Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and friends. Because of the holiday, you will not receive our regular Friday message next week.

Thank you
Dear American Lawman Members,
We have fought the good fight and although victory was not ours, we must remember what this campaign was all about – standing tall for truth and justice.
Truth and justice did not win, but do not lose heart. In time, what is right will finally win over what is wrong. It didn’t come in the form we wanted to, but it will happen because good people like you who value what America represents will ensure that it does.
Thank you all for your tremendous support and enthusiasm on the campaign. We all worked hard and everyone should be proud.
Always remember that a true American Lawman is a guardian of the people and a protector of your liberties. Carry on with that message and one day in Maricopa County the bells of freedom will ring.
God Bless each of you,
Dan Saban

Poll of Newly Registered Voters Shows Saban in Lead
Phone survey includes voters registered since 2004 election, cellphone users
In striking contradiction to an earlier ASU/Cronkite poll of “likely voters,” a new poll of “newly registered voters” shows that Dan Saban holds a commanding lead in the race for Maricopa County Sheriff among this group. The ASU poll did not include any of the 487,108 voters who have registered since the November 2004 Sheriff’s race. These newly registered voters make up 28 percent of Maricopa County’s voting population.
In a telephone survey conducted October 24-30, 54 percent of newly registered voters preferred Dan Saban over the Republican incumbent. 31.7 percent said they would vote for Arpaio, and 14.3 percent were still undecided. The telephone survey of 454 “newly registered voters,” conducted for the Saban for Sheriff campaign, asked respondents: “If the election for Maricopa County Sheriff were held today, for whom would you vote: Dan Saban, Joe Arpaio, or are you undecided?”
This is in almost direct contradiction to the ASU poll because the methodologies used were different. The ASU poll did not include people who used a cellphone as their primary telephone. According to Bruce Merrill of the ASU/Cronkite poll, that group accounts for between 20-30 percent of telephone users. This group also tends to be younger than land-line users.
Both polls surveyed Republicans, Democrats and Independents based on their percentage of the voting population, but the ratios are different from when “likely” voters voted in 2004. Then the percentage of Republicans was higher in the voting population. The ratios among “newly registered” voters are completely different, with Democrats making up 29.7 percent, Republicans 29.4 percent, “Others” 40 percent, and Greens and Libertarians combining for .007 percent. The poll’s margin of error is +/-4.6 percent.

Happy Halloween Saban Supporters
In the last few days of our campaign, I want to thank you for the time, energy and resources you’ve invested in giving me the opportunity to become Sheriff of Maricopa County. Through thick and thin, you’ve been behind me, giving me encouragement when the attacks got personal, and keeping your friends and family informed with the truth when the lies got ugly. You’ve been a great inspiration to me, and you will always hold a special place in my heart.
The election will soon be upon us, and I’ve thought long and hard about how to get the most out of the last few days of this campaign. Some of you have suggested we buy TV time, but that’s expensive. Some said I should get an auto-dialer to robo-call every home in the County, but I hate having my dinner interrupted by politicians’ recorded messages, and I’ll bet you do, too.
Others want me to hold a great big rally, maybe at Sun Devil Stadium, US Airways Arena or Wesley Bolin Plaza, but not everyone would be able to attend on short notice. Besides, with the price of gas, who wants to drive anywhere? So, after rejecting all these ideas, I’ve come up with a plan I hope you will support.
I’ve decided to throw Arizona’s largest “VIRTUAL SABAN RALLY.”
Yes, from the comfort of your computer you can join thousands of other Dan Saban supporters in one last big “Get Out The Vote” rally before Election Day. Here’s how you can help.
Tomorrow morning, I’ll send you an email with a simple campaign message. I’ll attach a couple of our campaign radio commercials. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to forward my email message to at least five friends.
Include a personal note along with my message so your email contacts won’t think its spam. Tell your friends why you’re voting for me (or why you’re voting against the other guy). Ask them to vote for Dan Saban, and ask them to forward my message to at least five of THEIR friends.
With you telling five friends, and your friends telling five friends, and your friends’ five friends telling five more friends, soon this will build into a giant VIRTUAL SABAN RALLY, and together, it’ll include thousands of people all over the County.
Forecasters and our own internal pollsters’ think this will be a much closer race than some “experts” predict, so every friend you can turn into a Saban voter will make a huge difference. So be a part of Maricopa County history. Help us get our message to everyone.
Be watching your email box tomorrow, and be thinking of the five people you’d like to invite to our VIRTUAL SABAN RALLY. You can be the deciding factor in this election, and I’d love to have your help. I’ll contact you tomorrow!
Good health.

