| DON'T LET LEFT WING HOLLYWOOD CONTROL CLARK COUNTY POLITICS | | 10/28/05 |
Clark County Republican Chairman Brent Boger issued the following statement
today:
“We should keep local elections local and not simply be the PAWN IN THE STRATEGY OF A NATIONAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE. We need a Commissioner who will devote his energies to Clark County and NOT SIMPLY SOMEONE IN THE PIPELINE FOR HIGHER OFFICE".
On October 25th and 26th, a Washington, D.C.-based political action committee, Progressive Majority, dumped nearly ...$43,000... in the Clark Commissioner race to oppose Commissioner candidate, Tom Mielke. (See documents on file with the Washington Public Disclosure Commission, www.pdc.wa.gov/scr/InepExp2005.rpt).
The money apparently has been used for push-polls (a campaign technique in which an organization attempts to influence or alter the view of respondents under the guise of conducting a poll) and negative mailing that grossly distorts Tom Mielke’s record.
One hit piece claims that Tom Mielke is for higher taxes. The Columbian reported on October 16, 2005 that Mielke supports Initiative 912, which would
repeal the 9.5-cent phased gas tax increase” while noting that “Stuart has taken flak for opposing the initiative”. Which one of these candidates is for higher taxes?
Mielke has a track record of consistently opposing unnecessary tax hikes and insisting on government accountability including performance audits. Moreover, the hit piece claims that Mielke is heavily Funded by developers................................
Stuart has actually raised more than $100,000 from developers himself. .............................
Progressive Majority is supported almost entirely by individuals from outside Clark County including NORMAN LEAR, BARBARA STREISAND, JANE FONDA AND PLAYBOY MAGAZINE CEO CHRISTIE HEFNER.
(See Documents on file with the Federal
Elections Commission, www.fec.gov). Contributions are especially heavy from California, New York, and Washington, D.C.
Of Progressive Majority’s hundreds or thousands of contributors only about three are from Clark County.
Progressive Majority’s agenda is to build a “farm team” to elect liberal Democratic candidates to office without regard for local needs and concerns.
(See Atlanta Journal-Constitution article dated August 7, 2004 “Liberal Group takes Cue from Gingrich”, and Seattle Weekly article dated April 13, 2005 “A Liberal Minor League: Progressive Majority says Left Needs to Develop a Good Farm System it is to Take Back Congress.”).
Progressive Majority Washington’s
own website says its objective is “to fill the political pipeline with candidates who will continue to seek higher office, and to ensure the vitality and continued growth of the progressive movement for decades to come.”
(http://progressivemajoritywashington.org/about).
Now Progressive Majority has chosen to spend an unprecedented amount of money to distort Tom Mielke’s views and record with negative campaigning.
Boger stated that “Tom has done everything he can to keep this campaign a positive one about relevant Clark County issues. Progressive Majority has no
concern, interest, or knowledge of Clark County issues”. | |
