Let's take a look at that pamphlet, shall we?
Here is a little of what can be found on the website Thirty gave a link to:
This is not a joke or hoax my friend. This is for real and is what is here and now in our Country. Are you considered a terrorist by your own Country?
Public Servants Going After "Constitutional Terrorists"? by Angel

KeepAndBearArms.com --
The Phoenix Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (Greater Phoenix, Arizona), and the Maricopa County Attorney are handing out flyers asking the recipients to help them fight domestic terrorism.
I received one of these flyers this past weekend at the Arizona "Freedom in the 21st Century" gathering. One member of the Sheriff's Posse Reserve in attendance said he'd seen the flyer before and that it is legitimate.
[I will be getting verification before this report goes live on our site, including recording phone calls to these people.]
Called the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the program was created, presumably, to help preserve the American way of life, right? In part, probably. However, it also looks like it's a disinformation campaign to paint least a few groups of Real Americans as domestic terrorists.
Among other things, the dynamic trio is asking people:
"If you encounter any of the following, Call the Joint Terrorism Task Force":
"defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN" [That describes many civil liberties groups and most gun rights and American Sovereignty groups in existence -- and, by extension, their members.]
"Groups of individuals engaging in para-military training" [Such as, perhaps, shooting your semi-automatic "assault weapon" with some friends out in the desert?"]
Also being sought are "Common Law Movement Proponents" who "Request authority for a stop" [That's illegal now?]
"Make numerous references to the US Constitution" [That's illegal now?]
"Attempt to 'police the police'" [That's illegal now?]
And let's not forget the other potential "domestic terrorists" being sought. We really need to watch out for these people:
"Lone Individuals" [Do you meet that description?]
"Rebels" [Know any gun rights activist who doesn't have at least a touch of rebel pumping through the old bloodstream?]
Be sure and notice the following two things on the flyer, as well:
1) There is NOT ONE MENTION of "Islamic Fundamentalists" anywhere.
2) Defenders of the US Constitution and the common law from which it grew are being classified on the same level as the bottom-feeding Skinheads, Nazis and the KKK.
"I just spoke to Terry Chapman, whose name is on the flyer, of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Dept.
He said that the Sheriff's office demanded that the FBI stop circulating the flyer as long as the Sheriff's Dept was associated with it. He believes that they have stopped circulating it. I said they need to issue an apology and a retraction.
I told him that there is no need to profile people into categories. If they commit a crime, they are a criminal. No other profile needs to exist.
He said he was disgusted by the flyer.
He said one of his own Lieutenants called him and said, "Terry, I guess I am on the list of Domestic Terrorists since I believe in the US Constitution."
He said the Sheriff's office has been inundated with calls about this flyer.
He asked me if I received the flyer in the mail or if it was on the Internet. When I responded with the latter, he said, "aww,God."
I told him it would probably be circulating for a long time. He knew.
Call me a terrorist, I love to quote the Constitution. ; )
