"New Voter Concerns May Aid [Judy Feder]"

The Washington Post editorial board may be a bunch of blithering idiots and total shills for Frank Wolf, but many of the reporters are excellent. Take this article, for instance, in today's Washington Post "Loudoun Extra," by Sandhya Somashekhar.

Much has changed since 2006, when Democrat Judy M. Feder made her first, unsuccessful attempt at unseating GOP Rep. Frank R. Wolf in Virginia's diverse and sprawling 10th Congressional District.

The economy has displaced the Iraq war as the nation's most pressing issue. Feder will share the ballot with Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) and former governor Mark R. Warner, two popular candidates likely to drive high Democratic turnout at the polls. And as the cost of medical insurance continues to rise, Feder's credentials as a nationally recognized health-care expert have never been so in demand.

Exactly, much has changed in the 10th district, in Virginia, and in the country since Frank Wolf ambled into Washington nearly 3 decades (!) ago. For instance, the population of Loudoun County ALONE has increased from 57,427 in 1980 to about 280,000 today. That's a nearly 5-fold increase since Frank Wolf was first elected, and most of those new voters are Democrats, as evidenced by both Tim Kaine and Jim Webb carrying the 10th CD in 2005 and 2006, respectively. This year, of course, we're going to see an enormous surge of Obama/Warner voters. The question is, will that be enough - combined with the continuing demographic changes and a much stronger campaign by Judy Feder this year than in 2006 - to push her to victory next Tuesday? We'll find out soon enough.

Meanwhile, as far as the "Loudoun Extra" articles is concerned, it clearly demonstrates that Feder represents a perfectly reasonable alternative to Frank Wolf. It also points out how loooonnnngggg Wolf's been in office, and how Wolf favors the McCain health care plan, which just the other day McCain adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin admitted would provide inferior health care to what they're currently receiving from their employers. It would be hilarious if it weren't so serious. Maybe Frank Wolf can send his staffers out to give Holtz-Eakin a good "caning" or something? Ha

When Congressman Wolf's Goons Attack: Part 2

Gary Lofton is a member of the Frederick County Board of Supervisors. Lofton is a Republican, elected in January 2008, who represents the Back Creek area. Here is what Lofton had to say about the incident the other day, in which he pinned a Judy Feder campaign staffer against the wall of a hotel.

Lofton, a member of the Frederick County Board of Supervisors, denies he pinned Goodman against the wall.

"I was merely trying to engage him in a dialogue that might disengage him from his disrespectful behavior, as well as try to determine if I could help him get an answer to his questions," Lofton said, adding that he offered to buy the young men lunch or coffee to try and talk to them in a calmer setting.

Now remember, Gary Lofton - the guy who is totally in the Feder staffer's (Matt Kent's) face, yelling and badgering him in a threatening manner - is a sitting, elected official on the Frederick County Board of Supervisors. Can you imagine if a Democratic elected county official, let's just say Gerry Connolly for the heck of it, did this to one of...oh, Keith Fimian's staffers? That's right, the Republicans would be going apes***, blaring this to kingdom come.

In sum, the Feder staffers, Matt Kent and Josh Goodman, were simply trying to get answers from Congressman Wolf following a debate, in a public location. Meanwhile, one Wolf staffer - Ben Dutton - assaulted Matt Kent with a cane, while a close Wolf ally - Frederick County Board of Supervisors member Gary Lofton - held Josh Goodman against the wall and also got in Matt Kent's in an extremely aggressive manner, as you can see in the video above. For more, please see the full video (at the bottom of this post), presented simply so that everyone can see that the Feder campaign isn't trying to hide anything here, that all this was sequential, and to give the complete picture of what happened.

The bottom line here: apparently, if you try to ask Frank Wolf questions, his goons verbally and physically assault you while Wolf stands by and does nothing. This is not acceptable behavior for anyone, let alone a member of Congress. After this incident, not to mention his nearly lockstep voting record with George W. Bush, it's time to make Frank Wolf a FORMER Congressman on November 4.

