Greetings Friends,

In studio


With the sweet after taste of  Massachusetts still lingering in the mouths of conservatives, the question du jour is "how will the Scott Brown victory effect races elsewhere?"

 

This much is clear:

 

*Both parties are losing power


*Independent voters and grass roots activist (TEA Party) are gaining influence

 

*It is better to be viewed as an outsider

 

*It is not good to be seen as part of the establishment (did you notice that while Obama stumped for Coakley, Michael Steele and Newt Gingrich were nowhere to be seen in Mass?)


In this issue we offer a few observations and opinions on select races of interest, plus other stories on national security you may have missed.


Best Wishes,

Rick

The Race To Replace Barbara Boxer


Fiorina Exits Out the Back Door

The great thing about authenticity is you know it when you see it. It is a hard thing to fake.

 






Recently during a speaking engagement at the San Diego County Republican Party monthly meeting,  U.S. Senate hopeful Carly Fiorina spoke of the parallels between herself and Scott Brown and of understanding the angst felt by voters.

When her speech ended  and it came time take questions- something which had been highly anticipated, and is customary at such meetings- to the dismay of those in attendance she smoothly ended the evening and exited out the back door avoiding all questions.


Her handlers were left behind to clumsily explain "she had a plane to catch". 

 

All of which may be fine when you are a CEO meeting with obligated employees whose paychecks you sign,  but to voters who have grown weary of the disconnect and arrogance of those in Washington, it was seen as more of the same.


Contrast that with the hard working Chuck DeVore who has been known to criss-cross the state and speak at multiple TEA Party events in the same day, not shy away from taking listener phone calls on radio talk shows and has developed a reputation of being

unscripted, unrehearsed, and willing to speak to anyone at anytime.


On the question of the Massachusetts effect in the Calif. GOP Senate primary:


Advantage DeVore

All Politics Is Local

Massachusetts Effect On San Diego Sheriffs Race

Some say Bill Gore makes Al Gore look comfortable in his own skin.
 

Bill Gore- Appointed as Sheriff by San Diego's Board of Supervisors and favorite of the party establishment.


Bill Gore, like him or not, there is no denying he is the favorite among the republican party establishment. He represents the appearance of back room deals, the good ole' boy's club...everything independent voters are against in this election cycle....

...But when it comes to backroom deals in San Diego's Sheriff  race, Gore is not alone. Jim Duffy shares the distinction with his complete and unwavering support of  big labor ...so much so...that he received an A+ rating from the labor council.  This includes SEIU who shares office space with the notorious ACORN....

...Jay LaSuer has received the endorsements of the Independence Caucus, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Phoenix and the ever-popular retired congressman Duncan Hunter.  He is a frequent attendee at TEA Party events, has built an impressive grass roots following and is not beholden to any special interest groups.


On the question of the Massachusetts effect on San Diego Sheriffs Race:

Advantage LaSuer...but only if he seizes the moment and ties his opponents to their relationships with special interest groups, party establishment and back room deals.


Candidate Bruce Ruff also enjoys the same opportunity as LaSuer but he must first demonstrate an ability to raise money, build a grass roots following and quite "snarling" in public appearances.  He's a much friendlier person than the public persona he often portrays.

National Security

Insurgents Accuse Soldier, Soldier Charged

Cpt Carl Bjork- A Bronze Star recipient, he now faces a court martial stemming from accusations made by enemy insurgents.










Bronze Star recipient Cpt. Carl Bjork- 28 years old of Denver, CO- has been referred for a court martial hearing based upon accusations made by enemy insurgents. The insurgents- who claim he ordered civilians killed- are being held as prisoners by both the U.S. and Iraq governments.

What is not known is what exactly the insurgents were promised by prosecutors in exchange for their testimony.

What is known is their testimony varied greatly from one insurgent to the other.

To learn more and to donate to his legal defense click here.  Cpt Bjork is defended by attorney Victor Kelley of Pendleton 8 fame.




Corey Clagett Clemency Hearing Scheduled

 CC
Wrongly imprisoned soldier 24 year old PFC Corey Clagett continues to serve time at Ft. Leavenworth prison.







Clagett was advised by his JAG attorney to plead guilty of murdering two al Qaeda members who he had taken as prisoners, depsite the fact co-defendants in the case had already taken full responsibility for the deaths.  Corey was never advised of their admission, even though his attorney was fully aware.

To donate to his legal defense and to write personal letters of support directly to Corey (Something which is very much appreciated!)  click here.

To learn more download the e-book version of the recent book on Corey's case:  "The Good Soldier On Trial", by expert witness Stjepan Mestrovic.
 
