News Blaster

Yesterday before all was deleted on City Desk, Rees said that BFrankdc was in truth Martin Austermuhle and that Luke Wilbur has known this fact all along. Rees said a while ago BFrank posted here a claim that he and Rees crossed paths earlier one morning that the face he remembers was proven by a look at several pictures but a very recent one of Austermuhle to be that of BFrank. This is the picture of Austermuhle that Rees said was the face he recalls confronting: http://www.dcist.com/attachments/dcist_mar...Austermuhle.jpg So is Austermuhle the trouble maker behind a lot of things? This all seems like a lot of fun better than a spy thriller.

Maybe the candidates should be concerned with the sanity of Aglue who thinks all posters are Mr Rees which they are not. Mr Rees has everywhere pointed out his people are volunteers which means he has loyalist unlike other candidates who have no loyalists and have to pay them money. Mr Rees so far has the better campaign because none of his rivals with their so called big $$$$ has been seen anywhere other than maybe one or two yard signs every half mile. Get real people you are obviously so jealous of Rees it stiunks that you cannot look at all the candidates with an open mind. I can as I take the time to see what each has to offer and have yet to conclude who would be best.

I assure you I am not but believe what you want to. I am just looking around to see what others are saying about each of the candidates and nobody here is talking about the others.

You are probably right.

Then why would a candidate who already had I think the third most amount of money need to hold another fundraiser?

I think the bio I read was probably his current family not the other 5! Lol!

Rumor was spreading around today that three of the ward 3 candidates have spent all their money and are now looking for more contributors. Those candidates are suppose to be Sam Brooks who has not been seen on the campaign trail in over a month, Robert Gordon the same and Cathy Wiss. DCist reports today that Robert Gordon will hold a fund raiser in the hopes of replenishing his war chest. Read http://www.dcist.com/archives/2006/04/18/t..._m.php#comments Also rumor has it that Erik Gaull and Bill Rice will be coughing up half their war chests for their up-coming kick-offs. DCist mentioned Rees as a dark horse but yet Rees from what I can see is seen more on the streets of our ward than all other candidates combined. Did the others blow their wad too fast on fancy kick-offs, fancy campaign literature, internet ads and more? ANY COMMENTS PEOPLE?

Do not know who that could be as no such name appeared on the Rees bio I read.

Based upon some of the postings I have seen against the backdrop of what I read this is Rees family: Wife named Mindy Son named Jason Daughters named Antonetta and Anita Foster daughter named Nikki Plus one sister Born Silicy, Italy Raised New York City & San Juan Puerto Rico Age 51

The only link if you want to call it that Team Rees has ever done is the fact that his campaign literature is the only stuff anybody can see when you travel around the ward. Nobody else has really been out there. Would you call that a link sort of say?

Truthseeker I understood what you said but what I was asking for was an opinion that was not coming across so full of bias and more objectively said. It seems that you and others present facts that are so false or out of touch and that does not help us in drawing accurate conclusions and acting on them. I fail to see any of Mr Rees opponents offering anything better and I wonder if they are capable of doing so. This is not to say that Mr Rees is the best choice but nobody is offering better. Is this to say we have a bunch of bores to chose from?

What is missing?

You are probably right as none of our papers have really said a whole lot about the local ward races other than a few lines on some back page and probably will be too busy covering the mayoral race as that is what people want to read about.

Mr Gaull certainly forgot he was debating a lady.

Would you like to translate that into English?

I base my claim on the fact that the City Paper did one story on Mr Rees and they did another one that is in the can to be published later showing him in action on the streets and it is only because they find his style different.

Truthseeker such creatures exist.

I can sort of agree that Mr Gaull is not a nice man.

Mr Rees mind is locked in the 1960s.

Both Dr. Griffiths and IDC are listed at 3100 20th Street NE. Mr Rees does work for IDC and this Thursday thru Saturday Mr Rees will be attending the 2006 DC Dental Society Convention at the new Convention Center as the official representative for IDC where Mr Rees will be lobbying all dental workers on his campaign. You might want to go and see it yourselves.

Loose Lips (James Jones) wiped it all out. LL favors Rees.

This is a bit strange because Mr Rees has made it clear in certain circles that if he was elected and confronted any legislation that was pro-gay he would obstain from the vote and allow the matter to be decided by the twelve other council members. When Rees was asked why, he said what has the gay community ever done for me and said no more leaving me with unanswered questions why he would walk up the middle but not commit either way.

The only part of Mr Rees platform I do agree with is the part concerning the tax issue of increasing our deduction levels and lowering our taxes over a period of time. Mr Rees will certainly score big in the minds of voters on this subject matter and none of his political rivals have even told us what they will do to address voter anger over the tax related issues. Otherwise, Mr Rees platform is well crafted but I doubt he will be able to achieve most of it as council members from the poorer wards will see it all as favoring the upper middle class and an extension of the Williams agenda.

Mr Rees does not have any brothers just one sister from a news bulletin I read recently.
