Maricopa County's Sheriff Arpaio honored with national award
Maricopa County's Sheriff Arpaio honored with national award

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio received a national award in Tennessee over the Memorial Day weekend.
Arpaio was honored with the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award from the Buford Pusser Foundation.
Pusser became Sheriff of McNairy County after moving to Adamsville in the 1960s.
Pusser gained a reputation for cleaning up the illegal operations on the Tennessee-Mississippi state line that included gambling, prostitution, and moonshine whisky.
Movies and a television series were produced about the sheriff and weekly newspaper reports portrayed him as a threat to anyone breaking the law in McNairy County.
Pusser was killed in a car accident in 1974.
Arpaio said meeting with people who knew and worked with Sheriff Buford Pusser was a memorable and moving experience.
Police, deputies, officials, and others from all over the United States and Canada attended the event in Adamsville.
"I appreciated the award, but what was really gratifying was the opportunity to meet personally with Sheriff Pusser's family & friends and hearing their stories about their beloved Sheriff," said Arpaio.
"Had he been alive as Sheriff today, he might have been called the toughest Sheriff in America."

Go Joe!
This article was too short.
Added to the homepage with the following note...
ALIPAC Note: We salute Sheriff Joe! We wish more law enforcement chiefs would follow the example of Joe Arpaio and crackdown on illegal aliens like the public wants. We need more American heroes like Joe!

Greatness is it's own reward but Sheriff Joe deserves this honor and many more. He stood up on the side of the American People when it didn't seem to be a very popular thing to do amongst many politicians. We difinitely need more like him.
His state funding was pulled by open borders Gov. Janet Napolitano a couple of weeks back. He has since set up a fund that we all can contribute to and help make up the funding. My 1st check went out the other day. It wasn't a large check but if enough of us get involved, they won't have to be large to be effective. If the public can make up the full amount of the funding pulled in donations, what a message that will send to the obl.
If anyone is interested and missed the address before, it is:
MCSO Donation Fund
100 West Washington, Suite 1900
Phoenix, Arizona 85003
Checks must be earmarked "for illegal immigration" otherwise they will not be able to accept the donation.
Way to go Sheriff Joe!!
