• The County Sheriff: America's Last HopeNovember 17, 2012 - 9:27 pm

  The County Supervisors, everyone in the Sheriffs Dept and all citizens should read this small book....The County Sheriff:America's Last Hope by Richard Mack...From Amazon reviews...This easy to read pamphlet reminds us that the Sheriff is the supreme law enforcement authority in every county or parish of these United States. In it Richard Mack shows irrefutable evidence from case law, common law, the Constitution, and common sense that the People's protector is the ONE they actually elect. The Sheriff promises to serve, to protect, and to defend them from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Sheriffs are the only people who can call the militias (in the truest sense of the word) which is a group of citizen volunteers like the posses, into service for a particular outcome. As such, the Sheriff is the only locally elected official who has the jurisdiction, the authority, and especially the duty to protect the citizens from threatening federal entities or federal agents. The Sheriffs has local sovereignty to uphold the Constitution............. In the case Mack/Prince versus the United States, Justice Scalia told the Federal Government, "The Federal Government may neither issue Federal directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States' Officers or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a Federal regulatory program." So, the question is, does nationalized health care qualify as a Federal regulatory program? The answer is that the States and the local authorities and jurisdictions do NOT have to participate in Obama's nationalized health care program. Such commands are FUNDAMENTALLY incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty................ As for the fiasco in the San Joachin Valley where the Environmental Protection Agency turned off the irrigation canals in order to study the little minnow fish, the Sheriffs of those 25 Counties affected by these regulations would do well to read this short little book. This shutting off of the water has led to 80,000 jobs lost, the loss of half of the fruits, nuts, and vegetables coming from California, and the destruction of countless legal immigrant family farms. Sheriffs and citizens should educate themselves as to what authority and rights they do have by law.
