TURN AZ BLUE!

| Our Mission |
- We intend to bring together activists, bloggers, and voters to work toward progressive political change in Arizona.
- By sharing information and keeping each other informed, we can coordinate efforts to promote progressive causes and candidates.
- We hope to provide a forum for local Democratic candidates to present their positions on issues of concern to Arizonans.
- Anyone who shares our goals is welcome to join and contribute.
- The age of open source politics is here. Lobbyists and special interests have run Arizona for too long.
- Let's take back Arizona from the big money special interests and the right wing crazies!

From the Department of You Just Can't Make This Shit Up:
We don't racially profile, we just stop people who look Meskin.
When a CBS 5 News reporter asked the sheriff how his deputies determined when to question about their immigration status during a news conference Saturday he replied, "Certain criteria -- no identification, look like you just came from Mexico, and they admit it. So that's enough."
"It's absolutely not racial profiling," said director of custody Jerry Sheridan Monday.
What are these DOJ people doing in my press conference?
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is accusing U.S. Department of Justice officials of trying to sneak into a news conference by posing as reporters. His lawyer says he will file a complaint.
The Department of Justice admits investigators from the civil rights division attended the news conference, but says the investigators identified themselves as Justice Department officials and then left when told the press conference was closed to the public.
The dispute took place on Friday, when Arpaio held a 5 p.m. press conference at the Sheriff's Office substation on Bell Road near Dysart Road in Surprise to talk about his latest crime sweep.
The Department of Justice is conducting a civil-rights investigation stemming from allegations that deputies are illegally profiling Latino motorists during the crime sweeps in order to look for illegal immigrants.
Seriously, they think MCSO engages in illegal profiling? Wherever would they get that idea?
Just remember, Sheriff Joe enforces ALL of the laws, even the ones that don't exist.
