Should Pima County Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik be recalled?

This Sheriff is using this unspeakable tragedy to further his own political agenda. This is clearly a misuse of his office.

He is deliberately misleading the general public as to the cause and nature of yesterday’s attack and is, by his own words, furthering the climate of hatred, vitriol and violence by this obscene falsehood.

He is unworthy of his office.

ARTICLE VIII. REMOVAL FROM OFFICE

PART 1. RECALL OF PUBLIC OFFICERS

§ 1. Officers subject to recall; petitioners
Section 1. Every public officer in the state
of Arizona, holding an elective office, either by
election or appointment, is subject to recall from
such office by the qualified electors of the
electoral district from which candidates are
elected to such office. Such electoral district may
include the whole state. Such number of said
electors as shall equal twenty-five per centum of
the number of votes cast at the last preceding
general election for all of the candidates for the
office held by such officer, may by petition, which
shall be known as a recall petition, demand his
recall.

§ 2. Recall petitions; contents; filing;
signatures; oath
Section 2. Every recall petition must
contain a general statement, in not more than
two hundred words, of the grounds of such
demand, and must be filed in the office in which
petitions for nominations to the office held by the
incumbent are required to be filed. The
signatures to such recall petition need not all be
on the one sheet of paper, but each signer must
add to his signature the date of his signing said
petition, and his place of residence, giving his
street and number, if any, should he reside in a
town or city. One of the signers of each sheet of
such petition, or the person circulating such
sheet, must make and subscribe an oath on said
sheet, that the signatures thereon are genuine.