National Security

Bi-Partisan 9-11 Commission "Dismayed" Obama Admin Read Underwear Bomber His Miranda Rights
 
Both democrats and republicans who comprise the 9-11 Commission are not only dismayed, but are outraged the Obama admin read the Christmas Day bomber his Miranda rights and allowed him to "lawyer up".

Recently I interviewed award winning National Security reporter Eli Lake who is following the story closely. 

This is must-listen-to radio. The inside scoop on a very important story, the interview is 15 minutes in length.

With 2009 winding down it is only fitting that we name our "Top 10 Shows Heard on The RA Show in '09".

You will recognize several names on the list like: Breitbart, Ramos & Compeon and the TEA Party movement to just name a few.

You can hear our special edition "Top 10 Show" program here (scroll to 12.23.09)

Important Breaking News Story!...Exclusive!

 Miscarriage of Justice
 
IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS STORY....

30 year old Captain Carl Bjork of Denver, CO- who last served in Iraq 3 years ago- has been sent back to Baghdad to face charges of premeditated murder.

The WITNESSES: 3 IRAQI INSURGENTS held as detainees.

His attorney Victor Kelly leaves for Baghdad shortly. Kelly joins me today on 'Inside the Story' (4pm EST, 1pm PST) with the exclusive details.

Victor Kelly is the very same attorney who previously successfully defended Cpl Trent Thomas (The Pendleton 8 case) against insurgent allegations of premeditated murder.

Largely unaware to the American public is the fact that, there are a record number of American soldiers who are currently serving prison time or are defending themselves against serious allegations of wrongdoing... guilty of nothing more than doing their jobs in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I urge you to follow this story, pay close attention to the news developments as public outrage may be a valuable asset in Cpt. Bjork's (and many others) future well being.
 Support Cory Clagett


CC


Corey Clagett is a 24 year old soldier who is serving an 18 year prison sentence- guilty of following his orders on a DANGEROUS mission in Iraq.

 Corey received QUESTIONABLE (at best) legal representation and is now at Ft. Leavonworth prison.

Both Corey and his mother can use your support (cards, letters, etc) during this time of the year.

Please write letters and cards to Corey at:
                  Corey Clagett 82477

What Kind of Man Is Bernard Kerik?  Read Below and You Decide:


Bernie Kerik
Bernard Kerik risked his life for this country in Iraq.










I received the following email below from an Iraqi refugee regarding her experience with Bernard Kerik.

How one acts during times of crises- I'm sure we can all agree- speaks volumes about a person's character. I have purposely edited out the sender's name.

Also, I have joined Geraldo Rivera's cause to demand that judge Stephan Robinson remove himself from Commissioner Kerik's trial.

IF YOU AGREE, you can TAKE ACTION  by contacting Judge Robinson's Deputy Clerk  at  (914) 390-4178....and demand he do the honorable thing by removing himself from the case. Let's continue to flood his phone lines.


Email Received From Iraqi Refugee:


"Hello Rick,

My name is (   ), Iraqi citizen. I was working with the US government in Baghdad-Iraq.  working for Mr. Bernard Keirk who was the senior adviser and work with the US Embassy in Baghdad.

I flee Baghdad because I got a threat and stayed in Jordan thinking it will be peace soon.

My Ex (husband) didn't let me speak with my kids and deprived me from them by any communication . then my son was kidnapped for 8 days.

I can't tell you how I felt that time......
My son was released by paying the ransom. my story was written in the New York Times.

I stayed for Three and a half years in Jordan.
Mr. Kerik contact me by email and phone and was willing to help me in my bad situation.

My daughter was in Syria and my son was in UAE with his father. I was hopeless and depressed but Mr. Kerik helped and encourage me to go and try to get my daughter and let her enter Jordan.

No Iraqi citizen can enter the Jordanian border at that time.
He let me see my daughter after 3 years and I was so happy for the reunion.

We apply and we are here in the US as a refugee.

He was a good boss, good friend, faithful ,hero, has a white heart, and a human being who cares about others.

I appreciate him and grateful to him as long as I will live.
I wish I can do anything to help him.

Best Regards "




As a side note:
Judge Robinson revoked Commissioner Kerik's bail (same judge scheduled to oversee the Nov. 9th trial) when it was discovered  that Mr. Kerik had passed information favorable to his case to the media (such an atrocity!)...based upon an introduction I had made between Bernard Kerik and an investigative journalist.

Free Bernard Kerik:  Demand Judge Remove Himself !!

Bernie Kerik
Bernard Kerik risked his life for this country in Iraq. He was there when the Towers went down. Now he receives treatment worse than that of a murderer.









