It is a gross abuse of powers if they sign this into law. No group fires the Sheriff, nor has the authority to interfere with the operations of the office. Elected sheriffs are accountable directly to the constitution of their state, the United States Constitution, statutes, and the citizens of their county.
Itβs challenging to get people to understand how fucking huge it is that the state wants to abolish vote-in sheriffs.
The amount of power being ripped from the people is absurd here.
This needs talked about.
The action the Washington Legislature is trying to take through SB5974 is unconstitutional and dictatorial! @saveoursheriff is fighting against it and the establishment! Support him and his campaign!! https://t.co/HzmEdEHoZw
This letter just went out to all sheriffs and chiefs and the media. This is what happens when you donβt tow the party line. Everyone should read this and ask your sheriff if he supports expulsion for Sheriff Swank.
@saveoursheriff Iβm sure I know where the King County Sheriff stands, sadly. Youβd have my vote if I lived in your county! God Bless You Sheriff Swank!
