(Sept. 21, 2018): Copyright: COPYRIGHT 2018 The Washington Post Listen Full Text: Byline: Laura Vozzella MADISON, Va. -- Democrat Leslie Cockburn vowed to resist President Trump while Republican Denver Riggleman promised "common sense" and bipartisanship as the rivals for the 5th Congressional District seat met for their second debate Thursday. Cockburn, a former "60 Minutes" producer, and Riggleman, a former Air Force intelligence officer and craft distillery owner, are political newcomers vying for the seat being vacated by freshman Rep. Thomas Garrett (R). Garrett announced in May that he is an alcoholic and would abandon his run for a second term so he could focus on recovery and his family. From her opening statement to her closing an hour later, Cockburn invoked Trump as the driving force behind her bid. "I am one of those women who stood up because Donald Trump came into office," she said at the outset. She wrapped up by declaring that "2018 is a blue wave, and it is a wave for women." Unless Democrats retake power, she said, "we are going to lose our democracy because we have people in power who have no respect for institutions." Riggleman took a markedly different tack, contending throughout the hour-long debate that he would bring a willingness to work across the aisle in Washington. Riggleman, who ran unsuccessfully for governor last year, traces his entry into politics to his battles with government bureaucracy and entrenched liquor interests as he opened Silverback Distillery in 2014. He said his goal was to make the system work for ordinary people. "Actually, Leslie and I agree on a few things," he said when the discussion turned to health care, noting that they both believe it is a primary issue. "I don't think we need an Obamacare. I don't think we need a Trumpcare. I think we need a 'Bipartisancare.'" As for Trump, Riggleman said he would support the president's policies when they benefit the district, and oppose them when they don't. He called Trump's tariffs a mixed bag -- benefiting some farmers but hurting others. The candidates appeared before a packed auditorium at Madison County High School, with supporters on each side sporting offbeat T-shirts that sought to make light of campaign controversies. Some Cockburn supporters wore shirts emblazoned with "Semites for Leslie," an attempt to push back on allegations, based on a book she co-authored that was highly critical of Israel, that she is anti-Semitic. Some of her backers also wore shirts that played off the slogan used by Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who lost to Trump in 2016: "I'm with Leslie." Some Riggleman fans wore shirts with an image of Bigfoot plastered on a Virginia map. "Riggleman '18," they read. "You have to believe!" It was a reference to a satirical book that Riggleman wrote -- before running for office -- about the mating habits of Sasquatch. Riggleman and Cockburn are competing to represent a largely rural district that stretches from wealthy Washington exurbs to struggling communities on the North Carolina line. Trump won the 5th by 11 points in 2016, even as Clinton took the state by more than five points. Amid a blue wave the next year, Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie won the district by nine points, even though Democrat Ralph Northam won Virginia overall by the same nine-point margin. Independent analysts rate the race as "leans Republican." The debate was moderated by Stephen Farnsworth, a University of Mary Washington political scientist and director of the Center for Leadership and Media Studies. Farnsworth would throw out a broad topic and then give each candidate the chance to speak for a few minutes. "What would you do to address education?" he asked at one point. Cockburn responded that if Democrats could flip control of the House, Rep. Robert C. "Bobby" Scott (D-Va.) would become chairman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, and that would improve "the education system." She called for universal pre-kindergarten, saying it would help narrow the achievement gap between low-income children and their more affluent peers.