CENTRAL HIGH HOSTS STUDENT VOTER OUTREACH EVENT
Central High School, 4525 North Central, Phoenix, Arizona 85012, is proud to welcome Vote 18 on Friday, October 31, from 10:00 am to noon. Two classes will be held in the Auditorium, the first from 10:00 to 10:45, the second from 10:50 to 11:35. The event will raise awareness of the upcoming election; emphasize the importance of civic engagement and the importance of voting in the November election. Vote 18 is an organization that works with high school students to increase political awareness, promote dialogue and encourage today’s young people to become life-long voters and community leaders.
Vote 18 is honored to work with State Representatives Chad Campbell, David Lujan and Steve Gallardo to bring this program to the Phoenix Union High School District. Lujan and Gallardo both serve as members on the PUHSD Governing Board. “Partnering with elected officials who are dedicated to increasing the number of Arizona’s youth who vote is critical to our outreach effort” said Vote 18 co-founder and Executive Director Marco Ceglie. “Our mission is to energize young Americans to become lifelong voters and engaged citizens.” Working with the students of Central High, Vote 18 will help increase the numbers of Arizona’s youth who vote and who are civically engaged in their community.
“I am excited to have our students take part in this important voter outreach event,” said Chris Jones, Central High School Principal. “It is important for our students to understand the value of their vote and to make their voices heard at the ballot box.”
In 2004, young people aged 18-24 voted at a lower rate than any other age group, with 42% turning out to the polls compared to almost 60% for every other age demographic. Vote 18 works to reverse this trend by making civics come alive in the classroom by leading an interactive class discussion to inspire young Americans to become civically involved lifelong voters. Vote 18 is strictly non-partisan, does not endorse or support any candidate or issue and is provided to schools free of charge.
The teachers and administrators from the Phoenix Union High School District have provided a tremendous opportunity for Vote 18” said Vote 18 co-founder and Executive Director Marco Ceglie.“ They are committed to opening up opportunities for their students and encouraging civic participation.”
The Vote 18 program has been taught in 18 states to over 15,000 students. The Phoenix event is one stop on Vote 18: Road Trip USA!, a 3-month, 16-state tour that will bring Vote 18 to classrooms across the country. Vote 18’s goal is to not only register young people to vote for the upcoming election, but to teach them the value of their vote so they become empowered, engaged life-long voters.
Vote 18 is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization and is available to schools free of charge.
All guests and media must check in with the administration office prior to entering the campus.