WJLA-TV: "Wolf Aide Raises 'Cane' with Opponent's Videographer"

The Wolf campaign continues to melt down, as the story of his campaign's violence against two Feder staffers spreads from the blogs to the print media to TV. Couldn't have happened to a nicer campaign. Ha.

By the way, I believe more video may very well be coming soon, so stay tuned. :)

Washington Post, Winchester Star Pick Up Wolf Campaign Assault Story

The story of Wolf campaign staffers assaulting Feder staffers has been zipping around the blogosphere. Now, it's hit the "mainstream media" as well. The Washington Post has a story on the front page of the Metro section today, in which - among other things - Frederick County Supervisor Gary Lofton (R), who pinned one Feder staffer against the wall of the Best Western Hotel, claims he was just "trying to reason with him," that he "did not see anyone get struck," and that regardless, the Feder staffers are the ones who should be "absolutely ashamed of themselves" for "getting in the congressman's face."

So, the next time there's a media scrum and reporters are sticking microphones in Frank Wolf's face, can we expect Wolf's hired hands to start assaulting the reporters? And can we expect Wolf's staffers to excuse their criminal behavior by claiming the victims "provoked" their assaults? Just want to be clear about this...

Meanwhile, the Winchester Star reports that the Wolf campaign will NOT be firing Ben Dutton, the man who struck Feder's cameraman with a cane:

Despite calls from the Feder campaign, Dutton will keep his job, Scandling said.

“We are not firing Ben Dutton,” he said. “Ben Dutton is a respected, long-time member of the Winchester community. We are not firing him.”

And, of course, the classic final line.

Wolf could not be reached for comment Monday.

Of course not!

P.S. By the way, Benjamin Dutton has been on Wolf's staff as a "part time employee" since 2001. Pretty nice gig, though - he has made $180,833 since 2001 as a part-timer. I think the part where he beats people with a cane falls into the "other duties as assigned" category. Ha.

Feder Campaign Calls for Wolf Staffer to be Fired After Assault

From the Feder campaign:

Feder Campaign Calls for Wolf Staffer to be Fired After Assault

McLean, VA-After an incident on Friday, October 24, 2008 in Winchester, VA during which a congressional staffer of Congressman Wolf assaulted a Feder staffer, the campaign is calling for Congressional staffer Benjamin Dutton to be fired immediately.

The Feder campaign is also calling for the Wolf campaign to reveal the identity of the second man in the video who is caught on tape holding a Feder campaign staffer against the wall in a threatening manner.

The Feder campaign believes the following list of questions needs to be answered by Congressman Wolf-and not his campaign staff-publicly:

* Were you aware that the young man had been struck with a cane? Did you see the young man get struck by your staffer a second time?
* What is the identity of the second man in the video who appears to be pinning one of the Feder staffers against the wall?
* Why didn't you say something when you realized there was a young man being held against his will by one of your supporters/volunteers/staffers?


"This whole incident is unfortunate, and we certainly never expected that questions about Congressman Wolf's support of the McCain health care tax would lead to a violent response from the Congressman's staff," said Feder campaign manager Luke McFarland. "The staffer who is responsible for the assault should be fired immediately. And Congressman Wolf himself should give a full account of what happened, not send staffers out to explain this away for him."

And Frank Wolf Does Nothing...

For more on this story, please click here. Now, what is it called when you stand by, watch two people being assaulted by your associates, and do nothing?

Substitute Frank Wolf's Name for John McCain's in This Video

Great video by the League of Conservation Voters, see here for more. This is highly applicable to John McCain, but also to Frank Wolf. Just substitute "Frank Wolf" for "John McCain" and change a few numbers around, and you've pretty much got the story. Frank Wolf PRETENDS to be for the environment and for breaking our oil addiction, but in the end he's just another Bush Republican.

Social Right Winger Wolf Gets a Zero Rating From Human Rights Campaign

That's right, Frank Wolf the supposed "moderate" just got a big, fat ZERO rating from the Human Rights Campaign, for his votes against hate crimes legislation (!!) and employment non-discrimination(!!!).

In sharp contrast, Judy Feder is committed to "defend civil rights and uphold the principles of equality" for all people - gay and straight, black and white, old and young, male and female - ALL people.

