Longmont Report

Benker and Longmont Council Caught in Ethics Violation

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE - UNCONFIRMED RUMOR: LONGMONT ATTORNEY TO WITHDRAW OVER CONFLICT! In response to our story, someone sent us this letter that was fired off to the City of Longmont earlier today. We have also received an unconfirmed email from a city employee that Longmont's counsel has ADMITTED THE CONFLICT. It doesn't look good for the Bobbleheads!

WE REPORT, YOU DERIDE - Benker's Tax-Funded War against Firestone is on, and it's already getting dirty. It appears that the City Council has placed itself in somewhat of a quandary, by hiring a lawyer who formerly worked for a developer in town, to fight the City of Firestone's Master Plan on a related property.

We're still trying to figure this mess out, but our legal expert on staff says that Benker's Bloc will have to stand down on this one. For some hilarious examples of Benker Bloc Bufoonery, go to www.WRONGMONT.com .

Issues like this are why Longmont citizens MUST fight the anti-free speech proposals at TONIGHT'S City Council meeting!

Thanks to the concerned citizen who sent this in!

Benker to Special Election loser Juday: Let's curb free speech in Longmont

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE - TIMES CALL HAMMERS ANTI-FREE SPEECH EFFORT!!!

Karen Benker is known for throwing temper tantrums when her attempts to circumvent Roberts Rules of Order don't work out, as you can see here in this video.

But hey, you gotta give the woman credit for having what they don't sell at Bruce's Bar anymore. Never satisfied with keeping her chosen enemies out of any civic service positions, Benker is now set to squelch our free speech rights. In a ploy to shut down dissent among Longmont's taxpayers (like maybe about the new War on Firestone), Councilman Karen Benker had a private talk with January election loser Richard Juday, assuring support for new, draconian restrictions on free speech.

That's the report coming from an unnamed source in Longmont, and if true, could be the thread that unravels the Benker Bloc's iron-fisted control of our City Council. Who knows, maybe Mayor Roger "Lap-Dog" Lange would even grow a spine as a result of the latest Benker scandal?

Juday, whose stellar campaign was notable for many things, including this brilliant idea to track Wal-Mart shoppers by license plate, originally brought the anti-free speech proposal before the Longmont Council last month, and it is now on the agenda for tomorrow's city council meeting at 7PM at 350 Kimbark. The diabolical plan is to slip Longmont's new domestic spying program past unwitting constituents in the wake of what should prove to be a spirited debate about the Council's War on Firestone.

LET'S STOP BENKER'S  POWER GRAB, OR YOUR RIGHT TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS AND MY RIGHT TO OPERATE THIS WEBSITE WILL BE STRIPPED! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Analysis of Richard "no donations" Juday's shady campaign donations and soft-money slush fund

A funny thing happened on the way to a non-partisan City Council election...The Boulder County left-wing nut machine got fired up and they told their friends and so on,and so on, and so on. Well, we looked up "non-partisan" Juday's donors, and who THEY donated to (Download juday_donors_as_of_1807_in_excel_copy.pdf ), and it's obvious he's a tool of the Boulder Democrat machine.

First let's congratulate all these apparent MENSA members from out of town who donated.  Then, look at all the Longmont Demoncrat leadership who took the time to funnel cash to Juday. Funny, since RIGHT HERE on his website Juday promised not to take contributions (thanks to Stephanie at www.takebacklongmont.blogspot.com for saving his deleted page)...

I wonder if they took advantage of that convenient paypal donation link at Juday's "soft money" website:  whatsinitforlongmont.com (by that sniveling ninny hack, Doug Wray)??? And where's all that slush fund money going, Senor Juday? Campaign finance inquiry, anyone?

Here's the deal on the out-of-state donors:

Gilmer, Patricia MD - Olympia, WA; Turnbull, Harold - Fallbrook, CA; Beltz, Anne - Boulder, CO; Voss, Janice - Houston, TX; Daiuto, Brian - Palo Alto, CA; Zimmerman, Claire W - Houston; Severson, Bob - Denver, CO (?)

AND FINALLY, what about this coincidence? Juday's campaign war chest -- you know, the campaign cash he said he wouldn't take -- is being funded by NO LESS THAN 80% of the new Longmont Democrat Leadership - not bad, Dick!

The following officers were elected to serve in 2008:
Marilyn Hughes-President - JUDAY DONOR
Bob Roy- Vice President - JUDAY DONOR
Jack Wolfe-Secretary - JUDAY DONOR
Bob Norris-Treasurer (must have missed the memo!)
Pat Davis-Member at Large - JUDAY DONOR

Finally, let's take a look at the other campaigns Juday's Democrat donors  -- oops, I mean, "non-partisan paragons of the community" are funding...

Richard Juday's Already-Broken Campaign Promises

UPDATED 1-16-08: Now, we expect politicians who get into office to break their promises, especially when it has to do with spending. The only ones worse than Republicans at this are Democrats. However, it's priceless when a candidate can't even wait until Election Day to start breakin' his own word and takin ' money he promised not to - but here's old Richard Juday doing JUST THAT (click for .pdf of his campaign finance report from last week) and Download juday_donors_as_of_1807_in_excel_copy.pdf to find out who his donors also support!

Check out this Longmont Times-Call story quote: "Juday said he also wouldn’t accept political party organizations’ contributions to his campaign, adding that “I can’t imagine that they’d be making any.”  Again, funny how 80% of the Boulder County Democrats Executive Board donated to him right after that.

I simply quote YET ANOTHER DELETED PAGE OF JUDAY'S WEBSITE (linked here in Google's Cache, and saved on http://takebacklongmont.blogspot.com/ just in case Dick decides to complain to Google for helping us bust him):

"This is a political questionnaire and my response to it. It was put out by the Apartment Association of Metro Denver and the Multifamily Housing Alliance. I told them that I do not accept monetary contributions, that I am funding my campaign out of pocket. Should I gain their endorsement that’d be fine with me, but I don’t know that they have picked candidate(s) to back as yet."

WELL, here's a list of Juday's donors that shows you EXACTLY the kind of people he runs with and who else they donate to (click pdf to download a copy). They are Mickey Mouse Club roll call of Democrat operatives, local extremists and advocates of government control of our lives. 

Their humanistic goals are their God, and those goals just can't be reached with all of us unenlightened folks who like to make all our own decisions, willy-nilly, without considering the good of the Collective. YOU MUST BE REEDUCATED, DON'T YOU SEE????
