Jan Brewer Shills for Russell Pearce, and More in the Pearce Recall

http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bastard/2011/07/jan_brewer_shills_for_russell.php

Governor Jan Brewer is helping raise money for the man many have called the de facto governor of Arizona: state Senate President Russell Pearce. In an e-mail blast sent out today, Brewer asks recipients to donate to Citizens Who Oppose the Pearce Recall, and links to the organization's Web site, http://www.protectanamericanpatriot.com/">protectanamericanpatriot.com.

Brewer goes on to tout Pearce's anti-immigrant legislation, though CBA never made immigration an issue in its signature drive, on its petition statement, on its Web site, or in any of the statements of its organizers.

But there's one big reason Brewer's beating the anti-immigrant drum: That's what gets the wingnuts out there to write checks.

In fact, Pearce stays away from immigration for the most part, mentioning "secure borders" only in passing. ... Pearce's statement will not convince people suffering through this recession that everything's hunky-dory. But at least he realizes that bashing Mexicans will not get him past the recall...
