Veterans In Politics ALERT and CALL TO ACTION (please)
A Message from J. Sage Bocook Auxiliary Director for Veterans In Politics International (VIPI)
STRIKE ONE: As you know North Las Vegas Mayoral Candidate William Robinson was scheduled to be on Veterans In Politics Talk Show and didnt bother to show up or to call with an excuse for not showing up at the studio as scheduled. Robinson was scheduled by VIP President/Director Steve Sanson who not only scheduled around Robinsons campaign schedule, but also provided a courtesy reminder call several days in advance of the show. Again I repeat that William Robinson of North Las Vegas DID NOT show up and did not call with an excuse for not showing up.
STRIKE TWO: Robinson, and all candidates of Clark County Nevada, was invited to participate in the VIP Candidate Endorsement Interviews. Some candidates traveled over 2 hours to try to earn the prestigious VIP Endorsement. But Robinson, who by now is well seasoned at AVOIDING Veterans, did not show up, did not call, did not send a representative, did not provide any literature about his campaign. Robinsons Campaign Manager Jim Ferrence was also notified.
HERES STRIKE THREE: I happen to live in North Las Vegas; I have received a campaign mailer from Robinsons campaign. It says it is paid for by the Committee To Elect William Robinson, 2417 Mango Bay Avenue, North Las Vegas Nv 89031 with a phone number of 639-6401. Yeppers, I CALLED THE NUMBER. A man answered the phone with Hello To confirm that I had reached the right number I asked Is this the Committee To Elect William Robinson? The man did not answer my question nope instead he asked Are you a voter? I replied that I live in North Las Vegas and I am a Registered Voter The man then introduces himself This is Councilman Robinson I inform him that I would rather not receive his mailings because he doesnt act like he supports Veterans or Veteran Issues.
He tells me how he supports Veteran Issues more than most Veterans do because he had a nephew in Desert Storm who got gassed and is now on a list for a heart transplant, and that he has another nephew in the war now. And he goes on about other family members who had served including an ex-brother-in-law. He did not refer to a personal military service just to others. He goes on to freely provide me with a nerve to hit by saying that I get angry when people accuse me of not supporting Veterans
{oooooooooo yeah I want to make him angry now after all, he did tell me what makes him angry}
Then I say This is Sage Bocook, I am one of the Auxiliary Director of Veterans In Politics and co-host of Veterans in Politics Radio Show and I am so glad to have a moment to speak to you directly because, I want to know why you didnt show up for your scheduled interview on our radio show after scheduling & confirming with Steve Sanson, and why you didnt come to our endorsement interviews
Firstly, he plays that he did not know about being scheduled for the radio show. He said he met that black guy if thats Steve SaMson thats who youre talking about at an event and that they talked about the show briefly but that Robinson didnt schedule to be on the show. He goes on to say that if he had scheduled to be on the show he would have been there.
I interrupt to say You not only scheduled, you also confirmed a couple days before the show that youd be at the studio
He comes back with I dont know anything about that. Somebodys not telling the truth.
I chime in with I know Steve Sanson and have known him for several years to be an honest and selfless person, all I know about you is that youre a lying politician.
William Robinson does not deserve to be Mayor by entitlement as he thinks he does. I would like to suggest that you make use of his phone number and help him understand that he does not deserve the vote of Veterans. I hope you enjoy your questioning of this guy and that you will post dialog from your conversations for the public to read too.
PS can you inform all of your family, neighbors, coworkers, and friends for me please.
