Yet, they are asking for McClintock, Devereux or Feliz to release it. That would be a felony without my consent. The fact that Mr. Reed, a Brown supporter mentions the name Feliz indicates an level of campaign knowledge that is uncommon. This is day 3 in the Effigy Watch - I will continue to call on the Brown team to either confirm or deny Charlie's anti-war activities, then Mr. Reed can have a copy of my DD214.The Brown team wants to play a game of DD214 comparison.

This is what the voters in the 4th CD want to know. The absurdity of Charlie Brown's charges against Tom McClintock are punctuated by Charlie Brown's Anti-War Activism.Late in the 2006 campaign, Charlie abandoned Cindy Sheehan and Steven Pearcy, dispatching his wife to try and talk them out of a Code Pink rally at the Capitol late summer 2006. Pearcy was quite angry that someone he saw as a friend would abandon his core principles in pursuit of political gain.Could the "Promises Kept" be another attempt at political redemption for Charlie http://www.redcounty.com/placercountyca/2008/08/ott-latest-duck-by-brown-team/ http://www.redcounty.com/placercountyca/2008/08/ott-latest-duck-by-brown-team/ 4th Congressional District Race Charlie Brown Code Pink Effigy Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:58:20 -0800 Frankly, I think Brown is a Tin Soldier - I have said it before and I will say it again.Did Charlie Brown stand with the Soldier hung in effigy or not - I want an official Brown Campaign Statement on this.

I have decided to look at some files in my email to get a better understanding as to why Charlie Brown wants a scripted, controlled style of Debating... and why he wants 1/2 the number of debates that Tom McClintock is suggesting.The link takes you to a page on the Placer CRA Blogsite that has four clips hosted from AM 1240 KUSE, a station in Susanville, CA where Brown was interviewed regarding the Energy issue.The four clips are Charlie's predictable answers http://www.redcounty.com/placercountyca/2008/08/a-recent-radio-appearance-by-b/ http://www.redcounty.com/placercountyca/2008/08/a-recent-radio-appearance-by-b/ 4th Congressional District Race Charlie Brown Tom McClintock Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:48:37 -0800 Major Update - The Auburn Journal made a major error in the story, they wrote that Stan Devereux, McClintock's spokesman canceled his scheduled meeting with Stenhouse on Thursday (the day of the Brown release) due to having to attend a memorial. The AJ was in error as the Memorial was on Wednesday. Gus Thomson, the reporter was told as such.The significance is the appearance that Devereux canceled a meeting with Stenhouse on Thursday - so Stenhouse sent this press release out over "bad faith" by the McClintock team. At best, this is sloppy reporting, at worst, this is another chapter http://www.redcounty.com/placercountyca/2008/08/the-brownies-are-squirming-bla/ http://www.redcounty.com/placercountyca/2008/08/the-brownies-are-squirming-bla/ 4th Congressional District Race Charlie Brown Debates Tom McClintock Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:39:39 -0800 As Printed in the USNEWS.COM websiteBlogger's Notes: Back in those days, senators were not directly elected, the state legislators elected US Senators.
