Sheriff Joe Arpaio Endorses Rick Perry

Email received this afternoon from the Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio:

Sharon,

They call me America’s Toughest Sheriff. I don’t tolerate illegal activity. I don’t coddle criminals. And I refuse to sit idly by while Washington turns a blind eye towards illegal immigration and border security. 

As Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, I know that our porous southern border puts all of America at risk. 

It’s time we had a president who knew that, too. 

That’s why I support Rick Perry for president, and I hope you will join me.

Unlike other candidates, Rick Perry has never been the choice of the political establishment, never been a paid lobbyist and never served in Congress or an Administration. He is the true outsider… the right man to bring desperately needed change to Washington.

No candidate has done more to secure the border than Rick Perry. As governor, he directed nearly $400 million in state tax dollars to secure the border with more boots on the ground.\\ 

As president, Rick Perry will stop illegal immigration and drug smugglers with a massive increase in manpower, including National Guard troops and thousands of new Border Patrol agents. 

He will deploy new technology like predator drones, order federal officials to build more strategic fencing and end the dangerous Obama catch-and-release policy that allows thousands of illegal aliens to be released on American streets. 

With Rick Perry as president, we can secure the border in just one year. 

If you agree that America needs a president with the courage to stand up to the status quo in Washington, and a commitment to keeping America safe, I hope you will join me in supporting Rick Perry for president. 

Take it from a tough conservative – Rick Perry is the real deal.

Sincerely,
Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Maricopa County, Arizona

Agree 100% that Rick Perry is the real deal and why I personally have supported him since we moved to Texas in 1990 and he was running for Agriculture Commissioner.  You will not find a candidate who will work harder for America then Rick Perry who may not win the title of best debater but wins the title of the best man for America with the most experience to be President.  If I wanted a debater, I would be choosing a candidate who I think would not make the best President.

While Romney was honing his debating skills for the last five years, Rick Perry was running the State of Texas very successfully and doing the job of the federal government on illegal immigration.  I will take the Texas Governor hands down over someone who didn't see the need to get a job since he left as MA Governor where he oversaw RomneyCare which has been a disaster for healthcare in MA.  Just remember that Romney, the man who is building a $12M mansion, is unemployed according to what he tells the voters.  My recommendation is to keep him unemployed!

There is only ONE candidate in the Presidential race who understands what it takes to secure the border with Mexico and that is Rick Perry.  He understands that building a fence along the whole border is not feasible unlike some of our candidates who have never even been to places like Del Rio or Big Bend.