Wolf has had a history of anti-gay votes since he began serving in Congress in 1981. In its scorecard released Wednesday for the 110th Congress, the Human Rights Campaign gave Wolf a score of zero for his positions on legislation in the U.S. House.

Last year, Wolf voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and hate crimes legislation. He also voted in favor of the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004 and 2006.

He also voted in favor of a bill that would have barred gay couples from adopting in D.C. in 1999 and voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.

Feder told the Blade that she would support ENDA, hate crimes legislation and a bill repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” She said she opposes a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and supports civil unions.

Feder said gay voters should support her because Wolf will not support any gay-friendly legislation in Congress.

“As a legislator, I will defend civil rights and uphold the principles of equality,” she said.

By the way, this isn't an isolated pattern of votes for Frank Wolf. In general, Wolf isn't just socially far right in this area. He's also consistently opposed using federal tax dollars to fund embryonic stem cell research. He's supported prohibitions on abortions at U.S. military facilities, even if they're not funded by private donations. He's strongly supported the Hyde Amendment, which rejects funding for abortion services even in cases of incest and rape.

The bottom line: Frank Wolf has moved further right on social issues as the 10th district has become more socially moderate. Let's face it, 28 years is a long time to be in Congress, especially given the huge population growth and demographic changes that have taken place during that time. Today, Frank Wolf finds himself out of touch, out of tune, and hopefully in 12 days, out of a job.

This Applies Equally to Frank Wolf and John McCain

John McCain and Frank Wolf Want to Tax Your Health Benefits

Marc Fisher: "Can't Even Get a Straight Answer" from Frank Wolf

If you're one of those people who still believes that Frank Wolf is a "moderate," a "nice guy," and a "straight shooter," you might want to check out Marc Fisher's latest column, "Can't Even Get a Straight Answer From a Straight Arrow." At the AARP forum the other day, Fisher spoke with Genie Hopkins of Purcellville about Wolf.

I'd like to report that when Hopkins took time out of her day to travel from her home in Purcellville to a meeting hall in Leesburg to confront her congressman, Frank Wolf, with those heartfelt questions, the crowd cheered her on. And I'd love to tell you that Wolf embraced the truth behind Hopkins's plaint, leveled with his constituents about the problems we face and spelled out tough solutions involving painful public sacrifice.

But that's not what happened when Wolf -- a Republican who represents parts of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Fauquier and three more Northern Virginia counties -- appeared this week at a forum sponsored by the AARP.

For starters, the congressman told Hopkins to take her question to the Democratic leader of the Senate, Harry Reid. "You'll have to ask the leadership, ma'am," he said. "I have a record of honesty and integrity."

I caught up to Hopkins later. "He was evasive," she said of Wolf's response. "I just wanted to know why the institution is so paralyzed, why they're so damn partisan. That's what makes politics so distasteful. All I wanted to hear was if he agreed and why it is that way."

Apparently, that's too much to ask from Frank Wolf. Pathetic.

But it's not just Genie Hopkins. Here's how Frank Wolf treats Marc Fisher - and by extension, all of his constituents.

Obviously frustrated by the nation's economic woes, Wolf made a passing reference to this being "a teachable moment."

What does that mean? He talked about the need, even in tough times, to invest much more in math, science and engineering, to build American know-how and innovation.

Are you saying that our priorities have been wrong, that there was something dishonest about politics that encouraged unrealistically low taxes, anti-intellectualism and spending beyond our means?

Wolf stood up. "It's getting cold out here," he said, and so it was. We walked to our cars.

Yeah, it's "getting cold" alright, Congressman - for your political career, that is.

Wolf Reality Check

From the Feder campaign, a bit of reality for Frank Wolf.

Wolf Reality Check: Still Supports the Largest Tax Increase on the Middle Class in History...and Cuts in Medicare Too!

