LIAR, LIAR - GOP Candidate Lies to GOP, Supported Clinton

LIAR, LIAR -
GOP Candidate Lies, Supported Hillary Clinton

By Bob Haran

At a candidate forum for the Arizona House on Monday night, (July 26), in Legislative District 6, I asked the five candidates that showed up if any of them had contributed to any liberal, pro-abortion cause or Democrat candidates like Hillary Clinton in the past ten years? And yes, I specifically said Hillary Clinton. All five candidates; John Adam Kowalski, Amanda Reeve, Steve Kaiser, David Fitzgerald lll, and Carl Seel, all in turn adamantly responded NO to my question.

After asking my question, a lady asked me if I knew the answer my question, I responded with a simple "YES."

One of the five candidates for the Republican nomination for the Arizona House of Representatives, all who claim to be strongly conservative, pro-life, and a life long Republican, had just lied to the District 6 Republican Precinct Committeemen.

Unlike some other political blogs, The American Conservative Republican likes to verify information before we publish it.

A reliable source, (which means someone I know but who's name I will keep confidential), E-mailed me a copy of Federal Elections Commission form 3, (REPORT OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS) for the "Friends of Hillary" committee dated 10/15/2005. On page 584 of the report under item B was the name of a contributor as David Fitzgerald lll, mailing address 4530 W. Misty Lane, Glendale, AZ 85310-3901, name of employer as SELF, Occupation Real Estate Broker, Date of Receipt 9/15/2005, amount of receipt $250.00.

It might be possible that two people in Arizona in the real estate business might have the name David Fitzgerald lll, therefore, I had to verify that this was the same David Fitzgerald lll running for the Arizona House as a Republican in LD6.

The Arizona Corporation Commission -- Corporations Division, had a listing for a David E Fitzgerald lll with the address as 4530 W Misty Willow Ln, Glendale, 85310 listed as the President/CEO of Success One Realty Inc and a Yukari Fitzgerald of the same address, listed as the Secretary of Success One.

So far I have proved that the David Fitzgerald lll listed in the FEC report is the same David E Fitzgerald lll listed with the Arizona Corporation Commission. However, is this the same Fitzgerald running for office in LD 6?

The Arizona Capitol Times 2010 Primary Elections Guide has a listing of all candidates for the Arizona legislature. Under Arizona House District 6 is Fitzgerald, David (Republican), OCCUPATION: Broker/owner, Success One Realty, since 1998. MARTIAL: Married (Yukari, loan officer).

The information therefore has been verified, the David Fitzgerald III that contributed $ 250 to the Hillary Clinton campaign for the United States Senate from New York on 9/15/2005 is one and the same as the David Fitzgerald currently running for the Republican nomination for the Arizona House of Representatives from LD 6 and he did in fact publicly lie to the Republican Precinct Committeemen and others at a candidates forum on July 26 at the Deer Valley Airport Restaurant in regard to making a contribution to any Democrat candidate like Hillary Clinton in the past ten years.

In the interest of fair play, the Chairman of District 6, Larry Gorman, contacted David Fitzgerald to offer him an opportunity to respond, David Fitzgerald asked that the following statement be distributed.

"As a Republican candidate for House in LD6, I would like to make sure that PCs are able to contact me directly to answer any questions they might have. To all PCs (and all constituents!) in LD6, please feel free to contact me anytime on my cell phone at 480-688-8217"

A very interesting response, I wonder what his explanation will be, they always have an explanation. Maybe he can claim temporary insanity or he didn't understand the question.

David Fitzgerald is running on a slate with Lori Klein and Carl Seel.

Lori Klein, who claims to be pro-life, was discovered to have made a contribution to the pro-abortion WISH LIST and to have been convicted for drunk driving last year.

Carl Seel, who is running a publicly funded campaign, has just completed his first term in the Arizona House and submitted 46 bills, not one of which was passed into law. It was recently reported that he is being sued by a Pay-Day Loan company for writing them a bad check.

Amazingly, Klein, Seel and Fitzgerald have all been endorsed by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who claims to be America's toughest sheriff.

