<p>Independent &#8220;Maverick&#8221; Voters have ability to eliminate Extremism via Prop 121 and voting for Independent Mike Stauffer for Sheriff.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t believe the Maricopa County sheriff&#8217;s office should be a partisan one, and it is time to stop wasting millions of dollars in tax payer dollars due to expensive lawsuits over mysterious deaths.  Mike Stauffer wants to eliminate tent city which is a lawsuit magnet.  He has a plan because currently there are approximately 8000 inmates; yet, we have facilities that will house 10,000 inmates.  <strong>It&#8217;s time to open those VACANT facilities and put them to use. If we can house dogs in sheltered facilities, then we can house human beings, too.</strong></p>
<p>Also, I believe the two major party system has failed Americans with their bickering, fringe groups (like the Tea Party) and partisanship games.</p>
<p>Yesterday we discussed the importance of early voting and the rise of the center via independent voters.</p>

<p>I particularly enjoyed the below opinion from Independent Voters of America and am glad to see them chime in on this key and important national race.</p>

<h1>Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio Challenged by Independent Candidate Mike Stauffer</h1>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Move over Joe Arpaio, there’s an Independent Sheriff candidate in town!</p>
<p>Arizona’s Maricopa County Republican Sheriff Joe Arpaio, best known for his outspoken endorsement of the state’s extreme SB 1070 immigration policy and his <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/sheriff-joe-arpaio-obama-birth-certificate-manufactured-electronically-183700007.html">investigation of President Obama’s citizenship</a>, is being challenged by Independent candidate Mike Stauffer, a former NYPD officer and Scottsdale Police Lieutenant. Two Democratic candidates are also in the race, and one will be the party’s nominee challenging Arpaio and Stauffer after an August primary. Why is it significant that there’s an independent candidate in the race? Because it will offer a thermometer test for the temperature of Arizona’s rapidly growing faction of independent voters, and whether they’ll support Independent candidates for office.  <a href="http://independentvotersofamerica.org/arizona-sheriff-joe-arpaio-challenged-by-independent-candidate-mike-stauffer/">FULL STORY HERE&gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p></blockquote>
