In an email to supporters today, Sheriff Joe Arpaio wrote:
[A]s one of my most loyal supporters and friends over the years, I wanted you to hear it from me first.
After much thought, prayers and talks with my loving wife, Ava, I have decided to run for re-election for Sheriff.
Naturally, since it was a fundraising letter, he can’t do it without lots of money. It will be an uphill battle against an array of daunting forces:
Al Sharpton, George Lopez, Linda Ronstadt and a gaggle of other celebrity lefties are using their Hollywood megaphone to slander my name and reputation.

- Arpaio to run for seventh term as Maricopa County Sheriff – KPHO Phoenix
And….a universe shatters while guts wrench…
The people of Maricopa county were dumb enough to elect him this many times. They’ll probably re-elect the sagging sack of crap until he finally keels over.
As much as I despise the old felon, he certainly has that right, and if the local voters are sh*t-*at*ng morons and reelect him, they truly deserve what they get.
Not only No but hell NOOOOOO!
Hmmmm, does anyone know whether he’s allowed to use campaign funds to pay legal bills, for, say federal contempt of court cases?
I’m sure that line can be blurred for you.
Why do I think that money raised by gullible birthers in expectation of the Universe-Shattering Day is going to fuel this gravy train — and likely will continue to do so.
Because he’s Joe Arpaio – the toughest Clown in America.

Enter the campaign team of Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong-Un
It’s official, then. Arpaio and Zullo are going to string the birther suckers along for another two years.
Apparently at least in Texas a public official can use campaign funds to pay legal bills, as former Gov. Rick Perry is doing so to fight his indiictments.
Did the fund raising letter mention the birth certificate investimagination? If not, Birthers and Tea Party types are too ignorant to figure out that they’ve been played for suckers.
Sheriff Arpaio to run for re-election in 2016

Do I have your support?
If I do, I’m asking you to sign your name to my re-election support pledge right now.

