			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, Raul Grijalva does lead the Progressive Caucus in the House of Representatives (is that who you really want representing you District 7?).  Last night on <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30031533/">The Ed Show</a> on MSNBC, Raul Grijalva called for a nationwide boycott of Arizona because the Governor is about ready to sign <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/04/21/arizona-voters-support-controversial-immigration-poll-finds/?test=latestnews">Arizona Senate Bill 1070</a>.  Unemployment is 9.6% in the state right now.  Tourism brings BILLIONS of dollars into the state.  Is he serious?  Apparently so.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, State Senator <a href="http://www.vote4frank.com">Frank Antenori</a> appeared on MSNBC this morning and explained what is actually in the bill.  </p>
<p>I say boycott Grijalva and support <a href="http://www.ruth4az.com">Ruth McClung</a> for Congress.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gabrielle Giffords finally held a Town Hall on Obamacare Tuesday night at Sahuaro High School.  There were about 1200 people inside the auditorium and reportedly another 1,000 in an overflow area that was fed a closed circuit feed of the proceedings.</p>
<p>I got in the main auditorium and did the best I could zooming around with my camera.  More importantly, ordinary (I like that) Southern Arizonans got a chance to tell their Congresswoman what they thought of Obamacare.  And they did!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my take:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More and more <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10232667-2.html?part=rss&amp;subj=news&amp;tag=2547-1_3-0-20">politicians</a> are discovering the power of Twitter:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/BarackObama">Barack Obama</a></strong> If it weren&#8217;t for this President, most politicians probably wouldn&#8217;t be on Twitter. He made the service appealing to politicians by showing them that it&#8217;s a great way to establish a grassroots campaign. Currently, he has staffers tweeting for him, mostly discussing his policies in office.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/AKGovSarahPalin">Sarah Palin</a></strong> Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin joined Twitter last week. So far, she has updated her stream with tweets about what&#8217;s she doing with the family, issues facing Alaskans</p>
<p>And many more.</p>
<p>Should you, your small business or church be on Twitter?  Maybe (if you aren&#8217;t already), but it&#8217;s not for everyone.  Give us a call for some free advice!</p>
