I am now a Democratic Candidate for Commissioner in Collin County Texas
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 05:16 AM by powergirl
I'm running as a Democrat in Collin county and I need your help!!!!!
The county commissioner in my precinct passed away in June - which is in the middle of his four year term. The County Judge of the Commissioner's court, who is a Republican, appointed my opponent, Kathy Ward, a Republican, to temporarily fill that seat until the November election. The Republican party of Collin County voted for her to be on November's ballot.
Thereafter, I was voted upon by the Democratic Voting precinct chairs in Commissioner's Precinct 4 to be on November's ballot. Collin County is a Republican stronghold but with the primary election, many more Democrats than Republicans voted. This was a first for Collin County in approximately 25 years. I hope that the Democratic enthusiasm will transfer to local elections - where we desperately need change!
My opponent is unqualified for this job. Her leading achievement is being the chair of the Republican Party of Collin County. The Commissioner's court has been making bigoted statements and making harassing and disparaging remarks about certain minority populations. They refuse to properly fund any indigent health care program out of alleged fear of helping "illegals." Furthermore, the Court had to pay a year's salary to an exemplary employee - for prejudicial comments and possible lawsuit - who happened to be gay.
I am requesting your support for my candidacy. I need the help of all of all my fellow Dems in the country. Check out my website. I want to earn your vote and your support. Learn more about me here:

7. I'm assuming that Bush doesn't declare martial law,
all of the votes are actually counted, and Kerry isn't abducted by aliens. My landlside prediction is based on "normal" election conditions. But, I too am scared about Bush's comments to Russert and at the Press conference re: I'm not going to lose. The Repubs will do anything - lie, cheat to win. They are horrible horrible people. But I am hopeful that this will strengthen the resolve of the real majority out there to go to the polls and vote. But Bush likes to use his big cowboy words and make declarations that he isn't going to lose, etc.

HELP ME TO NOT BE RUDE! LETTER FROM MY KIDS' SCHOOL ABOUT FUNDING
Edited on Tue May-10-05 03:42 PM by powergirl
I got this email from my kids' school. They go to a Catholic School because the wingnuts around here (I live in Texas) have turned the public schools into bastions of Guns and Jesus freaks. Anyway, the email is copied below. And of course, these people who are so SHOCKED that the president has pledged ZERO FUNDING to leave children behind. They all voted for the bastard! Should I respond? How can I respond without being obnoxious. I have to deal with these people all the time b/c my kids school. Any advice would be appreciated.
- snipped, more at above link -
Calling President Bush a bastard on a public forum probably won't fly well in Texas.
-
Keep digging Ralph. We'll compile the compost into single missive to be sent to the papers with links.
What are the odds the mods will memory-hole the posts to protect her? Grab screenies.

Still digging & screencapping. The incumbent Republican probably has a cakewalk, but any further ammo is always helpful.

I'm also screen capping.

Good. She needs to be exposed and embarrassed for her anti-American opinions.

Well, well, well....in addition to her general "moonbattiness", our friend powergirl is a 911 truther. Should go over well in a county that gave the President 72% of its vote in 2004.

4. Doesn't Mr. Rove spell his name with a "K"
as in "KKK" or Communist "Karl Marx?" You know those REpubs desperately needed to "diversify" the speaker list and Powell would rather vacation in "un-hot regions." Karl is eating twinkies, ding dongs, ho hos, you name it. But he signed up to work for the Devil and he's getting what he deserves.
Calling President Bush the devil, always a good ploy. :whatever:

I like it, a fast acting effort to get rid of the DUmmie's chances to spread her leftist trash talk. :-)
You guys are on the ball, don't forget to send your work to her opponent Kathy Ward (http://www.co.collin.tx.us/commissioners_court/ward/commcourt_ward.jsp).

OK, ideas about the dime to be dropped. My rough-draft of the email I would like to distribute:
To the editors,
It has come to the attention of the undersigned that a Mrs. Jean Power is running for the seat of Collin County commissioner, Precinct 4, in Novemeber 2008.
We became aware of this fact through our private efforts monitor the self-described progressive website democraticunderground.com (simply DU for short).
In the interests of full disclosure we watch this forum because it is a hotbed for anti-US sentiments, anti-religious bigotry and paranoid conspiracy theories. Those who stay abreast of netroots-based political activism are well-aware of DU's reputation, thus our curiosity was piqued.
It was through our perusals that we became aware of Mrs. Power's candidacy through one of her posts announcing her bid and subsequent pleas for assistance. When we began to examine her posting history we found that Mrs. Powers is as steeped in the derision, conspiracies and mean-spiritedness that has earned the forum its disreputation.
We are deeply troubled that someone who believes the US government is behind the attacks of September 11, 2001 and describes the predominantly Christian population of Collins County, TX as "wingnuts" would have the audicity to smile at them while seeking their votes for elected office.
Below posts by Mrs. Power in their entirety to preserve their context along with links to their originating pages. DU is famous for censoring posts that embarrass them in public (you should see the forms when prominent conservatives take ill or pass away) not counting the censorship of dissention so we have preserved inmages of the posts through screencapruring.