Wow so we’re going to learn how many people trashed his junk mail yeah should be pretty interesting John
Did the fund raising letter mention the birth certificate investimagination? If not, Birthers and Tea Party types are too braindead to figure out that they’ve been played for suckers.
Not a hint.
A major point made in the documentary, “The Joe Show,” is that Arpaio’s margin of victory has been steadily declining.
In the last election Arpaio had to spend around $8 million to defeat an opponent who spent in the hundreds of thousands.
Meanwhile, here in Pima County, Sheriff Dupnik says he’s had enough.
http://blogforarizona.net/pima-county-sheriff-clarence-dupnik-announces-retirement/
Hence the need for the birther suckers, and their cash.
Maybe the people who keep voting for him aren’t spring chickens either.
What are you doing posting on this blog when you should be getting ready for the game tonight?
No they are not spring chickens just rich winter residents that U.S. Senator John McCain and Sheriff Joe Arpaio are milking for money and votes. The winter residents were told to be in AZ for the elections of those two so the winter residents come to AZ 30 day prior so they can register and vote for those two and then they run back to their home state to vote in the elections there. Or they use their absentee ballots and register to vote in their home state afterwards.
Who told them this?
I lived in Arizona for most of the last 60 years and don’t EVER recall hearing anything about winter visitors being allowed to vote.
What you describe is illegal.
How long do you have to be in the state and registered to vote?
Well? How long?
Arizona law requires that a voter be a resident of Arizona for at least 29 days prior to registering, so a snowbird from Michigan could come to Arizona the first week of October and register to vote in time for the November election.
However, Arizona’s voter registration form requires that you disclose if you are registered to vote in another state. When you make that disclosure, Arizona notifies the Board of Elections in your prior state that you are now registered to vote in Arizona, and your prior state will drop you for its voter rolls.
If you are registered to vote in another state and you fail to disclose it, you have committed a Class 6 felony.
Anyone who votes in more than one state on Election Day, whether in person or by absentee ballot, is breaking the law.
Want to tell me what is stopping a voter after voting in an Arizona election after the voter registered for it and the following day return to the voters home state and reregistering to vote there. As in the case put to me. During U.S. Senator John McCain and Sheriff Joe Arpaios reelection I was to be in Arizona and vote for them next reelection is 2016 and vote in my home state during the other years. By registering there. OR LEAVE!
It is voting in two different states in the same election cycle that is illegal. If you register in Arizona – legally – your registration in your home state will be canceled. To then vote in your home state, you would have to pass the residency requirements there and re-register which would cancel your Arizona registration. If you voted early in Arizona in order to be back home in time to satisfy the residency requirement (if that is possible), then at least one of your votes is illegal, and as Ricky says a Class 6 felony.
You cannot – legally – be registered to vote in two different places at the same time.
If you are talking about different years, what is wrong with that, other than the immoral concept of it all? People move around all the time in America, should they be disqualified from voting just because they moved a couple of times? Moving just for the sake of voting in a electorate where someone needs propping up is stupid and expensive – unless you are on the Koch’s payroll maybe? I know of a couple of people who would like to know about that if so.
Are you angling for yet another level of voter registration? Perhaps you want a NATIONAL voter ID card? Maybe a bar code tattooed on your shoulder?
I was told to leave if I didn’t vote for McCain or arpaio. I left!
So was that this Koch guy
They were all disabled navy veterans
The birds are here every year they can just vote one year in Arizona for McCain and arpaios election or McCain can send them all absentee ballots as he did for the birds in florida.
I thought he was “too old” LAST time???
Methinks he clings to power because he knows that his eventual replacement will uncover many skeletons, many shenanigans, and that the re-emergence of a normal sheriff’s dept. operation will destroy his “legacy”. All but his diehard supporters will realize his reign was a farcical bad dream.
If he loses, the paper shredders will be working double shifts! Department hard drives, servers my have some trouble 😉
As one would expect, desperation is keeping the Gerbil Report inmates from putting two and two together. Right after Joe announces he’s up for re-election his unofficial mouth piece does the “The investigation is still going! Honest!” spiel.
By whom?
The people around me
Who? (Again)
When?
Where?
Why?
The only way I ever know there’s a game is I can’t go down 6th Street.
I’d just stop hanging out at that bar.
The voter will not be allowed to re-register in his or her home state because the home state will have been notified that the voter just registered to vote in Arizona. It is illegal to be registered to vote in multiple states for the same election cycle. It is illegal to vote in two different locations in the same election cycle.
If a voter does it and gets caught, the voter will be charged with a felony.
How would “they” know how you voted, unless you told them?
You didn’t address the whole paragraph!
And the other “W” is “Wait”!
i’ve had the exact same thought.
Here’s another example (excerpt below) of how Sheriff Arpaio utilizes other people and other sources to get his real message out to the public that he won’t include in his mailings sent under his name. According to Doc, there is no mention of the birth certificate investigation in Arpaio’s recent announcement emailed to his supporters informing them that he is running for reelection and requesting more money. But leave it to Western Center for Journalism to serve as Joe’s water boy. The message is loud and clear. He’s a cagey old codger, that’s for sure.
“One of the ways Sheriff Joe has gone up against Obama is in his dogged pursuit of the truth regarding the president’s birth certificate, the authenticity of which the Arpaio “posse” has repeatedly questioned.”

I suspect that the Shurf can’t afford to let anyone get a good look at the books or what he’s been doing the last few/lotta years, anymore than the Sheriff’s department can really afford for an outsider to start poking around their internal workings. I suspect, that even in AZ, people can go to jail for a lot of what they have been doing the last few years.

“You didn’t address the whole paragraph!”
Are you suggesting that you were among a group of people who were actively solicited by either campaign camp to travel to Arizona to simply vote for McCain & Arpaio ? As CarlOrcas has said, please give us more details.
“After much thought, prayers and talks with my loving wife, Ava, I have decided to run for re-election [in 2016] for Sheriff.”
How much thought and prayer went into this decision when Arpaio already promised to run for reelection in 2016 as reported back in 2012? (See last few sentences in the linked article.)
This fellow is one, very slippery politician.

