The Mesa Compact - Is it Coming

Is there a Mesa Compact on the horizon in Mesa's the near future? Maybe so given the Mesa's Council meeting last night. I appears that there are four votes needed to pass such a measure on the council, they are: Dave Richins, Alex Finter, Dina Higgins and Dennis Kavanaugh.

Last night at the Mesa City Council meeting Randy Parraz fresh off his victory over Russell Pearce presented in-conjunction with East Valley Patriots for American Values (play on words) presented a new proposed revised Mesa Compact. The faith based group as they claim want to change the tone of discussion on the issue of immigration.

They want to make it more friendly and less harsh of a discussion. This sounds vaguely familiar to Randy Parraz and his cohort Jerry Lewis in the recall election. As we remember it was this very same discussion that ripped through Mesa during the heated debate between the Jerry Lewis (1964 Alabama) supporters and  Russell Pearce (American Patriot) supporters. One group wanting the enforcement of laws and the other the turning of cheek, like Christ did.

It was also during this debate that Randy Parraz and his supporters went out of their way to to defame anybody who supported Russell Pearce or who even wanted to run in the election. It was Randy Parraz, Michael Wright and Tom Rayn basically who sought to take away people first amendment right of free speech by filing bogus lawsuits.

So as this debate goes forward and people come forward in support of or opposition to a Mesa Compact if Randy Parraz will bully any council member who doesn't support the compact.
