Thursday, July 10, 2008 It seems the Sheriff fancies himself an author. He is apparently expanding his repertoire that currently includes being an egomaniac that ardently supports racial profiling, human rights violations and fomenting racist violence. The Sheriff's new book is ""Joe's Law: America's Toughest Sheriff Takes on Illegal Immigration, Drugs, and Everything Else That Threatens America." Here's three ideas we thought of to let Sheriff Arpaio know we think about him: 1) You could visit Amazon.com and let potential readers know what you think about Sheriff Joe's entry into the literary world.

Click here to view dates, times and locations Monday, July 7, 2008 We want to congratulate Human Rights Promoter Narciso Soto on becoming a U.S. Citizen on Thursday, July 3rd! Narciso was one of nearly 900 people to be sworn-in in Tucson in time to celebrate this country's independence. Narciso and his family worked very hard to pass the exams and keep up with the paperwork. We hope they can sleep a little more sound at night with one less thing to worry about.

The Summit Human Rights Committee announces a week-long neighborhood cleanup campaign from July 14-21, 2008. After a series of community-wide and individual meetings with Pima County officials and agencies, the County is supporting this and future neighborhood improvement efforts. The neighborhood that the Committee represents is a rural, underserved area between Tucson and Nogales. Residents have attempted to organize for years to demand basic services and resources from the County. The Committee is breaking new ground by building local momentum and bringing the community together. The neighborhood cleanup is the first of many changes on their slate that includes street and speed limit signs; speed humps; flood control, and limiting the sheriff's involvement in immigration enforcement.
