Squeaky Wheels or Rolling Thunder
Vassar Bushmills over at Redstate has written another scorchingly brilliant post. This time it is an admonition to “keep your shoulders squared and move forward with determination” for the Governor and people of Arizona.
I held my breath the other day as the time came close for Governor Jan Brewer’s decision to sign or not sign the new Arizona immigration bill. So many times this year we’ve come SO CLOSE to something really amazing happening. Yes we did have the Scott Brown victory, and then Virginia and New Jersey. But when it came down to legislation, we’ve not been so fortunate. Obama keeps signing exec orders, and congress keeps passing disastrous and dangerous bills. And the states, while making some noise have really not yet passed anything of consequence, anything that has made an immediate difference. So while things looked cautiously optimistic in AZ, I didn’t want to get my hopes up. and then … YAY!
So now, two things. One … will the folks in Arizona, and even the nation at large IGNORE the “yapping dogs” as Vassar has written about. And two … will there be the same courage in other states, and particularly here in our state, to write and pass similar legislation.
We are the rolling thunder, and our legislators and governor should begin hearing us roar NOW.
