Say It Ain’t So: Arpaio on Conan!?

January 7, 2009

From America’s Voice: Call NBC NOW!

Arizona’s biggest immigrant bully, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, is going to be on Conan tonight.

Please call NBC RIGHT NOW to tell them the truth about Sheriff Joe, who should be prosecuted for racial profiling of anyone who looks Latino, not glorified on national TV:

Call NBC and ask for the Conan O’Brien Show: 1-212-664-4444.
Ask to be connected to the Conan Show producers. Say something like this:

“I am horrified that Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a civil rights abuser who has 2,700 lawsuits filed against him, is going to be on the Conan Show.

I hope that the producers encourage Conan to ask Sheriff Arpaio about his racial profiling of Latino citizens in Arizona.”

Tell the show’s producers that Sheriff Joe’s tactics may be showy, but they aren’t funny:

· 2,700 lawsuits have been filed against Arpaio for his civil rights violations.

· Joe prioritizes immigrant sweeps over prosecuting felons (there are 40,000 outstanding warrants in his county)

· County response times to emergency calls have shot up while arrest rates for non-immigration crimes plummeted.
