This past Saturday, Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) sponsored the People's Inauguration in Washington, DC.
Citizens for a Better Arizona leader Randy Parraz was one of the speakers. Thanks to Loneprotestor, you can see a video of his speech after the jump.
On inaugural weekend in Washington, D.C., Progressives from John Conyers to Jim McGovern gathered at the UDC Law School to celebrate and strategize. Among them was Randy Parraz of Arizona, the fiery organizer who orchestrated the recall of state senator Russell Pearce, who introduced ALEC's notorious SB 1070 "papers, please" law. Randy and Citizens for a Better Arizona now have their sights set on sheriff Joe Arpaio -- and Randy rocked the room.
Arizona is very fortunate to have Randy Parraz. Loved his comments. He knows what it takes.
I hope Randy and his wife, Lilia Alvarez, will run for office again very soon. We need more leaders with their passion and commitment.

I was really lucky to have Randy on my side four years ago. Here's my post on DKos just after Pearce was recalled. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/11/09/1034731/-Randy-Parraz-A-True-Progressive-Hero
I disagree with movingazforward, respectfully. He'd be a great candidate and would serve well, but he can do so much more for us in the role he's in now.