We have no word if Hillary Clinton will be endorsing the Klein, Seel, Fitzgerald slate.

LORI KLEIN EXPLAINS DUI ARREST

In the Matter of Arizona V. Lori Klein.

On October 2 2008, Lori Klein, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Arizona Senate from Legislative District 6, was arrested and charged with violating ARS 28-701.02A3, (speed exceeding 85 MPH); ARS 28 -1381A1, (DUI); and ARS 28- 1381A2 (DUI with Blood-Alcohol of .08 or More). In other words, this wannabe law-maker, was breaking the law and driving without regard to human life, at 85 MPH on public roads with a very high octane blood-alcohol level. Thankfully the police apprehended her before she killed or injured anyone.

After fighting the charges for over a year, Lori Klein was sentenced to 3 years probation; 1 day in jail which was served on 8/17/09; Alcohol Education with DUI Education, Treatment & Counseling with Court Support Services, which she completed on 10/28/2009; Ignition Interlock Device per MVD order and; Penalty Fees totaling $1,460.00, which she paid on 8/10/2009.

Now, Lori Klein has tried to explain away her irresponsible behavior on her campaign Web site under a section she calls "Lessons Learned."

From Lori Klein's Campaign Web Site
http://www.kleinforsenate.net/issues.html

Lessons Learned:

A couple of years ago, on my way home from an event, I was pulled over for speeding. The officer asked me if I had had anything to drink that night. I had two glasses of wine so I said "yes" and agreed to take a breathalyzer test. I wasn’t terribly concerned because I had consumed the glasses over a long period of time and I felt fine.

So you can imagine how I felt when he said that my blood alcohol content was at .08—the legal definition of a DUI. Stunned, shocked, and embarrassed just to start. As the mother of three teenaged boys, I always had imagined how I would handle it when the call came from them in the middle of night. Now I was the one making the phone call. It turns out that losing fifty pounds and being in ketosis, as well as having a slower metabolism is not a good combination if you are going to drink wine, even with dinner.

It only took me a short while to realize that as embarrassing as this was, I was actually quite lucky. I might not have felt impaired, but the limit is set at .08 for a reason, and the evening could very well have ended tragically for me, my family, or even someone else’s family.
Since that night, I’ve used the event to warn and teach my friends and family about the importance of not having even that first drink if you know you will be driving later on. Get a designated driver or order the iced tea.

Some people are surprised by my willingness to talk about this event, but what good is learning a lesson the hard way if you can’t share it and help others with the lesson learned?

Paid for by Klein for Senate © 2010

It was also discovered that Ms. Klein has also contributed money to the pro-abortion WISH List, which is dedicated to electing pro-choice Republican women at all levels of government. WISH List also has very little regard for human life.

Klein, who is not a precinct committeemen in LD 6 is being strongly supported by Arizona Treasurer Dean Martin; former LD 6 representative and congressional candidate Sam Crump; and current LD 6 Arizona Representative Carl Seel.

Thankfully for Ms. Klein, she also has the support of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, just in case she lands in Tent City.

SAY IT AIN'T SO JOE - Arpaio Endorsed Convicted DUI for AZ Senate

CORRECTION:

There is false information in this post based on deceptive information that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio had withdrawn his endorsement of Arizona Senator Dave Braswell. Joe Araio has endorsed Dave Braswell and has never withdrawn that endorsement. Arpaio has also endorsed Lori Klein however for the Republican nomination for the Arizona Senate from LD 6. More information will be provided in newer posts. Sorry for the misinformation but we picked up the information form the Sonoran Allience blog which was apparently deceived by a phony press release.

By Bob Haran;

America's toughest sheriff may pull you over for a broken tail light or a cracked windshield, however, if you happen to be a fundraiser, arrested and convicted for driving drunk at 85 MPH on our streets, he might endorse you for the Arizona Senate.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who once endorsed Democrat Janet Napolitano for governor, has decided to take back his endorsement of incumbent Arizona Senator Dave Braswell for state senate in LD 6 and "Upon further reflection," decided, "I am 100% behind Lori Klein and have proudly endorsed her election effort."

