Protest Update

TUSD Superintendent Roger Pfeuffer

********************

Recap from last week here, here and here:

A 17 year old, illegal freshman at Catalina Magnet High School was arrested by Tucson Police Department after being found to be in possession of illegal substances (marijuana) while on school property. He also appeared to be under the influence of narcotics at the time. Upon discovering the freshman was illegal, TPD called Border Patrol. The boy, his brother and mother were subsequently deported and the father held for formal deportation proceedings. They had been in the country illegally for six years. (Who employed this man for six years? That employer needs to be investigated and sanctioned!)

After the family was deported, approximately 100 students from Catalina Magnet High School protested the presence of TPD and Border Patrol on school property, stating they did not feel safe if Border Patrol could come onto campus at any time. (They don't have to worry if they're legal--Border Patrol and ICE have no interest in those here legally; likewise the police--if the kids aren't doing anything illegal, what do they have to be afraid of?)

The student protest was followed by TUSD Superintendent Roger Pfeuffer meeting with TPD officials. TUSD then dictated TPD could no longer contact Border Patrol on school campuses or on church grounds. (Again, since when does a school district have the power to dictate who goes on church property?)

TPD officials caved and allowed TUSD dictate police policy. Keep in mind TUSD receives federal funding for each body in the schools, approximately 60,000 at this time, legal or not. The only requirement to enroll in a TUSD school is a birth certificate. Issuing country is irrelevant.

Also keep in mind that Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva :

began his political career in 1974 on TUSD's board; the legacy is being continued by his daughter, Adelita Grijalva.

Both are pretty much bought and paid for by the pro-illegal unions, Isabel Garcia leading the way (Tucson attorney):

Friday, November 9, 2007, saw a moderate sized protest by legal citizens, taxpayers of Tucson, lawfully protesting TPD caving into TUSD and petitioned TPD rescind the new policy.

TPD refused.

Are you all up to speed?

Good, because it gets better.

Tonight marked the inaugural meeting of the new city council (all Democrat, except for the Mayor--the sole Republican). The taxpayers were notified of this city council meeting. The agenda didn't want to deal with the protests or the concerns of the taxpaying, legal residents. It was more important to talk about leash laws.

However, since Friday, Pfeuffer decided that under no circumstances would TPD be called to any school campus. Let that sink in a moment. Under. No. Circumstances. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. No cops on any school campus for any reason whatsoever.

TUSD has also declared the same for Border Patrol.

Tucson citizens, the legal ones, are HOWLING pissed! We could have a Columbine incident on one of our campuses and the police would not be called.

Rather than enforce the laws, rather than listen to the people who pay their salaries through our taxes, a bunch of snot nosed brats have gotten their way. The pro-illegal movement appears to have won.

Not quite. Parents, who understand the school district gets federal funds for each student enrolled, decided today to start yanking their children out of TUSD schools. Those children are staying home until their parents find charter schools with space for them--charter schools NOT under the direction of TUSD. In the meantime, citizens are starting to take down license plates of vehicles from out of the country. Particularly on TUSD campuses, driven by students.

Now, why would we do that? Well, if a student is driving an out of country vehicle, it's obvious the car has not been emissioned, taxed and paid for in Arizona. Those are Arizona tax dollars not being gathered. If TUSD won't allow the police to be called BY THE SCHOOLS (because TPD would then call Border Patrol), there is NOTHING stopping the citizens from calling Border Patrol and ICE. It's only the police whose hands have been tied, not the citizens.

We've even found out TPD has been ordered NOT to stop out of country cars for traffic violations. It leads to "profiling" accusations.

But it doesn't stop the citizens. In doing a quick cruise through my children's charter school parking lot this morning, I counted 3 out of country license plates--in the student parking lot. This school is not under the direction of TUSD. I'm not a police officer. I'm not a Border Patrol or ICE agent. I AM a taxpaying citizen.

And I do have ICE, Border Patrol and TPD on my cell phone speed dial (don't worry, I use a hands-free device--drive safely!). I also have a pad and pen in my car to jot down license plate numbers and vehicle descriptions. It appears the Tucson sector is about to get very busy indeed.

I am a taxpaying, legal citizen. And I've had enough.

I've had enough of subsidizing the illegals in my community through the legal system after their wrecks and dui's and assaults. I've had enough of my taxes paying for their education and medical care. I've had enough of the hospital emergency room overcrowding because of the abuse of the medical system here. I've had enough of the accomodations given to the illegals (did you catch the kid's age and grade? 17 and a FRESHMAN?). I've had enough of wondering how I'll pay for my children's college while they get grants, loans and in-state tuition.

I've had enough. Guess it's time I start demanding my officials start enforcing the laws on the books. If the police will let a bunch of snot nosed kids dictate policy, if TUSD has decided it's an island that doesn't need the police, I and many other citizens here have decided to let our fingers do the walking.

We've had enough.

Winston Churchill Quotes

A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
I always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
I like a man who grins when he fights.
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time-a tremendous whack.
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Moral of the Work. In war: resolution. In defeat: defiance. In victory: magnanimity. In peace: goodwill.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
Never, never, never give up.
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism.
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
The first quality that is needed is audacity.
The nose of the bulldog has been slanted backwards so that he can breathe without letting go.
The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.
These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.
They are decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.
When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber.
When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Ronald Reagan Quotes

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so."
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.
All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk.
Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources
Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
Double, no triple, our troubles and we'd still be better off than any other people on earth. It is time that we recognized that ours was, in truth, a noble cause.
Facts are stupid things.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
How can a president not be an actor?
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.
I will stand on, and continue to use, the figures I have used, because I believe they are correct. Now, I'm not going to deny that you don't now and then slip up on something; no one bats a thousand.
In Israel, free men and women are every day demonstrating the power of courage and faith. Back in 1948 when Israel was founded, pundits claimed the new country could never survive. Today, no one questions that. Israel is a land of stability and democracy in a region of tryanny and unrest.
Let us ask ourselves; "What kind of people do we think we are?".
Man is not free unless government is limited.
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.

The United Sates has much to offer the third world war.
There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.
To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I have just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy.
Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.
You know, if I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough, I would be convinced we're in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we've got to do something about the unemployed.
