Mesa vows to remove early, misplaced political signs as Pearce backers refuse
Pearce recall sign
A political sign targets Randy Parraz, an organizer of the signature drive to place a recall on the Nov. 8 ballot. Mesa says the signs are problematic because political signs cannot go up until 60 days before an election and many are posted illegally within 15 feet of a right-of-way. Parraz says they're slanderous.
Russell Pearce
Russell Pearce represented Mesa in the Arizona Legislature and served as president of the state Senate.

Ernie13x, thanks for showing that you and your groupies are nothing but a bunch of low character criminals. Only about half of the signs were in questionable areas, but according to you, you and your band of lawbreakers STOLE signs that you nad NO LEGAL RIGHT to remove or be in possession of. You also trampled on the rights of others who were EXERCISING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Way to go, Nazi Boy.

The city of Mesa can thank it's citizens for saving taxpayer"s money. Almost all of these desperate, pathetic signs have already been removed free of charge and way ahead of Monday's deadline. Pearce is going down as fast as his signs did. Great job, everyone![wink]

Randy Parraz, as a political activiist, you turned yourself into a public figure when you helped created a recall committee to try and oust Senator Pearce. You don't even live in District 18, yet you think you have the right to tell those of us who do who we should or should not have as a CHOSEN and LEGALLY ELECTED STATE SENATOR.
Randy, where's the financial disclosure to show just who backed your recall campaign?
Good luck trying to get anywhere with a libel suit. You're full of hot air and not much more.

Yes, who is funding the recall effort???
Isn't it strange that we have no knowledge
of that?
The recall bullypulpit needs to open up
and be transparent.

Those signs need to remain in place until the city gets a directive from
the city attorney, or the person who is ultimately responsible for
deciding this issue. Until then, it would be foolish for the Pearce
anti-recall organization to remove them.

Rich, are you not concerned as to where Parraz got the funding to run his recall drive? Senator Pearce has been totally up-front about where his campaign money is coming from. Why has Parraz been so evasive when asked about his committee's finances?
Caker, Kwaay and the rest of you Parraz mouthpieces, you'll have to do much better than what you posted to win people over to your socialist side.
Kwaay, the reason the GOP/Tea Party is in a majority in this state is because we are all tired of your Robin Hood robbing, anti business, treehugging socialist progressive, deficit increasing KRAP. In case you haven't noticed, Obama's approval numbers have now reached a lower low than Jimmy "Peanut Brain" Carter did during his one and only term in office. People have had enough of your type of krappy way of thinking. Don't worry, though. When we sweep the US Senate and take back the White House next year, we won't come knocking on your door to steal from you what your kind has been stealinng from us for so long. Unlike you and your kind, the US Constitution means something to me and my kind and we're willing to defend it.

Are there no fines/penalties involved for non-compliance with a directive from the City of Mesa? I'm pretty sure if I received such a directive and told the city to pound sand, I would not be given a second deadline. Instead, I'd be handed a ticket to appear in court. I also doubt the city would remove my illegal signs gratis.

People wonder why Pearce is being recalled? This is another great example. These type signs should not be allowed for anybody and then they won't take them down? Mesa should charge them for the cost of removal.

In Arizona our TP faction is driven by the fact that since our GOP/TEA PARTY legislators are not intelligent enough to find solutions to Arizona’s problems they use the Hispanic community as scapegoats.
A perfect example is the Pearce signs in Mesa.
They do not say vote for Pearce because he is best for Arizona,
they do not say do not vote for Jerry Lewis because he is not qualified to serve in the state senate.
The signs say blame our problems on the man with the Hispanic name.
It’s time for the voters in Mesa and our state to realize that nothing will improve in our state as long as the leadership is people that do not have intelligence to find solutions instead of scapegoats.

For starters, arizonaboy, learn how to spell. Are you trying to say Mesa is trying to "loosen" the sanctuary city reputation or "lose"? And "you're" not helping. I find it very interesting that most of the people who write posts in support of Pearce can't spell or use grammar properly. Also, you failed to mention one thing about the preceding article, which is what comments are actually suppose to do. I'm guessing you are one of those people who love to scream "follow the rule of law", but your screams are being overpowered by all the "lawbreaking" being done by Pearce and his supporters.

Go to San Francisco Parraz, you'll fit in there, along with Mesa's former Police Chief.
Mesa is trying to loose the sanctuary city rep, your not helping...

Actually, the signs are printed, once again the Constitution winds up replacing TP in the restrooms of Mesa. "The Rule of Law" LOL, in fact rolflmao. If you don't know that means, pass the AIMS test and say you speak English.
