Bob Worsley has a new YouTube video out titled Bob Worsley - "Everywhere" and I have to ask the question, "What is it suppose to tell us?" Watch the video and then I will give you my thoughts.
Now I ask again. What is Bob Worsley trying to tell us in this video? That he is everywhere? So what. Where cares if he is down by the river, or in the middle of the desert or in the car wash. He still isn't telling Mesa voters what his plans to do down at the legislature, how he would balance the budget, protect Mesa voters from the crimes and death committed by illegals.
I want to know his understanding to the constitution, states rights, gun control, education, taxes and a whole lot of other issues. I could care less about him being everywhere. I've been to everyplace he has and so what, so has Russell Pearce.
Little giggles and song may sell items on airplanes, on websites and shopping malls but it doesn't get legislation done.
One other thing, who cares if the Phoenix Chambers of Commerce supports you, that is Phoenix not Mesa.
Get real Bob Worsley, talk about the issues not that you have been everywhere!

Does Kirk Adams Still Feel This Way About Russell Pearce?
As the attacks against Russell Pearce continue to increase from the likes of Beth Coons (daughter of Ross Farnsworth Sr., Owner Farnsworth Wholesale Company), Tyler Montague (son of Dea Montague attorney & Senior Operation consultant at Bank of America free checking illegals), Liana Clarkson (teach at Mountain View High School), Jerry Lewis (administrator at Sequia Charter Schools) , Chad Snow (immigration attorney & workers rights), Randy Parraz (fail senate candidate for congress & founder of Citizen for Better Arizona), Caroline Cooper and the left, who are all supporting Bob Worsley, including Kirk Adams and Congressman Jeff Flake.
Here is what Kirk Adams had to say back in 2008 when Russell was under attack. I wonder if Kirk Adams stills feels the same today?
Subject: AZ Republic Article
The Arizona Republic (Phoenix)August 15, 2008 Friday
Final Chaser EditionAs a member of the Arizona House of Representatives, it has been my opportunity to observe and work with Rep. Russell Pearce. During my service in the Legislature I have never observed any language or conduct that even closely approximates the vicious attacks recently levied against him.
Vicious attacks on Pearce unfair
SECTION: MESA REPUBLIC 11; Pg. 26
LENGTH: 120 words
The outlandish and offensive attacks are perhaps the low point in the continuing slide toward the politics of personal destruction. As an elected official and a voter I wish to condemn the attacks in the strongest possible terms. We must no longer sit by and allow our political discourse to descend to the depths of something worthy of The Jerry Springer Show.
The voters of Mesa, and of Arizona, deserve better.
-- Rep. Kirk Adams, Mesa

The Tactics Used By The Left To Fight Conservatism
The Blaze put up a piece called Meet Soros-Funded Domestic Terrorist Brett Kimberlin Whoe "Job" Is Terrorizing Bloggers Into Silence and it got me think.
You see Brett C. Kimberlin, who this is about got 50 years in prison for a bombing spree in which he only served 17 years. During that time he got a law degree and when he got out he created a movement called Justice Through Music and Velvet Revolution, both left wing organization fund by the like of George Soros. Mr. Kimberlin through the use of these organization and his left wing friends and the courts have gone after conservative blogger and individual with a vengeance. They used lawsuits, intimidation, false accusations, whisper campaigns and innuendos to shut people up. You've got to read it to believe it.
After reading the story I couldn't help but compare it to what Randy Parraz, Citizens For A Better Arizona, Tyler Montague, Beth Coons, Lianna Clarkson and the Jerry Lewis supports did during the recall election against anybody and everybody who supported Russell Pearce. If you recall, they went after Olivia Cortez with lawsuits, her bishop and Michael Wright tried to intimidate her by visiting her in her home. Stephen Lemons of the Phoenix New Times wrote slanderous stories about, Bruce Ross, Russell Pearce and other supporters. Randy Parraz & Carolyn Cooper used the daughter of one of Russell Pearce's supporters in an attempt to intimidate and humiliate into submission (which apparently work).
You see this is the only way the left can win. They don't have legs to stand on and their arguments don't hold water. To see these tactics in action all you have to do is look around at the campaign tactics being used against conservative candidates and their supporters.
Randy Parraz, Citizens For A Better Arizona and Stephen Lemons of the Phoenix New Times are even at it again, in the Bob Worsley and Russell Pearce. Except this time they are trying not to make it so obvious.