On Thursday Oct. 16, 2008 Congressman Wolf said: I think the proposal that has been made with regard to Senator McCain and many others. With regard to a $5000 tax credit: Most people receive their health insurance through their place of employment, that would also help employers large and small to do it. Also, the $5000 tax credit would allow you to take it some other place. For realtors to band together, for small businesses to band together. Also for the portability to take place. [Prince William County 100 Candidate Forum, 10/16/08]

Tuesday Oct. 21, 2008 Wolf's campaign manager Dan Scandling said: What Congressman Wolf has said is that tax credits are something to look at because they provide portability. No where, no way, in no shape did he say that "I support taxing your health care benefits." [Northern Virginia Daily, 10/21/08

Wednesday Oct. 22, 2008 Wolf's campaign manager Dan Scandling said: Wolf spoke well of McCain's tax credit idea, but "he hasn't endorsed any plan" [Northern Virginia Daily, 10/21/08]

REALITY CHECK: You can't support the McCain health care tax credit and not support taxing employee health care benefits and cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. The McCain plan specifically ties them together by proposing to pay for the tax cuts by taxing employee health benefits and cutting Medicare:

"John McCain would pay for his health plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid, a top aide said, in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 trillion over 10 years to the government programs...In the months since Sen. McCain introduced his health plan, statements made by his campaign have implied that the new tax credits he is proposing to help Americans buy health insurance would be paid for with other tax increases. But Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Sen. McCain's senior policy adviser, said Sunday that the campaign has always planned to fund the tax credits, in part, with savings from Medicare and Medicaid." [McCain Plans Federal Health Cuts, Wall Street Journal, 10/6/08]

"McCain's plan would cost $3.6 trillion over 10 years, the campaign said. McCain would pay for the program by eliminating the tax break employers get for offering insurance." [Tax Credits at the Heart of McCain's Health Care Proposal, CNN]
"Taxes on insurance benefits would be offset by a refundable tax credit: $5,000 for families and $2,500 for single people. At first, those credits are expected to cover the additional taxes for workers in most tax brackets. Over time, rising insurance costs could outstrip the credit." [Health care plans: Obama vs. McCain, USA Today]

"The Wolf campaign is trying to have it both ways, they want to claim the tax credits without explaining how they plan to pay for it," said Feder campaign manager Luke McFarland. "The bottom line is that for almost a week now the Wolf campaign has been twisting itself into knots trying to claim it supports one without the other. Either Congressman Wolf doesn't understand what he's endorsing or he's just not being honest with the voters about how they plan to pay for this. The record is very clear: they're going to raise taxes and cut Medicare and Medicaid."

Debate Transcript Proves It: Wolf Supports McCain Health Benefits Tax!

Moderator: What Measures would you suggest to improve the availability—and I'm going to include affordability—of health care without the system becoming socialist?

Congressman Wolf: We have to make health insurance more accessible and more affordable, we also have to make sure we keep it between the doctor and the patient and not involve the federal government.

I think the proposal that has been made with regard to Senator Kaine…Senator McCain and many others.

With regard to a $5000 tax credit: Most people receive their health insurance through their place of employment, that would also help employers large and small to do it.

Also, the $5000 tax credit would allow you to take it some other place. For realtors to band together, for small businesses to band together. Also for the portability to take place.

[Wolf goes on to talk about legislation he's supported for research and mental health parity]


Judy Feder: Let me talk a little bit about it, since you seem to favor it, Mr. McCain's plan.

Mr. McCain has said he want to deregulate the health insurance industry the way we so successfully deregulated the banking industry. I think that is not the way we want to go and let me tell you why:

He wants to tax our health care benefits. The experts tell us that when he does that, it's going to leave 20 million people losing the insurance they now have.

And he's going to send them to the market place with a $5000 tax credit for insurance that for a family costs $12,000. And it's not going to protect anybody from discrimination based on pre-existing conditions…

[Judy goes on to talk about McCain not being able to get health care and that she does not advocate a government takeover]


Moderator: One minute for rebuttal, Congressman Wolf would you like it?

Congressman Wolf: No

Again, note that Frank Wolf had the opportunity at the debate to deny that he supported John McCain's huge tax on health care benefits, but he said "no." Just as Wolf says "no" to the middle class in general, while he's saying "yes" to Big Oil and Big Pharma. Priorities, priorities...

