STOP THE CASINO 101 COALITION

2008 June Primary Watch List

WATCH LIST:   The following candidates in the June 2008 Primary in Sonoma County are on a "watch list'.   Candidates are placed on the Watch List for several reasons.  They could overtly pro-casino, or they might want to "mitigate" a casino's impacts instead of fighting.  They may have refused to take a public position on the casino or they could believe that there is nothing they can do.  They may take money from tribes or pro-casino interests.

It is the position of STC101 that candidates and incumbents, whether for state, federal or local office, must be fully informed and passionately opposed to the Rohnert Park casino or any other casino that may be proposed for this region.
 

STAY INFORMED!  Follow these guidelines when making your choice:

Watch what the candidates do, not what they say.

Watch who they are associated with.

Watch who donates money to the candidates and who endorses them.
