Clean Elections Commission Unanimously Clears Jason Williams

"I'd like to thank the Commission for the time they put into reviewing the complaint and ultimately for the decision that they reached. As I would often tell my students, just because someone calls you a name, it doesn't mean it's true. As we've seen, the allegations made by my primary opponent and her supporter were completely based on nothing but innuendo and speculation."
"I am proud to be the only Democrat in this race to be running as a Clean candidate. As we know, Clean Elections is the most transparent system of elections."
"It's unfortunate that my primary opponent chose to engage in this type of status quo politics at this time. This election is far too important for our children and our state. This is precisely the type of status quo politics that I and the majority of Arizona voters are anxious to abandon. Going into the final days of the primary election, I would hope this would be the last example of this type of politically-motivated tactic by my primary opponent so we can focus on doing what's right for our kids."
"I'm proud that my campaign has consistently been a positive campaign focused on ideas and real solutions to the challenges facing public education in Arizona. This is what we need to be talking about. This is what I will address when I am state Superintendent."

We can provide you with the opportunity to help shape our state and national political systems' operational methods. Democrats believe in progressive government that promotes freedom, fiscal responsibility, security, health and education. We encourage you to help us make these a priority.
If you feel uncomfortable with how the Republican minority operates; with their relentless chatter about "no tax and spend" economics and their blatant eagerness to see the ultimate failure of President Barack Obama, you are not alone. Many others believe as you do. However, it is not good enough to complain to your friends. Too much is at stake: your job security, the economy, your freedoms, and your safety. You need to get involved and do something that makes a difference.

River Valley Dem District Chair-Letter To The Editor
Editor:
The conservatives claim that President Obama is overspending and that the national debt is getting further and further in the hole.
Anybody in business knows that “it takes time and money to make business work.” Obama said at his inauguration that it would take some time to get the economy and jobs back to some normalcy.
In a recent report by Mark Zandi, economic adviser to John McCain and chief economist at Moodys.com, and Mark Blinder, an economics professor at Princeton, they state, “The economy has made enormous progress since the dark days of early 2009. The effects on GDP, jobs (8.5 million were saved), and inflation are huge and we probably averted a second Great Depression.”
Past chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, recently stated that the Obama stimulus package is working. After the TARP program generated by President Bush and former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, President Obama and Secretary Geithner decided to further spurt the economy with the needed stimulus plan.
The Zandi report also states, “Increased unemployment insurance benefits and tax cuts put cash into households’ pockets that they have largely spent, supporting output and employment. Without help from the federal government, state and local governments would have slashed payrolls and programs and raised taxes at just the wrong time. ... Infrastructure spending is now kicking into high gear and will be a significant source of jobs through at least this time next year, and business tax cuts have contributed to increased investment and hiring.”
