OTT: Luddites send out plea to prop up sagging Montgomery Campaign
Posted by: Aaron Park | 08/26/2008 6:33 AM
Blogger's Notes: I guess the Luddites can't get their message out through crashing Fire Summits or writing about why Private Property Rights are bad... they have taken to evangelism and passing the hat... One thing the Luddites know, the 3-lane vs 4-lane issue isn't the only thing this election is about.

I think you know how important this election is for Placer County. So much of what we have struggled for over the years hangs in the balance. What happens in the race in Supervisorial District 5 will decide the direction of the county for years to come. Will the big influx of developer money pave the way for a Bruce Kranz victory over Jennifer Montgomery in November? Will sprawl despoil the pristine beauty of Donner Summit? Do we face a future of sprawl from Roseville to Auburn and beyond? Are we ready to have a Supervisor who truly cares and will represent both sides of the poorly gerrymandered Placer County?
It really depends on whether you and I are willing to step up.
We usually don't ask for money, but the future of the place where we live is at stake. While Jennifer Montgomery is taking no money from big developers that is exactly where Bruce Kranz is getting his financial backing. As we approach the election in November, Jennifer must be able to get her message out and respond to relentless attacks in the form of Kranz's slick mailers.
With the Campaign Finance Reporting deadline at hand, this is an especially critical time to make a contribution to the Montgomery for Supervisor campaign, because Jennifer needs to show that she has the grassroots support and the financial muscle to compete with a Kranz campaign that is funded by powerful development interests.
If you think this county should stay a livable place and not a suburb of Sacramento, please make a contribution toward electing Jennifer Montgomery for supervisor. You can donate online at --- or write a check to "Montgomery for Supervisor" and send it to Montgomery for Supervisor, PO Box ----, No Progress, CA 95---.
Thank you,

Women's right to vote didn't exist until they fought for it. Blacks rights for equality didn't happen until...
With over-development of Placer County, residential housing prices have plunged. Bankruptcy's abound. A developer and local iconic figure had to throw in the towel and file for personal bankruptcy to the tune of 85 million. Wachovia Bank ended up owning the bankrupt development. Banks in this region now own a lot of houses formerly owned by hard-working families. Democrats have been accused of "redistribution of wealth". Well folks, make no mistake about it, this most recent "redistribution of wealth" is due to Republican lack of stepping in to cool off an over-heated housing market. That would be "over-regulation".
I guess McClintock is right in a way. Market forces are all, even if some get wiped out...
Lee, a weasel has not such a deal of spleen as you are endowed with.
"Well folks, make no mistake about it, this most recent "redistribution of wealth" is due to Republican lack of stepping in to cool off an over-heated housing market."
Socialism, Brown for Congress.
My recollection is that Montgomery did in fact take developer campaign money. Anyone?
