Dear Patriot,
You're not going to believe this. And you may have to read this email
a second time to allow it all to sink in.
A federal judge has just recommended the US Attorney's Office investigate
me for possible criminal contempt.
The judge made this decision just 10 days before my primary election!
I never would have imagined I'd be writing you such an email. Let
me explain what is going on:
This decision by this judge stems from a "racial profiling"
case brought against me by the ultra-liberal American Civil Liberties
Union - or better known as the ACLU. You know them.
They're the far-left group that makes a living off suing police departments
for financial gain. They're also the ones who defend child molesters,
cop killers and known terrorists such as Khalid Sheik Mohamed - the mastermind of 9/11 attacks!
This all started when Attorney General Eric Holder started an investigation
on me right after Obama took office.
The ACLU and the Obama's Justice Department have sued me repeatedly
in court because of my unwavering position against illegal immigration, Obama's executive orders on amnesty and having an unsecured border
where criminals and drugs flow across freely.
I was faced with a tough re-election battle before, but now the stakes
just got higher. . .WAY HIGHER. In addition to campaigning for re-election I'm now going to have to
fight tooth and nail against this court action.
That's why I need your help, right away.
Barack Obama, his Justice Department and their far-left allies like the
ACLU would love nothing better than to see me convicted of a crime.
But I want to be clear: I have not been found guilty of anything. And to
be even more clear: I am running for re-election for Sheriff.
Nothing - I repeat, nothing - will stop me from doing the job I was elected
to do. And I will not be intimidated by anyone who seeks to silence me
from speaking out against our federal government's failure to secure
our border or enforce our immigration laws.
But in order to continue to do my job I need your immediate financial help
right now.
While this process unfolds, I am more determined now than ever to win
this election. This whole case has been politicized from the very beginning
and I've largely been quiet about it because I respect the process.
But I can no longer sit by quietly while these left-wing elements use the
courts in an effort to damage me politically.
There are two things I know for sure: I will never back down from a fight.
I'm going to do everything in my power to fight this case because
I know I've done nothing wrong. I'm confident, at the end of the
day, I'll be cleared of any wrongdoing.
Secondly,
I know I cannot win this election without your immediate support. The media is already having a field day with this. They're intentionally
misleading the public about this case and making it sound as if I'm
going to jail! This could not be further from the truth. But they have
a pre-determined narrative about me. They hate my guts because I stand up for the truth and for the Rule of Law.
As I said before, this election just got a lot more difficult. I'm
not going to sugar coat anything here. Without your help, these guys win.
I'm going to have to re-double my efforts to win this race which means
more TV ads, more mail, more signs, and more campaign appearances to get
my message out to the voters that I'm not backing down.
I need financial support from patriots like you to allow me to do that
--will you donate $50 today to help?
I've always fought for the people of this country. I've dedicated
my life to public service and law enforcement.
I know I've asked you for your help before and you have delivered.
I'm now asking again because without your help, I'm dead in the water. The only way I can compete with the millions of dollars in misleading,
negative attacks ads that are sure to come my way, are to get my message
directly to the voters. But that is going to mean the support of good
citizens like you.
So please give whatever you can to my campaign today.
For our country,
Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Maricopa County, Arizona
