SHERIF JOE NEEDS $25

I normally do not write you emails this personal — but today I'm making an exception.

We are in trouble.

I have spent my entire life fighting for what is right and the rule of law. I have fought against Mexican Drug Cartels who have threatened my life and my family. I have fought against this Department of Justice and legal actions against me by special interests who were only interested in scoring political points. And, Richard, I have fought against President Obama who doesn't have the first clue on how to secure our borders or protect our citizens.

But today it feels like I'm fighting them all at the same time and more.

And while I will never give up the fight for justice and to protect American citizens... I can't continue to fight without your immediate help.

So before you read any further, I hope you will click on this donation button I asked my staff to make just for you and help me today.

Let me explain a little more: The liberal media is using my recent court battles against the Obama administration as fodder to defeat me and to increase their fundraising numbers, with an AZ newspaper writing: "the upcoming election represents the most likely possibility yet that the sheriff could get voted out of office..."

Not only is the liberal media using my court battles against the Obama Administration to drag my name through the mud, and creating a narrative that my defeat is imminent.

I can't begin to tell you how bad it will be if we lose this election and are barred from doing the job the voters expect me to do...

• Mexican Cartels will win. They've been gunning for me for years
• Drug smugglers will win. They know I never look the other way when they break our laws.
• President Obama will win. He and his liberal allies have had it out for me since day one.
• Open border liberals will win. They know I'm the last major force standing between Americans and an all-out free for all at our border.

• The single mother who can't protect her children from a rampant drug culture.
• The southern Arizona rancher who will lose his last ally in his fight to keep illegals from crossing through his land.
• The grandmother whose grandson can't go to school without being confronted by drug pushers.
• The police officers who are killed in a crossfire of rival drug gangs.
• The father who worries his child could be killed by an illegal immigrant drunk behind the wheel of a car.