Who Really Is The One Note Piano Player
Recently Bob Worsley put out up a YouTube video suggesting that Senator Russell Pearce was a one note musician with inference that Bob Worsley was a masterful musician who could bring all the notes together and make music we will all find appealing.
I've got to say pretty well done. So lets take a closer look at the masterful musician Bob Worsley and the music he is playing . Lets take a look at the truth of Bob's music notes. Musician Worsley says that he will he will play the notes of Economy, Family, Lower Taxes, Jobs, Cut Spending, Education
Bob Worsley on the Economy - Bob has to do a poll to telling him that people are concerned about their jobs but yet Bob laid off over 40% of workforce at the Showlow alternative fuels Bio-Mass Electrical Plant
Bob Worsley on Family - Bob defend Phoenix New Time in sex crime against kids, yet touts his family values.
Bob Worsley on Lower Taxes - . Bob and wife Christe donate to Democrat Harry Reid, take tax dollars then file bankruptcy on Show Low Bio Mass plant. That's called sticking it to tax payers.
Bob Worsley on Jobs - . Claims he has created over a thousand jobs, but where is the questions. His companies laid off 42% of employees at business in Show Low area. Now has a land and mineral holding company that doesn't employ anybody. At Skymall there wasn't a 1,000 employees, it was a catalog company that took orders.
Bob Worsley on Spending Cuts - Supports those who will raise taxes, Raul Gravala, Harry Reid, Support Primary Property Tax on Mesa Residents.
Bob Worsley on Education - Associate with Saul Alinsky's IAF and the MEA.
Russell Pearce on the other hand is a proven Champion on all these issues and has a track record to prove it. So who is the masterful musician after all?

Bob Worsley Defends Phoenix New Times & Prostitution
![]() |
| Bob Worsley Support Phoenix New Times |
Bob Worsley, a senate candidate for legislative district 25 in Mesa Arizona defends the Phoenix New Times and it's parent company The Village Voice against an advertising boycott promoted by the radio show Ban Amnesty Now.
Mr. Worsley or Bob, tries to compare this sex trafficking boycott to the boycott promoted by Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva when he called for a boycott of Arizona over SB1070. You see Bob Worsley is no fan of SB1070 and before he sanitized his Mormon.org profile to make himself more appealing to a larger crowd of people, he was critical of the law and still is. Question, does run for political office mean you have to sanitize?
The Phoenix New Times, it's siblings and parent company account for about 70% of all prostitution advertising in the United States. 48 State Attorney Generals and 19 U.S. Senators on both side of party lines have called on them to stop running these sex ads.
These ads have been tied to sex trafficking and crimes against children. Bob what are you smoking these days, oops you don't smoke, it is against your religion. Investigations of these crimes, perpetuated by the Phoenix New Times have lead to the arrest of more than 50 people in 22 states.
Millions of dirty dollars flow into the Phoenix New Times and it's parent company each year because sex ads. Does Bob Worsley really have a problem with parents, grandparents and Arizona residents protecting their families? Does Bod have a problem bring attention to these sex crimes and the Phoenix New Times, which directly benefit?
Bob Worsley even went on to criticize Dan Harkins and Harkins Theaters for pulling their advertising. Saying that they where bullied into doing it. Bob are you so off the mark on family values that you think a family oriented business would want to be associated with a business who's business model is human trafficking and prostitution? This also goes for Buddy Stubbs Harley Davidson. Bob maybe all these years of gold digging and buying up mining claims has done something to your thought process? Dan and Buddy I applaud you and your business for taking the stand you have.
I will be going to the movies this weekend and I will be telling Dan Harkins thank you. Will you?
P.S. Bob Worsley wants to run a clean and above the board campaign. I think Bob and Sean Noble made a big mistake here in supporting the Phoenix New Times and sex trafficking business model. I will be interested to see what other dirty trick will they pull out of their hat as we get closer to election time. We will just have to wait and see. One thing for sure will be the Mormon card.

