Mary Pallant for Congress
By David Swanson
California's 24th District is grotesquely misrepresented by Cheney-Bush rubber stamper Elton Gallegly, who is ready to start his lobbying career on K Street but who was talked into running again by the Republican Party. People are energized to unseat him, and three Democrats are running in the primary. One of them stands out, and is standing next to me in the attached photo: Mary Pallant.
Pallant is for single-payer health coverage:
"The only way you can be sure to get great affordable health care is to go to prison or go to Congress because the government subsidizes both. But assuming you and your family don’t want to do either, we need to understand that it is almost impossible for us to continue on the current path we are on of rising insurance premiums, less coverage, 1000’s uninsured here in our district. Single Payer will return the care back over to your doctors and hospitals and away from administrators sitting miles away in a cubicle making decisions about your health and well being. Single Payer is comprehensive coverage for all and will greatly reduce the financial burden on businesses and families who struggle to pay insurance premiums."
She's for withdrawing from Iraq completely:
"It is time to bring our troops home: combat, support and private contractors. Mary wants all bases closed and turned over to the Iraqi Government and the rebuilding efforts must be turned over to the people of Iraq. We must also set aside adequate funds to rebuild what has been destroyed while calling upon the neighboring countries to be engaged and involved members of the rehabilitation process to stabilize, revitalize and formalize Iraq and its political structure."
She's for shifting our priorities:
"The 2 to 3 billion dollars a week we are spending in Iraq will get a much better return on investment if we invest here in our infrastructure, create green collar jobs, boost manufacturing, and assist with the sub-prime loan debacle. Wages have stagnated over the last several years, our dollar has declined, while our debt has risen to record levels. We are in an unsustainable downward spiral and we must act fast. We have witnessed the impact here in the district with falling or stagnate home sales, Amgen laid off 100’s of employees, Countrywide’s fall to near ruin, which affected 100’s of people who live here in Ventura County. The cost of goods and services has far outpaced inflation. For America to be a beacon of hope again in the world, a model of democracy, we must restore our middle class and become strong and secure again here first. It begins in our own back yard."
This is an easy one. GIVE MARY SOME MONEY.

Great Picture
And great endorsement for a solid candidate that will bring the 24th Congressional district back to the people.
No More Money For Democrats!
Sorry Mary I have been down this road before. Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.
I have made a pledge to myself that if Bush and Cheney are not impeached and the iraq war is still going that there is no way in hell that I will support or vote for any Democrat.
Mabe Mary is who she says she is and will follow thru with her campaign pledges; is not that the same thing we thought about so many democrats in 2004. Who would have thought the great John Conyers would turn out to be a chicken shit coward turn coat? Did we not think Conyers would immediately act to impeach if given the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee?
No more money or votes for Democrats! The two big political party are a curse to democracy. I am voting and supporting independents this time around. Screw you Republicans and Democrats!
And so it begins... the scapegoating of Conyers backfires
Well, it's not like I didn't try to stop the witch-hunt bandwagon against Conyers, but I failed.
IMPEACH BUSHCO & RICO PNAC/AIPAC>"OUT" ANTI-AMERICAN CABALS!

Go Mary
Always great to see a candidate pushing for the creation of green collar jobs and the revitalization of our manufacturing base (which of course go hand in hand). Good luck with your campaign.

ooooppps - three Democrat Candidates??? nope - incorrect.

Govenor Michael Dukakis endorsing Jill Martinez March 2008
First of all - if you go to:
You'll see where maybe Ms Pallant had an identity crisis - Democrat or Republican?
http://blogs.venturacountystar.com/dennert/archives/2008/04/mary_pallant...
I want to thank Brian Dennert for finally posting the truth to the source of the "rumor" which Pallant has so viciously accused others of starting.... HER SELF, HER OWN WEB PAGE AND HER OWN STAFF. To thine own self be truth Mary girl! If you're republican, say it with pride.
The above page at Pallants site has since changed, but it was done in such a hurry, that it does not match the rest of her site and is a mess.
There are not 3 Democrats running for this seat, and has not been since 4/23/08 -
http://www.jillmartinezforcongress2008.com/Links/ 04/23/08 - Democrat Marta Jorgensen, Santa Ynez, announced withdrawing from the race for the 24th Congressional District, and giving her support to Jill Martinez, the Democratic party’s candidate in 2006, and now in 2008. This move helps to unite Democrats in time for the June 3 California primary.
Mis-information is a very old school way of undermining the opposition, when the truth simply won't do it.
Let's post honest information.

Jill Martinez Campaign
The Martinez campaign is so desperate at this point because of the debt that has been accumulated. It is just a shame they, under the name of JacksonDude, have to post the above nonsense. It's really a disservice to voters. Who wants to read that negative mud throwing, not to mention, they make fools of themselves.
Please read the following to explain their desperation:
"9. CA-24. Last month: 9. Incumbent: Elton Gallegly. Challengers: Jill Martinez, Mary Pallant (Responsible Plan endorser). PVI #: R+5. % Dem. turnout: 50.6. Marta Jorgensen has quit the race and backed Jill Martinez. Unfortunately, the primary fight here has turned a little nasty, with Jill Martinez stretching the truth about Mary Pallant's positions and her own finances. Neither candidate raised a lot of money last quarter but Martinez claimed she had, despite her bank account being in the red. Pallant is working the progressive grassroots to win the nomination, winning the endorsements of Democrats.com's David Swanson and author Norman Solomon. I'd love to see a true progressive take on Elton Gallegly. He wants to drill in ANWR. He's not that bright."

Candidates Can Not Control The Press
Just Like the writer who goes by the AKA of "jurnei" and speaks all over the internet for Mary Pallant and says many things that may or may not be true. Is Mary Pallant behind every remark of jurnei's?
I think not.
Let's speak fairly folks and each and everyone for themselves.
Peace.
Hi Anonymous
Brilliant post - is "Mary Pallant behind every remark of Jurnei". I have been quite disappointed with the Martinez campaign due to the level of dishonesty. I have spent numerous hours checking on whether endorsements are current, campaign finances, outlandish claims of experience from the Martinez campaign, etc. Since I have been an internet editor for several years now, basically I know where to go on a lot of issues. You'll notice when I post point of fact, I use a resource which has been much more than you have offered to the voters of the 24th.
I do speak all over the internet for Mary Pallant as I value integrity, representation in Congress that reflects the needs of the public. I have whole heartedly endorsed her candidacy over Martinez and Jorgensen. In my opinion both Martinez and Jorgensen have shown dishonest qualities. Since neither have been elected, I consider dishonest qualities at the onset dangerous, at best. I am sure you can agree, we have had enough dishonesty and politics as usual in this nation.
Above all, I value integrity. That is why I became an outspoken voice against the Martinez campaign. Currently, I will be an outspoken voice against the Jorgensen campaign. If candidates lie before they are even elected and we don't call attention to that, we will surely never fix what is wrong in this nation.
If you have question as to anything I've posted, please click on the associated link and read the reference yourself.
You idiot!
Marta Jorgensen is back in the race
and withdraws endorsement of Martinez.
What another joke
Jorgensen is. She'll likely drop out against Gallegly and further disappointment democrats hoping for some kind of different government. She can't even write a meaningful sentence, let along raise money for a campaign. Perhaps someone will send her a gas card so she can drive to Ventura county. She found driving to Ventura a serious problem due to her campaign finances, as noted in the Ventura County Star.
