Thanks Nappy

As expected, Governor Janet "Nappy" Napolitano has vetoed an attempt by Arizona's legislature the fill the vacuum caused by the federal government's refusal to defend American territory from foreign invasion.
The bill she killed would have increased funding for border enforcement and taken the commonsense measure of making illegal immigration a felony. It's urgently needed; more than half of the 1.2 million arrests made last year at the Mexican border took place in Arizona. But out of the over 100 vetoes Nappy has applied since taking office in 2003, the legislature has managed to override exactly none of them.
The solution to this urgent problem lies in the hands of voters. Nappy is up for reelection in November. Arizona voters are entreated to vote for anyone but her.
