"I won't vote for him," said Veronica Silvas, 44, a respiratory therapist in Tucson and a Democrat who had long supported him. "Why would you want to boycott your own state?"
Dave Paden, a contractor in Tucson, sees the congressman as part of the problem in Washington, though he couldn't identify precisely what Grijalva had done to frustrate him. "It seemed like in the beginning he was doing the right things, but like a lot of politicians eventually he got kind of stagnant."

Grijalva could care less about Arizona and America. Mexico, La Raza, Al Qaeda and the Taliban are his primary concerns. It’s time to throw this anti-American, little piggy out. He’s doing the job America’s enemies don’t want to do.
A number of Democrats in this district are refusing to support Raul Grijalva. If the Republican candidate (Ruth McClung) wins, it’ll only be because Grijalva supported a boycott of his home state, as well as supporting the Obama Adminstration’s lawsuit against it, for daring to take a stand for border security, not because the local voters are trendign Republican.
Any elected leader who called for a boycott of his own state deserves to be kicked to the curb. I hope this jackass loses and loses big.

From the Ruth McClung campaign (Congressional Dist. 7):
For Immediate Release
Friday, October 22nd, 2010.
Tucson, AZ — Rep. Raul Grijalva has been complaining lately about all the “outside” money pouring into Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. Yet today the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced yet another ad buy against his opponent, Ruth McClung. Even Mr. Grijalva’s own money is mostly coming from outside of Arizona.
As first published by Politico, Mr. Grijalva recently reported raising $75,500 in a matter of days-with barely 20 percent of that money ($15,400) coming from sources in Arizona.
“It’s not surprising that Mr. Grijalva is having trouble raising money here in Arizona,” said McClung. “Maybe if he hadn’t boycotted his own state, people would still have money to give him.”
Mr. Grijalva’s recent fundraising does raise some eyebrows. Since he’s been so vocal in his objections to campaign contributions from outside of Arizona: when is he planning to return all that cash?

For Immediate Release
Saturday, October 23rd, 2010.
This week, reports of widespread voter fraud began to surface in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, home to Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Raul Grijalva and his political machine. Extremist SEIU activists—hiding under the auspices of a recently created Arizona PAC—have been canvassing the district, attempting to put thousands of ineligible voters on the roles before election day.
Now there’s confirmation from the Assistant Leader of the Democratic Caucus in the Arizona House of Representatives. On a KPNX-12 TV roundtable, Krysten Sinema (D-LD 15) says, “I do think he (Grijalva) will be able to pull it out though with his, you know, ‘notorious’ political machine.
Even a district with a 2-1 Democratic voter advantage isn’t enough for these shady activists. Raul Grijalva’s extremist policies, his disregard for the voters in district 7, and his call for a boycott of Arizona have made his re-election bid unexpectedly challenging. These activists will stop at nothing to keep their meal ticket safely doodling away taxpayer dollars in the halls of congress.
Now we know what stop at nothing really means. Welcome to the big leagues, Arizona, Grijalva’s minions are trying to throw you a spitball.
