Anti-Kerry movie

From: David Redlawsk

Friends,

At the Central Committee meeting last night I mentioned a web site with
information about Sinclair Broadcasting and their plans to run the
anti-Kerry propaganda movie "Stolen Honor" on their stations. (KGAN in
CR
is one of theirs.) I gave out a web address that I might have
mis-stated.
The address for the site about boycotting Sinclair is:
http://www.boycottsbg.com. Go to it and check out the list of
advertisers
on KGAN. If you do business with any of them, call them up and ask them
(politely) to remove their advertising from this dishonest and biased
station, operating under the false claim that is is presenting "news".

Dave

BBQ thank yous

From:


It was thrilling to see such a large number of people help with the
barbecue
this past Saturday. Because of all of you it was a success. Thanks
to you who cut pies, thawed buns, ran to the store, sold pop, and did
the myriad of other kitchen tasks. Thanks to those who set up chairs,
put up signs, and decorated. Thanks to everyone who sold advance
tickets,
collected at the door, sold raffle tickets, and organized games for
the kids. Thanks to folks who helped clean up, stayed late to load up
cars, and delivered leftovers to Gina's house. Thanks to those who lent
their coolers and spoons, lent a sound system, brought desserts and
lemonade,
and donated items for the silent auction. What an awesome bunch!!!
We would also like to acknowledge Drew Beck at Hawkeye Foodservice for
his help in planning and supplying the barbecue, and who also spent the
entire day in the kitchen.

Kirsten, Pat, Rod, and Gina

Safe Seats in House Keep True Races Rare
Safe Seats in House Keep True Races Rare

Gerrymandering meets GIS and the real battles aren't elections anymore.

The most important driving forces are the careful, computer-aided redrawing of congressional districts and the willingness of incumbents from both major parties to embrace new political maps that help them retain their seats.

The redrawing of political boundaries, a time-honored but once-coarse craft involving considerable guesswork, has evolved in the computer age into a fine science.

Many people insist that they vote for the individual, not the party. But most voters are reliably partisan. Run their voting histories through a few computer programs, and the political demographics of a neighborhood can be calculated with accuracy, allowing creation of districts with stable Democratic or Republican majorities...
