I appreciate the help Jeannie getting this issue out there...people need to know about it. My thoughts;
The point that I wanted all of us to see is that even though the event was billed as a North Lake Tea Party event IN SUPPORT OF Arizona and supposedly open to all of us to show our support...in fact the Sullivan campaign desired to only show that they were the only ones who supported Arizona. They wanted to show that “picture” SO BAD that they attempted to deceive viewers in their filming of that event for her campaign. For some reason they could not leave the crowd “as it was”. Sure they can call it “their artistic licenses to do the editing”...but in reality they are trying to manipulate the truth to their advantage. That is unfortunate, that is unAmerican, and that is what the American people are tired of.
Concerning the fact that the North Lake Tea Party would only allow “Icaucus Endorsed” candidates to speak at the Support Arizona Rally:
Dan did look at the ICaucus “pledge” and supports it in principal but Dan found that there were requirements that a Candidate was “required” to follow or the person could not vote for a bill. For that reason, Dan decided not to try to get an endorsement from Icaucus. Dan would not let any organization control his vote. Nice pledge...but it does not now, or ever will, replace the pledge that Dan took over 30 years ago (as I and all other veterans have taken) to support and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign or domestic... he will better represent ALL folks of District 8 with that pledge, by the use of common sense, and by speaking with his constituents.
The whole issue is unfortunate; I did not appreciate being portrayed as a Sullivan supporter without my permission. This issue reinforces my original decision back in December to fully support Dan Fanelli above ALL OTHER candidates; he is the only veteran running and appears to be one of the more ethical candidates.

John should contact the local papers and let them know about Sullivan’s “artistic license” with the video and send them a copy of the original film. If they will not report on it and even if they do, he should write a letter to the editor of the papers about the incident.
I went to the video site and comments can be left as long as one has a log-in to either google (which I have) or You-Tube. While I don’t think they would allow comments about their dishonest editing of the video to remain for long, maybe enough of them can be made where a few from the Sullivan cult will see for themselves how dishonest their candidate really is.
Shameful for a woman who claim to be upstanding, honest and a patriot. After seeing this I can say she has none of those qualities and if she had an ounce of conscious she should be ashamed of herself. I doubt it’s possible.