SHERIFF HIRES D.C. ROBOCALL FIRM TO SMEAR DAN SABAN
Saban tells Valley, ‘Don’t believe the Robo-Liars’
Robocalls originating from Washington D.C. on behalf of Joe Arpaio continue his strategy of smearing the name of Dan Saban. Telephone users across the Valley have received recorded messages with the voices of Joe Arpaio and Dennis DeConcini, making claims that the Saban campaign calls, “completely untrue and unfounded.”
One 60-second call claims that Saban “will close Tent City, coddle inmates, eliminate chain gangs and even ignore state laws that combat illegal immigration.” In fact, Dan Saban has never made any such statements. A woman’s voice on the call also claims that Saban would cause “hundreds of millions of dollars in new taxes,” which Dan Saban called “absurdly false hyperbole.”
“Arpaio has hired a Washington D.C. swiftboat firm when he still hasn’t come clean about the funding of his last TV smear ad campaign,” said Saban. “Research shows that voters and media are rejecting negative advertising this year, and I hope they will see Arpaio’s tactics as below the belt. I have categorically supported the use of the tents, and I will bring in even tougher immigration enforcement efforts, going after real criminal aliens, not just janitors.”
Saban said he will eliminate unconstitutional housing and treatment of detainees and prisoners, and work to Arpaio’s policies that bring a never-ending stream of negligence lawsuits. Over his 16-year tenure, Arpaio’s mismanagement of the County jails has cost taxpayers more than $43 million in lawsuit payouts, settlements and attorneys’ fees. His chronic understaffing in the jails has resulted in more than 60 deaths—many of detainees awaiting trial—in the last three years alone. Last week, a federal court found conditions in Arpaio’s jails in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
“When you can’t talk about your own record, and when you’ve been caught lying in public, you get even sneakier. You’re more or less forced to resort to smear phone calls,” Saban said. “I want everyone to know that I will be a more honest sheriff, a fairer sheriff and a better sheriff than that little voice on your phone. I call on Joe Arpaio to halt this fraudulent robo-lying immediately and stop smearing me once and for all.”

Dan Saban – American Lawman
With 10 days left until Election Day, the pattern of abuse of power and mismanagement by my opponent has become even more evident. A judge ruled his jails are un-Constitutional and violate people’s rights, he’s trying to cover up the recent jail murder by keeping public information private until after the election, and he maintains a special enforcement team that recently has been exposed to having ties with a smear campaign against me.
My plan as Sheriff will be to open up government so that you know what’s going on. The obligations of law enforcement and the power they hold is vital to our Democracy and keeping the peace, but in the wrong hands it can be devastating to our way of life as we have all witnessed these past 16 years.
I’ll end the abuse of power from Day One and return the Office to you because a lawman is a guardian of the community and a protector of freedoms. That’s what it means to enforce all the laws to keep you safe and protect your rights.
Polling Data
We’re working hard and we’re gaining ground, recent polling data shows that we’re even with 11% undecided. We can achieve victory by winning the undecided votes and we’ll do this by continuing our aggressive radio advertising – you can help us reach the $5000 goal with a small donation of $10, $25 or $50. http://www.sabanforsheriff.com/2008/donate.html.

Keeping you safe. Protecting your rights.
Dear American Lawman Members,
We have 17 days to go and things are moving fast as you’ve seen from the series of news stories this past week. Now more than ever the public can see the need for change.
Midnight raids, negligent jail deaths, high costs to taxpayers due to mismanagement, and lies are unacceptable.
Having strong bi-partisan support from Attorney General Terry Goddard, Rick Romley and every major law enforcement organization including the Maricopa County Deputies Association has given me the professional endorsement that my plans for the Sheriff’s Office will serve your best interests in public safety.
This campaign started in full force back in January and my goal has always been to stand tall for truth and justice and represent you in this fight for what is right. Keep up the fight with me to restore values and integrity in the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
Good health,
Dan Saban

Dan Saban – American Lawman
Dear American Lawman Members,
Our American Lawman, Dan Saban has been hard at work this past week. With 24 days to go Dan is campaigning hard everyday supported by a tremendous team of volunteers.
As many of you know Dan was endorsed by the Arizona Republic, this week he was endorsed by the West Valley View. Calling Dan a man of courage, integrity and professionalism they informed their readership that it’s time to elect Dan Saban our next Sheriff.
Read more here:
http://www.westvalleyview.com/main.asp?SectionID=6&SubSectionID=2&ArticleID=32619
The Campaign started running radio commercials last Monday on KFYI, KTAR, KPHX, KOY, KESZ, KNIX, KOOL, KMLE and KZON. On Thursday we changed the ad to highlight Dan’s endorsements. The new ad talks about the endorsements from the various law enforcement agencies, newspapers, as well as being endorsed by Rick Romley.
Speaking of spending money if any of you can reach back into your pocket, one more time, and donate to the campaign it would certainly help. The first week of radio cost the campaign $22,000.00. We had to back off the amount of ads for this coming week in an effort to “stretch out our funds to make t through the month.”
Please encourage friends, relatives, and next door neighbors as well to donate.
Any amount, no matter how small will help, here is the link: http://www.sabanforsheriff.com/2008/donate.html.
If you have the time, give the campaign a call at (602)390-3136 and volunteer. We have things to do like phone-banking and neighborhood walks. Join us!

