The US Chamber of Commerce is going full bore against HB 800, the Employer Free Choice Act. They are running radio ads against Harry Mitchell, which can be found on the Chamber’s press page.
The ads are over the top, accusing Mitchell of being against the right to vote and the right to privacy. Pretty ridiculous, really. [...]
I caught a bit on KJZZ yesterday about John McCain’s problems with Republican activsts. More accurately, I should say, John McCain’s problems with a vocal minority of Republican activists.
They interviewed Republican District Chair Rob Haney and Republican consultant Stan Barnes. Haney once again reiterated his litany of supposed liberalisms that McCain has engaged in.
Barnes was [...]
Gen. Wesley Clark and Iraq veteran Jon Soltz of VoteVets have unveiled a new website called StopIranWar.com in the hopes of organizing grassroots opposition to a possible (planned?) military action against Iran.
Clark and Soltz have distributed a video describing their effort.
I was poking around on an otherwise liberal blog and saw a blog ad stating that “unions want to take privacy from American workers!” This smacked of the silly campaign that the Arizona Chamber of Commerce ran against the increase in the minimum wage that argued that somehow it would violate people’s privacy.
Lo and behold! [...]
Despite a rumor that was communicated to me by an over enthusiastic source, Clarence Boykins has not yet filed his Statement of Organization at the Clerk’s office.
Everything else I wrote about him is true, I promise.
Today is the last day for unions who wish to represent Pima County employees to file to participate in a yet to be scheduled election. County employees will be asked what union they want representing them, or if they want to be represented by any union at all. Unions that wish to have their names [...]
Word is that Clarence Boykins filed his statement of organization to run in the Democratic primary for Ward 2 yesterday. This allows him to start collecting money and signatures and otherwise cause the sorts of mischief that we expect out of our candidates. The city clerk’s candidate listing still doesn’t reflect this, but it should [...]
Nobody but me remembers this, but I was a candidate for Ward 6 city council for a few days in late 2004. I saw that no one had pulled papers to run against Fred Ronstadt, so I went downtown and pulled them myself. As it turned out, Steve Farley had pulled papers already but for [...]
Way back in nineteen-hundred and eighty-six, I was a volunteer for Richard Kimball, who was running a kamikaze campaign for US Senate against a two term congressman from Phoenix named, um…it’s on the tip of my tongue. Oh yeah, John McCain.
Kimball was a umpteenth generation Arizonan (his ancestors included Mormon pioneer Heber Kimball), and saw [...]
The invitation for a party being thrown by lobbyists for Rep. Jonathan Paton has been making the rounds among politicos.
Lt. Paton served our country ably and honorably and deserves a party. Yep. In fact, all of his fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines deserve one too. Lets bring ‘em all back home so we can throw [...]
