The video above was taken on Day 2 of the Spring Break at the Capitol week-long protests.
There was a hosted BBQ on the lawn in the tent you can see. I heard it was hosted by the Chamber of Commerce and they are actually opposed to SB1611 and the other anti-immigrant bills since our budget is being neglected and Arizona’s image is scaring off business.
All the legislators were invited and even Jan Brewer showed up.
State senator Steve Gallardo meets with the protesters at the State Capitol.
There were many things going on, and I was sometimes talking to our elected officials, so I captured video when I could, but you can meet some of Arizona’s angels and demons, depending on your perspective.
I captured video of many from the Tucson delegation, and even some of Arizona’s more infamous characters, such as the flat-top and mustached man from Lake Havasu, Ron Gould, author of the 14th Amendment bills and the firearms omnibus.
Yet there was one state senator that requires armed escort when she walks by.
Can you guess who?
It is a Democrat, and she not only voted for two of the 26 anti-immigrant bills, she’s the only Democrat to have written her own, SB1225, that has Ron Gould and Scott Bundgaard as co-sponsors.
The Democratic Diva herself, Kyrsten Sinema, who knows what is best for the Latino community over Latinos, ignoring our calls to kill her anti-immigrant bill, ignoring a lot of what we say because she knows what is best for us. Wanna approach her and ask her questions? The state capitol police will send you away.
To enter the building she needed TWO armed guards, and went in the back way to avoid us. Now what fun is that?
This was definitely the funnest event so far, what we call the Walk of Shame, or the Walk of Fame depending on how you’ve been voting lately.
Krysten Sinema, we will vote you out!! You have sold us out and you no longer represent what “We the People” want for the State of Arizona. BTW: I am not from the Hispanic community. I represent light skinned Arizonans and you REFUSE to hear us too!!
Classic– pigs dine at the trough of the Chamber of Commerce while the disenfranchised heckle them. Keep up the good work!
She is the only Senator with enough courage to always challenge Pearce. No one fights him like she does.
She’s the only senator that has said, on TV, that she loves Russell Pearce
Why all the Women bashing? Do you hate women? Or just the ones who don’t agree with you?
[...] bill, she is now being heckled at her press conferences by leftists and has to be escorted around the capitol by armed guards. And what do the Three Sonorans of Tuscon (which is the home of the new “civility [...]
It is sad that there are so many mindless sheep that are so easily led by the people that profit from the lack of immigration control, border control, and development of an effective citizenship program. The Hispanic immigrants are the losers in this. Who gains by keeping the “Hispanic community” Hispanic, instead of “American”? Who benefits from separation, discontent and bigotry? Certainly not the immigrants. Look toward the “Hispanic American” leaders that would lose their power and control, if “Hispanic Americans” were just “Americans”. The same division is empowered by making sure “African Americans” keep thinking of themselves a separate community. The Sicilian community didn’t benefit from keeping itself separate, but the scumbag “Godfathers” sure did. Why do you think those leaders discourage becoming fluent in English? One more factor to ensure separation.

Looks like the GOP money machine is crying uncle since the only thing which hurts a corporation is their bottom line and cash flow!:-)
Interesting…..so now Kyrsten is pretending to be a Gabby Giffords. Too bad she doesn’t hold a candle to Gabby Giffords…..heck, Sinema doesn’t hold a candle to Felecia Rotellini. Sinema had a bunch of her constituents who chanted against her. They made no threats except to ensure her political career would be over.
Sinema has no choice but to fight Russell Pearce, she’s a democrat. She wants her cake and eat it too….she wants to appear tough on immigration, too, and wants good little Hispanics to shut up and look the other way when she over-criminalizes anti-immigrant laws that are already on the books. It’s too bad her district consists of a strong Hispanic population that will vote her out. I am looking forward to that.