Dan Saban – American Lawman
By now you know that Arpaio has launched a smear campaign against Dan Saban. We expect more of the same in the coming days. Arpaio’s attempts to disparage Saban’s reputation are cowardly. His lies are malicious but fall into the same pattern we’ve seen from years of his tactics: he makes up stories to draw your attention away from his failures.
The truth about Arpaio is that he thinks he’s above the law and he’s proven it with how he operates. We do not want a police state in Maricopa County.
Dan Saban’s experience and qualities have earned him a stellar 32 year career and the endorsements of the Arizona Police Association, the Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs, the Maricopa County Deputies Association, the Arizona Highway Patrol Association, the Fraternal Order of Police, and other law enforcement agencies around the Valley such as Goodyear, Peoria, Tempe, Chandler, Avondale, Glendale, Surprise, Scottsdale, and Mesa.
Dan Saban is more than “fit” to be our Sheriff.

Saban for Sheriff Campaign Outraises Arpaio
Challenger’s campaign gaining steam, new funding
Momentum in the County Sheriff’s race continues to shift from the incumbent to the challenger, as the campaign of Dan Saban recorded more contributions than Joe Arpaio in the most recent campaign finance reports filed with the County Recorder’s Office. According to information available through the County Recorder’s Web site, between August 14- September 22, the Saban campaign logged a total of $21,713.61 to Arpaio’s $16,102.51.
Saban campaign manager Bill Perry says the fundraising edge shows more people are backing Dan Saban as the election gets closer. “This is the second straight reporting period that Dan Saban has raised more money than Joe Arpaio,” said Perry. “With Arpaio’s popularity dropping in the opinion polls, and our campaign raising more money, we’re in a great position to defeat this entrenched incumbent and return accountability to the Sheriff’s Office.”
While Arpaio still holds a massive campaign war chest advantage, there is strong evidence that the race is tightening and momentum is shifting. A big factor has been the negative advertising Arpaio has been running, using discredited allegations and deceptive editing to smear Dan Saban. Since Arpaio’s ads began running Tuesday September 30, Saban has received more than $6,000 in campaign contributions.
“Rather than debate me, Joe Arpaio has tried to smear my good name, but voters are seeing through the bullying and dirty tactics,” said Dan Saban. “We fully expect Arpaio to continue his campaign of lies and deceit even though it appears to be backfiring on him. He’s behaving so desperately voters can smell it.”
Yesterday morning, County Republican Chairman Randy Pullen stopped airing the first salacious Arpaio ad, and apologized that the ads were offensive. By afternoon, Pullen had changed his story, telling a talk radio station that the first ad had done its job and that similar attack ads were on the way.
“Yesterday, we released a log of Arpaio’s four-year harassment campaign against Dan, so this is nothing new,” said Perry.” None of Arpaio’s phony charges has stuck, and in fact, they are driving decent people from the Arpaio camp. Our fundraising advantage bears that out.”
“I expect Joe Arpaio to arrest me or my wife on false charges, find former colleagues who will denounce me, or blame me for global warming,” said Saban. “He can’t run on his record or debate me because he has done a lousy job. All he can do is attack.”

