Pearce plans door-to-door campaign in Mesa - East Valley Tribune: Arizona

Pearce plans door-to-door campaign in Mesa - East Valley Tribune: Arizona: "At a Mountain View tea party event of more than 100 predominantly Pearce supporters, the embattled senator announced his campaign would start going door-to-door and canvass neighborhoods in an attempt to keep him in office.

"We'll go to work," Pearce said. "I'm 16-0 (in elections). People know me. I was born and raised in Mesa. It's going to be a battle. I worry about it, but I'll campaign on my record."
Pearce's record includes a litany of get-tough-on-immigration bills, including controversial SB 1070 which makes it a crime to be an undocumented illegal immigrant in Arizona. Major parts of the bill are still tied up in legal challenges by the U.S. Justice Department. He also stressed the need to further limit the federal government from meddling in Arizona's affairs and to protect citizens' constitutional rights while refusing to apologize for "wanting to strengthen the border."
"Enough is enough," Pearce said. The law is the law, and you have to enforce it.""
