Jesse Kelly wins Oro Valley Debate
Tucson Tea Party Hosts Hundreds
Hundreds of people gathered outside of Gabrielle Giffords’ office Tuesday afternoon/evening to show their displeasure for her vote for Pelosi/Obama care. Here’s my take on how it went:

Giffords’ Video Flashback: She’ll Fight for Tort Reform
Remember the town hall that Gabrielle Giffords hosted in Tucson on September 10, 2009? When answering the first question, Giffords said she would “fight for tort reform” and that a bill without it would be a “mistake.” Here’s a reminder:
The 1,990 page H.R. 3962 “Affordable Health Care for America Act” as the Democrats are calling it, is coming up for a vote probably by Saturday, November 7, 2009. Make no mistake, it would be a government take over of health care in this country. There is federal funding of abortions in this bill. It would eventually lead to rationing of health care and the Congressional Budget Office says the bill will give the American taxpayer a bill of over a TRILLION dollars.
The alternative solution? It would make so much more sense to allow insurance companies to compete across state lines. Initiate Medical savings accounts and allow people to pay for care. Return insurance to it’s proper place… for catastrophic care. By returning competition to health care, you will drive down the cost and improve care even more! Cost? WAY less than a TRILLION dollars. We would probably save $$.

Jesse Kelly on Mark Levin
Kelly for Congress!
Jesse Kelly continues to get national coverage in his campaign against Gabrielle Giffords. He was on the Mark Levin show for a short and sweet interview about Southern Arizona politics, focusing on how Gabrielle Giffords pretends to be a “Blue Dog” Democrat when in reality, she voted for the so-called stimulus and Cap & Trade, and supports a public option in Obamacare.
I was able to record Mark Levin’s interview of Jesse Kelly and I share it with you now:

Tucson Town Hall Fun & Game Show
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.
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!

Signs of the Times
There’s “Astroturf” and then there’s American ingenuity and creativity. Here’s a look at the Tucson Tea Party event held in front of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ office at 4-7 p.m. compared to the Breakfast & Rally for Health Care Reform event held at the same place at 8 a.m.

Kelly Wins Debate by Forfeit!
Jesse Kelly challenged Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords to a debate on health care. The challenge was made months ago and the event was held last night. Did she show? Of course not, but Jesse Kelly got some good coverage from KGUN9 “On Your Side.”
After watching Kelly in action last week at the Town Hall in Green Valley/Sahaurita I can see why Congresswoman Giffords didn’t want to show up. Jesse Kelly knows what he is talking about and knows how to articulate it. By Giffords skipping the event she continues to dodge her adoring public. She skipped an opportunity to face the people she serves who would have been able to confront her over her votes, and ask her where she stands on the proposed health care bill.
So. Was last night’s debate a “political stunt?” I’m not sure it matters. By making the bold move to call out the Congresswoman, Kelly wins. If Giffords had shown up then District 8 voters would have a chance to hear both sides of the debate and make their thoughts and feelings known. Giffords didn’t show up, but she was forced to respond via statement and dismiss the event as a “political stunt.” Kelly wins the debate by forfeit and his campaign has Giffords on the defensive. Nice.
Gabrielle Giffords, um no, Jesse Kelly Town Hall
There was a town hall meeting yesterday in Green Valley/Sahuarita at the American Legion. Originally, Gabrielle Giffords was scheduled to attend, but canceled. So, Jesse Kelly showed up instead to answer questions about health care.
I was surprised none of the Tucson TV stations were there. Here’s what the Green Valley News & Sun reported before the town hall:
Jesse Kelly, who is vying for the GOP nod to run against Giffords next year in Arizona’s 8th District, said Giffords is fleeing from her responsibilities as an elected official.
“If our representative will not come out and hear people’s thoughts on these issues, if she will not come out and face the voters who elected her, I will,” he said.
Giffords had planned to address veterans issues Thursday at the American Legion Post but combined that and another appearance at Pima Community College into one meeting that will be held Thursday at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. Giffords’ spokesman C.J. Karamargin said the decision was made in order to consolidate two separate meetings covering military issues.
But Kelly said he thinks Giffords is trying to avoid potentially contentious and vitriolic exchanges with voters about health care that have characterized town hall meetings across the nation.
“I believe she’s scared to get shouted at by the voters,” Kelly said. “If they want to stand in front of her and shout at her, that’s their right.”

Congresswoman Giffords Moves Meeting
Have you Seen Her?
Gabrielle Giffords’ office has canceled an appearance in Green Valley/Sahuarita. She’s moving her meeting on veterans issues to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. The Green Valley News and Sun says (emphasis mine):
Giffords had planned to spend Thursday in the area, including a visit to American Legion Post #66 in Sahuarita.
Her staff on Monday said she has combined that appearance and another at Pima Community College into one at the base at 6 p.m. Thursday. Those attending must RSVP through her Tucson office at 881-3588 to get base access.
Giffords will still attend a private event Thursday at “a retirement community” in the Green Valley/Sahuarita area, though her communications director, C.J. Karamargin, would not disclose details.
Oh my. Congresswoman Giffords is going to extraordinary lengths to avoid being faced with a crowd. Instead of facing her own constituents, she has decided to hide behind the gates of a military base! Even if some opponents do manage to RSVP through Gifford’s office (I don’t know if they are screening participants in any way) this move severely limits access to the congresswoman, and eliminates the possibility of a demonstration outside.
Here’s my bottom line. I don’t want the Congresswoman to feel unsafe in any way. I DO want her to realize that her vote on Obamacare is being watched VERY closely. Speaking for myself, I got fired up when she voted for Cap & Trade. If she votes in favor of Obamacare as well, Mrs. Giffords has to know she will not remain in Congress. She represents us. Are you listening Congresswoman Giffords? I hope so.
