President Pardons Arpaio, Speaker Ryan Grumbles

© August 27, 2017

President has pardoned Joe Arpaio from a Leftist Judge convicting him of contempt for not standing down to enforcing immigration law. I wasn’t surprised that the Leftist MSM and the Dems went to fits over the pardon. BUT I am extremely disappointed that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan condemned the President’s pardon.

I have been willing to give Rep. Ryan the benefit of the doubt in his part-time negativity to the Trump agenda. I have felt he had been a man that stuck to his principles before politics.

Ryan’s condemnation of the Arpaio pardon means he is placing politics over Conservative principles. NOW I am on the dump Ryan as House Speaker train.

President Donald Trump pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Friday evening, citing his record of service to his country.

“Arpaio’s life and career, which began at the age of 18 when he enlisted in the military after the outbreak of the Korean War, exemplifies selfless public service,” read a statement from the White House.

The Arizona sheriff, now 85-years-old, is considered a hero among supporters of immigration enforcement. Arpaio served in the Army before becoming a police officer in Washington DC and Las Vegas and a special agent in the DEA. He became the Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona in 1992.

“After more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon,” the statement concluded.

Arpaio was convicted in July 2017 for violating a federal judge’s order to not detain suspected illegal immigrants. He faced up to six months in jail for the conviction and possible fines.

Arpaio endorsed Donald Trump for president in January 2016, as he was campaigning against primary challengers in Iowa.

“I have fought on the front lines to prevent illegal immigration,” Arpaio said when he endorsed Trump. “I know Donald Trump will stand with me and countless Americans to secure our border.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan is breaking with President Trump over the latter's decision to pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Friday.

"The speaker does not agree with the decision," said spokesman Doug Andres. "Law-enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon."

Ryan becomes the highest-ranking GOP lawmaker to break with Trump over the decision to pardon Arpaio, who was convicted of contempt of court for refusing to stop detaining Latinos on suspicion of being illegal immigrants.

The decision was announced Friday and has been roundly criticized by Democrats and some Republicans, including both Arizona senators.

Arpaio was a political surrogate for Trump on the campaign trail and it was widely believed Trump would announce his pardon during a rally in Phoenix Tuesday night.

While Trump demurred at the idea of announcing the pardon then — he said he didn't want to create controversy — the decision was eventually announced as Hurricane Harvey bore down on the southeastern Texas coast Friday night.

It's Trump's first pardon and it's one of the earliest first pardons for a president in modern administrations.

Presidential Liar and Abuse of Power

BHO - Excuse me not done lying yet
John R. Houk
© November 22, 2013

Prior to President Barack Hussein Obama’s election in 2008 and about a couple of years afterwards I was a supporter of the Birther Movement. Birthers have been out of the news lately so if you have forgotten or are unaware what the Birthers stand for it goes something like this:

Birthers believe President Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya thus disqualifying him from eligibility for the Office of President of the United States. Further Birthers believe Obama’s Hawaii Birth Certificate is a forgery created by extreme Leftists to allow Obama to be a kind of Manchurian Candidate representing interests counter to the U.S. Constitution.

My evolution as a Birther went from stalwart believer, to believer but the power of the Office of POTUS would never allow a successful exposé, to abandoning the Birther Movement because I do believe Obama was born in Hawaii all the way to the present where there is a big “BUT” about birth issues. That big “BUT” runs something like this:

President Barack Hussein Obama was indeed born in Hawaii; however his mother married a Muslim Indonesian and immigrated with him to Indonesia along with her son “Barry”. Somewhere along this line of moving from the USA to Indonesia Obama became Barry Soetoro with his stepfather’s last name. He was registered as a Muslim in an elementary school in Indonesia. At some point he came back to the USA to live with his grandparents on his mother’s back in Hawaii. Now it is in Obama’s immigration status where his eligibility for POTUS may get sketchy.

