I love Jan Brewer to death!
You know why?
Because she has more political courage in one strand of her hair than Johm Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mike Pence, or Mitch McConnell have in their entire bodies!
She puts all the so-called men leaders in the GOP to shame!
She has guts and I sure wish we had more men like her.

A border-state governors conference may be the latest casualty of the Arizona immigration law.
The conference is supposed to be an annual coming-together for governors of states on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer was set to host the September conference this year in Phoenix -- but after all six Mexican border governors threatened to boycott it over the state's immigration law, Brewer announced she was canceling the whole thing.
"I find no appropriate alternative to cancellation," she said in a letter to the governors at the end of June.
"Naturally I am disappointed by your decision, as I sincerely believe the gathering of the governors in Arizona would have presented a great platform to initiate dialogue about the legislation and other topics of great importance to the border region."
That doesn't mean the conference is kaput. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is still trying to revive the meeting, offering to find a new host city.
"Gov. Brewer doesn't have the authority to cancel the Border Governors Conference," said Gilbert Gallegos, a spokesperson for Richardson. "She may not want to host it for political reasons, but that's not a reason to sidestep the tough issues that border governors must address, including migration and border violence.Gov. Richardson will look for alternative sites to host the conference, with or without Arizona's participation."
But Brewer has posted her cancellation notice on the front page of the website for the 2010 Border Governors Conference. In it, she said the Arizona legislation has been "misunderstood and misinterpreted," and continued to stress the "importance" of the Arizona-Mexico relationship. She invited the Mexico officials to meet with her administration in Arizona to discuss the law and "the myths that have been created about what the law requires or allows."
