That's great. Have you seen it on Fox or CNN or any of the national networks? I haven't.

Joe Arpaio was apparently interviewed on FOX this morning. He told John Justice that in a live interview on this morning's radio show.

We need to see if we can get this person disbarred.

Here's a response I got from the National AG: Sounds like crap to me, so I sent back another reply to him! See my reply below this.

Thank you for taking the time to write. Please note that the ABA is a national, voluntary professional legal organization. The American Bar Association sponsors a number of programs to improve the justice system, but is not able to help people with specific legal problems or cases, as we do not provide legal advice. The Association is also not able to refer you to an attorney. In addition, we do not rank our members or provide information about their credentials to either the public or other members.

Following, please find a list of lawyer referral services around the United States for both hired lawyers and pro bono (free legal help) services. Please inform the service of your specific needs so that they may direct you to the proper agency.

If you have complaints about an attorney, judge, or the justice system, please note that the only role that the ABA plays in lawyer discipline is to provide general recommendations and guidelines to state disciplinary authorities and courts for improvements in the disciplinary process. We are therefore unable to help you with your grievance or disciplinary complaint. The ABA has no jurisdiction and no authority over state bar associations. The Association does not address specific complaints because it has no power to investigate or intervene in matters involving individual lawyers. Ultimate authority over lawyer discipline in each state lies with the supreme court of that state. If you have a grievance, please contact the state agency using the directory weblink provided below.

Best regards,

I just wanted you to know that this is what a Prosecutor in NM is doing.
It's not legal for her to do this!
Something has to be done. Clinton was thrown out, why not this unlawful
Attorney?
It's on video for proof. I don't need your help personally, she does! Every
AG in the US is going to get this Article...I will post your reply in the
illegal immigrant forum.
Thanks for getting back to me.

NOTE: I have no problem with legal immigrants.

I think she has to have charges brought up against her in the state she took the bar examination. I could be wrong. Maybe contact. IRLI

Perhaps these people can give us a path to get it done:

Call to Action: Arpaio's racist media targets Isabel Garcia
Contact:
Coalición de Derechos Humanos P.O. Box 1286Tucson, AZ 8570Office: 520.770.1373or 1.800.682.4280Fax: 520.770.7455
http://www.derechoshumanosaz.net/
Coalición de Derechos Humanos is a grassroots organization which promotes respect for human/civil rights and fights the militarization of the Southern Border region, discrimination, and human rights abuses by federal, state, and local law enforcement officials affecting U.S. and non-U.S. citizens alike.
Call to Action!
Defend Isabel Garcia!---Defend our First Amendment Rights!---Demand Accountability from those who would support Hate media! As many of you are aware, a protest last week of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio last week has had some ugly backlash. As a community, we set out to let Arpaio know that there were many who did not welcome him into our community. As part of this protest, and in a symbolic expression our disagreement with Sheriff Arpaio, his policies, and his promoting of his xenophobic and narrow-minded perspective in his recent book, an empty piñata with the likeness of Sheriff Arpaio was hit by local youth. As a result, the right-wing radio talk show host, Jon Justice (104.1 The Truth) has launched a campaign to have one of our Co-chairs, Isabel Garcia, fired from her position as a Pima County Legal Defender. Many do not know that 104.1FM is associated with local news channel KGUN 9-we would like to ask KGUN 9 about their support of such divisive views as those expressed on 104.1FM. Since last Friday, our office has received numerous hate calls, and Jon Justice has posted a YouTube video of himself with a piñata with Isabel's likeness, caressing it and making comments about "wanting to take it home with me," among a few other comments about "chorizo" and "viva la raza." You can see this video at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTR20jav2RA
We ask you, as community allies, to step up with us in defending Isabel Garcia, demand accountability from 104.1FM and KGUN 9, and that hate speech not be given a platform in our communities.
It is our First Amendment Right, and our duty as members of this society, to denounce anything that goes against the basic human and civil rights that ALL posess. To try to silence those that would condemn torture and raciscm is contrary to the rights of us all! Please help us to spread the word, and take up the following action items:
1. Contact Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckleberry in support of Isabel Garcia. 520.740.8661 or e-mail chh@pima.gov 2. 3. Contact the Journal Broadcast Group, expressing your opinion of Jon Justice and the tactics of 104.1FM, and your concern that local KGUN 9 would be associated with an outlet that is so obviously NOT an objective media source. Contact Julie Brinks: 520.290.7600 or e-mail: jbrinks@journalbroadcastinggroup.com 4. 5. Contact the Board of Supervisors, voicing your support of Isabel Garcia, who has broken no rule or regulation as a Pima County employee.

Thank you again mapwife! Keep it coming. The blog gives us some great names and contacts -I'm going to use it tomorrow! I'm still angry about this woman's actions. And as a parent I'm very angry that she;


an empty piñata with the likeness of Sheriff Arpaio was hit by local youth.


Maybe she will resign.

I'm still watching this link with the video. Especially the comments. There is one incredibly arrogant poster who does his side no good. Go give him some thumb's down.

Please send letters condeming her actions and requesting her firing, to the Attorney Generals in all states. That should apply pressure shouldn't it?

I sent mine to Maine's AG yesterday.

Glad to see Arpaio's office is contacting the Arizona State Bar. Give them heck Joe.