Obama’s stepfather Lolo Soetoro registered Barry into Fransiscus Assisi School at Jakarta, Indonesia. Barry went from the Catholic school to the prestigious Besuki Public School. The Besuki School was once called Carpentier Alting Stichting Nassau School founded by the Dutch for Dutch colonialists in Indonesia. In 1962 the Dutch school was taken over by the Indonesian government. The Indonesian government transformed the renamed Besuki School in a prestigious school catering to Indonesian elites. By the time Barry transferred to Besuki his stepfather Lolo Soetoro had an influential government job, thus enabling Barry to attend. It is at the Besuki School that a guessing game emerges about our current POTUS.

A Blaze investigative journalist team led by Charles C. Johnson speculates that Barry could not have attended the Besuki School unless he was an official Indonesian citizen probably by virtue of stepfather Lolo adopting him. Of course Indonesian citizenship in and of itself would not have meant that Barry surrendered his American citizenship because he was not of the age of majority to make such a decision. So obviously the Birther issue is not an election issue for President Barack Hussein Obama.

(Stanley) Ann Dunham sent Barry and his half-sister Maya (fathered by Lolo – born in Indonesia) back to Hawaii to be educated in Hawaii. As Barry Soetoro Obama citizenship was declared as Indonesian even though it does stipulate he was born in Hawaii. Obama graduates from a private school in Hawaii called Punahou School. Obama attended Punahou School from 1971 (5th Grade) through to graduation in 1979. Relatively recently a fellow High School level student - Mia Marie Pope – claims Obama at the very least implied he was a foreign student of sketchy character that she guessed was a homosexual in man/boy relationships with old white men. BUT Obama supporters point out Ms. Pope might be trying to exploit the past by smearing Obama because there are other credible former classmates that provide a glowing picture of Obama’s character. Just like the impotence of Birther claims about Obama, Ms. Pope’s claim will do nothing to Obama’s present status as POTUS except perhaps to establish that which many Americans are already discovering (Huge scandal list); viz., that Obama lies to further his personal plans.

The thing that is sketchy is that Maya Soetoro retained her last name (until marriage) but what about Barry Soetoro? When did Barry the Indonesian become Barack Obama the Natural Born Citizen of America? Barry came to the USA/Hawaii to begin school at the 5th grade level at a prestigious private school. Obama supporters might ask, “Who cares when Soetoro became Obama when Obama was born on American soil in Hawaii?” AGAIN, this is where the Birther issue is a dead issue. The issue is: How was Obama perceived as a citizen while attending school – elementary, secondary and college – in America? Did Obama receive an education based on being a foreign subsidized student from nation of Indonesia?

I can understand Obama’s school records in Indonesia are not complete. After all in the 1960s and 1970s Indonesia was basically a Third World nation, just beginning to operate as an independent nation free of Dutch colonial rule. In America school records were not then nor now sketchy. AND YET, Obama has gone to great lengths to keep those school records from America away from the public weal. Especially in the case of college, did Obama attend Occidental and Columbia and perhaps Harvard as a foreign exchange student receiving foreign discounts academically?

AGAIN, Obama supporters should ask, “What does it matter if Barack Obama the Natural Born Citizen received foreign benefits to attend American colleges? After all Obama was still born on American soil, right?”

AND AGAIN, I stipulate Obama’s birth is NOT the issue! The issue is did Obama defraud colleges with a foreign status that might have included taxpayer money to attain his academic credentials? Fraud would be illegal, right? And if Obama committed fraud, how in the world did such a history escape the notice of law enforcement or Presidential vetting? Let’s say there was nothing illegal in the process (frankly I just don’t know), shouldn’t
American voters have been privy that Obama lied somewhere along his career line on his way to the Office of POTUS in 2008 AND AGAIN in 2012?

In the meantime Barack Obama has been using the power of the POTUS to keep an eye on his critics and detractors. Of course Obama is not fond of the Birthers. The Birthers may be wrong at pushing the – where was he born? – agenda, but the intrusive demand of Birthers to examine documents and records that will taint Obama’s reputation as an egomaniac Marxist liar (Andrew McCarthy on Obama lying) has been something Obama has prevented from the public eye (SA HERE).

