A protest against Arizona’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Gov. Jan Brewer
organized by transplanted attorney-activist Randy Parraz yielded exactly
one protestor today as the state legislature met in Phoenix to begin
its 2012 regular session.
“Join Citizens for a Better Arizona as we send a message to our Governor and legislators that the Russell Pearce brand of divisive and extremist politics is over,” Parraz posted on his Facebook page, calling for protestors to join him at the state capitol Monday morning. Pearce was the state Senate president and Arpaio ally on immigration recalled last year in a campaign led by Parraz.
Observers on the scene reported Parraz’s group had a permit to assemble, and some 50 Arizona State Police were there.
The lone Parraz supporter, however, was outnumbered by some 50 counter-protesters carrying signs in favor of Arpaio and Brewer, including several who identified themselves as tea party members and a Hispanic supporter of legal immigration.