Senator Rich Crandall, Carpet Bagger from Mesa
![]() |
| Rich Crandall |
Carpet Bagger, refers to a politician who runs for public office in an area where he or she does not have deep community ties, or has lived for a short time.
As reported by azcentral, Rich Crandall with be running after all but not against Bob Worsley or Russell Pearce but in an entirely different district.He is picking up his family and moving from the gate community in which he lives at Brown and Greenfield roads to a place a little further east.
In his new district her will be representing east Mesa, Apache Junction and Gold Canyon. He will be running against John Fillmore. If Mr. Fillmore needs help with information on Rich all he will have to do is ask. I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to help stop Rich dead in his tracks.
Rich is always at the bottom of the barrel for Republican Values and more times than not he vote for bigger government and less personal freedoms. As anybody that knows him and will say nice things to your face and then stab you in the back just to get ahead in the game.
Rich runs a food nutrition company that is owned on paper by his mother, but in reality is run by him. This is to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest on deal with matters concerning his votes on education. His vote consistently side with the public education system because of his ties and contracts with public schools.
Be very careful of this carpet bagger and snake oil salesman.

Mesa Public School Wants $250 Million From You!
Mesa Public Schools $250 Million Bonds
As reported in the East Valley Tribune, Mesa Public Schools or MPS is looking to hit Mesa's residents with a $250 million bond package for maintenance and repairs. That is Maintenance and repair for it's 87 campuses. If approved by voters, the bonds will be paid back with a tax levied on
on real estate, in other words your home.
Over the years Mesa residents have approved bond package after bond package after bond package. As a result Mesa Public Schools have become dependent on your taxes to sustain themselves. When they are short on money they go to the public trough to cover the shortfall, knowing darn well that you the public will always fund education with out question. Why because they kow we want what ia best for your kids. They play on our emotions.This is not an emotional issue.
While there my be a need for bonds and I do believe they have a purpose, I do not believe that they should be used for maintenance and repairs. If you are going to use credit (bonds) it should be used for something that outlives the payback period and returns something to you.
So before you vote to approve the bonds ask yourself and ask Mesa Public schools these simple questions. 1) What is the money going to be used for? 2) Whats the expected life of the item? 3) What is the payback period and will the item out live the payback period? If the answer to the last question is "NO" then the
vote on the bonds should be "NO"
Think before you vote. Ask yourself would I do the same with my on money?

Who Is Rich Crandall kidding?
![]() |
| Bob Worsley Environmentalist |
Rich Crandall said that he respects his wife's opinion "She saw what they did to Jerry Lewis and his family (during the recall campaign), and she didn't want to go through it".
Little does she know that her husband Rich was behind the attacks on Russell Pearce, Pearce's family and supporters during the recall elections. Crandall worked right along the side of Randy Parraz and Parraz's supporters, attacking everybody and anybody that stood with Russell Pearce. Parraz even took other candidates to court to keep them from talking and to shut people up about the truth.
Come on Rich who are you kidding. "For the good of Mesa, I stepped aside. The people of Mesa care more that Russell isn't in (the Senate) than that Rich is, if you know what I mean...." Rich are you stepping aside because you know deep down in your heart that you can't win against Russell Pearce?
This from the man who didn't show up for 254 votes in the Arizona Legislature. From the man who was the president of the Mesa Public School Board at the same time he was serving in the legislature, yet didn't see the burden of decreasing student enrollment on Mesa Public Schools and their budget. Or the man who called his opponent daily in order to get Jame Molino to drop out of the race against him.
Rich Crandall is in this for him and not for the residents of Mesa Arizona.
As for Bob Worsley that is yet to be seen but if he is hooking up with the likes of Randy Parraz, Michael Wright, Tyler Montegue, Beth Coons, Jeff Flake, Kirk Adams and the open boarder crowd you better watch out because things will get dirty in a hurry.
PS. Bob is already sanitizing himself to make him look more electable shall we say.