One such Birther big dog is Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse. Arpaio has been a thorn in Obama’s side by examining what documents are available. He is convinced the Obama Birth Certificate is a fraudulent forgery. The actual document in and of itself may indeed by a forgery; nonetheless there is plenty of evidence from other locations that Obama was born in Hawaii. BUT STILL Obama is a proven liar and his insistence to keep his school records and early documentation in the dark is nearly unprecedented among past U.S. Presidents. So how does President Barack Hussein Obama prevent Sheriff Arpaio from stumbling upon some actual smoking gun documentation that indisputably shows the President as a fraud and liar that may indeed include some prosecutable legal infractions? Use the power of the Executive Order and his sycophant Attorney General to harass the good Sheriff to keep him busy.

In a recent fund raising email Sheriff Arpaio lists how Obama has used his powers to keep the Sheriff busy. You can read that list because I am going to post that email to simply demonstrate how Obama abuses his power and authority as President of the United States. Whether you donate to Sheriff Arpaio’s plea for funding is totally up to you.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: I'm Under Attack

Sent From the Desk of Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Fellow Patriot,
I need your help.

Let me lay it out for you.
I continue to be under attack by Barack Obama's federal government
.

Two years ago, the Obama Justice Department sued me for so-called "civil rights" violations which turned out to be purely politically motivated, based on the timing of their lawsuit. Filed just months before the election, it was a blatant attempt on their part to influence my re-election as Sheriff.

But I won with your support.

Then, just two months after I was re-elected after being targeted by the media and millions of dollars in outside special interest groups, a recall campaign was launched against me.

But I beat them with your support.

Then, in the middle of the recall effort a federal judge claimed that my office engaged in racial profiling while we were enforcing illegal immigration laws. My office was following the guidelines that were laid out to us by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Yet, I'm the one they pin the "racial profiling" label on.

That same judge has now ordered a "federal monitor" to oversee the actions of my office.
This is an egregious attempt by the federal government to take over my office and keep me from doing the job I was elected to do
.

Shortly after that judge's ruling, another federal judge ruled that we can no longer detain illegal immigrants that pay a coyote, or professional smuggler, to sneak them across our borders! You see, Arizona passed a law years ago that made human smuggling a crime. Yet, in every other instance, paying someone to break the law for you means that you too are guilty of a crime. But now, a federal judge is saying local law enforcement has no power to detain these criminals.

Do you see a pattern here? The federal government is going out of their way to tie the hands of my office and my deputies to enforce the law - and take over the office of a constitutionally elected Sheriff! This is unacceptable and it is why we are appealing these rulings. We'll go all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to. This aggression will not stand.

But you know how pervasive and aggressive the federal government can be, especially under Barack Obama's Justice Department.

Maricopa County in Arizona has been the gateway into the United States for illegal immigrants, human smuggling, drug-trafficking and illegal weapons for years now. But I'm the bad guy for trying to stop it?

That's why I need your immediate support today.
Will you stand with me by following this link and making an instant online contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more?


I am sure this is not the end of it. They'll keep coming after me until I completely surrender. That's not going to happen. I'm going to continue doing the job I was elected to do, and the job the people want me to do.

I've spent 50 years in law enforcement, including as a top official with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration around the world, and 21 years as Sheriff. I'm not about to back down to a bunch of political threats from a federal government that is simply out of control.

Between the federal government harassing me, radical activists protesting and burning me in effigy, and the numerous death threats against me and my family, it would be easy to surrender in this fight, retire from office and go away. But I won't do that.

I'm going to keep fighting for what I know is right. I took an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution and I will keep that oath until my last breath.

But I need your help. You've been such a strong supporter that I must ask for your help again.

Will you show your immediate support and stand with me by following this link and making an instant online contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more?

I have already filed the necessary paperwork to run for another term - much to the angst and consternation of my political opponents. They would just rather see me worn down and defeated but they have no idea how much more fight I have left in me.

But I cannot do it alone.

Will you please make a contribution to "Elect Sheriff Joe Arpaio" today?
Your help and support will give me the resources I need to stand and fight against these groups that wish to see me go away.

