Sheriff Joe Arpaio Goes After ACORN
Phoenix Business Journal, The Lid ^ | 9/18/09 | The Lid

Posted on 09/18/2009 10:46:53 AM PDT by Shellybenoit

Back in July a class action suit was filed against America's Sheriff, Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County Arizona. Sheriff Joe is the guy who has become famous for the tough way he treats criminals including making them live in tents and having to wear pink prison uniforms. Over in the last three years Arpaio has been a one-man homeland security agent, he has handed over 22,616 illegal immigrants to ICE for deportation.

Of course those in the PC Police are not happy with the Sheriff, Racist Agitator Al Sharpton has threatened to protest, Eric Holder is investigating him for racial profiling, and there is even a class action racial discrimination suit against him, all because he is trying to keep people who have come into the country illegally from staying in the country.

Apparently among the organizations helping with the lawsuit against the Sheriff is ACORN, so Sheriff Joe is going after the group for mis-using its funds.

Go Joe!

I’m so proud to live in Maricopa County. Best damn sheriff on the planet. A man who holds to the law, doesn’t mince words, doesn’t coddle the prisoners, and watches out for the taxpayer dime.

If a sheriff used his office to protect an organization as a political payback, he should be removed from office. The inverse is true as well.

Acorn is taking money from the government for a specific reason. If they are using that money to advance a political position they are breaking the law and that is what Sheriff’s are for.

If there is an appearance of selective prosecution, an independent investigator should be named.

Acorn is given money by the federal government. If there is an abuse of funds, it is the responsibility of the federal government to investigate. It is also the responsibility of the funding source (congress), to rescind their support.

Sheriff Jow will take care of it. Waiting for Eric Holder to do squat is a fools errand

Sheriff Arpaio swore to defend the constitution of the US. He is duty bound to investigate and apprehend all criminals. If the justice department does not want to prosecute that is up to them. As far as the illegal aliens are concerned if they are falsely taking advantage of state programs they are fair game. If ACORN is giving advice on how to set up brothels they are fare game. The fact that they have worked against Sheriff Arpaio does not give them a pass.
