This is the most “suck up” blather I have read in recent
times. No one could be this ignorant re: Beebe and his enablers and their
activities; therefore I must conclude you and your organization are big time beneficiaries
of Arkansas state government.

 

This administration is the most powerful, politically
corrupt organization in the history of our state, i.e. examine the players and
the control they exercise on Arkansas government—Walton’s, Tyson’s, Stephen’s,
Ark. Contractors, all forms of government schools, i.e. the Arkansas Friendship
Coalition.

 

I won’t provide extensive evidence, simply because I
believe it would be to no avail. 

 

Your statement regarding a legislator’s utterance “His
suggestion that Gov. Mike Beebe could just send his agenda to legislators’
homes and they could vote via the Internet” was followed by your remark “I took
that comment to be a salute to Gov. Beebe”. 

 

Carmie, that was no salute to Beebe, that was his perfect
description of a dictator, and mine. You have a unique sense
interpolation.  I also loved your comedic
statement describing the “legislature as having 135 fertile minds working
overtime”.  I can tell you firsthand
there are a number of buffoons in that august body.

 

Beebe refuses to address the illegal Mexican and OTM
invasion which is destroying middleclass Arkansans standard of living, job
opportunities, and the billions being spent on social services for the invaders.  Additionally, they are further diluting our
culture and heritage, and the public school system where numerous illegals
attend has been irreversibly, negatively altered. Note Carmie, before you
parrot Beebe’s cowardly stance, i.e. “it’s the Feds job” to secure our borders
and deal with illegal immigration, look up 8 USC and what it demands.  Beebe’s famous or maybe infamous statement
regarding the illegal invasion “Legal is legal, illegal is illegal, and we’ve got
to find out what’s legal”. Shades of his old buddy Nick Wilson. 

 

Beebe refuses to allow the agents of the Ark. Contractor’s
Licensing Board to identify (only identify) those companies hiring large
numbers of Hispanics and contact appropriate authorities in order to determine
in fact if they are illegal.

 

Beebe and his administration are issuing drivers licenses
to illegals and spending huge sums by the Ark. State Police, Parks &
Tourism, Game & Fish, etc. advertising in Spanish to attract more Hispanics
(meaning more & bigger government in addition to cheap slave labor for
Tyson’s, Walton’s, etc.).

 

You note Beebe and Harriman are “masters”, you are so
right.  Their backroom wheeling and
dealing is breathtaking and the fear/intimidation they hold over the
legislators is indeed corruption at its height. Harriman, former lobbyist for
the Poultry Federation, and Beebe are nothing more than servants for Corporate
Arkansas.  What are the sources and total
remuneration for Lawyer Harriman?

 

Are you aware that the new tobacco money Beebe rammed
through goes directly to the Black Hole of General Revenue? He further, as a
payoff, gave each state senator $857,000 to spend as they wish and $25,000 to
each state rep.  Carmie, that’s what’s
known as “buying votes”.  $30 million
hard-earned taxpayer dollars to each house equals $60 million in real math. Why
will most legislators not reveal how they spent “their share” of the $60
million?  What do they fear? Some got
millions—how did that occur?

 

As middleclass Arkansans struggle mightily economically, being
laid off, businesses closing, more illegal laborers coming to our state, Beebe
and his shills authorized between Dec. 12, 2008 and Jan. 22, 2009 the creation
of 2,044 new Arkansas state jobs.  Is
that growing votes on the backs of the producers?  Another example of criminal corruption and
protection rackets in government.

 

Carmie, are you aware that Arkansas is now the number 1
recipient of illegal aliens? The illegal invasion, in government circles, is
always talked about in terms of economics (cheap labor)—it is a rule of law
issue.

 

The House appropriated $1,033,258,630 all to be spent on
Arkansas government entities, all to be borne on the backs of private
enterprise and producers, of which I am one, and not one penny for legal gainfully
employed Arkansans.

 

I will not bore you with any more of Beebe’s corruption
and his minions in the state legislature, only to say your article was a slap
in the face of every non-governmental taxpaying citizen in Arkansas. For
documentation go to arkansasfreedom.net