And, a new law was recently passed here in Arizona that raises the contribution limits for my campaign. Those new limits are now $5,000 per person, which covers the primary and general election cycles. I know that's a lot, so any amount you can give today, $500, $250, $100, $50 or even $35, is greatly appreciated.

Please
click here to make a contribution today. I would be forever grateful if you would continue supporting my efforts and send a signal to my political opponents that I'm not done fighting just yet!

Thank you for everything you have done. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Maricopa County, Arizona

P.S. Please don't delete this email. It's clear there is a pattern here that shows the federal government is coming after me. They don't want me to expose their hypocrisy in enforcing illegal immigration laws and it doesn't fit their political agenda. I'm up against the most powerful government in the world and I need your help today! Thank you.

P.P.S. We must get the word out about this.
Please do me one more favor after making a contribution please forward this email to at least five of your friends or family members who share our values in upholding the Rule of Law! Again, I thank you for your support.

Sheriff Joe Supporters Beat Back Left Wingnuts

Arpaio Bill Board - Don't Recall Petition
John R. Houk
© June 1, 2013

I’m probably a bit behind the curve on this; nevertheless I am pleased to announce the Leftists annoyed with Sheriff Joe Arpaio were duly defeated in their moronic efforts to get a recall election on the books in Maricopa County Arizona. The Left Wingnuts failed to turn in the 355,000 needed signatures of registered voters to force a recall vote.

The Left Wingnuts were probably organized in Arizona but their financial backing came from out of State. And so it is fair to guess that much of Arpaio’s campaign support came from outside of Arizona as well. That works for me since the Obama Administration was paramount in punishing Arpaio politically through the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security.

Did I mention the Obama Administration is wracked with scandal for using government tools to persecute individual Conservatives and Conservative organizations? I would not be surprised to discover Arpaio was part of an IRS investigation or a Justice Department investigation because of the good Sheriff’s anti-Obama political stand.

Anyway here is the WND article I read that I discovered the mixed bag of good news about Sheriff Joe.

Effort to oust Sheriff Joe fails
'After months of name calling, disparaging effigies and theatrics'

By WND
May 30, 2013

The effort to recall “America’s toughest sheriff,” Maricopa County, Arizona’s Joe Arpaio, fell short of the 355,000 voter signatures needed by yesterday afternoon.

Arpaio reacted to the outcome in a statement.

“After months of name calling, after the disparaging effigies and theatrics … this latest recall effort has failed,” the sheriff said. “This effort failed because the good people of Maricopa County, whom I’m honored to serve, rejected the wrongheaded idea of overturning an election.”

The recall campaign was launched by Respect Arizona and Citizens for a Better Arizona, which protested the sheriff’s aggressive approach to stopping illegal immigration, charging his office targets people on the basis of race, in violation of the Constitution.

Respect Arizona said it believes “our children deserve a sheriff that respects families, respects immigrants and respects Latinos.”

Randy Parraz, president of Citizens for Better Arizona, told the Los Angeles Times the two groups had nearly 300,000 signatures by the 5 p.m. deadline Thursday. He said the setback won’t slow down Arpaio’s critics, vowing “this fight is not over.”

In support of Arpaio, whose backers are as passionate as his enemies, a group called Citizens to Protect Fair Election Results was formed.

The group’s attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, said “dangerous, subversive-like activities of Respect Arizona have the potential to launch this county and possibly the entire state in what can only be called an ‘Electoral Civil War’ that could cost the citizens of Arizona millions of taxpayer dollars.”

Klayman charged the allegations against Arpaio are “not only false on their face, but, in addition, also fraudulent since Respect Arizona obviously does not represent the majority of voters of Maricopa County, Arizona, who just re-elected Sheriff Arpaio a few months ago.”

Arpaio’s opponents contend he must be dismissed because his office has failed to adequately investigate more than 400 sex crimes cases and has cost the county $25 million in legal settlements over treatment in county jails.

In addition, in a complaint brought by Latinos, a federal judge ruled last Friday that Arpaio and his deputies unconstitutionally target people because of race.

