Kirkpatrick For Arizona

 Dear Ralph & Westertlypost.com Readers.

The Koch brothers announced they are spending nearly $2 million on false attack ads – and I’m at the top of their list. 
They want this seat badly.  We always knew millions of dollars would be spent by outside extremist groups to unseat me by flooding the airways with lies. This is why I need your help today. We need to raise $5,000 by the end of the weekend for our Rapid Response Fund. Can you chip in $10 or more today?

The Koch brothers have no business meddling in District One. Their focus on Arizona will only open the floodgates for more shady cash spent on false attack ads. Your contribution of $10 or more to our Rapid Response Fund will be put directly to work against these types of attacks.
>>> Rush your contribution now so we can fight back!

We are going to see a barrage of attack ads just like these over the next year, and it’s not going to be easy. But with supporters like you, I’m confident we can fight back. 

Thanks for all you do!
Sincerely,
Ann Kirkpatrick

P.S. Meeting our $5,000 goal is essential for us to stay on track. Can you contribute $10 to make sure we get there?

Open Letter to the Voters of the Eureka City School District

October 31, 2013 by Leave a Comment

From: Bob Service, Chair, Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee

Linda Atkins, Chair, Campaign Services Committee
 
Here we go again. Lisa Ollivier is the Democratic Party endorsed candidate for Eureka School Board. She has the momentum and her opponent’s supporters are so desperate that they are calling voters saying that the opponent is the Democratic candidate. 
 
This is a lie! Lisa Ollivier is the Democratic candidate and the only Democrat in this race. These kinds of dirty tricks come straight out of the Karl Rove playbook and should have no place in American politics let alone in a school board race. Lisa’s opponent should be held accountable.
 
Please, if you vote absentee and haven’t yet sent in your ballot, send it in now with a vote for Lisa Ollivier. If you vote at the polls, please take a few minutes out of your day on November 5th and vote for Lisa Ollivier. 
 
Let’s show them Eureka voters are too smart to fall for this dirty trick. Vote Ollivier!

UCSD MEN’S BASKETBALL PREDICTED TO PLACE 11th IN CCAA

LA JOLLA, Calif. – The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) released its annual men’s basketball preseason coaches poll Wednesday and UC San Diego is predicted to finish 11th in the league’s regular season standings.

Cal State San Bernardino garnered 115 points and six first-place votes to take the top spot in the poll. Cal Poly Pomona, last season’s regular season champion, was just behind in second place with 112 points and the remaining six first-place votes. San Francisco State amassed 92 points to round out the league’s top three.

Chico State (91 points) was fourth, Cal State Dominguez Hills (86 points) fifth, Cal State L.A. (75 points) sixth, Sonoma State (60 points) seventh, Humboldt State (48 points) eighth, Cal State Stanislaus (40 points) ninth and Cal State East Bay (32 points) 10th.

The Tritons, who finished seventh in the CCAA last year, totaled 24 points for 11th place. Cal State Monterey Bay (17 points) was 12th.

Last season, UCSD compiled an 11-15 overall record and a 10-12 conference mark. The Tritons earned a berth in the CCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009.

First-year UCSD head coach Eric Olen returns a pair of starters in senior guard James McCann and sophomore forward Drew Dyer. McCann earned All-CCAA Second Team accolades last season after averaging 13.6 points and a team-best 4.8 assists per game. His assist average was the second-highest in the league. Dyer averaged 9.3 points and 5.2 boards a game and hit 41 three-pointers, the second-most on the team.

Lost to graduation were guard Tyler McGrath and forward Justin Brue. McGrath, also an All-CCAA Second Team selection, led UCSD in scoring, averaging 14.7 points per game. He made a team-high 52 three-pointers and led the conference in free-throw percentage (.888). Brue was the Tritons’ top rebounder (7.0/game) and shot blocker (1.0/game), while also scoring 10.7 points a game.

Last week, the Tritons played an exhibition at Pitt, which is expected to finish sixth in the uber-competitive, 15-team Atlantic Coast Conference this season. The game was tied at 49-49 with 7:46 remaining and UCSD trailed by only two points with just over four minutes left. The Panthers picked it up late and went on to win by a score of 72-59. McCann and senior MacKenzie McCullough each finished with 13 points.

UCSD plays a second and final exhibition at Grand Canyon on Nov. 1, before opening its regular season at home against Daemen College on Nov. 15.

Unbelievable: Chuck Todd says debunking GOP lies isn’t his job

September 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment

What’s Up With Chuck? 
Ralph, in an outrageous affirmation of “he said, she said” journalism, NBC News’s chief White House correspondent and MSNBC host Chuck Todd said that it’s not the media’s job to report the facts or debunk right-wing spin about Obamacare.Sign the petition to tell Chuck Todd: Journalists are not stenographers. The news media should report the facts.

On “Morning Joe,” Todd made the following remark about Americans’ perceptions about Obamacare:

“But more importantly, [Americans would repeat] stuff that Republicans have successfully messaged against [Obamacare.] They don’t repeat the other stuff because they haven’t even heard the Democratic message. What I always love is people say, ‘Well, it’s you folks’ fault in the media.’ No, it’s the President of the United States’ fault for not selling it.”

Chuck Todd seems to think that “reporting the news” is nothing more than “Democrat said X, Republican said Y.”

The news media is supposed to separate truth from spin and report the facts to the American people.

Tell Chuck Todd: It is your job to report the facts, not “he said, she said” lies and spin.

Keep fighting,

Amazing: People power beating the NRA in Colorado

September 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment

This is it, Ralph. Tuesday is election day in the NRA recalls of two Colorado Democrats and both races are neck-and-neck. Can you chip in $3 to Democrats John Morse and Angela Giron, the two Democrats targeted by the NRA, to help the get out the vote in these final two days?

The NRA pushed for these recalls. They flooded these races with big money attack ads, kicking in $350,000 according to their last spending report. They said that winning in Colorado would cause a “wave of fear” to wash across state legislatures nationwide—paralyzing any new gun laws at the state level.

But then something amazing happened. The Daily Kos community stepped up and, with the help of 12,906 contributors nationwide, we’ve almost matched the NRA dollar-for-dollar in these races.

Democrats are leading three-to-one in the early voting period, but election day turnout is expected to be anemic and both campaigns are getting ready to make their final get out the vote expenditures. Simply put, these elections could come down to just a few votes on either side.

Help beat the NRA in their own recalls: Chip in $3 right now.

Keep fighting,
Michael Langenmayr
Campaign Director, Daily Kos

P.S. We have a chance to beat the NRA’s big moneyed attacks with two people-powered campaigns. We can send a message that America is ready for common sense gun legislation—and we’re not afraid of the NRA anymore. So please chip in $3 now.
