Did you hear what
our United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, said in an interview with the
NY
Times?
Last week, speaking
to the National Association of Attorneys General, Mr. Holder encouraged state
attorneys general to ignore and not defend laws they personally disagree with.
You read that
right.
Clearly, our United
States Attorney General does not understand his role. I was recently quoted in a
Weekly
Standard article pointing out that attorneys general are the last lines
of defense against the overreach of the Obama Administration:
“Arizonans deserve
an attorney general who understands the federal and the state constitution, that
makes sure that all of our rights and liberties are protected, and whether
that’s protecting us from federal encroachment, such as Obamacare, and making
sure that the rule of law is upheld.” (Weekly
Standard, March 3, 2014, VOL.19, NO. 24).
The attorney
general is the defender of the state constitution. Arizona needs an attorney
general who will not selectively enforce the law based upon personal opinions.
It is not up to the
attorney general to pick winners and losers or choose which laws to defend based
upon their personal beliefs. The role of the attorney general is to uphold and
defend the law and the will of the voters.
Please Visit my web site to get involved and help me to continue spreading my message of restoring integrity to the Office of
Attorney General and will allow me to stand up for Arizona.
Thank
you,

P.S. Unlike
Attorney General Holder, I will not be an activist AG.
