Thanks Arizona voters for choosing McCain - and his illegal electioneering on the taxpayers' dime continues

Every day during the campaign I saw McCain Senate staffers visiting my website, only reading the articles about the McCain-JD Hayworth race. McCain has now won the primary over JD, enabling his staffers to continue their illegal opposition research on the taxpayers' dime. Thanks Arizona voters, you have voted to continue this kind of corruption. And hello again to the McCain government staffers who brazenly flaunt the law, knowing your boss is powerful and enables you to continue. If this is the kind of behavior we can see, makes you wonder what kinds of unethical things they are doing that we haven't discovered? Doesn't matter, Arizona voters would still vote for him. Your tax dollars at work, ensuring that corrupt incumbents get reelected by doing their campaign work on the taxpayers' dime.

Goldwater Institute: Crackdowns on pool parties and mural painting show governments have plenty of money to spare

by Nick Dranias

Many local governments in Arizona want us to believe they have gone to extreme lengths to tighten their budget belts. But when you hear that Tucson is using its sign laws to squelch artistic murals on the historic Rialto Theater because the murals aren’t purely for artistic purposes—they also promote shows at the theater—your realize budgets can’t be that bare. Then there are the pool cops of Maricopa County, who are aiming to shut down weekend pool parties used by Phoenix-area resorts to boost their business during this recession. Any government that can waste resources on such measures has too many idle hands on the payroll. The fact that local governments can’t recognize this shows that streamlining budgets requires more than a commitment to saving money. It requires a guiding philosophy of limited government.
In many cases, cities and counties cannot focus limited resources on core functions because they cannot identify what functions are core. Laws against genuine public nuisances have no higher standing than crack downs on wall murals and bans on resort pool parties where guests might eat or drink too close to the water. Resources are stretched because government officials are using them to perform needless and often abusive tasks.

Fortunately, local governments can look right at the Arizona Constitution for guidance on identifying core functions: “All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.”

Officials who accept this basic principle of limited government are unlikely to prosecute  businesses for such offenses as painting wall murals on their own property that also advertise their business and planning some outdoor fun to attract more customers. No function of government is a core function if it has nothing to do with protecting and maintaining individual rights.

Nick Dranias holds the Clarence J. and Katherine P. Duncan Chair for Constitutional Government and is Director of the Joseph and Dorothy Donnelly Moller Center for Constitutional Government at the Goldwater Institute.

John McCain continues to smear JD Hayworth - even after winning

Now that McCain has won the Republican Senate primary in Arizona, he should be focusing on the upcoming general election and his Democrat opponent. Instead, his campaign is continuing to smear Hayworth to his friends in the liberal media, who eagerly print every word.

Scottsdale and Tempe have become a battleground and Congressman Mitchell’s union walkers are out knocking on doors in droves. But we are fighting back and they are already running scared...

Request a Yard sign Click Here Donate to our Winning Battle Plan Click Here Our fight to win in November depends on your vital support right now! Defeating Nancy Pelosi’s far left agenda and retiring Congressman Mitchell requires your action to bring our common sense message home. Governments don’t create wealth. They cannot tax an economy into prosperity. Pelosi, Obama and Mitchell are wrong to think that they can multiply wealth by dividing it. Help me fight for more jobs and less government! Please join our team by requesting a yard sign today. Standing for principles has never been more urgent for our country’s future. Join more than 4,500 of your neighbors in their stand against this liberal onslaught and we’ll deliver a yard sign within 48 hours. Together, you and I can take back our government. We can return power to the People, where it belongs!

David Schweikert for Congress: One Dollar

Every single dollar matters in this fight to take back our country from the Pelosi Congress. This is why yesterday’s goal to raise $12,000 was reached within minutes. Our campaign to restore jobs and economic freedom will prevail this November! But we need the resources to fight and win. I am counting on your support. This fight is essential to preserve our country’s future. The far liberal left attack machine is on its knees.  That's why today it is more important than ever.  We are going to need every single resource you can bring to bear. Request a yard sign…. Join our team and be a volunteer…. Make a contribution to help the fight for freedom… This liberal Congress is way outside the mainstream. Card check, bailouts, union give-aways, government motors, higher taxes, deeper debts and deficits and even more reckless spending. It is unacceptable and it is killing jobs in our community. We have no choice but to stand up and fight. And we will win with your support. The American people understand - - even Congressman Mitchell’s own base understands. That is why he was booed from the stage late last week at his own fundraiser for refusing to answer questions. No Congressman should hide from the voters. But we have heard this Congress time and time again decide that their liberal agenda is more important than our Constitutional liberties. Help me fight this fight. Our future is at stake. Arizona deserves a warrior that will fight for the promise of freedom.

Why Goldwater's Lawsuit Against "Matching Funds" is so Important Last week the Goldwater Institute formally appealed the U.S. Supreme Court to hear our case against the matching funds portion of the Clean Elections law. Ending matching funds once and for all is important to the free speech rights of privately-funded candidates running for office. But the Goldwater Institute's Nick Dranias says allowing matching funds to be left in place would also set a dangerous precedent that could ultimately harm everyone's free speech rights.