Arpaio said in a press release posted on the Senoran Alliance blog that, "I've done my homework and Lori is a fighter, a conservative, and someone who will do the right thing in the face of tremendous pressure."

The Sheriff may have to re-do his homework because Lori Klein is also a contributor to WISH LIST, who's mission is to, "Raise funds, identify, support and, elect pro-choice Republican women to positions at all levels of government across America."

Joe Arpaio claims to be pro-life and so does Lori Klein, she just lends her financial support to pro-abortion groups.

Ms. Klein may have had her judgement impaired however when she contributed to WISH LIST, she certainly did on October 2, 2008 when she was arrested and charged with driving drunk in excess of 85 MPH on our streets with a BAC of .08 or more.

Court records indicate that Klein was sentenced to 3 years probation, 1 day in jail which she served in the Town of Paradise Valley Jail on August 17, 2009, Alcohol Education which she completed on October 28, 2009, an Ignition Interlock Device per MVD order and penalty fees totaling $1,460.00 which was paid on August 10, 2009.

For those who are still drinking the Kool Aid and don't want to believe what they read, the case was adjudicated at Dreamy Drew Justice Court, Case Number TR2008-162210, In the Matter of the State of Arizona V. Lori Agnes Klein.

Dave Braswell, Lori Klein and myself were nominated at a special election by the precinct committeemen of LD 6 as the three candidates to fill the vacancy in the Arizona Senate when Pamela Gorman resigned to run for Congress in CD 3. Arizona Treasurer Dean Martin put Ms. Klein's name in nomination and she was strongly endorsed by Sam Crump who is also running for Congress and Arizona Representative Carl Seel of LD 6.

Dave Braswell, who was the district chairman at the time, was nominated on the first ballot with just under two thirds of the vote. Ms. Klein and myself were both nominated on the second ballot with 82 votes for myself and 67 for Klein.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors had the final authority to select one of the three people nominated by the Legislative District Committee as Pam Gorman's replacement in the Arizona Senate and they selected Dave Braswell, which was a good choice. Braswell was nominated on the first ballot by the precinct committeemen who represent all the registered Republicans in District 6 and honestly, I couldn't come up with a good argument why he should not have been selected. He is a thinking conservative and a good family man and I'm proud that if someone other then myself were selected to represent the people of LD 6, that it was Dave Braswell.

Lori Klein is Braswell's only opponent for the Republican nomination for the Arizona Senate from LD 6 this year as I promised that regardless of being appointed to fill the vacancy or not, I would not run in 2010.

At this time, since we our on the subject of endorsements, as the publisher of the American Conservative Republican, I hereby endorse Arizona Senator Dave Braswell for the Republican nomination for the Arizona Senate from LD 6. As his opponent for the appointment I had the opportunity to research him and found no reason why he should not represent our district.

BREWER FAVORITE WITH GOP

From the Phoenix Business Journal,
by Mike Sunnucks

Brewer gets 61 percent in a 700-person poll of GOP voters by Rasmussen Reports.
Businessman Buz Mills gets 16 percent and State Treasurer Dean Martin 12 percent in the statewide poll, which was conducted June 16.

The poll shows Republican voters like Brewer’s hard-line stance on immigration including the new state law that gives police more power to question suspected illegal immigrants.

The Rasmussen poll shows 89 percent of Arizona Republicans support the new law. Another 65 percent say it will be good for the state’s economy and 62 percent say it will help Arizona’s image. Supporters of the immigration law say it will reduce crime and the costs of illegal immigration. Brewer signed the law in April and it has catapulted her as the standard bearer for get-tough immigration policies in the state. It’s also helped her popularity with primary voters.
Critics of the bill say it will lead to police racially profiling Hispanics, and that it sends a negative image about the state.

Comment from American Conservative Republican;

Time for Mills to stop wasting his money and Martin to get a real job.

In the short time that she has been Governor, Brewer has done more then past Arizona governors have done in one or two full terms in office.

Others may talk about doing this and that when they are elected, Brewer makes things happen. She has reduced the size of state government by making unpopular budget cuts and state employee layoffs and also had the political courage to ask the people to help Arizona with a one penny sales tax. Sadly, Mills, Martin, and many other Republicans did not trust the people to make this decision and were unwilling to give a penny for Arizona.