The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow came in response to a class-action lawsuit brought by Hispanic drivers. At issue was whether police can target illegal immigrants without racially profiling innocent citizens and legal residents of Hispanic origin.

The ruling charges the agency stopped cars because they had dark-skinned people in them and arrested Latinos for suspected immigration violations without proper authority.

The sheriff strongly insists there has been no racial profiling, and he plans to appeal the decision.

Last summer, the Obama Justice Department closed a criminal probe into Arpaio and his deputies that also charged racial profiling of Latinos and unlawful arrest. The investigation began in 2008.

The Justice Department also sued Arizona for its law allowing state law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration laws.

As WND reported, Arpaio has charged Obama “is waging war on Arizona over illegal immigration.”

Arpaio’s supporters have argued the sheriff won re-election fairly and that recall organizers shouldn’t be allowed to contest the election because they didn’t like the outcome.

Arpaio has said his office addressed the problems with the sex-crimes investigations and has made changes to prevent a repeat.

In January, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled regarding state Senate Bill 1070 that Arizona has the right to ask whether suspects are in the U.S. legally but cannot punish anyone for it.

In response to the ruling, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s suspended “the 287(g) program,” which allowed the DHS to deputize local, county and state law enforcement officers to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

“Evidently Obama didn’t get everything they wanted from the Supreme Court, so they decided to retaliate against Arizona,” Arpaio said at the time.

“What the Obama administration wants is amnesty,” Arpaio said. “DHS has made it clear the goal is to allow people here illegally to hit the streets.”

Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse team of volunteer investigators continues to probe President Obama’s eligibility for office, focusing on the birth certificate made public by the White House. Arpaio and the posse have concluded the birth certificate is a fraud and are urging Congress to investigate.

In April, a suspicious package addressed to Arpaio contained a bomb that was powerful enough to maim or even kill him, his office said.

Throw Needed Support Arpaio’s Way

Joe Arpaio
John R. Houk
© May 8, 2013

Look – I think the Birther agenda is a dead issue. For my two cents I don’t believe Obama was born in Kenya; However I do believe when his Communist mommy married an Indonesian Muslim and moved to Indonesia that Obama became an Indonesian citizen. I believe Obama went to college on immigrant scholarships making it a problematic issue as to his citizenship status from having a Kenyan father and an Indonesian step-father and still be eligible for the Office of President.

I think the Birther agenda is a dead issue because there is no way Obama’s army of private lawyers with the support of the Lame Stream Media that any movement of actual discovery will occur until Obama is long out of Office. The whole thing about the Birther agenda is to get rid of that ineligible man who has been elected President. I am afraid that won’t happen during Obama’s Presidency. As a side note though the Benghazigate information is beginning to snowball and could lead to an Obama impeachment.

I know Hispanic-American citizens both by birth and by naturalization will rail against me; nevertheless I believe illegal immigration must be strictly enforced. I believe immigration reform should occur to make it easier for south of the border folks to work in the USA. BUT I have a huge problem with south of the border folks coming to America illegally to receive welfare, medical and educational benefits that lower income American citizens cannot access.

Now in believing this so strongly about immigration and also not being a huge fan of Obama’s Leftist “Change” agenda for American culture I admire people willing to buck the system and do the right thing even if it is NOT politically correct.

One such person is Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The County Sheriff that has managed a little bit of public scrutiny on Obama’s unverified citizenship path and an enforcer of illegal immigration laws set up to prevent illegal alien/immigrants for getting a toe-hold on American soil.

Arpaio won his County election in November 2012 but is as usual with Leftist agenda folks that election victory was irrelevant if the law provides an easy path for a recall election to nullify the duly appointed election. Chunks of money – as I type – are now going into the coffers of recall election proponents to remove an old Joe who enforces the law rather than create the law ex nihilo without or against Constitutional law.

Below is a plea for financial support for Sheriff Joe to mount a campaign to offset the recall Leftists working inside Maricopa County but probably getting boots on the ground and money from Leftist coffers outside of Maricopa.

(Joe Arpaio) Quick Update

Sent by Joe Arpaio
Sent: May 6, 2013 at 5:08 PM

I've written to you before about the effort to remove me from office, and I wanted to provide you a quick update.

