Arizona's
Redistricting Commission Should Regard the Tea Party as Disruptive Loons
More than anything, the Tea Party movement in Arizona reminds me of the
assorted wackjobs who believed that the 9/11 attacks on America were an
"inside job" by the administration of President George W. Bush, a moronic contention now
thoroughly debunked and discredited. http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2011-07-28/news/arizona-s-redistricting-commission-should-regard-the-tea-party-as-disruptive-loons/ Recently I was contacted by the founder of

Phoenix Soldiers Foundation, Chris Siedentop. The foundation has created the ultimate
retreat for a special troop and their family. For 2011 they selected a 26 year
old, Army Veteran, who lost his arm while serving in Iraq. The family will be
picked up in a limousine, and will spend 5 days in a million dollar home,
complete with private chef and massage therapist. New sponsors are coming on
every day. The Bondurant School has a donated a Shifter Kart Class, and laps
around the track in a ZR1 Corvette, piloted by a professional driver. The
soldier is an avid fisherman, and the "Hookup" has donated a private
boat and guide to take the soldier fishing. The soldiers wife and young
daughter will have a complete makeover at the Troon Salon.
The Foundation is
looking for local businesses to donate additional services, or gift cards to
IPIC Theaters, any major grocery stores, Bass Pro Shops, and the Disney Store.
