BIRTHDAY REMINDER

This July 23, we celebrate a special birthday.

Monica Lewinsky turns 37.
Can you believe it?

It seems like only yesterday she was crawling around
the White House on her hands and knees,
putting everything in her mouth.

They grow up so fast, don't they?

Social Security

The deficit commission, the group charged with balancing the nation's budget, met yesterday, and the latest news reports that Social Security is still a prime target for cuts.

I can't thank you enough for joining the more than 250,000 other activists who signed our petition – but it's critical that we collect even more signatures urging the president and Congress not to cut Social Security to fix the deficit.

Will you help by forwarding the message below to your friends and family?

It's up to us to keep the pressure on Congress so our retirement money isn't used to pay for their out-of-control spending. Please forward the message below to your friends and family today.

Thanks again for your support on this critical issue!

Did you know that some in Washington are considering unfairly targeting Social Security benefits for cuts?

Social security didn't cause the budget deficit, so our retirement shouldn't be put at risk to fix it!

I just signed AARP's petition to protect Social Security and keep it strong for generations to come. Please click below to join me – it will only take a minute.

SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!

You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb
Well............
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!

Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!
Maricopa County was spending approx.
$18 million dollars a year on stray animals,
like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to
take the department over, and the County
Supervisors said okay.

The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by
prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has
prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and
behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd
like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken
stray dogs off the street, given them to the care
of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.

The best part? His budget for the entire
department is now under $3 million.
Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a
Maricopa County shelter two years ago He
was neutered, and current on all shots, in
great health, and even had a microchip
inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.

The prisoners get the benefit of
about $0..28 an hour for working, but most
would work for free, just to be out of their
cells for the day. Most of his budget is for
utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners
out of the fees collected for adopted animals..

I have long wondered when the rest of the
country would take a look at the way he runs the
jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a
huge farm, donated to the county years ago,
where inmates can work, and they grow most
of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvest in
hand.
He has a pretty good sized hog farm,
which provides meat, and fertilizer. It
fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where
prisoners work, and you can buy a living
Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays,
and plant it later... We have six trees
in our yard from the Prison.

Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.

Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again.
He painted all his buses and vehicles with a
mural, that has a special hotline phone
number painted on it, where you can call and
report suspected illegal aliens.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40
deputies trained specifically for enforcing
immigration laws, started up his hotline,
and bought 4 new buses just for hauling
folks back to the border. He's kind of a
'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff.

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH
JOE ARPAIO


HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF
AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED
OVER AND OVER THIS IS ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY:

It was Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona
who created the ' Tent City Jail':

He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving
and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the
jails. Took away their weights Cut off all
but 'G' movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then He Started Chain Gangs For
Women So He Wouldn't Get Sued For Discrimination.


He took away cable TV Until he found out
there was A Federal Court Order that Required
Cable TV For Jails So He Hooked Up The Cable TV
Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The
Weather Channel.
When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs.

He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton......If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.'

More On The Arizona Sheriff:

With Temperatures Being Even Hotter Than Usual In
Phoenix last summer(116 Degrees Set A New Record),
the Associated Press Reported: About
2,000 Inmates Living In A
Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment At
The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given
Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued
Pink Boxer Shorts.

On a Wednesday, hundreds of men
wearing boxers were either curled up on their
bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached
138 Degrees Inside The Week Before.

Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels
As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped
Down To Their PINK SOCKS.

'It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,' Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. 'It's Inhumane.'

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy
sheriff who created the tent city and long ago
started making his prisoners wear pink, and
eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit
sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told
all of the inmates: "It's 120 Degrees In Iraq
And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They
Have To Wear Full Battle Gear,
But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes, So
Shut Your Mouths!'

Way To Go, Sheriff!