I think he's been hiding out of the ranched curled up in a ball and sobbing. He has got to be racked with guilt or humiliation for the mess he's got the country into. That doesn't mean he will eventually do the right thing. But I think he is starting to hear the voices of those who died. Dramatic sounding eh - but I really think it is getting to him. But Bozo wont' repent. He'll just keep acting all cowboyish and continue to ask his administration to carry his water for him. Please don't let this man be president again.

HELP ME TO NOT BE RUDE! LETTER FROM MY KIDS' SCHOOL ABOUT FUNDING
Advertisements [?]Edited on Tue May-10-05 03:42 PM by powergirl

Should I respond? How can I respond without being obnoxious. I have to deal with these people all the time b/c my kids school. Any advice would be appreciated.
Subject: Action Alert - NCLB Title II , Title IV, Title V:A
Dear Colleagues,
The time has come to convey to Congress how much our Catholic schools depend on continued funding for the following programs in No Child Left Behind:
Title II – Enhancing Education Through Technology
Title IV – Safe and Drug-Free Schools
Title V:A – Innovative Programs
Both Title II , and Title IV are ZERO FUNDED in the President's budget request, and Title V:A - Innovative Programs, which was initially cut to almost nothing last year but with your wonderful efforts was restored to $200 million, has been reduced to a proposed $100 million.
Currently, both houses of Congress have passed a budget resolution and are now working on the appropriations process within the respective appropriations subcommittees. It is critical that all members of Congress, and especially members of the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Subcommittees from both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, hear from their constituents and members of the education community that these programs are vital in continuing to educate all American students in both public and private schools.
Please contact your members of Congress by phone, fax, or email and communicate to them that these programs are effective and much-needed within our schools, and that the proposed reductions and eliminations would be harmful to the students who rely upon them. You can find contact information for all Representatives at www.house.gov and for all Senators at www.senate.gov . At this point in the appropriations process, it is especially important to focus on those members of the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittees. Those members, along with their states and districts, are listed below.
Additionally, you may refer to www.capenet.org for more information. CAPE has recently conducted a survey regarding the effectiveness of these programs in private schools, and those results and the accompanying report can be found there, as well - these reports will also be distributed to all Congressional offices to build support for the programs. Please do not hesitate to contact the USCCB Department of Education at the email addresses below or if you have any other questions.
Thank you once again for all of your support. Without your prompt and thorough attention last fall, Title V:A would not have survived, and we hope to achieve similar success this year as well.

In the event the moderators at DU begin censoring Mrs. power's posts to keep her prejudice, paranoia and general disdain for the president, the US and her constuents a secret we have taken extensive screencaptures of these posts to preserve them and are prepared to forawrd them to you at your request.
We think the people of Collin County, Texas as well as America as a whole deserve to be well-represented--if not free of contempt--by those seeking elected office. It troubles us deeply that the Democrats of Collin County Texas could find no better candidate than Mrs. Power and they owe us an explanation as to how someone with such derisible attitudes, posting on such a hate-laden forum as DU could pass by their scrutiny.
Thank-you for your time,
(undersigned)

I find it amusing that this woman running at the DUmp is accusing the GOP of ruining their schools there. The Liberals in Austin are doing the best job they possibly can to ruin that great state.
And the NEA...
And Ted Kennedy's No Child Left Behind legislation..

has anybody looked at Ms Powers official website?
"Why should you vote for Jean Power?
Imagine a representative who listens. Imagine a representative who openly, happily holds herself accountable. Imagine a representative who is intelligent, articulate and passionately driven to serve."
we shall see how happily she holds herself accountable for her words on DU ... :popcorn:
and check out her record of service:
A History of Service
I have a tremendous amount of experience in our community. I have gained the respect and appreciation of many elected officials, community leaders and citizens through my hard work, honesty, and integrity in all that I do. Because of the strong relationships I have forged with many leaders – my future colleagues - I stand ready to make a difference.
well, where is it? did i miss it?
and this is rich:
I believe in the freedom upon which this country was founded. I believe that the men and women who formed Texas and the United States of America shared a common belief that the government should be a democracy that serves the people and that success depends upon mutual respect and collaborative efforts to excel.

