Dasch for Pierce County Council
I will be at the Island Coffee Shoppe
from 10 to 11 a.m. on Monday August 6th to talk with folks - some don't know me
yet. If you want to include my logo, I've attached one.
Ann Dasch is a superb candidate for Pierce County Council. She is a resident of Anderson Island.

Liberty and Justice for Guns
Each time I drive past a honky-tonk bar and see a pickup parked outside, complete with gun rack and a bumper sticker that reads something like PROTECT YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS, I ponder:
- Why isn't the owner of the vehicle concerned about the first, fourth, fifth or eighth amendments?
- Can the owner explain what a "well regulated militia" is?
- Where is the Second Amendment found?
- Has he (I guess it could be a she, but somehow, I doubt it.) ever read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights?
- Does the displayer of the bumper sticker see anything contradictory about referring to the Bill of Rights of the United States while sporting a Confederate battle flag window decal?
Phony Voter Purge
I wonder who the Republicans are targeting with their bogus "voter purge?" Shades of Alabama in the 60s!

Big Win for the American People
The Republican Health Plan:
The Affordable Care Law
a.k.a. Obamacare
- Don't get sick.
- If you do, die quickly so we don't have to pay for it.
The Affordable Care Law
a.k.a. Obamacare

Scalia & the Supremes
You may have noticed that the four Supreme Court decisions since 2000 that most directly
affect elections in the United States have been carried by the five Republican
appointees. In each case, the impact adversely affects Democrats.
Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy and Alito in 2010 in Citizens United and again today in overturning a hundred-year-old law restricting campaign spending in Montana; Scalia, Thomas, Rehnquist, O'Connor and Kennedy in 2000 re Bush v. Gore.
Here's the fourth decision which has been generally overlooked and which was designed to weaken the influence of African Americans who overwhelmingly vote for the Democrat:
"Race Permitted in Redistricting (April 18, 2001): In crucial 5–4 ruling, justices reverse lower court finding that North Carolina legislature had violated the Constitution by using race as a predominant factor in drawing boundaries of congressional district. Because state's black voters vote overwhelmingly Democratic, Court could not determine definitively that redistricting was based on unconstitutional racial considerations rather than permissible political considerations."
Yeh, sure.
This Thursday's decision on the Affordable Care Act on the face of it may not seem like an election matter. But if, as is expected, the five on the right vote to overturn or gut it of its principal clause, it will have been as partisan a decision as the others.
Does anyone doubt that the Republican fever to destroy Obamacare isn't a major campaign issue; its loss can and will be characterized during the campaign this year as another blow against Obama's "drift toward socialism" and yet another major mistake by those dangerous Democrats.
