“Courageous political leaders – like Mark Desaulnier” –Rich

Marky Mark made himself a eunuch by straddling the fence for so long on so many issues.

Up until just a few years ago he thought he was a Republican.

Rich you neglected to point out that the financial fiasco occurred after the dimmiecrats took over the Congress. Dimmiecrats told the institutions you mention that they would loan money to anyone and ability to repay would no longer be a criterion.

And don’t forget to include the dimmiecrat catch phrase “working families” in your future love poems to Marky Mark.

Roy,
Thanks for catching the Clift link. I needed to look at the entry in HTML format rather than visual in order to see that it had the email address embedded. It’s fixed.

No Wal Mart Supercenters have been built in CoCo county, that I’m aware of. Wal Mart is now offering health care to thier employees, and they came up with this four dollar perscription plan – they are offering consumers cheap perscriptions (for some drugs). The reason? Courageous political leaders – like Mark Desaulnier – who have been standing up to this corporate behemoth. They have gotten the message.
Look at what these unregulated corporate giants – the banks, these insurance companies, these big mortgage outfits – have done to our economy. Almost a depression. These outfits ran wild in the Bush era – that’s why the Democrats are running the show now. Mark DeSaulnier is the kind of political leader who has the courage to stick up to these corporate giants when they are not acting responsible. He’s for working people, for protecting the small business person. He wants to grow the middle class, that’s why I’m supporting him for the CD 10 seat.

Rich, Mark was on the wrong side of the ballot measure on “Big Box” stores and the voters defeated it!

Last time I checked, the old Ford plant in Richmond was the size of several football fields. So what’s the difference? (I know, you’re going to say that the old Ford plant was okay because it was unionized – I get it)

I fixed the Cloward link. It had an extra space in it.

Peterson has no web site listed, so I included his email address.

Jerome Denham’s web site, Freedom Coalition, is not a standard Congressional candidate page but the phone number on the page and the phone number he lists on his nomination paperwork at the same.

And the Mark Loos link appears not to be working although he lists it on his nomination paperwork. I tried to Google him and find it but it may not be live yet. I will be calling all the candidates and setting up interviews so I will try and find out what’s going on with his link.

As a supermarket checker I recall Deaulnier led the fight in CoCo County to keep these Wal Mart supercenters out of the county. These stores – as big as ten football fields are an enviromental disaster for any neighborhood that get’s stuck with one. They throw all the unionized checkers at Safeway out of work, and they put small business owners out of business too. On top of that, many of Wal Mart’s 8 buck an hour employees get thier health care at the county hospital – on the public dime, as Desaulnier knew (he was then a Supervisor). Desaulnier stood up to this corporate giant. He was standing up for unionized supermarket checkers, small bussiness people, and trying to protect the enviroment. He’s a fighter for the little guy, for middle class people. He wants to save good paying jobs, see that working people get health care. Go Mark!

The link for Gary Clift is his email instead of his website and the link for Mark Loos and Jeremy Cloward go to a page on this website that doesn’t work.

Also I think Jerome Denham’s link is wrong too because the site it goes to doesn’t mention him anywhere. Maybe you meant the American Independent Party site?