A well done to one and all. :cheersmate:

Sorry I'm late to this confab, Mr. Rabbit, but the last sentence of this one needs work:
It was through our perusals that we became aware of Mrs. Power's candidacy through one of her posts announcing her bid and subsequent pleas for assistance. When we began to examine her posting history we found that Mrs. Powers is as steeped in the derision, conspiracies and mean-spiritedness that has earned the forum its disreputation.
The "..is as steeped in..." is the preliminary for a comparison, but it doesn't actually lead to one.

Yeah, I know. I got it all. It's hard to edit one's own work on the first re-read, that's why I waited from last night until this morning to edit as well as wait for the others to keep me from sticking my lucky rabbit's foot in my mouth.
At least the word should be getting out soon. I also dropped tips to hotair.com and Ace of Spades HQ. We'll see if they're interested in such small town potatoes.

DU is famous for censoring posts that embarrass them in public (you should see the forms when prominent conservatives take ill or pass away) not counting the censorship of dissention so we have preserved inmages of the posts through screencapruring.
The post that brought this matter to our attention:

I am now a Democratic Candidate for Commissioner in Collin County Texas
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 05:16 AM by powergirl
I'm running as a Democrat in Collin county and I need your help!!!!!
The county commissioner in my precinct passed away in June - which is in the middle of his four year term. The County Judge of the Commissioner's court, who is a Republican, appointed my opponent, Kathy Ward, a Republican, to temporarily fill that seat until the November election. The Republican party of Collin County voted for her to be on November's ballot.
Thereafter, I was voted upon by the Democratic Voting precinct chairs in Commissioner's Precinct 4 to be on November's ballot. Collin County is a Republican stronghold but with the primary election, many more Democrats than Republicans voted. This was a first for Collin County in approximately 25 years. I hope that the Democratic enthusiasm will transfer to local elections - where we desperately need change!
My opponent is unqualified for this job. Her leading achievement is being the chair of the Republican Party of Collin County. The Commissioner's court has been making bigoted statements and making harassing and disparaging remarks about certain minority populations. They refuse to properly fund any indigent health care program out of alleged fear of helping "illegals." Furthermore, the Court had to pay a year's salary to an exemplary employee - for prejudicial comments and possible lawsuit - who happened to be gay.
I am requesting your support for my candidacy. I need the help of all of all my fellow Dems in the country. Check out my website. I want to earn your vote and your support. Learn more about me here:

8. He's will not be experiencing the rapture any time soon
until he gets on his knees and tells the Almighty what he has done to cause the death of thousands of Americans in 911 and Iraq. I think he looked clincally depressed last night. I think he's been hiding out of the ranched curled up in a ball and sobbing. He has got to be racked with guilt or humiliation for the mess he's got the country into. That doesn't mean he will eventually do the right thing. But I think he is starting to hear the voices of those who died. Dramatic sounding eh - but I really think it is getting to him. But Bozo wont' repent. He'll just keep acting all cowboyish and continue to ask his administration to carry his water for him. Please don't let this man be president again.

4. Doesn't Mr. Rove spell his name with a "K"
as in "KKK" or Communist "Karl Marx?" You know those REpubs desperately needed to "diversify" the speaker list and Powell would rather vacation in "un-hot regions." Karl is eating twinkies, ding dongs, ho hos, you name it. But he signed up to work for the Devil and he's getting what he deserves.

HELP ME TO NOT BE RUDE! LETTER FROM MY KIDS' SCHOOL ABOUT FUNDING
Advertisements [?]Edited on Tue May-10-05 03:42 PM by powergirl
I got this email from my kids' school. They go to a Catholic School because the wingnuts around here (I live in Texas) have turned the public schools into bastions of Guns and Jesus freaks. Anyway, the email is copied below. And of course, these people who are so SHOCKED that the president has pledged ZERO FUNDING to leave children behind. They all voted for the bastard! Should I respond? How can I respond without being obnoxious. I have to deal with these people all the time b/c my kids school. Any advice would be appreciated.
Subject: Action Alert - NCLB Title II , Title IV, Title V:A
Dear Colleagues,
The time has come to convey to Congress how much our Catholic schools depend on continued funding for the following programs in No Child Left Behind:
Title II – Enhancing Education Through Technology
Title IV – Safe and Drug-Free Schools
Title V:A – Innovative Programs
Both Title II , and Title IV are ZERO FUNDED in the President's budget request, and Title V:A - Innovative Programs, which was initially cut to almost nothing last year but with your wonderful efforts was restored to $200 million, has been reduced to a proposed $100 million.
Currently, both houses of Congress have passed a budget resolution and are now working on the appropriations process within the respective appropriations subcommittees. It is critical that all members of Congress, and especially members of the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Subcommittees from both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, hear from their constituents and members of the education community that these programs are vital in continuing to educate all American students in both public and private schools.
Please contact your members of Congress by phone, fax, or email and communicate to them that these programs are effective and much-needed within our schools, and that the proposed reductions and eliminations would be harmful to the students who rely upon them. You can find contact information for all Representatives at www.house.gov and for all Senators at www.senate.gov . At this point in the appropriations process, it is especially important to focus on those members of the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittees. Those members, along with their states and districts, are listed below.
Additionally, you may refer to www.capenet.org for more information. CAPE has recently conducted a survey regarding the effectiveness of these programs in private schools, and those results and the accompanying report can be found there, as well - these reports will also be distributed to all Congressional offices to build support for the programs. Please do not hesitate to contact the USCCB Department of Education at the email addresses below or if you have any other questions.
Thank you once again for all of your support. Without your prompt and thorough attention last fall, Title V:A would not have survived, and we hope to achieve similar success this year as well.

