Mike Broomhead of KFYI radio in Arizona has obtained a copy of the letter that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer presented to President Obama during their now infamous meeting on Thursday. In the letter, Governor Brewer offers to share with the President what has worked in Arizona to help turn the state around financially and put them in the top 10 in job creation in the nation. Remember now, the President has said that he is willing to listen to ideas coming from the right and the left. He now has an opportunity to hear from a Governor who is actually doing something positive in her state. I’m betting he doesn’t even take the time to listen to what is working for Arizona much less try any of it.

See the letter and read the text below.

Dear Mr. President,

Welcome to Arizona!

You’ve arrived in a state at the forefront of America’s recovery – and her future. We were at the brink. We were at the bottom of the list in job creation. Today, we have a balanced budget and we’re in the top 10 for job creation.

I’m proud of that hard-won recovery – the result of many tough decisions, courage and perseverance.

My hope is while you are here you will have a chance to see our tremendous results first hand.

We both love the great country, but we fundamentally disagree on how to best make America grow and prosper once again. I’d love an opportunity to share with you how we’ve been able to turn Arizona around with hard choices that turned out to be the right ones.

And, of course, my offer to visit the border – and buy lunch – still stands!

With respect,

Jan