A group of open borders extremists are right now paying for signatures from voters around Maricopa County in order to force a recall election against me. They have already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this effort and it is paying off for them.

As misdirected and delusional as these people are, their efforts are gaining momentum. Just last week the local newspaper reported that they have collected well over half of the required signatures to force an election.

Their deadline is May 30th and we are now hearing that the recall organizers are going to dump $500,000 to $1,000,000 in the closing days to pay for the remaining signatures.

Why do they want to remove me from office? It's quite simple. I have become the poster boy for the radical left because of my unwavering support and enforcement of our state and country's immigration laws.

John, time is running out and I need your help today.

In order for me to continue fighting for our shared values, I need
your immediate support.
Your donation of $25, $50, $100 or more will ensure my campaign has the resources it needs to fight back.

Every day, they are out there lying about me personally and about my record in order to dupe voters into signing their petition.

I certainly didn't ask for this recall but you can bet I will not stand by and let a group of extremists overturn last year's election and throw me out of office.

If they are successful I'm going to have the toughest re-election campaign in my career. In fact, because of the nature of recall elections, political experts predict I could very well lose the election.

I must have the necessary resources to stop this recall effort and that's why I'm reaching out to you today.
By acting now we can stop them from reaching their goal. Will you help me?

I know with your help we can stop this recall dead in its tracks. I won't back down from doing the job I was elected to do. I swore an oath to uphold, protect and defend the U.S. Constitution and no group of thugs or “community activists” will intimidate me from enforcing all of our laws.

We are now in the closing days of this fight.
I hope you will make one more small sacrifice and contribute to my campaign to stop this recall today
.

The stakes have never been higher. I would not ask for your help if I didn't think it was absolutely necessary to defeat these extremists.

I hope you will join me today.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Maricopa County, Arizona


P.S. Please don't delete this email. Any amount you can give today will help us stop this effort to remove me from office. I'm not going to sit idly by while these radical groups organize for my defeat. After you make a contribution, please forward this email to at least five of your friends or family members who stand with me in upholding the Rule of Law. Thank you!

Arpaio Faces Recall Shortly after Reelection

Joe Arpaio - America's Toughest Sheriff
John R. Houk
© February 9, 2013

I don’t live in Maricopa County in Arizona thus I cannot vote for or against Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I am gratified to hear that Sheriff Arpaio was reelected to another term of Office. Why? Arpaio has gained national attention because he makes sure inmates in his County jail don’t live in a country club lifestyle, he is bullish against illegal immigration and most recently he put together a team of forensic specialists to examine documents that are publically available concerning President Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility for the Office POTUS. The last politically incorrect endeavor places Arpaio squarely in the controversial and oft berated Birther crowd.

[Side Note: My stand on the Birther Movement is quite nebulous at the moment because I believe that BHO is definitely hiding something about his past but at the same time I believe Birthers are grasping straws rather than facts. This makes them look like loons. Nonetheless, as long as Birthers continue to be a thorn in BHO’s side I love reading their speculations with the hope that one day something become verifiable.]

Arpaio’s initiatives have made him a target by Leftists on a national scale. Thus money is beginning to flow into the coffers of Sheriff Arpaio’s political enemies. AND those political enemies have initiated a recall election against Sheriff Arpaio.

Below is a national appeal for donations to counter Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s recall vote. Support Sheriff Arpaio, please.

Just three weeks after I was sworn into office for a sixth term as Maricopa County Sheriff, a group of radical extremists filed a recall campaign to forcibly remove me from office.

This is very serious. These left-wing groups of agitators are the same ones who spent millions against me in last year's campaign in an effort to defeat me. Because they didn't like the outcome of that election they are now going to spend millions of dollars to force a recall election this coming fall.

So far they have raised over $1.3 million to defeat me!


These sore losers just never stop. They figure if they can force an election in an off-year they'll be able to turn out every pro-illegal immigrant voter and steal this election. We saw them do the very same thing to an Arizona State Senator just over a year ago.