Others may talk tough on illegal immigration, Brewer takes action. Against threats and protests, she signed SB 1070 and did the job the Feds won't do.

Governor Brewer is the most dedicated Pro-Life governor in Arizona history. She has Signed; HB2400the "Partial Birth Abortion Ban," Signed HB2564 the "Abortion Informed Consent Act," Signed SB1175 "Prohibition of abortions performed by non-physicians," and Signed HB2616 "Jesse's Law Part 2," which protects a patient while any legal issues are being resolved in lieu of an Advanced Medical Directive.

While Jan Brewer was defending the right to life, Dean Martin nominated Lori Klein, a Pro-Choice Wish List contributor and convicted DUI to fill a vacancy in the Arizona Senate from LD 6.

Brewer supported traditional marriage by prohibiting unmarried domestic partners of state employees from receiving state employee benefits.

Buz Mills may be a big contributor to the NRA but Brewer protected the Second Amendment rights of Arizonans by expanding gun owners rights to carry firearms.

This is not the time to oppose a good, strong, conservative, Republican governor with the guts to govern, this is the time to unite behind Jan Brewer and help her advance the conservative Republican philosophy of less government, the Right to Life, immigration control, family values and secure the right to bear arms.

This is time for all conservative Republicans to support our governor, Jan Brewer.

AZ SEN Candidate DUI confirmed.

By Bob Haran,
American Conservative Republican

A rumor that Arizona Senate hopeful Lori Klein of LD 6 had a DUI arrest has been circulating in political circles for the past couple of weeks but not confirmed and therefore not published by the American Conservative Republican (ACR) until now.

Last week an anonymous comment to ACR claimed, "Klein has a DUI," the following link was also provided, http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/JusticeCourtCases/caseSearchResults.asp?lastName=Klein&FirstName=Lori&bName=

This link is for Maricopa County, Justice Court Case History and included the names of 9 parties named Lori Klein. Of the 9 parties named Lori Klein, two had a date of birth in 1970, five had DOB: N/A, and two had the exact DOB as the Lori Klein who was nominated by Arizona Treasurer Dean Martin and endorsed by CD 3 congressional candidate Sam Crump and LD 6 Representative Carl Seel to fill the vacancy in the Arizona Senate caused by the resignation of Pam Gorman, who is also a candidate for congress from CD 3.

The information that was available via the internet did not include the specific charges or the disposition of the case, but it did provide the case number, case type and which justice court adjudicated the case. One case was classified "Criminal Traffic" and the other as "Civil Traffic." I decided to investigate the Criminal Traffic, adjudicated at Dreamy Drew Justice Court, Case Number TR2008-162210.

After obtaining a copy of the court records for case number TR2008-162210, In the Matter of State of Arizona V. Lori Agnes Klein, it was verified that Ms. Klein was arrested on 10/02/2008 and charged with violating: ARS 28-701.02A3, (EXCEED 85 MPH); ARS 28-1381A1, (DUI-LIQUOR/DRUGS/VAPORS/COMBO); ARS 28-1381A2, (DUI W/BAC OF .08 OR MORE). Court records indicate that the first two charges against Ms. Klein, who was represented by former Arizona Representative David Burnell Smith, were dismissed but a plea of guilty was entered for the last charge of DUI W/BAC OF .08 OR MORE.

Court records indicate that Ms. Klein was sentenced to: 3 years probation; 1 day in jail, which was served in the Town of Paradise Valley Jail on 8/17/09; Alcohol Education, which was completed on 10/28/2009 with DUI Education, Treatment & Counseling with Court Support Services; Ignition Interlock Device per MVD order and; Penalty Fees totaling $1,460.00, which was paid on 8/10/2009.

Klein was one of the three individuals, along with Dave Braswell and myself, nominated by the Legislative District 6 Republican Committee on February 1st to fill the vacancy in the Arizona Senate caused by Gorman's resignation. Braswell was selected by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors as Gorman's replacement.

