Letters and e-mails Needed for Kreider Run- Final Push
The only Democrat to file for Roy Blunt's seat is white supremacist Glenn Miller. Clearly, this guy is a reject from the GOP base who filed to embarass the Democratic party. How sad it would be if this guy remained the only Dem to file and received hundreds of votes from split ticket Dem voters.


Former Speaker of the Missouri House Jim Kreider has been actively sought by hundreds of SWMO Dems to run. Learn more about him here: http://www.draftkreideruscongress.org/

We need everyone to help in the final push to get Kreider to file for Roy Blunt's seat. The filing dealine is less than a month away!

Please e-mail him here: JimKreider@morta.org

Please send Letters to the Editor! Here is a form message you can use if you don't have much time:

>>>

Jim,

Charlie Dake is a Lawrence County Democrat who won in one of the most conservative districts in Southwest Missouri. Democrats can win here, you can too. We need you to run.

There is a literal army ready to work for you on this campaign. The public is mostly unaware of what Blunt has done. Help us fight against corruption and the policies that continue to hurt many Southwest Missourians. Help us fight for honest open government, health care, and public education.

Having you on the ticket might make the difference for other state races. Roy Blunt is politically damaged and we can win! Lets do it!

>>>

Send this to every Dem you know! Post on boards... Get it out there...

1. Wasn't there some kind of scandal involving Kreider?

Have you tried doing a search on Frazier Glenn Miller yet? Here are a few sources.

Wikipedia's link didn't work too well so I'm posting what it says.

Born November 23rd, 1940, Frazier Glenn Miller is a controversial figure in the "White Nationalist" movement.

Miller, a white supremacist and retired US Army Veteran, founded the White People's Party in 1980.

Affiliated with the KKK and Christian Identity, the party soon adopted paramilitary characteristics. Its rapid growth quickly aroused the ire of Harold A. Covington, a local National Socialist organizer.

Miller later received approximately $250,000 from The Order, which he used to found the White Patriot Party. His White Patriot Party came under scrutiny for violating North Carolina laws against paramilitary training camps, and was repeatedly targeted for investigation and civil action by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group eventually dissolved due to a lack of sources. Miller, who has admitted to being an alcoholic, blamed his drinking for the collapse of the group.

Just before the party collapsed, Miller was caught purchasing machine guns and rockets from a Fayetteville, NC military base, which lead to criminal charges that caused him to turn federal informer.

Under pressure and investigation from the FBI, Miller acted as a federal informant against The Order and was a key government witness in the Fort Smith sedition trial, where he testified against men such as Dr. William Pierce of the National Alliance, Don Black of Stormfront and Richard Butler of the Aryan Nations.

Admitted to being a client of the Federal Witness Protection Program after he testified against former White Nationalist friends. He is denounced as a "race traitor" by a handful of prominent White Nationalist leaders, including Tom Metzger, Louis Beam, and Billy Roper, as well as incarcerated members of the Order.

Currently active with Alex Linder of Vanguard News Network, Miller fundraises for The Aryan Alternative, for which he is the distribution manager.




This is not someone you want representing the democratic party.

There were other sources which were less "credible" shall we say which displayed a hostile attitude toward him. I don't believe them. Miller has popped up as recently as the last 2 or 3 months for having delivered his racist newspaper to an interracial couple's driveway.

3. I know this guy is nuts
but my Republican co-worker said to me that Kreider would never get elected because of his scandalous past. So I was wondering if they have some dirty laundry on him. I thought I remembered something about him. :shrug:

5. Don't know.
Couldn't find anything, but if there is anything it couldn't possibly be as bad as Miller and I don't see any other candidates/opponents.
