The Story
------------------------------------------------------------

In Short
------------------------------------------------------------
Weir's response: "On day two of my campaign to have Ms. Arnold demean my life experiences, achievements and track record of getting things done based solely on my appearance (and being a GOP woman) is sexist, uncalled for and insulting to women everywhere."

** HOW TO TALK ABOUT:
AMERICA'S IMMIGRATION CHALLENGES ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
* The United States has a proud heritage of welcoming immigrants from around the world.

* The U.S. must control immigration, U.S. immigration law must put American interests first, and the rule of law must be followed.

No petition drive in the state's history has ever collected as many signatures. The Electoral College is something voters of all parties are really fired up about, and for good reason.
