Taos Police continue probe into political sign fracas<http://www.taosnews.com/news/article_4cf96cb8-ac19-11e1-8f00-0019bb2963f4.html> According to the police report filed the same day, Eighth Judicial District Court judge candidate Ernestina Cruz was having a meet and greet event at Plaza de Colores. At the same time, across the street, Cunnyngham and his wife were returning home from dinner to find several of Cruz campaign signs in front of his property. As in the police report, Cunnyngham confirmed that three men approached him and demanded that he replace the signs where theyd been staked. Cunnyngham said he resisted. We were setting them in the car and wed planned to call whoever they belonged to, Cunnyngham said. I told them I thought it was very distasteful to put these signs in front of my property. At that point, a younger man came across the street and again told Cunnyngham to put the signs back. When Cunnyngham refused, the man pounded me in the chest, Cunnyngham said. While Cunnyngham says he knows a few of the people involved, The Taos News policy is not to identify alleged offenders until they have been charged or implicated by law enforcement. ... At the time of the incident, Cruz denied having any knowledge of anyone involved in the incident, saying that it was unfortunate that Cunnyngham removed signs that did not belong to him. What followed was far from a fair fight, the Cunnynghams say. Cunnyngham was later checked out by a doctor who treated him for cuts and bruises, injuries to his mouth and a concussion, Cunnyngham said. They just attacked him, all three of them, Joni Cunnyngham said. Someone was keeping me and my son from getting to them. Democrat-Backed Group Pressures Wisconsinites With Voting Records<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303830204577446353605396764.html?mod=googlenews_wsj> A Wisconsin political advocacy group with ties to the Democratic Party and Big Labor is circulating pamphlets to state residents revealing their neighbors' names, addresses, and voting histories. The campaign is an apparent attempt to pressure residents in the Madison area, which is overwhelmingly Democratic, to vote in Tuesday's gubernatorial recall election. The group is called the Greater Wisconsin Political Fund, a sister organization of the Greater Wisconsin Committee. The GWC does not reveal its donors, but a report from the Center for Public Integrity notes that it received a $900,000 contribution from the Democratic Governors Association in May. It also received $500,000 from the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union. ... University of Wisconsin law professor Ann Althouse received this mailing from the labor-aligned Greater Wisconsin Political Fund last week, according to a post on her blog: Information on individuals' voting histories is publicly available, but Althouse said the flyer "may be the most disgusting thing I have ever received in the mail." "This is an effort to shame and pressure people about voting, and it is truly despicable," Althouse added. If we can't win you with ideas, we'll just beat you, intimidate you, shame you, or something else. It's going to be one hell of an election season.