Over-the-Top Attack Ad Reveals the Real Frank Wolf

As you watch this ad, consider that this is about as far from the real Judy Feder as anyone can possibly imagine. It's also as far from the truth and over-the-top as a Sarah Palin interview or a Jeff Frederick mailer. But it IS very revealing about Frank Wolf, who also is busy denying that he endorsed John McCain's huge health care tax proposal, even though it's all on videotape! So much for Frank Wolf being a "good guy," a "moderate," truthful, or significantly better from the Fredericks, McCains and Palins of the world. Boy, is it ever time for a change in the 10th CD!

UPDATE: Here's the videotape of Frank Wolf endorsing John McCain's health care plan, and not denying it when Judy Feder calls him on it. Enjoy!

Judy Feder at AARP Forum

Yesterday, Judy Feder attended an AARP in Leesburg. Here's an account of what she said, courtesy of Leesburg Today.

When it was Feder's turn, the two-time candidate for Wolf's 10th District seat quickly said the election turned on "choice about the future-more of the same or to move in a new direction."

After talking with voters for three years, Feder said it was clear on all the issues the country couldn't afford to go on as it has been. "It's too risky," she said.

Seniors were facing an economic crisis, and Feder said her aim if elected would be to provide oversight of the legislation that bailed out bad investments, and to protect taxpayers.

"We also need stronger limits on executive remuneration," she said, and more accountability on the mortgage crisis, with the ultimate goal of letting people stay in their homes. Restructuring people's mortgages or changing bankruptcy laws would bring stability to the housing market, Feder said.

To rebuild the country, "we need to bring back the $10 billion it takes every month to rebuild Iraq-to rebuild here and invest in transportation, roads and rail transportation needs, such as rail to Dulles."

Clean air, energy efficiency, with incentives for renewable solutions such as wind and solar, plus creating green jobs, were among Feder's goals.

But, nowhere is the call greater than in health care, Feder said. Guaranteeing that every American has benefits, a choice of plans and doctors when they're sick is an imperative, Feder said. If they're not happy with their choices, they should be able to choose between private and public plans.

Getting rid of preexisting conditions should be a top priority as well as improving Medicare, Medicaid and long-term healthcare. Wolf's bipartisan commission, she said, would not solve the problems.

"I want to make a health care system for everyone, avoid duplication, do wise investing, so we can deliver what works," Feder said, saying she has fought for affordable healthcare for "everyone" for years as dean of Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute.

Asked about the future of Medicare, Feder said it was a good, strong program, but could improve in certain areas, such as paperwork and access. She noted that "a much bigger problem than Social Security is the financing of Medicare and Medicaid, and the problem of rising healthcare costs."

The much touted private drug benefit plans that went into effect in 2003 with the purpose of making drugs cheaper because of competition have had the opposite effect of undermining Medicare, she said, and should not continue.

"There's no evidence the competition worked," Feder said.

Just because the economy is in dire condition and the country facing a $10-$11 trillion debt doesn't mean it should stop investing in areas such as clean energy and moving to renewables to protect the environment, she said.

"We in Loudoun have the capacity to be a critical technology center and to develop green jobs," she said.

Feder pointed to deregulation as the main source of the financial crisis, saying financial institutions and markets are not bad, but they need regulation so they're not "investing in stuff that has no value." Similarly, she said, it should have been obvious that things are interlocked, and when one thing goes down, so does another.

Feder also said she'd like to see the county go back to ideas like the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. "We do have the capacity to engage young people in service in ways we may have failed to do," Feder said.

By the way, Frank Wolf was there too, pretty much repeating the same ol' same ol' about his supposedly "bipartisan approach" (could have fooled me!), how he got Metro to Dulles (he did?), etc. Read about what Wolf had to say and note the clear differences between the two candidates. On November 4, the choice is clear: Judy Feder for Congress and "Farewell Frank!" :)

Panicked Wolf campaign gives "bad information" to reporters

And now he's just outright lying:

Fact Check: Wolf Campaign Makes False Claim to Winchester Star
Wolf Campaign Misrepresents Feder Fundraising by More Than $100,000

McLean, VA— In the Monday October 20, 2008 edition of the Winchester Star [Feder, Wolf Run Neck-and-neck in Fundraising, 10/20/08] Wolf campaign manager Dan Scandling made the claim: “As of Sept. 30, had raised just $10,000 more than she had raised during her 10th District campaign in 2006”

The Facts: Judy Feder total raised as of September 30, 2008 was $1,745,085. The total raised by Judy Feder in 2006 according to the Center for Responsive Politics is $1,580,461. As of Sept. 30, 2008 Judy Feder had raised $164,624.000 more than she did during her 2006 campaign.

