Gov. Jan Brewer may see Wednesday's court ruling as a setback. But she is using it as a fundraising opportunity for her party.
Within hours of the decision, the Republican Governors Association sent out an e-mail urging recipients to send $100, $50, $25, $10 "or whatever you can" to the organization.
"The RGA is the only organization exclusively dedicated to electing governors like me who are not afraid to do what it takes to protect our citizens and make our borders safe," Brewer said in the e-mail.
"The RGA helps governors like me who are willing to tell the federal government when ‘enough is enough. Simply put, the RGA is a key partner and with me on the frontlines."
In her message, Brewer said while the ruling is disappointing, it is not the end of the case.
"We plan to appeal the court's ruling," she said. "I remain confident we will ultimately prevail."
But the governor said that donors need to send money for the larger national fight.
"We know liberals in Washington, D.C. and throughout the country will continue to do everything possible to distort what our law does and smear anyone who endorses it, which is why it is vital you support the RGA," Brewer wrote.

Good for Gov Brewer.. At least she's not using the typical liberal spin to make money to murder unborn babies.

IceCat, very well said. Gov. Brewer has no shame, let alone any qualifications to be governor of Arizona. Jlmealr, your comment is reprehensible. Keep abortion SAFE and LEGAL. It's a woman's right to choose, NOT yours.

Good grief. A "fund exclusively dedicated to electing governors like me." Vanity, gall & chutzpah wrapped into one. Yep, folks that's what your state needs, a hate and fear mongering governor like Jan Brewer to campaign on promoting unconstitutional laws in your state.
Better yet, how about if we send you Jan Brewer herself. You can have her for free.

So, our Aryan Goddess and her white robbed followers, like some of you here, is using 1070 to raise money. Imagine that.
Of course the real money lost will be the millions of dollers in taxpayer funds to defend our state in court until 1070 is finally ruled unconstitutional.
Of course by then she and her cabal of radical white right wing-extremists will have all of us in their clutches to to with us as they please.
Like line us all up against a wall of a racist police state.
Aryan Goddess is nuts.

We must train the politicians already in Washington, that the Arizona law represents the American people’s defense, against 30 years of unequivocal failure to seal the border and deportation. That even now the fence not completed, and does not represent the original specifications of two fences stretched 1800 miles from the Pacific to Gulf of Mexico. Secretly--behind closed doors, the Democratic leadership in the 2006 Senate Omnibus Law Sen. Kay Baily Hutchinson, sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn, (R-TX) attacked a major provisions of a second independent 15 foot chain-link fence that was eliminated. With a militarize border carrying automatic weapons the Arizona's law would never have been signed by Governor Brewer? The gang slime and cesspool of criminals would never have materialized in such numbers in border cities, as double parallel fences policed by 6000 permanent federal troops and US Border patrol as Mexico does with Guatemala, would have stopped the carnage in the border region.
What Obama hopes to do with unarmed military in small numbers sitting at desk, is amazingly stupid and misguided as any hopes of stopping the potential deaths is political suicide; a serious danger to National Security. Why defend foreign nations with soldiers and money, when our government for decades refuses to defend this country? The tea Party, Independents, rogue Democrats, Republicans and pro-sovereignty Liberals and millions of well-informed Americans see that this is a way to appease the corrupt authorities in Mexico. Every US patriotic citizen and legal resident must demand from their confused lawmakers at state and federal level in demanding E-Verify permanently. This will gradually remove illegal aliens by auditing workplaces (old and new workers--temporarily or permanent jobs) and bring to justice employers who are flouting the law and put them in prison. WE AS THE VOTERS OF AMERICA CAN DO THIS, RIDDING OURSELVES OF SENATORS LIKE REID, McCAIN, PELOSI, SCHUMER, GRAHAM, FEINSTEIN PUSHING FOR AMNESTY AND THE DREAM ACT. WHAT WE SHOULD DEMAND FROM THE LEGISLATORS IS IMMEDIATE REVITALIZATION OF THE “SAVE ACT & CLEAR ACT.” ALL INCUMBENTS NEED TO JOIN THE JOBLESS. FIND FACTS AT NUMBERSUSA & GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION AT JUDICIAL WATCH. Bombard the Washington switchboard at 202-224-3121

Brittanicus, your post doesn't address anything contained in this article. Save your propaganda for one of your white-supremacist, tea party or radical Republican websites. Or is that where it originally came from?
