ELECTION YEAR CIRCUS TIME!

It is January and the circus has come to town! Although it’s a three ring circus the media has focused on ring number one, the presidential election. During this period that ring has been pretty much a clown show and as such the media has wrapped its’ 24 hour news cycle around it. Yes the caucuses/primaries will most likely determine which candidates will go into the party conventions with the possibility of being nominated as the party’s choice for president. (If you want the caucus/primary schedule click on the 2016 PRIMARY DATA menu item in the DollarBillBrigade.com site.) With a wall to wall, 24 hour media focus on the presidential campaigns, the public political conversation has had the oxygen sucked out of rings two and three, the Senate and House elections.

Unfortunately, all this media narrow focus has been a distraction from the very important down ticket races, not only those of the congress but important state constitutional offices and state legislatures. Remember without an operational congress, the president is generally restricted to foreign and domestic policy, executive orders and other functions which do not require congressional action. Important functions such as budgets, legislation, and appointment confirmations are the domain of the Senate and the House. Without cooperation between the executive and legislative branches of government we are looking at continued governmental crises and grid lock for years to come. There are many factors in the next years that could be a substantial change in the nature of our democracy. One may be that the next president will be in a position to select three members of the Supreme Court and scores of District Courts justices resetting judicial interpretation.

The reason for down ticket interest is the fact that $100s’ of millions in dark money is being directed to these races and that is because those whose play the political game know where they can get the maximum bang for their politically invested buck and where the power is for their particular financial interest. You don’t have to go far to find organizations and individuals who have a state interest in redistricting, gun registration, voter rights, gaming, etc. Pay attention to the real voting record of those running for re-election or higher office as opposed to their campaign rhetoric… which many times is nothing more than a pack of lies. Cautiously examine the record of gubernatorial, secretary of state candidates, and legislators to see who have done a creditable job in representing their constituents in an honest manner. There is a state where the governor has the power to replace elected officials, that state has a self inflicted lead poison problem. Another state the PUC shut down the solar rooftop industry. In another state the legislature approved an open carry gun law, etc. These are just a few of the state down ticket dysfunctional items already implemented and there are many more waiting to be disposition by those newly elected or re-elected. Remember these people affect your day to day life, do your homework, examine the down ticket ballot like your democracy depends upon it. Because it does!
