But the silence from Congress is inexcusably deafening.

Governor Brewer is rightly taking a stand against Barack Obama's egregious attempt to place Arizona under the jurisdiction of dictators and despots on the United Nations Council on Human Rights for attempting to secure its border.

But the silence from Congress is inexcusably deafening.

That's why the time is now to send an unmistakable message to our elected officials in Washington. Now is the time to demand they take a stand... Either they support Governor Brewer, the people of Arizona and the overwhelming majority of Americans who support Arizona's efforts to secure its borders...

... Or, they support Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in their, as Governor Brewer recently put it, "downright offensive" inclusion of "the State of Arizona and S.B. 1070 in a report to the United Nations Council on Human Rights, whose members include such renowned human rights 'champions' as Cuba and Libya."

As columnist Michelle Malkin recently wrote on this issue: "The kowtowing commander-in-chief is in dire need of a daily reminder that his job is to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States' -- not international law or global diktats."
