But if 41 Is a Majority…

John McCainJohn McCain has slipped to 40% in a new Rocky Mountain Poll.

Ouch.

I guess we know why this man isn’t smiling.

So, how long before the low approval rating of a Republican icon like McCain in a nominally Republican state is spun to be an indication of the coming Republican resurgence?

    The rocky mountain news isn’t exactly what I call reliable. I remember when the polled kyl v pederson in the summer of 06 and had the race at 40-35 indicating kyl vulnerable.

    So believe what you want but I don’t trust these guys at all.

    Dear Congressman Grijalva,

    I am writing to you in regard to Wenceslao Loustaunau. He is buried at the Yuma Territorial Prison cemetery, Yuma, Arizona.
    The historian Donald T. Garate has referred to Wenceslao as an “American Hero” and written that he “focused the attention of the entire nation on a disparity that virtually no one before him had ever done, and especially nobody of Mexican descent who spoke broken English.” Garate further states, “He and a tiny group of cohorts stood up to an oppressive mega-corporation with economic and political connections to seemingly every powerful business and individual in the country, including the President of the United States.” Wenceslao led “3,000 men in what would be the first “non-white protest against unfair and prejudicial labor practices and the biggest and most significant labor strike in the Arizona Territory prior to World War I.”
    “Just three years after the Clifton-Morenci strike, miners in Cananea and Nacozari, Sonora, following the example of Loustaunau and his companions, staged a strike against the mine owners there for the same reasons.” This labor strike was “brutally crushed” but “their actions sparked the Mexican Revolution…”.
    Wenceslao (Three Fingered Jack) Loustaunau, prisoner #2029, paid dearly for his labor activities; he was received on 10/25/1903 and discharged on 8/20/1906, death attributed to heat prostration.
    Wenceslao Loustaunau has been dead for more than a century. Clearly a “Man Before His Time” and indeed an American Hero! Wenceslao’s legacy to Arizona labor history has been documented by Donald T. Garate, Chief of Interpretation/Historian at Tumacacori National Historical Park, Arizona. Wenceslao was the classic scapegoat and received No Justice in a country obsessed with race/ethnicity and class.
    What I am asking of you Congressman Grijalva is your support that I be granted permission to place a commemorative plaque at the site of the Yuma Territorial Prison cemetery: to educate the public about Wenceslao Loustaunau’s legacy, to dispel the myth that he was merely #2029, a common criminal, and to acknowledge excellence in historical research. It is time to praise his legacy.

    Viva Wenceslao! Viva! Gora Gora! (Rise Up!)

    Sincerely,

    Quico Antonio
