    Columbian Endorses Carrier, Probst and Wallace

    David Carrier

    Tim Probst

    Deb Wallace

    The Columbian has an accurate and strong endorsement for all three Democrats running for the State Legislature in the 17th Legislative District in Clark County.  As a former Chair of the 17th District Democrats and someone who knows all three endorsees, it is quite surprising to see a newspaper that endorsed George Bush in 2004 see the light and [...]



    Carrier – Benton Race About More Than Taxes

    Kayaker Carrier in action

    It is unfortunate that the “top two” primary system sidetracked his candidacy and thereby diminished the democratic process. This is certainly not how democracy is supposed to work. Were it not for that system, the voters [...]



    Confessions of a Precinct Committee Officer (part 1)

    I don’t believe we are practicing any recognizable form of democracy in this country and here is just another example.

    Let me say at the outset that I don’t blame anyone for this mess besides perhaps a justice system that is more concerned about promoting a “dog eat dog” world than administering wise jurisprudence.

    I am a Democratic Party Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) in the 17th Legislative [...]
