Incoming hit piece against Rue Furch
The bizarre "secret agent dossier" attack mailer from the Carrillo campaign apparently didn’t do the trick. Yesterday we were notified of an Independent Expenditure for a mailing against Rue with a cost of $20,000. So we decided to take the approach of tracking down the source.
The "group" behind it is called Citizens for Transportation Funding,
whatever that means. The real person behind it is a local attorney
named Robert Bone. In the spring Primary election, he maxed out his donations in support of Sharon Wright. Going back a little farther shows a pattern of endorsing Bosco candidates. But it gets worse.
For a real over-the-top misfit with the west county, Mr. Bone is a persistent supporter of James Inhofe, Republican Senator from Oklahoma. Mr. Inhofe was the Chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Inhofe is infamous for denying climate change and greenhouse gas impacts, calling it the "most media-hyped environmental issue of all time...", and called Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" one of "slickest science propaganda films of all time",
A few other Inhofe items courtesy of Google and Wikipedia, the great "levelers" in access to information.
In a 2006 interview with the Tulsa World newspaper, Inhofe said regarding the environmentalist movement, "It kind of reminds... I could use the Third Reich, the Big Lie... You say something over and over and over and over again, and people will believe it, and that's their [the environmentalists'] strategy.
(Inhofe) had also made allegations that the Weather Channel is behind the alleged global warming hoax, so as to attract viewers. Inhofe had previously claimed that Global Warming is "the second-largest hoax ever played on the American people, after the separation of church and state.
Relative to the torture of prisoners at Abu Graib, Senator Inhofe commented, “.. he was more outraged by the outrage than by the treatment of the prisoners. After all, he said, they were probably guilty of something.”
He is also a supporter of a US Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage.
So that is the kind of candidate that Robert Bone wants in public office. Mr. Bone really wants to keep Jim Inhofe in the US Senate and spent lots of money to do it. And he really wants to keep Rue Furch off the Board of Supervisors and is spending a lot of someone's money to do that. Draw your own conclusions, both on the frontman for the hit piece and the reliability of the "facts" he presents.
And a notable local race that also drew the support of Mr. Bone is his maxing out his contributions in support of Mike Martini’s attempt to oust Lynn Woolsey in the primary of 2002. He was in interesting company, that included Mead Clark, Ross Liscum, Larry Wasem (Airport Boulevard Industrial Park), Standard Structures, Kimco Construction, Ghilotti Brothers, Christopherson Homes, Condiotti Homes, Pinnacle Homes and on and on...
So now Mr. Bone is dedicated to stopping Rue and electing Efren, in one 11th hour spasm.
So when the mail piece arrives, remember that the opposition has already shown they are prepared to say anything and do anything to stop Rue.
Remember they offer anonymous web sites, anonymous push polls, and all the rest.
Remember the benefactors of an Efren win are the same crowd that want Sharon Wright in, and wanted Lynn Woolsey out.
Elect Rue Furch for Fifth District Supervisor.

No, but Veronica Jacobi and Ernie Carpenter are running to ensure that Efren"F*** the Environment" Carrillo is simply a one-term mistake. Hopefully, this time, the election can't be bought and paid for by big business, who will then own Efren and his loyalty.

Re: Incoming Hit Piece Against Rue Furch
Beverly revived an old thread. It pays to check the dates.
Addendum:
This is just a statement of fact. In response to the queries about whether Rue Furch is running in the upcoming primary, or not.
There is no editorial or political judgement implied or intended. Just a process point about old thread renewal. No other message. That's it. I have no bias for or against renewing old threads.
My bias is for clear and accessible communication. That's it, no other editorial or political judgement is implied or intended.
Capisce?
