With a heavy heart, I regret to inform you that as a board, we have made a difficult but decisive decision to disinvite Sheriff Joe Arpaio at an event as important as the christening of our new charitable initiative, People Encouraging People.
We would rather absorb the travel and lodging expenses incurred than to continue to support an individual who has reneged on his word and in actions, seems to be driven by profit over the people, especially those who helped him get his Presidential pardon.
We continue to support the Sheriff’s stand on many positions in tough law enforcement, and we, as principled conservatives, apply the same standards to our business dealings. Sheriff Joe is no exception to that rule.
We hope you will still join us on the evening of August 10th as we give more time for a principled Christian man, Harvest Leroy Smith, a top executive at NBC Universal, to shine. However, we understand if you came to see only Sheriff Joe – we will issue a full refund.
Sincerely,
