And Speaking of Soon-To-Be-Ex-Congressman Dave Recihert

Published by Aurelius under Elections

Below is the canned (I assume, please correct me if I am wrong) email I received from the Pierce County GOP, concerning Reichert’s Cap and Tax vote (on Jun 29):

Thank you for your email regarding Congressman Reichert’s vote on the Cap & Trade legislation.


The passion that everyone is expressing is the grass roots of our political system and it’s good to see so many people involved.

I will be delivering all of your emails this Wednesday to the Congressman!

Please stay in touch with the County Party and all of your legislators from your school boards, city councils, county councils, state legislature to the congressional folks.  It is our responsibility to keep all of these elected officials informed of our thoughts and concerns.    The ability to communicate so freely is unique to our country and a freedom we need to use responsibly.

On Sarah Palin and the Future

Published by Aurelius under Elections

By now, if you are not aware that Sarah Palin is resigning as Governor of Alaska on July 26, then you simply are not paying attention.

I thought I would let the dust settle a bit, before throwing my 2 cents in. 

I have no doubt that this is a move to accomplish two major goals - The first is to get her family out of the line of fire.

As long as she is an elected politician, the hatemongers in the media and on the left will consider her family open season.

As a private citizen, this will much more difficult for them to both rationalize, and get away with, in the public eye.
