Sheriff Richard Mack Endorses US Senate Candidate Rob Taylor

A new press release:

Cumberland, WI (August 30, 2010) — Nationally acclaimed liberty fighter, writer and teacher of the U.S. Constitution, Sheriff Richard Mack (Ret), has endorsed Rob Taylor for U.S. Senate. Sheriff Mack is the former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, who sued the Clinton administration during the mid-90s over the Brady Bill. He is currently trying to educate sheriffs nation-wide about their powers to protect their constituents from abuse by the federal government. His new book, “The County Sheriff: America’s Last Hope,” is about that very thing.

Sheriff Richard Mack is an Author/speaker and has served in a wide variety of roles over the course of his nearly twenty year career in law enforcement. After nearly 11 years at Provo PD, Mack decided to return to his childhood turf in Arizona and run for Graham County Sheriff. His campaign took off and he was elected in 1988. He was sheriff for two terms until 1997. He was named, “Elected Official of the Year,” by the Arizona-New Mexico Coalition of Counties in 1994. He received the NRA, “Law Officer of the Year,” award and was inducted into the NRA Hall of Fame. He received the 1995 Cicero Award, Samuel Adams, “Leadership Award,” from the Local Sovereignty Coalition, and the Gun Owners of America, “Defender of the Second Amendment Award.” During his tenure, federal officers informed the sheriffs of the state that they would be required to enforce the so-called “Brady Bill” and run background checks at their own expense. In 1994, Mack and six other sheriffs from across the country, challenged the constitutionality of the Brady Bill and ultimately, fought it all the way to the United States Supreme Court, where they won a monumental decision for freedom. Three years later, in a landmark 5-4 split decision based on the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Mack won his case.

In a letter to Campaign officials he writes:
“It gives me great pleasure to offer my endorsement to Rob Taylor for U S Senator from Wisconsin. Rob is truly the real Tea Party candidate. He knows and understands American idealism and he’s dedicated to the principles of our Constitution. Why compromise your vote by voting for a mainstream politician who has a history of providing no benefit to the people or to our country. It’s time to turn away from mainstream political correctness. Wisconsin has the opportunity to do just that by voting for Rob Taylor; the best candidate for U S Senator.
Sheriff Richard Mack (Ret)”

Candidate Taylor responded to the endorsement by saying:
“In the many speeches, I have given over the past year and half on the campaign trail, I tell the public the most important candidate they need to look at are their sheriffs. I hold Sheriff Mack’s beliefs in the Constitution as I am a big supporter of the 2nd and the 10th amendments. I could not think of a better qualified person to receive an endorsement from. I am both honored and so humbled to have his name on our campaign.”
