In that famous movie
where a scout leader was appointed to fill a Senate term by a "back-room
boy" who thought he could be easily fooled, this "dupe" found
corruption and filibustered to end it. They "pulled out all the
stops" to win, but Mr. Smith won, with the help of his scouts. A similar
thing is happening in Michigan where they're pulling out all the stops to end a
"recall attempt" against Andy Dillon, Speaker of the House after a huge tax increase. In the
movie, thugs physically block and intimidate the scouts, and similar things are being done in Michigan by Dillon staffers, who have flocked into the district to
intimidate those hoping to recall their boss. One such thug is a known
criminal, hired to "educate" voters. He's an eight-time felon with a
"rap sheet" including armed robbery. Even the cops spent public money
to make "robo-calls" to residents and lie to them, saying the recall
backers were "extremists" and were engaged in an "illegal
effort." They're not. A recall effort is VERY legal and the use of the
"robo-call" system in political action IS illegal, even if they were
telling the truth, which they're not. They're even telling taxpayers the recall
will cost a lot of money, which it won't, since it's being
"piggy-backed" onto the regularly scheduled August Primary. And the
recall WILL go on, since they have more than enough signatures. Alas, politics
is still a "dirty business." (Common Sense/Sam Adams Alliance)