  • Payments to Florida Lobbyist Flagged in Lawsuit Against NRA Marion
    Payments to Florida lobbyist flagged in lawsuit against NRA Marion Hammer, one of Tallahassee’s most well-known lobbyists, received payments from the National Rifle Association under contracts that were improperly handled, according to a civil ​ lawsuit filed Thursday by New York Attorney General Letitia James. ​ James is seeking to dissolve the gun rights group, which has been a major political force nationally and in Florida, where it successfully swayed the state Legislature to pass the state's “stand your ground” law, which allows a person who feels threatened to use deadly force without trying to retreat. The lawsuit alleges that the NRA’s leadership spent funds improperly, engaged in self-dealing ​ ​ and made false or misleading disclosures to the attorney general and the IRS. The complaint describes payments made to “Board Member No. 5," a person identified as the executive director of the Unified Sportsmen of Florida. State corporate records list the 81-year-old Hammer as executive director of the group. She has routinely identified herself with the organization when testifying on gun legislation at the state Capitol. The lawsuit alleges that Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s longtime CEO, negotiated consulting contracts in 2017 and 2018 with Hammer, who sits on the NRA board, that increased her annual pay from $150,000 to $168,000 and then to $220,000. The final contract, approved in April 2018, was for 10 years. LaPierre did not receive approval from the NRA’s president or vice president before the contracts were executed, according to the lawsuit. Hammer also received grants that the NRA paid to Unified Sportsmen of Florida.

STANDING UP TO “STAND YOUR GROUND” LAWS: HOW THE MODERN NRA-INSPIRED SELF-DEFENSE STATUTES DESTROY THE PRINCIPLE OF NECESSITY, DISRUPT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND INCREASE OVERALL VIOLENCE DANIEL SWEENEY ABSTRACT A majority of states have enacted “Stand Your Ground” laws. Proponents argue that such laws enhance the important right of self-defense. In application, however, “Stand Your Ground” laws have had a negative impact on society. First, “Stand Your Ground” laws ignore the common-law element of necessity that traditionally provided a check on unreasonable self-defense.

    Case 4:18-cv-00137-MW-CAS Document 32 Filed 05/13/18 Page 1 of 17 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE DIVISION NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, INC., Plaintiff, v. Case No. 4:18cv137-MW/CAS PAM BONDI, in her official capacity as Attorney General of Florida, et al., Defendants. __________________________/ ORDER DENYING MOTION TO PROCEED UNDER PSEUDONYMS The National Rifle Association of America, Inc., (“NRA”) filed this lawsuit on March 9, 2018. ECF No. 1. At the time, the NRA was the only plaintiff. Id. Since then, the NRA has moved to amend its original complaint and add a second plaintiff—a nineteen-year-old female identified as Jane Doe. ECF No. 18. Among other changes, the amended complaint also includes allegations about a nineteen-year-old male identified as John Doe. ECF No. 18-1, at 9–10. Ordinarily, parties referred to in a complaint must be identified by their real names. The Federal Rules of Civil 1 Case 4:18-cv-00137-MW-CAS Document 32 Filed 05/13/18 Page 2 of 17 Procedure specifically provide that “[t]he title of the complaint must name all the parties.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a). Similarly, courts have long recognized that “[l]awsuits are public events” and that the public has a “legitimate interest in knowing all of the facts involved [in a case], including the identities of the parties.” Doe v. Frank, 951 F.2d 320, 322–24 (11th Cir. 1992). But that doesn’t mean that parties can never use pseudonyms.

    From the Center for Media and Democracy/ALECexposed.org The tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin has exposed the NRA and ALEC’s deadly network of money and influence, which BLOOD FOR MONEY they have used to push for more laws like Florida’s, and which NRA, ALEC, & ‘SHOOT FIRST’ LAWS helped protect Trayvon’s killer from conviction. GUN MANUFACTURERS Facing a decline in gun ownership, firearms manufacturers are investing in the NRA—to the tune of between $15.7 million and $38.9 million since 2005.1 Easing firearms restrictions and stoking $ bogus fears of Obama gun confiscations could drive profits. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION The National Rifle Association spends tens of millions of dollars every year in elections and lobbying to advance its legislative agenda. In 2010 alone, the NRA spent as much as $28 million dollars in candidate contributions and lobbying.* With this torrent of cash, the NRA has flexed its political muscle to radically gut our nation’s public safety laws. “Shoot First,” also known as Stand Your Ground,” is but one of the extreme legislative proposals that the NRA has rammed through state legislatures in the past decade. $ STATE LEGISLATURES $ The NRA is a dominant force in state legislatures.
