GOV. BREWER ENDORSES NORTONDenver Daily News staff reportMonday, July 26, 2010 | |
GOV. BREWER ENDORSES NORTON: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer over the weekend endorsed Jane Norton for the U.S. Senate. “It’s my pleasure to endorse Jane Norton. Jane is a conservative, a fighter, and a leader in the push to secure our borders,” said Brewer, who supports a controversial immigration law in her state that requires local police to verify the immigration status of people when a “reasonable suspicion” exists that they may be an undocumented immigrant. “Jane will fight Barack Obama’s heavy-handed and unconstitutional attempt to block Arizona’s landmark immigration law.”

The charge alleges that Alderete was armed with a gun as an officer approached and did not comply with an order to drop the gun.

TEACHER WHO TACKLED CAMPUS SHOOTER TO BE HONORED NATIONALLY: Jefferson County math teacher David Benke, who courageously tackled a school shooter at Deer Creek Middle School last February, will be honored on a national level at the National School Safety Conference being held in Orlando, Fla., through Friday. Deer Creek Middle School, located just blocks from Columbine High School in Jefferson County, was the site of what could have been a major school campus shooting after a 32-year old male walked onto campus and opened fire on middle school students. The shooter shot and wounded two students and was looking to continue his rampage when Benke ran and tacked the armed gunman, putting an end to a tragic event.
16TH STREET STEERING COMMITTEE TO RECOMMEND MAINTAINING MALL’S ORIGINAL LAYOUT: The 16th Street Plan Committee is set to announce that it will recommend that the 16th Street Mall maintain its original geometry, but will include enhancements to its furnishings and other pedestrian amenities. This decision comes after more than two years of assessing the infrastructure and technical components, consultant recommendations, public meetings and surveys of the general public. The committee will deliver a formal letter to the Denver’s Manager of Public Works Aug. 11. The letter will detail the reason behind the recommendation and specific components involved in the upgrade, including how to create a “sense of entry” to the Mall by enhancing cross-street intersections and reconfiguring Mall furnishings. The recommendation will also address ways to make the Mall more universally accessible for people of all ages and abilities, which includes making the Mall compliant with ADA guidelines as well as adding features that will make the Mall easier for everyone to use and enjoy. The steering committee was charged with figuring out how the pedestrian mall should operate for decades to come.
NEW LAW EXTENDS UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS: President Obama has signed legislation extending unemployment insurance to 2.5 million Americans Ń including an estimated 36,400 people in Colorado Ń who are looking for a job but have not been able to find work before their benefits were exhausted.

| Brittanicus @ 2010-07-26 15:02:36 | The majority of the American people are probing with this simple question? If the enactment of SB 1070, Arizona's policing law, is a non-negotiable interference of Federal law relating to states right to protect itself. 1. Does this law causes "irreparable harm? 2. Does it circumvent federal law? These are the arguments of the Department of Justice having filed this complaint in federal court. As I perceive it, the only person who comes under suspicion, are people who are avoiding coming into contact with a police officer. If you happened to get pulled over, they are first going to run the cars plates. Then cross referencing with your driver’s license, then if everything falls into line with names and addresses and no bench warrant is out for your arrest--then you drive away. The state of Arizona has built SB1070 on the foundations of federal law, so what’s the big issue here? The material issue has absolutely nothing to do with the "Rule of Law?" and everything to do with politics.
Same as the federal government conveniently overlooking Sanctuary States and cities, because California cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, Denver, Colorado, New York City are all in contravention to the 1986 immigration act. Sanctuary cities policies were first adopted in the Liberal metropolis of in 1979 Los Angeles, to prevent police from inquiring about the immigration status of arrestees. "Special order 40," states: "Officers shall not initiate police action with the objective of discovering the alien status of a person. Officers shall neither arrest nor book persons for violation of title 8, section 1325 of the United States Immigration code (Illegal Entry)." Equally to blame and even promote the law are numerous Governors, Mayors and an assortment of Police Chiefs and city managers.
Some of the other main American cities are Chicago; Santa Ana; San Diego; Salt Lake City; Dallas; Houston; Austin; Detroit; Jersey City; Minneapolis; Miami; Portland; Maine; Baltimore; Seattle; Portland; New Haven; and Washington, D.C. These cities have adopted "sanctuary" ordinances banning municipal employees and law enforcement from inquiring people about their immigration status. In the foul shadow of this controversial rule has arisen, the deaths of innocent citizens at the hands of illegal aliens that the Liberal media prefers to keep silent and out of the headlines. In March 2008, Jamiel Shaw Jr, Los Angeles; In July 2008 Anthony Bologna and his two sons in San Francisco;
On July 31, 2008, 14-year-old Ivan Miranda, San Francisco; In October 2008, Phoenix, Arizona, Shane Figueroa; February 3, 2009, Denver, Colorado leaving three people dead and two injured. By no means is this the whole list, but if you dig deep on the internet you will be amazed or more likely furious of the lives taken by illegal aliens; specially drunken drivers. These deaths caused by gang members, drunken drivers and multiple border entry, habitual criminal aliens, never become public knowledge. Only the deaths of illegal aliens seem to get thorough publicity from the far left press over the years. Another statistic is thousands of incurable business owners who evade the law, knowingly hiring illegal workers and having never joined other felons in prison? An additional fact that the border fence was never, ever completed and still remains a single length fence, not—TWO--as existed in the original 2006 Secure Border Act.
Even E-Verify, a durable enforcement tool designed in President Bush's administration has been conceded by Nevada's Harry Reid, who tried to thrash it in the Senate chamber. As an outsider I comprehend nothing but different presidencies, either cutting subsidies or just plain lying about immigration enforcement. America! We have a colossal problem that has become a national hemorrhaging of our hospitals, schools and welfare benefits being consumed by illegal recipients. Yet the federal government has failed dismally in its responsibility to defend this country from enemies domestic and foreign. Your vote is important to Washington’s Senate and Congressman, so bombard them that you are adamantly against any type of Amnesty. You want them to secure the border and do it now, because Mexico’s blood bath could easily erupts here. Call the Washington switchboard at 202-224-3121.
