It's Official! CD-7 Has A Candidate!

April 27, 2010    www.ruth4az.com

Ruth McClung, Republican Congressional candidate, is officially on the ballot Ruth McClung, Republican Congressional candidate in Arizona's 7th district, filed her petitions on Monday, April 26.  Ruth's signature count was 1358 which gives her more than 3 times the number needed to be placed on the primary ballot on August 24, 2010. There are still some signatures out so she will do an addendum  to her filing, later on in May.  Ruth has been officially running since June, 2009.  After collecting signatures since July, 2009 it was a good feeling to have that important step of the campaign finished. I am so grateful to a number of you for collecting signatures for me! I could not have gotten this many without your help!  Guess who is taking the picture?  It was a bipartisan act! Ruth

Time To Act!

A lot of people have been complaining lately about how the GOP has lost it's way. I hear ya'. I used to be one of those people.

But then I realized something - I can sit on the outside and throw stones...

OR

I can get involved and make a difference, a REAL, ACTIVE, PARTICIPATORY difference. Read the linked article below, it's far better than anything I could write!

Darn Rupblicans...Being All Transparent and Stuff...

In a story posted at the Tucson Weekly, Supervisor Ray Carroll becomes the focus of the left as, once again, the Republican does "transparency in government" better than the left.

Supervisor Carroll has been asking for months for more detail into the budget situation of Pima County in order to get a handle on the 1.2 BILLION dollar debt the county currently owns. Those requests have essentially fallen on deaf ears. In addition, the 3 Democrat Supervisors refuse to seed the 6th person necessary for the citizen's budget revue committee to hold a quorum and begin looking into the county's financial paperwork.

What was Huckleberry's response? "It's not how much the debt is. It's how you manage it." In other words...as long as we bounce it around and pass it off to the next administration, we don't need to worry about it now. Apparently 'Transparency' is only acceptable when viewed through a frosted glass of Huckleberry whine.

How dare we try to be fiscally sound.

Supervisor Carroll needs our support, before any further "creative accounting" destroys Pima County.
