Cobell and her lawyers say they have learned McCain's bill would put the settlement amount to be paid by the government even lower, at $8 billion .
"We haven't commented on that," McMenamin said.
Dorgan's office did not return a call Thursday seeking comment.
"It's much less than what we wanted," Cobell said. "I don't think it's fair."
But as lead plaintiff in the case, Cobell said she must consider that rejecting that amount would result in the bill's likely death and continuing court battles.
She said many of the would-be beneficiaries are elderly and are going to die before a settlement.
Cobell said the Indian plaintiffs would prefer to settle and move on. But she said she also doesn't want to just discard hard-fought District Court victories that have validated claims that the government's handling of the accounts was a breach of trust.
"We've got to hope that McCain will take up our cause in a rightful way," Cobell said, adding that what also is at stake is how the trust accounts will be managed in the future.
