(OBM Machine - Obambi / Brown / Montgomery)

Earlier, I blogged about Taumas Colliver - he of the Placer County is Ruled by White, Male Republicans and the crazy anon blogger talking about Occupied Placer County. Well, the all-star team just added another to their roster.

Who is Joanne Neft?

Joanne Neft purports to be a lifelong Republican. She is purported to be a close associate of Liberal Republican Supervisor Robert Weygant.

Joanne Neft has never given a dime to the Placer County Republican Party in the entire time I have been involved with it.

Neft wrote Liberal Democrat Jennifer Montgomery a $1500 check, as reported on Montgomery's 6/30 form 460.

Neft wrote Charlie Brown a check for $1,627 in 2006.

Now Republican Joanne Neft is up to her old tricks. After supporting and lending her name to the attempted recall of two Republican members of Sierra College's Board of Trustees - she is a "leader" in the Save Sierra College effort to elect Liberal Democrat activists to that board.

In 2002, Neft was part of the Placer County Republican Congress slate of Liberal Republicans that formed to attempt the takeover of the Central Committee. They were also active in supporting John Doolittle's primary opponent, Bill Kirby. This was pre-Abramoff - Doolittle won with 78% of the vote.

Neft is involved with the Sierra Club and like organizations.

In 2002, Neft authored the John Doolittle coloring book - that may have been a violation of Campaign Finance Laws, but nevertheless was replete with attacks against John for supporting Hunters, Gun Rights, Development and Tax Cuts.

In 2006, Neft was part of Now-Democrat former Congressman Pete McCloskey's effort to weaken John Doolittle in the primary called "Revolt of the Elders". Again, their mailer was replete with Environmentalist attacks.

Neft has never endorsed or supported Bruce Kranz, she supported Liberal Democrat Rex Bloomfield.

Neft has never endorsed or supported Ted Gaines in the time I have been active.

Neft has never endorsed or supported John Doolittle - and I won't hold my breath waiting for her to support McClintock either.

Now - Save Sierra College is bragging about Bi-partisan support of "Community Activists"...

Neft has a right to her opinions. As a Republican activist, I have a right to call her a fraud. She certainly fits the mold of the OBM Machine.
