Good morning.
Once again…I’m gonna to go a little loco today, and once again, I don’t mean crazy. :) I mean loco as in “local”, as in “California”, my home state.
I watched the debate last night between Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman. Did any of you catch it? I just wanted to wipe that smirk off of Whitman’s face.
Today at 1:00 pm is the final face off between Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina for the U.S. Senate race. I missed the last one; this one I’m not going to miss (I HOPE). Here’s a little reminder from the CarlyExposed team:
Dear Friend,
Tomorrow, Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina will face off in the second and possibly the final debate of the California U.S. Senate race.
Hosted by KPCC-FM (Pasadena Public Radio) and moderated by KPCC’s Patt Morrison and Gabriel Lerner, Metro Editor for La Opinion, the debate will air LIVE ON KPCC-FM for one hour, beginning at 1:00PM Pacific Time.
For this debate, KPCC is accepting voters’ questions for the candidates – so if you have a question you’d like Carly to answer, you can call the KPCC message line at 626-583-5250. You’ll need to leave your name, where you’re from, and your contact information so they can verify that you are who you say you are, but many voter questions are sure to make it on the air during the debate.
Of course, the entire CarlyExposed.com team will be listening – and listening closely – during this debate. So even if you are not able to tune in to KPCC-FM tomorrow, we invite you to join us for some live blogging on Wednesday from 1:00-2:00PM PDT at CarlyExposed.com.
We’ll be fact checking and hopefully we’ll provide some insightful commentary about what Carly has to say, and how she performs in this forum.
Consistent with our mission to shine a bright light on the real records of conservative Republicans, we expect to help expose Carly for who she really is — a failed CEO, a diva with little understanding of the day-to-day struggles of average Californians, a job killer, and a tool of her Wall Street corporate pals, like the U.S. Chamber, the Koch Brothers and her significant donors from the Oil & Gas industry – the same folks who are funding the campaign to Pass Proposition 23 and kill off California’s progress on global warming.
We’ll be watching closely to see if Carly tries to amplify the anti-Boxer message in her current TV advertising – attacking Barbara’s performance in a Senate hearing in order to deflect attention from Carly’s own record of failure. If she does, as the debate goes on, remember these important facts:
- Carly was a failure as CEO of Hewlett-Packard. She was fired from that job, where she killed 30,000 jobs, shipped thousands of American jobs overseas, and drove down the company’s stock price. For more info, watch our video “Carly the Job Killer.”
- Carly is being helped in her campaign by some of the most extreme and shadowy elements of the political right. Karl Rove’s “American Crossroads GPS,” dumped $1 million in CA on a TV ad attacking Boxer. The U.S. Chamber, The Club for Growth and lots of Carly’s other corporate pals are planning pro-Carly ad campaigns as well. The anti-gay National Organization for Marriage is funding a $1 million program to boost Fiorina among Latino voters, with a statewide bus tour on the road right now.
- The real Carly Fiorina is a right-wing extremist. Carly mocks Boxer’s leadership on climate change as being “worried about the weather.” She’s a darling of the Tea Party movement and says she agrees with them. And, she recently said, “I agree with them.” She also agrees with her close pals Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum. A few weeks ago, the infamous Koch brothers helped sponsor a fundraiser for Fiorina – and these guys have dumped millions into the Tea Party nationally and of extremist causes and candidates from coast to coast.
Armed with the facts, we will all be much better judges of tomorrow’s proceedings. Then, together, we can shine the light of truth on Carly Fiorina.
Thank you for your help and support.
Sincerely,
The CarlyExposed Team