Anyone wanna take a stab at which excuse birthers will use for why Shurfjoke won’t be using his Superbowl appearance to “expose the usurper”? I’m sure the faithful A&Z will come up with something to shield themselves from reality. Maybe he’s having to make sure he dotted all the is and crossed all the ts. 😉
He’s only got one major legal hurdle to overcome, and he doesn’t want to waste his one shot before he’s absolutely read to convict.
No they were Arizona NAVY veterans that was excited about their prodigal son!
Your messages would be easier to follow if you used the quote back function….just like I did here.
Now…..more questions for you to ignore and evade:
When and where did these “Arizona NAVY veterans” do this?
Also, out of curiosity, why did you decide to participate in a clearly illegal act?
Because I am a bad guy just ask my mama
A child…..in other words.
Retired U.S. Military and Civil Service
And what are YOU trying to hide? By wanting private conservations!
That doesn’t make your conduct any less childish.
If that is addressed to me……………..it’s clear you don’t understand. There are no private conversations on this blog.
Asking you to use the quote back mechanism simply makes it possible for people to understand who and what you are responding to.
It’s also polite. Ask mama. She’ll explain to you how important it is to be polite to other people.
You are right I am just a baby and a trouble maker just ask Joe. Ain’t that right joe?
Because you refuse to use the quote function, it is impossible to figure out to whom you are responding and what point you are responding to.
It’s simple. Click on (Quote) in the note you are responding to and then write your response.
If anything that makes you MORE accountable for what you say and do.

This is really amazing. The self anointed “Toughest Sheriff In America” is overwhelmed by Linda Rondstadt??????
Looks like there are some concerns for Team Arpaio.

Zullo: “It appears we have made an honest mistake. For the last two years, we were trying to cross the i’s and dot the t’s when it should’ve been the other way around. Obviously, now that we’ve been alerted of this mistake, the investigation can go forward swimmingly. We may have more chorus-and-verse shattering evidence ready to be released in March. Some March. Not necessarily this one.”
Sure. She’s a Latina, and she’s got Parkinson’s. That’s a dangerous combination don’t you know.
And she’s from Tucson.
And her brother used to be the police chief.
Lawyers For Joe Arpaio Seek Meeting In Racial Profiling Case
Lawyers for embattled Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio have asked a federal judge to order a settlement conference as they seek to ward off possible contempt charges stemming from a 2007 racial profiling case, court documents showed on Monday.
Lawyers asked U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow for the closed-door conference to narrow “the issues before the court” over violations of judicial orders by Arpaio and his office in the high-profile case involving profiling of Latino drivers.

Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting?
Maybe one of our real lawyers can tell us how these things normally go.
I can’t imagine anything but “Yes, your honor, we’ll do exactly what you want….immediately!” will work with Snow at this point.
And her Great-Grandfather, Friederich August Ronstadt was born in Germany, and came to Tucson from Mexico in 1854 – the same year as the Gadsden Purchase.
I’m not sure if he crossed the border, or the border crossed him, but I bet you dollars to donuts that he didn’t wait in no immigration queue!
Fred was a carriage builder and mechanic and founded one of the greatest hardware stores in the country. He was a musician and passed the music tradition down to his family. His son founded Tucson’s first professional orchestra, “Club Filarmonico Tucsonense”, his granddaughter, Louisa Espinel, became an internationally acclaimed vocalist, as did Linda (Louisa’s niece), of course.
Both Louisa published a songbook titled ‘Canciones de mi padre’ (Songs of my Father) and Linda used that name on a record in honor of their family each in honor of their father and their musical legacy.
The Ronstadt family is a very important Tucson pioneer family.