Is Mesa Being a Bully in The Fiesta Mall District?
We tell our children the being a Bully is a bad thing and that it should be reported. Schools are expelling kids they call Bullies and police are being called in other instances, as was the case with West Mesa's Senator Jerry Lewis's kids growing up.
Yet it appears that it is OK for government and it's different agencies to be Bullies. Case in point, the City of Mesa for years has been Bulling WM Grace Development Co. to do something with the property they own at Southern and Alma School in Mesa Arizona which at one time was the Fiesta Village Shopping Center.
As the area went into economic decline and with the over building of retail space in the area so did the property. The area can no longer support the amount of retail space that is available, yet the city of Mesa and Dennis Kavanaugh seem to think that it can.
In the City of Mesa's and Dennnis Kavanaugh's attempt to Bully the property owner, they are have filed additional complaints and now are using Adam Rolnick the owner of Oasis Insurance to once again attempt to Bully the property owner into submission. (Oasis Insurance make a lot of money off of insuring illegal immigrants car's and providing other services to illegal immigrants.)
What Dennis Kavanaugh and the City of Mesa fail to realize is that it is not governments role to dictate to the property owner what they can and can't do with their property no matter how much they disagree with how the property is being used. The City of Mesa has no constitutional authority to force a property owner to spend millions of dollars in revitalizing a property. The government does a good job of providing unfunded mandates.
The City of Mesa's role should be to provide a sound bases where economic development can prosper. If the City of Mesa is going to provide incentives to one developer, they should provide them to all property developers. The City of Mesa and Dennis Kavanaugh forget that it was the incentives to Marti Dorito, Kimco and River View which hastened the demise of the Fiesta Mall area. As the opponents to the incentives pointed out during that debate, the retailers in the Fiesta Mall area would move to River View and what did they do? They moved.
So if the City of Mesa and Mr. Kavanaugh want something done with the area give the Grace Company a reason to redevelop the area. Don't Bully them. With all the Bulling that they have done to date, has just cause Grace Company to dig in their heels.

Mesa's Senator Jerry Lewis Ranks as a Big Government Spender
The Pachyderm Coalitions is out with their Ranking of the Republican Legislators and guess what the Senator who was suppose to be just as conservative at Senator Russell Pearce, isn't so conservative.
Senator Jerry Lewis ranked as a Big Government Republican. fourth from the bottom in his scoring. The only Republican Senator in Mesa to score less was Lewis co-defendent Rich Crandall who scored at the bottom of the least as a bipartisan Republican.
Mesa's goes from having one of the most conservative Republicans to one of the most liberal Republicans.
I guess the "hand" has spoken and the only good thing about this is that we know Lewis true colors, oops the majority of Republicans already know this.

Mesa Keeping Revenue Generating Traffic Cameras!
The City of Mesa will be keeping Traffic Cameras for another two years. In a vote the Mesa City Council took this week, they voted to keep them. With a change of heart, Alex Finter who has been a critic in the past of these cameras is now calling for them to stay. He is even going so far as to say Mesa has a chance to make this a model program for the state and country to follow.
The program was implemented in 2006 after a Rhode Junior High student was killed in 2005 on Baseline Road. Police Commander Bill Peters say that the cameras have reduced traffic accidents at one intersection from 694 in 2005 to 370 in 2010. The police officer can't say for sure that the cameras have been the only reason for the decrease in accidents.
Are traffic cameras worth giving up your constitutional right and for what a little safety? The Police and the Mesa City Council want you to think so. Rights once given up are hard to take back.
Courts have started getting wise and so too is the public when it comes to Red Light Cameras, Speed Cameras and the other so called traffic safety cameras and rights. In most cases they are a big money scam for city's and most of the money doesn't go to city, to goes to the vendor.