How many times have we seen this before? An overzealous prosecutor, an ambitious federal judge and all the power, might and unlimited resources of the U.S. government brought against an individual?

Can you say 'Ramos & Compeon' or Ted Stevens?  How about Duke lacrosse?

Former NYC Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik is an American hero whose rights to a fair trial are being trampled upon -once again- by an over zealous prosecutor and federal judge.

Bernard Kerik has been sitting in jail since October 20- WITHOUT BAIL- while waiting for his November 9th trial!

Murder suspects routinely receive bail! Once again something stinks rotten here.

Previously  an 18 month investigation in 2005 into allegations against him produced NO EVIDENCE of his guilt. Now the government is after him again.


The judge's decision to deny Kerik bail began when he passed information favorable to his case to the media (such an atrocity!)...
after an introduction I had made between Kerik and The Washington Times.


It is time for federal Judge Stephan Robinson- the same individual who revoked his bail and is also scheduled to oversee his Nov. 9th trial- to do the proper thing and remove himself from the trial.


TAKE  ACTION:
Flood the Judge's Phone Lines.

IF YOU AGREE, VOICE YOUR OPINION  by contacting Judge Robinson's Deputy phone line at (914) 390-4178....and demand he do the honorable thing by removing himself from the case.

Also enroll your friends.  Former NYC Police Commissioner- like every American- deserves the right to a fair trial.

Your Opinion Please?

Rick Amato Show at last April's TEA Party














Dear Friends,

As many of you know 2010 is a critical election year for conservatives at all levels of elected office. 

Each election year poses its' own set of challenges but 2010 is especially so given the blatant bias and vested interest the mainstream media has shown recently in promoting its' liberal ideology and pet candidates.

...As such 'The Rick Amato Show' is giving consideration to launching the "Great 2010 Conservative Comeback Tour"...

Each month we would take the show live-on-the-road in front of a large Southern California audience...and highlight the issues and  key candidates who most represent core conservative values.

...Along the way we would raise voter awareness, get people fired up, hear what is on the minds of voters...and have some fun while we're at it.

But we will only do this if there is widespread interest among those of you out there.


Our Question Is:

Do you like the idea?  Would you show up and support the "Great Conservative Comeback Tour" if it came to your part of town?:


YES
(Put 'Yes' in the subject field)

NO
(Put 'No' in the subject field)

Comments
(Feel free to provide any comments or suggestions you may have)

Press Club Awards Show 1st and 3rd Places


San Diego, CA- Last month the San Diego Press Club announced 'The Rick Amato Show Presented by The Washington Times' was to be awarded an 'Excellence In Journalism Award' at its' upcoming October 20th awards ceremony.

Last night at the annual 36th annual ceremony The Rick Amato Show received 1st and 3rd places for best interview in talk radio.

The winning interview centered around the use of drugs with known drastic side effects- such as suicidal behavior- by the VA in treating wounded War On Terror veterans.

The guests were Audrey Hudson of The Washington Times (who broke the story) a whistle blowing veteran and House Chairman of the VA, Congressman Bob Filner (D-CA).

Shortly after the interview Congressman Filner called a congressional hearing on Capital Hill which resulted in changes at the VA and its' procedures.

The SD Press Club judge comments were: "An important and shocking story. Because of this show change was affected and possibly lives were saved. The reaction of the congressman was priceless".

You can hear a three minute highlight of the interview here.


Guest Host of The Rick Amato Show, Gayle Falkenthal, received third place for her interview of Craig Newmark founder of CraigsList.

The Rick Amato Show is independently owned, operated and produced by Amato Media Group.

Rick Amato is the host of both 'The Rick Amato' Show on 1170 KCBQ in San Diego and of 'Inside the Story' on Washington Times radio.

Notes & Comments from San Diego Sheriff's Race


Bill Gore:  It has been suggested to me (by a member of the SD County Board of Supervisors) that former FBI agent Bill Gore doesn't "feel comfortable" working within the culture of the Sheriff's department..."and in fact doesn't even look comfortable in uniform".

You be the judge:




As for me, based on the photo alone I think the Board of Supervisor member has a point.



Jim Duffy Scores 'Perfect' with Organized Labor.
Organized labor recently asked Sheriff candidates to complete a questionaire on various issues. 

Candidates could answer '0' for strongly disagree or '5' for strongly agree.  Duffy answered a '5' on 100% of the questions, meaning he 'strongly agreed' with labors position ON ALL QUESTIONS ASKED.

You can view his answers and read more here.


Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Town on Behalf of Jay LaSuer.
"America's Sheriff" Joe Arpaio will appear in San Diego on November 6th in an effort to help get Jay LaSuer elected.

