A friend from upstate NY sent me this. Playing dirty: Received a postcard just today stressing how I should vote for my congressional district’s “Green candidate” over the “Moderate Democrat.” The political ad was paid for by “Fight for Tomorrow” and “not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.” If you look up Fight for Tomorrow, you will find that it’s a PAC based out of Texas affiliated with Conservatives/Republicans. Its largest donor, if you look a little deeper, is Howard Cox, partner of venture capital firm Greylock Partners. If you search further, you’ll find that Howard Cox last year contributed “an eye-popping” $500,000 to the New York State Republican Party, of which his brother Ed Cox is chairman. Fight for Tomorrow in New York for my district has a local address in a strip mall next to a Moe’s Southwest Grill. Their website is protected (read: hidden ownership) by GoDaddy’s Domains by Proxy. Just a little alert about divide-and-conquer strategies.

Don’t want this to get buried either: Here is Howard Cox pitching venture capital to Russians just 5 years ago — https://youtu.be/7h3B6JXkbyc

Letter to the Editor, East Hampton Star, Nov 2nd 2017

While walking our roads I saw a few election signs. I’m going to speak specifically about the two Republican candidates. Their slogan was something about transparency and putting politics aside for people.

Now to me this seems sarcastic. The Republican Party is the party of Trump. And Trump has revealed very, very clearly what the Republican Party is for. The Republican Party is the champion of misogyny, the hate of brown and black people, the subjugation and punishment of poor people, the outright attack on the sick and disabled, war, complete protection of the top 1 percent who have most of the wealth in the country, the K.K.K. and its splinter groups that are veiled as nationalism, Christianity as interpreted by white men as the only religion that matters, the destruction of public schools, the persecution of L.G.B.Q.T. members of our society, and one other thing — a complete and utter attack and threat to the security and safety of all Americans and our allies.

Look at what is happening in this country, this isn’t greatness. If you believe that this is the way a great leader governs, you need to read European and American history. Search for World War II and its causes: That is very basic and simple. I’m sure I forgot a few things, but these are the issues that pop into my mind when I think of the Republican Party. I’m not a fan and will never vote for a Republican candidate.

Sincerely, ANN CUNNINGHAM