Mesa Public Schools Wants You & Me To Digger A Little Deeper Into Our Pockets.
Mesa Public Schools is ready to ask the already struggling residents of Mesa to dig a little deeper into their pockets to the tune of $250 million dollars. I don't know about you, but I certainly don't have much more room to dig. I'm afraid the next swing of the pick and I will go right through my pockets.
Of the last bond package which the school did in 2005 which was 212 million dollars, they are going to use the last remaining 1.9 million dollars to demolish the old Mesa Junior High. Something about using bond money for demolition of a school strikes me as kind of funny, it just doesn't feel right to use tax payer money to destroy rather than to build.
MPS says they need the money to make repairs to buildings and to upgrade the technology at the schools. I have a problem with that on a couple of fronts. First the bond repayment period will extend beyond the useful life of the technology and upgrades they will be buying. That is just bad money management, rule #1 of good money management is that the item you finance should give a return beyond the finance period and not by just one year. Technology is basically technology is obsolete after a couple of years not 20 or 30 years.
Next why is Mesa Schools using bond money for maintenance? I would think that a well planned out budget for Mesa Public Schools would included a line item for long term maintenance. Did someone forget to add a line item for that? If they did the budget director should be fired.
For years Mesa Public Schools has played loose with tax payer money and now it is time to Mesa residents to say NO to this next round of bonds. Let the economy recover and let me and you find a job before you stick it to us again.

Senator Russell Pearce Isn't Dead! He Is Alive!
After Senator Russell Pearce defeat in the recall election with Jerry H. Lewis, people thought that Russell would just quietly go away into retirement. There has been lots of speculation as to what Russell Pearce is going to do. The rumors started flying this week when Ken Bennett screwed up and make a comment about how Russell had filed papers for the LD25 district. Russell said that lots of people have asked him to run but he hasn't made that determination as of yet. That is a race I would like to see Senator Rich Crandall, a friend of Randy Parraz's and La Raza against Arizona own Senator Pearce.
As I understand it, he is enjoying the free time and is now enjoying a radio show on KFNX 1100 called "Ban Amnesty Now" it show airs on Monday nights from 7pm to 8pm. He discusses the issues surrounding illegal immigration and the cost to the people of Arizona an the United States.
So until Russell decide to run again we will have to listen in on the Radio.
Holiday For White People Proposed By Rep. Cecil Ash
Did Representative Cecil Ash of Mesa Arizona really propose a holiday for white people? Apparently so. Well why not we have a holiday for everybody else. If Randy Parraz, Chad Snow and Senator Jerry Lewis get their way we may just need one.

Mesa Senator Rich Crandall Beat Your Wife In Your Home
City of Mesa's Senator Rich Crandall last week told Senator Bungaard that if he is going to beat his wife, he should do it in his own home. How stupid can you be?
These are the words coming from a man or should I say a weasel, and sits on the boards of New Leaf, and Arizona Brain Food. New Leaf is an organization that helps those with domestic violence. If I was one of the other board members at New Leaf, I would be asking for him to step down.
Senator Crandall also sits on a board called Arizona Brain Food, which is run by women and provides food to school kids on the weekends. I would ask this board, is this really the kind of a man representing them before the public and children? What kind of example is he to the young people of this community?
These kinds of comments are totally unbecoming of an elected official as were the actions of Senator Bungaard. This is comparable to what Anthony Wiener did with his photo on Twitter and which was his demise as an elected official.
If I was Senator Crandall's wife and kids I would be totally embarrassed by these actions. If this is the kind of thing he says in public, what does he say about people in private?
I would ask you to call Senator Crandall's office and ask him to resign from the legislature. He can be reached at: (602) 926-3020