Prior to her being nominated with the strong support of Sam Crump, Representative Carl Seel, and Arizona Treasurer Dean Martin, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, it was discovered that Ms. Klein had contributed money to the pro-abortion WISH list.

Klein, who is not a precinct committeemen, has indicated that she will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Arizona Senate in 2010 from LD 6.

Senator Dave Braswell has indicated that he will also run for a full term in 2010 and newly appointed Representative Amanda Reeve along with LD 6 Precinct Committeemen Steve Kaiser, who were both nominated by the LD 6 precinct committeemen to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Crump's resignation from the Arizona House, have indicated that they will be running for the two Arizona House seats from District 6 in 2010.

Why Martin, Crump, Seel and others are supporting Klein is unclear.

DAVE BRASWELL APPOINTED TO AZ SENATE

By Bob Haran;

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors met this morning in an informal meeting and selected Republican Legislative District 6 Committee Chairman Dave Braswell to fill the vacancy in the Arizona Senate from District 6 caused by the resignation of Pam Gorman, who is running for Congress to fill the open seat caused by the incumbent Congressmen John Shadegg's announcement that he will not run in 2010.

At a special election held by the LD 6 GOP Committee on February 1, Braswell was the first of three to be nominated by the elected Republican Precinct Committeemen of the District. Of the three candidates running for the nomination, Braswell, myself and Lori Klein, Braswell was the only candidate nominated on the first ballot with 64% of the total vote, ( 50% plus one was necessary for nomination ).

On the second ballot, I beat out Klein with 65.6% of the total vote to Klein's 59.6%, both myself and Klein were therefore also nominated. Braswell, having been nominated on the first ballot was not a candidate on the second.

As a now former opponent to Braswell for the appointment, I have no regrets and believe that both the Committeemen form District 6 and the Board of Supervisors made a good selection. Dave Braswell is a good man and should make a fine Arizona Senator. I may have told people too many times that I would have no problem with Dave Braswell as my senator and that is exactly what I got.

I wish Dave success in his new position.

Klein was being backed by candidate for governor and Arizona Treasurer Dean Martin, who preceded Gorman as the LD 6 state senator, Sam Crump, who resigned on February 1 from the Arizona House to run for the U.S. House and LD 6 Representative Carl Seel.

Klein ran into some major problems in her quest for the senate appointment. The first problem was that not being a Republican Precinct Committeemen in LD 6 and having never run for office before, she was unknown by the District 6 Committee. In addition, having never attended a district meeting or making her intentions known, until the last moment, she came on the scene late and was considered an outsider by many of the rank and file.

She may have faced an even more challenging problem for a Republican when it was discovered by this writer that she had contributed to the pro-abortion Wish List, thou she claims to be pro-life.

The last I heard from Braswell and Klein, they both intend to be candidates for the Republican Nomination for the Arizona Senate from LD 6 in the 2010 primary.

I do not plan on running for the senate in 2010.

IS LORI KLEIN PRO-LIFE OR PRO-ABORTION

IS LORI KLEIN PRO-LIFE OR PRO-ABORTION

By Bob Haran;

Is the Lori Klein, the mystery candidate for the Arizona Senate from District 6 pro-life or pro-abortion? I have no way of reading her heart or mind so I can only go on the facts.

Many of Ms Kleins supporters, anonymously of course, have accused me of telling lies about Lori Klein. No lies have been told about Ms. Klein, only the facts have been reported. As Harry Truman said, "I just tell the truth on them and they think it is hell."

These are the facts concerning Lori Klein regarding the issue of abortion.

FACT 1-
According to Schedule C2 - Individual contributors of the Post-Primary Election Report covering 8/19/2004 to 9/27/2004 for WISH LIST, The (Women in the Senate and House) on page for a Lori Klein, Address: ( I will not publish her home address) same address as the Lori Klein candidate LD 6, Anthem, AZ 85086, Occupation: CONSULTANT,SELF on 9/10/2004 contributed $65.00 to WISH LIST.

Those of you from district 6 might remember some years back, around 2004, a candidate for district chairman was eviscerated by some of the same people now supporting Lori Klein, such as Dean Martin, for making a contribution to WISH LIST, the only difference was that candidate didn't claim that she didn't know WISH LIST was a pro-abortion fund to elect pro-abortion Republican women.