Those who know Andrew Breitbart personally have always known he is a bright, talented guy with lofty goals who thrives on being ahead of the curve. Out to push the envelope as they say.

To do what he has done, as a self-employed entrepreneur working out of his west L.A. home, in exposing ACORN and sending shock waves through the entire democratic party...is itself an incredible story.

But his brilliance does not end there. It is in his planning and preparation.

You see Andrew understands the democratic party/mainstream media strategy playbook calls for attacking the messenger- while ignoring the message- (see Joe the Plumber, Sara Palin and others) and to intimidate by filing lawsuits.

Except as Andrew writes this week in his  Washington Times column, this time it's different:

 You can't ignore the message when the message is the smuggling of 13 year old El Salvadorean girls into the country for prostitution.

As for the threat of lawsuits don't you know Andrew is just licking his chops.

Should a suit come to be, it is his opportunity to subpoena ACORN's books forcing them to finally open up their accounting records for the world to see.

And all the while he generates tons of well earned, valuable publicity for his business websites Breitbart.com, BigHollywood.com and the latest launch BigGovernment.com.

The brilliance of Andrew Breitbart.

Keep Up The Good Fight,
Rick

Sonic Weapons In San Diego Gets National Attention

We have been reporting for a couple weeks now about the deployment of military sonic weapons (known as LRAD's) by San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore at two town hall meetings on health care in August.

The story was first broken by Miriam Rafferty of East County Magazine and asked of Gore at our Sheriff candidate debate by journalist Kim Dvorak of Examiner.com.

Now The Washington Times has picked it up and made it afront page/home page feature story on their website. The Times will be doing a series of investigative pieces.

The real question to ask ourselves is: Is this an appropriate weapon for U.S. local law enforcement to purchase and use with grant money made available by the DHS?

Worth Noting:
* The weapons can cause eardrums to burst, bleed and even cause death

* There is no regulatory oversight. Anyone with money who doesn't raise suspicion from the manufacturer can purchase it.

* The manufacturer's SEC documents state: "There is the possibility of lawsuits from misuse and improper training."

* Manufacturer's documents also state: "They are designed to influence the behavior and compliance of humans."

During the debate, when asked why he deployed the LRAD's at Town hall meetings on health care, Bill Gore said it "was a crowd dispersal tool".

Two days later he told local media outlets it was a "PA system to be used during fires or floods."

We're still not sure which he was expecting at the town hall meetings? The fire or the floods?

.


 Michelle Obama and Her Staff of 26

This is a story of arrogance in government and hypocrisy of the mainstream media.

Kim Dvorak reports that Michelle Obama has a staff of 26 personal assistants underneath her, costing taxpayers $1.75 Million in annual salaries!

A ridiculous amount anytime time, but especially so in this economy.

Of course the very same mainstream media that accosted Sara Palin for her wardrobe budget during the campaign have completely ignored this story.

Read Dvork's article here and get a complete breakdown of the assistants and there pay.

Breitbart Nuts Over ACORN!


My good friend ANDREW BREITBART has of course sent the dems and the Obama administration into a tailspin with his undercover work at BigGovernment.com and the whole ACORN fiasco.

But Andrew has done more than than. He is reshaping investigative journalism in pop culture, much in the same way as Don Hewitt once did with 60 Minutes.

Andrew joins me live on the show this week, details to be announced soon. Keep an eye on AmatoTalk.com and my FacrBook page.

A Couple Photo's from Saturday's Debate

Posted by Rick Amato on Monday, September 14, 2009 2:07:16 PM

Later today I will be writing my observations on "winner-losers- and what it all means" from Saturday's debate.

The crowd was estimated to be as large as 1500 people at its height. Among pre-debate speakers who were crowd favorites: US Senate candidate Chuck DeVore and San Diego native son Steve Baldwin.

In the meantime below are a couple photo's and an article from a reporter covering the event:

A Call To Action!

Posted by Rick Amato on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 10:33:02 PM
New York's Inter Continental Hotel is making arrangements to host Iranian President Ahmandinejad at an upcoming UN General Assembly meeting.

Several other New York hotels have succumbed to public pressure and have refused to accept Ahmandinejad, while the Inter Continental -so far- has ignored public requests.

It should be noted that the hotel is headquartered in the UK...the same UK which allowed the Lockerbie bomber to go free.

To contact the Inter Continental Hotel MANAGER directly and voice your objection click below:

http://capwiz.com/unitedagainstnucleariran/issues/alert/?alertid=14008846

The effort is organized by the non-partisan group: United Against Nuclear Iran
