Why is Mike Bendas running for Congress?

Because I have served this great nation for 30 years and I see incompetence, a shortage of leadership, a lack of vision and total fiscal irresponsibility. My West Point foundation makes service a true priority, and it is time to make a difference.

It is time to serve again!

Arizona's Law

The response across the political spectrum to Arizona’s recently passed immigration law defies logic. From the Mexican President, to California’s reaction to the press coverage, to the Obama administration’s attacks, Arizona has withstood an assault on their state sovereignty that is illogical, biased and demonstrates a lack of understanding of the issues.

The Arizona border is regularly penetrated by a variety of illegals, from those seeking to work and/or settle in America to drug smugglers to, in all probability, terrorists. We have national laws against illegal immigration which the federal government refuses to enforce. Whether you agree or disagree with the laws, they are the law of the land and should either be changed or enforced.
