Tell
Congress and the Department of
Justice that You Support Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Attorney General Eric Holder's Department of Justice is
on a
Witch-hunt to take down the "Toughest Sheriff in America"
Petition Sponsor: Grassfire Nation
The Issue
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is being victimized by the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) under Attorney General Eric Holder. The politically motivated retaliation
alleges that Arpaio and his department have engaged in willful civil rights
violations: that his office racially profiles Latinos; bases immigration
enforcement on racially charged citizen complaints; and punishes Hispanic jail
inmates for speaking Spanish.
The Obama-controlled media and other far-left organizations are also piling on –
in a blatant smear campaign against the ultra-Conservative Sheriff.
The latest attacks are the apparent result of his
department's tough stand on illegal immigration, and his unceasing efforts to
curb crime – including immigration violations – while the President is posturing
for the Hispanic vote.
Even though Arpaio has agreed to work with the DOJ, they have yet to offer
specifics of their allegations.
Grassfire Nation finds this baseless, politically motivated attack on Sheriff
Joe to be reprehensible, and is mobilizing a strong grassroots response to
counter this effort through their "Support Sheriff Joe" letter initiative. In a
massive show of grassroots support, Grassfire will hand-deliver letters from
citizens across the nation to Sheriff Arpaio, The Department of Justice and key
members of the U.S. House and Senate Judiciary Committees Demanding an end to
the Obama/Holder witch-hunt.
The Statement of
Support states:
As a Citizen of the United States, I am declaring my support for Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the Sheriff's lawful practices in prosecuting criminals and his unflinching stand in handling the illegal immigration crisis in his home state of Arizona.
I demand that the U.S. Department of Justice release any evidence involving the allegations against Sheriff Joe and his department's practices. If proven unfounded, I demand an immediate end to the politically motivated witch-hunt against the Sheriff and his department, and a public apology from Attorney General Holder.