7. I'm assuming that Bush doesn't declare martial law,
all of the votes are actually counted, and Kerry isn't abducted by aliens. My landlside prediction is based on "normal" election conditions. But, I too am scared about Bush's comments to Russert and at the Press conference re: I'm not going to lose. The Repubs will do anything - lie, cheat to win. They are horrible horrible people. But I am hopeful that this will strengthen the resolve of the real majority out there to go to the polls and vote. But Bush likes to use his big cowboy words and make declarations that he isn't going to lose, etc.

In the event the moderators at DU begin censoring Mrs. power's posts to keep her prejudice, paranoia and general disdain for the president, the US and her constuents a secret we have taken extensive screencaptures of these posts to preserve them and are prepared to forawrd them to you at your request.
We think the people of Collin County, Texas as well as America as a whole deserve to be well-represented--if not free of contempt--by those seeking elected office. It troubles us deeply that the Democrats of Collin County Texas could find no better candidate than Mrs. Power and they owe us an explanation as to how someone with such derisible attitudes, posting on such a hate-laden forum as DU could pass by their scrutiny.
Thank-you for your time,

I haven't found any news stories talking about the postings that she made, but she was completely trounced none the less.
Here's some discussions about a tactic she used.
Comment from: anon [Visitor]
This is a fine example of dirty politics by Mrs. Power. Many people have lost their homes to foreclosure recently. We do not know the circumstances of Kathy Ward's foreclosure and it really is not our business. It has no bearing on Kathy's ability to continue in her position as Commissioner.
Also, Mrs. Power is misleading the public in using her profession as a family law attorney as a qualification for Commissioner. Being a lawyer does not make one ethical or competent. In fact many believe that lawyers are nothing more than over paid mud slinging blood suckers.

Comment from: Collin County Citizen [Visitor]
First, Power's mailer and Ward's mailer are NOT the same. Ward's focuses on the endorsement of a state official - it makes no attacks on Power.
Power chose to make this race dirty. Kathy is not 'under investigation'. There are merely those in the party who don't like the decision to move GOP headquarters to McKinney. Fred Moses was the one who chaired the moving committee. Further, Ward's home forclosure is misleading. Ward's house was an asset of her divorce and she had no obligation to the house. Even further, Ward doesn't work for a debt collection agency, she works for a debt settlement agency, which works with consumers to get on consolidation plans to get themselves out of debt.
I actually liked Jean Power. But, after this tactic, she has proven to be nothing more than an angry liberal who fell into this campaign after no previous public service. It was just a free chance for Democrats to put someone on the ballot.
VOTE KATHY WARD FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER!!!!

I have to agree putting someone's personal financial problems out to the public is incredibly sleazy.
Jean Power is a Democrat? What positions does she hold that make her a Democrat?

I agree with you Thomas. The way that Mrs. Power has conducted her mail campaign was wrong.
Many suffer the financial effects of divorce. Most of us are broke when the dust settles. Statistically, women suffer the most financial hardship.
Mrs. Power was unethical in using Ms. Ward's foreclosure to attempt to advance her campaign.
Mrs. Power has issues with her character and ethics.
She is clearly a bad choice for Collin County.

I wonder how much she's still stinging over it.

Their search functions are ass backwards, so it's hard to tell.

Your best bet would be the Dallas Morning News.
The Dallas Morning Snooze is a lost cause....
might look for the papers in Plano, Frisco and McKinney

The CC Observer is a liberal website BTW!

I searched and there isn't a post from her in the big forums nor in the Texas area after her announcement of running.

Uh oh. It was getting too close to the truth and they had it 'bumped off'!
You better post what you found at the DUmp MM. It is only right. They will all want to know what happened but be warned, they will want to know what you knew and when you knew it.
