Eve Nunez and Jose “Joe” Penalosa – True Hispanic Heroes in the State of Arizona

Eve Nunez and Jose Penalosa at Somos Republicans Private Party

Thank goodness the Arizona primary elections are over as the  anxiety and angst finally comes to a close.  Several Latino political friends of mine have worked their fingers to the bone and I know they have worked at least 16 hour days to accomplish things in which they believed in.  One friend, Marcos Viveros, kept reminding me that we have justice on our side.  I believe him and know deep down it is the truth.

Upon reflection and in working with Arizona political Hispanic Republican candidates such as Eve Nunez and Jose Penalosa, I have discovered that I have the utmost respect for these two fine individuals.  It’s hard for me to call a person a hero, but let me tell you that these two people ARE heroes.   The hatred and evil in which Arizona Hispanics have seen due to Pearce’s and Brewer’s SB 1070 law will be an era I will never forget, but Hispanic Republican heroes such as  Eve Nunez and Jose Penalosa stood their ground while being embroiled within this Arizona immigration battle.  They stood their ground because other things mattered to them such as pro life, capitalism, less taxes and strong national defense.   Eve and Jose are not one issue Republicans and they became Republicans because they believe in the “soul of the Republican” party.  They know that our soul comes from an American great and founder of the Republican party — Abraham Lincoln.

I was looking forward to the GOP primary election results, and despite what several might say and in the midst of this leviathan named SB 1070, Jose and Eve, still took a good chunk of voters who voted for them.    Remind yourselves that Jan Brewer and Pearce did a damn good job of painting this horrific law as one that mirrored the Federal immigration law when in fact it violates the United States Constitution.

Did Eve Nunez and Jose Penalosa become populists and sell outs in order to win an election?  No, they did not.  This is why they will be forever known as true leaders in the state of Arizona who remembered our community.

Thank you Eve and Jose!  For holding your ground and for your hard work.   This is just the beginning.  The darkest hours are behind us and the new dawn is just before us.  I pray that your name recognition continues to increase and multiply.  You deserve it, and you are true Arizona Hispanic heroes.

Now…..let us rest and relax for a little bit, but then prepare and  join forces and help Andrea Garcia retire Russell Pearce — the man who is proud to say that he is the author of SB 1070.  The both of you will continue to be Hispanic media darlings for Somos Republicans as you continue to message to our beloved gente that they need to get into that boxing ring with us and knock out our evil opponents who don‘t belong in the Party of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.  We have the numbers, and we all know that there is strength in numbers.

Love,