It's clear that these people will go to any lengths to see me defeated and out of office. They'll resurrect all the lies, distortions and personal attacks from last year's campaign and use them against me this year.

And what is this all about really? Why do they hate me so much? It's simple: I am the only law enforcement official in this state that enforces our laws against illegal immigration. Period. Everything else they'll talk about is a deceptive smokescreen because they know they cannot win on the issue of enforcing the law.

In fact, in their statement about the recall this group claims that I don't "respect, defend or protect the rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution!" This, coming from the same group of people who have waged a relentless campaign against me in an effort to stop enforcing the laws! I have sworn an oath to protect and defend our United States Constitution probably more times than these clowns have pledged allegiance to our flag.

You were such an important part of my victory last year even though we faced insurmountable odds. I certainly did not plan on this recall, but I have to ask you again for your support. The fight starts now. Over the next several months I am going to be bombarded with negative attacks and lies. I must have the necessary resources to defend my record and run a winning campaign.

But I don't care what threats they make. I will never back down one inch when it comes to doing the job I was JUST elected to do. I will continue enforcing all the laws on the books no matter what the consequences.

I am going to need your help now more than ever before. This campaign starts NOW.
Will you support me and my efforts today with a much-needed contribution of $860 (the maximum per couple), $430 (the maximum per person), $300, $250, $150 or even $50?
Your contribution today is critical as we face these radical extremist forces. We cannot allow a small band of thugs to thwart the will of the voters and erode the Rule of Law.

Trust me; I never dreamed I would have to come to you for a contribution again. But it's clear that I must ask you for your support and your prayers if we are going to beat our opponents.

SHERIFF JOE WON'T ABANDON OBAMA PROBE

Joe Arpaio - Sheriff
Obama’s Justice Department was investigating Sheriff Joe Arpaio obviously to intimate him and the Cold Case Posse. I have learned that Obama has suspended that Arpaio investigation. Now why do you think Obama would abandon an investigation of Arpaio? Could it be because facts that Obama does not want in the public during an election year would occur?

Check out this story by Drew Zahn.

SHERIFF JOE WON'T ABANDON OBAMA PROBE
Hunt for truth continues, even if media ignore evidence

September 2, 2012

The Obama administration may have dropped a legal case against Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, but that doesn’t mean “America’s toughest sheriff” has any intention of dropping his pursuit of the truth about the sitting president.

“We’re continuing it,” Arpaio told WND senior staff reporter and radio host Aaron Klein, of his office’s investigation into the document the White House released as Obama’s purported birth certificate. “We haven’t given up on it.”


Arpaio appeared on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s WABC Radio to talk about the Department of Justice’s recent decision to close a criminal probe against the sheriff, when the host asked about Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse investigation.

“We’re continuing it,” Arpaio told Klein. “It’s not whether [Obama] was born here; we’re looking at fraudulent government documents. That’s been my mission from Day 1, to see if those birth certificates are false.

“We haven’t given up on it,” he continued. “We’ll see what happens.”

When Klein asked the sheriff if he thought the birth certificate would be a significant issue in the election, however, Arpaio speculated it would continue to be swept under the rug.

“I don’t think so,” Arpaio answered, “because everybody’s ignoring it on both sides of the fence. … Even the media ignores the evidence we have. But we did our job, I was asked to do it, we used our volunteer posse at no cost to the government. We did a great investigation; we’re still coming up with information, so we’ll see what happens.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced last week that it has closed a criminal probe, without filing charges, of Arpaio’s office after an investigation began in 2010 of alleged financial improprieties by the sheriff and his deputies.

A separate federal investigation into Arpaio’s office regarding alleged civil rights abuses is still ongoing.

Nonetheless, Arpaio told Klein he was relieved to hear the U.S. Attorney’s news: “My office has been vindicated.”

Audio of the interview with Klein can be heard below:

In a separate interview with Arpaio, conducted at the recent Republican National Convention, Arpaio similarly told AM TV he was continuing the investigation into Obama’s documents.

“I’m still working on it,” he told the interviewer. “You think I’m giving up?”