FACT 2, WISH LIST is a well known pro-abortion group, at least by those of us in the pro-life community and the Republican party. There Mission, according to their web site http://www.thewishlist.org/ is,

OUR MISSION "The WISH LIST raises funds to identify, support and elect pro-choice Republican women at all levels of government - local, state and national."

There Vision is, also according to the WISH LIST web site,

OUR VISION for the 21st Century, "Our vision is to create a powerful force of Political Partners whose financial support ensures the continuous election of pro-choice Republican women to positions at all levels of government across America."

Now Ms Klein with over 30 years political fund raising and consulting experience claims she didn't know WISH LIST was a pro-abortion organization, somehow she got it mixed up with the charitable Make a wish foundation.

Ms. Klein, my job with the New York City Police Department was to interview crime victims and to try to ascertain the truth, frankly, your explanation of why you made your contribution to WISH LIST is like a deer in the headlights. Just like the auto theft suspect caught driving a stolen vehicle and when asked where he got the car claims he bought it from some guy named Mike and he doesn't know where Mike lives or works or his phone number. Your story is a deer in the head lights story. After 30 years in politics, you didn't know WISH LIST was a pro-abortion group, I find that incredulous. You would be better off to tell the truth or remain silent, anything you say may be used against you in the court of public opinion.

Its interesting that thou Ms. Klein claims to be pro-life and is a big contributor to political causes, there is no record of her ever giving a penny to Arizona Right to Life.

Lori Klein shouldn't worry however, her supporters will not let the truth get in the way of their support.

PS. When the American Conservative Republican does publish wrong information we will not hide the fact but will readily admit to our mistake on line. There are no errors in the post, only people that can't handle the truth.

PRO-ABORTION CANDIDATE SEEKS TO FILL SENATE VACANCY

By Bob Haran;

A candidate for appointment to the Arizona Senate to fill the vacancy caused by Pamela Gorman's resignation is found to be not the "Proven Conservative" she claims to be, unless being pro-abortion is now considered Conservative. Lori Klein, who listed her political views on face book as Libertarian/Conservative, seems to be more Libertarian then Conservative.

When I first heard that a Lori Klein was interested in the LD 6 Senate seat my first question was, who is Lori Klein. She is not a Precinct Committeemen from LD 6, not active in the district, never been to a district meeting that I know of. So who is this person Lori Klein?

Time to do some old fashioned research. What did I discover about this Lori Klein, whom both LD 6 Representatives Sam Crump and Carl Seel have been pushing as a replacement to Pam Gorman, a conservative Republican and certainly pro-life. I discovered she is what we conservatives used to describe as a RINO, a Republican In Name Only.

Oh, Ms Klein is for less government, what Republican isn't? Lori Klein is also for the right of a woman to kill her unborn child and backs it up with her money.

Looking at where people put their money politically can tell a lot about where they stand politically. Take for example Lori Klein, according to the Arizona Secretary of State's web site, on 9/10/04, she contributed to WISH LIST (Women In The Senate and House). On the WISH LIST web site, http://www.thewishlist.org/ they describe their MISSION with these words, "The WISH LIST raises funds to identify, support and elect PRO-CHOICE Republican women at all levels of government - local, state and national" Under the title "OUR VISION for the 21st Century" WISH LIST says, "Our vision is to create a powerful force of Political Partners whose financial support ensures the continuous election of PRO-CHOICE Republican women to positions at all levels of government across America." Sounds like a very militant PRO-ABORTION group to me.

You can also find Ms. Klein's contribution to the Pro-Abortion movement by going to the WISH LIST post-primary Election Report for 2004, her name is on page 4 just above Beth Meyer of Planned Parenthood.

So why is Sam Crump endorsing this supporter of abortion, saying that he, "believes her to be a strong conservative voice for our district and our state." Could it be Crump is supporting her because she owns a consulting firm specializing in fund-raising. By the way, Sam Crump will be resigning from the Arizona House to run for Congress.

Seems like some people will believe anything, if the price is right.
