Anytime I learn something educational about our rights I want to pass it along. How many people know that:

"the sheriff is the highest governmental authority in his county. Within that jurisdiction – inside his county – the sheriff has more power than the governor of his state. Indeed, the sheriff has more power in his county than the President of the United States. In his county, he can overrule the President and kick his people out. Remember, the President has few and limited powers..."

We certainly know that Sheriff in AZ is living up to his job. There's also another great former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona - Richard Mack - who is also an author and is trying to eduate the American people about the power of local sheriffs:

Sheriff Mack's newest book covers decades of research to prove once and for all that the sheriffs in this country are indeed the ultimate law authority in their respective jurisdictions. The sheriff absolutely has the power and responsiblity to defend his citizens against all enemies, including those from our own Federal Government. History, case law, common law and common sense all show clear evidence that the sheriff is the people's protector in all issues of injustice and is responsible for keeping the peace in all matters. He is the last line of defense for his constituents; he is America's last hope to regain our forgotten freedom. This short but powerful book is a must read for all citizens, sheriffs, and government officials that we may all work to return America to the constitutional republic she was meant to be. Amazing as it might be, the sheriff can make this happen!

We keep focusing on our Senators and Congressmen but maybe we need to get in the ears of our local Sheriffs instead. Maybe D.C. is too far gone with the lobbyists, and we need to fight locally whether it's illegal immigration or anything else. Any thoughts?
