Sheriff Richard Mack (Ret)
Sheriff Mack: lawman, detective, undercover narcotics agent, author, consultant, activist, motivational speaker, and crusader for liberty, has had a very storied career. Mack is the son of an FBI agent and began his own law enforcement career as a street cop in Provo, Utah. After graduating from BYU in 1978, Mack became an officer with Provo P. D. He was soon promoted to corporal, sergeant, and detective. Eleven years later Mack moved home to Arizona where he ran for sheriff. He was elected Graham County Sheriff and served as such for eight years. In 1994 federal agents informed all sheriffs that they would be required to participate in a gun control scheme known as the Brady Bill. Mack refused and became the first sheriff in American history to sue the Federal Government and win a landmark case at the U S Supreme Court. Sheriff Mack's case was based on the Tenth Amendment, States Rights and local sovereignty.
Since that ruling Mack has written seven books and appeared at over 120 Tea Party rallies nationwide. Sheriff Mack has fought for civil rights from Hawaii to Bangor, Maine and has now traveled to all 50 states in his battle for liberty. He is the Founder and President of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) and on the Board of Directors for Oath Keepers.
Some of Sheriff Mack's honors and awards include: Samuel Adams Leadership Award (Local Sovereignty Coalition), Elected Official of the Year 1994 (NM/AZ Coalition of Counties), "Cicero" Award (Firearms Industry of America), inducted into the NRA Hall of Fame, and is the only person in American history to receive the highest honors for public officials from The Second Amendment Foundation, Gun Owners of America, and the NRA. Numerous Tea Party groups have named Mack "America's Sheriff" and the Washington Second Amendment March in 2010 gave him the "American Patriot" award. He also received the "Heroes Don't Wear Capes" Award from the San Marcos (Texas) Area Republicans (SMART).
Sheriff Mack was a regular guest on Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano and has appeared on CNN, Court TV, Nightline, Hardball, Univision, Telemundo, Russia Today, Good Morning America, FOX News, Showtime's American Candidate, and over 1500 radio shows worldwide.

Tonya Benson
Tonya Benson became part of CSPOA's staff in 2011 when Sheriff Richard Mack moved to Texas. Sheriff Mack and Tonya met in 2009 during his visit to Fredericksburg, Texas and once she heard him speak, she knew right away she wanted to be involved with what he was doing. She got copies of his books and read them and began to share the message of the County Sheriff. Tonya helped coordinate and arrange the first CSPOA law enforcement seminar in the Texas Hill Country. Tonya has been involved in coordinating the CSPOA conferences and has attended all of them. Recently she helped redesign the new CSPOA brochure.
She considers herself a political activist and works at local, state & national levels. Tonya has worked the polls on Election Day as bilingual interpreter since 2007. Tonya has been a delegate to the Texas Republican Party State Convention since 2008. The Revolutionary War Veterans Association is another organization where Tonya volunteers and she established their marksmanship and heritage program, the Appleseed Project in Fredericksburg, Texas five years ago. She has been known to attend numerous rallies, marches & gatherings protesting the infringement of our Bill of Rights and the out-of-control federal government. Most recently, she attended the historical Come & Take It Gun Rally held at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas where over 500 attended carrying long rifles, including Tonya with her AR15 to remind that it is legal in Texas to open carry long rifles.
If you asked her why she does what she does, she will tell you it is because she has an amazing college-age son who she wants to see live in a free country and enjoy the liberties and freedoms of the Constitutional Republic that our founders gave us. Her concern is for the next generation, our children & grandchildren and the legacy we are going to leave to them. As a nation, she thinks we have failed to be vigilant and take care to preserve our heritage of sovereignty and liberty. She considers that we are at a crossroads, at a tipping point in history when we must choose to take our country back or lose it.
Tonya believes that CSPOA and constitutional sheriffs and peace officers with the leadership of Sheriff Mack, is America's best hope and offers a peaceful solution to getting America back and restoring our Constitutional Republic.