Can Mesa Police Handle A Gun?
Can the president of one of Mesa's police unions handle a gun?
The answer is obviously yes, expect when it comes to talking with and about the residents of Mesa or the City.
Ryan Russell who is the president of one Mesa's two police unions, shouldn't be allowed to speak on behalf of the City of Mesa's police or at least he shouldn't be given a gun to carry on their behalf. Ryan's comments to the Mesa Tribune may just have cost him a couple of toes and the toes of a few other officers. Well maybe not literally.
Ryan, in his comments to the Meas Tribune, said that he was surprised that Mesa was ranked 7th as one of the safest cities to live in. He said that he is seeing just the opposite and that Mesa residents should be concerned with the direction the city's crimes are going.

West Mesa CDC - What Is It Doing?
One of the organizations established by Dave Richins, a sitting City of Mesa council member, is the West Mesa Community Development Corporation (WMCDC). The WMCDC is an offshoot of Mesa Grande Community Alliance which is made up of neighbors in far Northwest corner of Mesa Arizona.
The Mesa Grande Community Alliance was originally established to create a collaborative visions which would go beyond what one party could do in dealing with issues in West Mesa. The organization had no funding and the City of Mesa would not just hand over funds to them. They created along with Dave Richins a community development corporation which could apply for tax payer funds to promote and do projects in West Mesa. Dave Richins was the first executive director for WMCDC and was compensated nicely to the tune $85,000 during his last year as director, that was before he ran and won a seat on the Mesa City Council.
Dave Richins for the most part did a great job running the CDC and when he left, it was in good shape. It was renting space from Banner Hospital for a $1.00 and then re-renting space it didn't need to others and covering it's operating cost. However the new executive director, the board of the CDC brought in, Jo Ellen McNamara, ran the organization into the ground. She didn't file timely reports, ran off the tenants, and almost cost the organization funding, besides turning off residents. The board of directors realized what was going on but did nothing to fix the problems.

It's OK To Be Racist In West Mesa Now!
Mesa Junior High is closing at the end of the school years and it seems the only ones who care are West Mesa residents. Not because their students go their, but because of what it will do to test scores and the quality of education.
Didn't this group of people just out Russell Pearce because he was to harsh on illegal immigration and the Hispanic people?
Some of Russell Pearce's biggest critics the Montague family and the Wright family are now the ones saying wait a minute, we don't want to dump these students into Kino Junior High and Carson Junior High, they will bring down the test scores and the neighborhoods
Here is a portion of an email from a Montague family member sent the neighbors and school board members.
This very racist, especially from people who just weeks ago called for a kinder, gentler approach to dealing with the Hispanic people when they voted Jerry Lewis to be their new Senator
I guess it's OK to be racist in West Mesa NOW!

Here is a portion of an email from a Montague family member sent the neighbors and school board members.
Parents/Neighbors,On Tuesday night December 6th, Stephanie Wright had this to say:
As many of you are aware, Mesa Public Schools is currently in the process of making changes to the boundaries to all of the junior highs that boarder Mesa and Brimhall due to their closure at the end of the school year. (To see the current proposal click here.) According to the numbers that are being provided, the AIMS scores for Kino will drop by roughly 4%. (Click here to see attendance numbers and AIMS percentages.) Like many of you, my wife and I chose to purchase our home where we did based on the neighborhood and the schools to which my kids will be attending now and in the future. This is because the neighborhood school is a direct reflection on the neighborhood itself.......
If a school is performing and doing well, the neighborhood is vibrant. It has a detrimental effect if you take the strength of one school and start piecemealing it out.Ms. Wright also suggested that the district look at other option which wouldn't hurt the other West Mesa students.
This very racist, especially from people who just weeks ago called for a kinder, gentler approach to dealing with the Hispanic people when they voted Jerry Lewis to be their new Senator
I guess it's OK to be racist in West Mesa NOW!

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.
