Dear Friends,
Not long ago, our state was facing the worst housing collapse in our history, the downturn had cost us more than 300,000 jobs, and our State government was bogged down by a 3-Billion dollar deficit.
Today, there are many indicators that we are headed in the right direction. Our housing market is on the mend, recovering faster in metro Phoenix than anywhere in America. Arizona ranked 5th in the nation for job growth during 2012. The Kauffman Index recently declared Arizona the country’s premier place for entrepreneurs. Our budget is now balanced, and we’ve set aside $450 Million dollars in the state’s rainy-day fund for the next time crisis strikes. Crime and violence in Arizona continue to trend downward. Arizonans have reduced crime by punishing criminals, and not by infringing on the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
Our State is getting stronger.
However, there are still many issues that cannot be ignored as we move forward.
President Obama will give the State of the Union address on February 12 before Congress. Although the president will dedicate considerable attention to the nation’s struggling economy and the federal deficit, we must not allow him to ignore significant domestic issues such as immigration in the state of Arizona. As citizens, we must demand the government’s attention.
I have worked to pass immigration legislation such as SB 1070 in response to the federal government’s failure to respond. I will not back down until President Obama and Congress do their jobs and address this issue.
Arizona and our citizens deserve a federal government that devotes its time and attention to issues that the people deem important. Please help us demand that the federal government commit to a secure border FIRST before addressing immigration reform. [donation request link removed.]
Arizona has many bright days ahead thanks to you and our state’s great leadership.
My very best,
Jan Brewer
Governor of Arizona
