Is Andrew really sitting around worrying about online polls? Shades of Bill Winter’s 2006 campaign…..
But after looking at the website’s banner, I think the larger question is: Does Mike Miles seriously think he’s Gandhi?
If you can’t freep the ColoradoPols front page election, then try another contest. Triguardian would be proud. We would all be proud, since we are all Triguardian.
was founded by Romanoff supporters for Romanoff supporters to steal health reform supporters away from Michael Bennet. Go to their website. The group title originally was a name used by Mike Miles’ campaign years ago, and resurrected by former JeffCo Dem Chair Dick Barkey, who is a rabid Romanoff supporter. Barkey sits on the Be The Change board of directors.
“Be the Change” decided to have a health care conference, using the legitimate resources and participation of good people from Health Care for All Colorado, on a date when they knew Senator Bennet would not be available. Their fliers went out after the Bennet office told them the Senator would not be able to attend, saying “Meet the Candidates Andrew Romanoff and Michael Bennet”. Later, they sent out corrections saying, “Senator Bennet declined the invitation.
Pathetic.
The only thing worse than desperation is using good people like a legitimate group like HCAC.
…um, didn’t some Indian guy say something similar once?

I got an email from a board member today saying he was a Bennet supporter and there were other Bennet supporters over at Be The Change, too. He said I wasn’t being fair to Dick Barkey, who in his words “tried very hard” to keep the event from being a Romanoff campaign event.
If that is the case, Mr. Barkey,
“I apologize sincerely.”
Hope you are reading this.
I can’t seem to find it in my e-mail. Which makes sense that they wouldn’t send two e-mails to their entire list in one day. But, it just makes me wonder who the targets of this e-mail actually are… Maybe RSB ended up on some “rapid response” list, was ID’d as an AR supporter somehow, or he got his hands on the BTC e-mail list (which should be a story and is likely illegal) – either way a sign of sloppy data management.
But, if it is the case that he sent this to supporters, then why are we talking about it? Of course he is going to work within his supporters to win an endorsement poll – everyone does this for money, volunteers.
But, it would likely be illegal for him to have access to an NPO or private group’s e-mail list unless there was some sort of exchange (i.e buying the list)…
With that said, we don’t know who this e-mail went to or anything. So, it would be pushing it(but probably completely appropriate for this site!) if we were to read too much in to that, yet.
If he had “access” to an email list, it’s likely that he was given access. It’s also likely that someone who received the email passed it along. Why would you presume some nefarious plot? Sounds a bit hysterical.
We’ll visit you in the big house, we promise. You will know us by our “Triguardian” name tags.
And no, it wouldn’t be illegal–for Romanoff anyway. The FEC doesn’t consider e-mail addresses to have monetary value. The IRS does, so it could be an issue for the NPO, but that’s always easily remedied by an exchange of value (such as an equal number of addresses, or an enhanced list).
Just got the e-mail in my inbox. You’d have to ask the Romanoff campaign how it got there, because I just signed up through the website like eeeeeverybody else.
Writing about an official campaign e-mail, and thinking that someone rigging an internet poll for no reason other than to say “Check out this kickass endorsement” is silly–where do I get off?
Oh crap, I think I hear the police coming to haul me away…
You know, the guy who broke the state party rules.
The website indicates they re-activated in 2008. Check out their “open records request page” and their calendar. The only event past or present is this conference, it looks like.