Maricopa County's little-known...
Maricopa County's little-known $457 MILLION secret
That's the 2009 budget for Maricopa County's public health care system.
Maricopa County Special Health Care District 3
1. Maricopa Integrated Health System's (MIHS) CEO currently makes $375,000 -- nearly 4 times what the Governor makes. No one on the public payroll should make 4 times what the Governor makes. Grossly excessive compensations are a waste of taxpayer dollars and MUST STOP NOW.
2. The Health Care District's operating expenses are $61,543,112 over budget for 2008. MIHS executives must be held accountable for such results, as well as for poor record-keeping and quality standards that have jeopardized JCAHO accreditation and led to calls for in-depth audit.
3. MIHS's CEO and some Board members want to build a new medical center to replace the existing one - at a cost estimated in February 2007 to be about $600 MILLION. This could double the property taxes taxpayers pay to the Health Care District. Do the majority of taxpayers want significantly increased property taxes to pay for a new "charity" hospital?
4. MIHS's lobbying contracts have set records by outspending virtually all comparable hospitals in the state. This is just one example of gigantic waste and fiscal irresponsibility that must be eliminated.
5. When the voters approved the ballot measure that created the Maricopa County Special Health Care District (MCSHCD), it was with the clear intent that the Board be comprised of CITIZENS, not career politicians and bureaucrats. I have the perfect mix of health care education/training/experience, 4 years of political experience in the State Legislature including the Health Committee, precinct and grass-roots level activism, and business acumen with an MBA to complement my being a wife (of a doctor), mother, nurse, taxpayer, and citizen of this county, to fulfill the voters' intent.
6. Being "an effective financial steward of resources" is as important and noble a part of MIHS's Vision Statement as being "a preferred health care provider available to all of the people in Maricopa County." Most special taxing districts in Arizona have a 10-year sunset-review provision, but MCSHCD's is 20 years. This means that no one – not the voters, the governor, the attorney general, the county supervisors, no one – can stop this board from raising your property taxes for another 16 years. So it is especially important that this Board be comprised of fiscally responsible financial stewards of resources.
7. I have signed a pledge not to increase taxes. If you don't want the Health Care District to raise your property taxes but do want to reduce excessive executive salaries to a sane level, stop the practice of using money that is supposed to provide care for the indigent but is being spent on lobbying contracts, eliminate waste, and hold executives accountable, you need to vote for Colette Rosati for Maricopa County Special Health Care District Board, District 3.

Dan Saban calls Sheriff corrupt...
Dan Saban calls Sheriff Corrupt, Evil and a Lying Coward
Saban was molested as a child at the hands of his adopted mother, a fact his opponent is twisting and distorting in a despicable new campaign ad.
News conference to address the lies being spread in TV ads paid for by the Arizona Republican Party and the Joe Arpaio campaign. The new TV ads use lies about Dan Saban’s experiences as a molested child. Dan Saban has taken a polygraph tests proving he has been truthful, yet Arpaio continues to distort the facts, blaming Saban for the abuse he suffered.
Dan Saban has overcome a difficult past to make something of himself, and has enjoyed a 32-year career as a law enforcement professional. He believes Joe Arpaio is resorting to lies about a 36-year-old incident to distract the media from his dismal record as Maricopa County Sheriff. Saban believes Arpaio must be accountable for the budget he wastes, the lawsuits he loses, the rights he tramples, the county islands he ignores, the intimidation he exacts, the jails he mismanages, the deputies he endangers, the bloated administration he carries, the dirty tricks he plays and the improper relations he has curried with local media.

Maricopa County Community College Board
Did you know that you had a Community College Board with property taxing authority, and if so did you know who your Board members were?
One of my goals once I am a Board Member of the Maricopa County Community College Board is to bring to bear private business market value to determining the pay scales and value of all that work for or on the Community College payroll. There has never been a study done to find out what each of these positions should be being paid and how the current system compares. I want to bring the market to the system. I also want to put the entire budget on the internet and hold meetings with different groups to make sure that all of the decisions are sound and based on many different focus groups and experience.
Can I be your ambassador to the system?
What questions do you have?