“It seems that over the weekend the Wolf campaign has gotten desperate. They’ve begun distorting the record and making false attacks with direct mail. Now they’re giving reporters bad information in attempt to deflect from their own fundraising problems,” said Feder campaign manager Luke McFarland. “This is exactly why the voters in this district are looking for something new, they’re tired of the same old political bickering. Judy Feder plans to spend the next 15 days meeting voters and giving them another choice in this election, the more the Wolf campaign engages in these kinds of political tactics the more clear the choice becomes for voters on Election Day: change versus more of the same.”

Taking lessons from the McCain-Palin campaign or something, Frank?

"Desperate" Frank Wolf Breaks Pledge, Goes Negative on Judy Feder!

Getting a little worried, Frank?

Congressman Wolf Breaks Pledge to Refrain from Partisan Negative Attacks
Campaign Launches Desperate Negative Attack on Feder

McLean, VA- In a sign of increasing desperation, Congressman Wolf has broken a pledge that has been the central focus of his effort to get re-elected: that the voters can count on him to stay above the fray and refrain from negative, partisan attacks on his opponents. Over the weekend, voters of Virginia's 10th District began receiving attack mailers from the Wolf campaign that are full of distortions and outright falsehoods.

"This kind of behavior is pretty surprising given Mr. Wolf's insistence that he doesn't engage in negative partisan attacks. He's clearly not being honest with the voters," said Feder campaign manager Luke McFarland.

Perhaps the most egregious attack launched by the Wolf campaign is the notion that Feder supports tax increases. In reality, Congressman Wolf has proposed the largest tax increase on the middle class in history. During the debate last week in Manassas, Congressman Wolf endorsed Senator McCain's plan to tax health care benefits.

The McCain-Wolf health care plan would leave millions without health insurance and would shift costs to individuals and working families who are already hurting. Congressman Wolf's plan for a new tax credit for health care is paid for by taxing employees' health benefits for the first time ever. This tax punishes those who currently have real health insurance, and over time will result in higher taxes for tens of millions of middle-class families.

"I suppose it's to be expected, when you don't have any issues to run on, the only option you have is to call your opponent names and distort the record by making false claims. That's clearly the strategy they're pursuing," concluded McFarland.

I can just hear that song now. How does it go again? Oh yeah: "na na na na, na na na, hey heyyyy, good bye!" :)

Feder vs. Wolf: Here's the Debate

Judy won the debate "walking away"

From the Feder campaign...

Last night Judy took on Frank Wolf in their first debate of the campaign. It won't surprise you that Judy won it walking away, making a strong, convincing case for change.

What surprised us all was Wolf’s endorsement of the McCain plan to tax health care benefits. The McCain plan represents the largest middle class tax increase in history.

The McCain-Wolf tax would make it more expensive for employers to provide coverage, unraveling the system and causing 20 million people to lose their coverage.

The McCain-Wolf plan would force people to seek insurance in the individual market, with higher costs, fewer benefits and no protections for pre-existing conditions.

Judy will work with Barack Obama to fix our broken health care system, not tax it. But she can’t get to work unless we win on November 4th.

In the financial reports released on Wednesday, Judy reported out-raising Wolf by $170,000. Thanks to your support, we've never been in a stronger position to win.

Contribute today to help us reach our goal of $100,000 raised online in October.

We only have 18 days left to change the direction of our country and America simply can’t afford the McCain-Wolf health care tax.

Contribute today to help us reach our $100,000 goal.

Thank you for your support,

Luke McFarland
Campaign Manager
