Halloween- Filipino Style
For us Filipinos, spending the day with our departed family members in the cemeteries is a fun event after of course the prayers, lighting candles, mass offerings and flowers. Its a sort of mini-reunion for families and friends and a chance to have an acquaintance with those people that we see only once a year in the memorial park.
Tables, chairs and tents are set up in front of the grave sites so that the family and their visitors can stay and talk. They bring along laptops, cd players to provide entertainment and board games.
Foods and drinks are also overflowing during this time but if you run out of food stuff, candles and even flowers, vendors are all around the cemetery to provide for your needs. It saves the family members the hassle of bringing these things plus it provides extra income for these vendors. Food stalls of Greenwich, Chowking and many others are already set-up at Everlasting Memorial Park when we visited my mother's grave yesterday.

Statement from Zach Rodvold, Tarryl Clark's Campaign Manager, on final 6th District debate:
Tarryl Clark has been in this race for more than a year, yet Michele Bachmann has allowed just 110 minutes of debate, including today's 24 minute debate on KSTP. Today again showed why Bachmann has been afraid to debate: from the Legacy Amendment to Social Security, Michele Bachmann is incapable of speaking honestly about her record and her positions on the issues. Perhaps that's because she knows that her real record of standing with the special interests while - by her own admission - achieving nothing for the people she represents is liable to cost her the election."

Give her a pole! Pearl necklaces now being promoted by teabaggers? The mind boggles. Do these people ever consult the urban dictionary before embarking on any of their misguided forays into the world of comedy?

Dinner with Friends
Yesterday, Evelyn and Richard invited us for dinner at their place in Cabuyao. I'm very happy to see them once again and over the sumptuous foods that she prepared, we talked about life's ups and downs. We also planned to play bowling in the coming days.
By the way, SM Santa Rosa started their pre-christmas sale the other day. There are lots of shoppers taking advantage of the big discount on household and gift items. We're there to shop for my dumbells and have a relaxing massage at Lynderm.

Bradlee Dean Attacked Catholics, Lutherans and Jews
There's been a ruckus by MN Republicans in recent days about a supposed "anti-Catholic" mailer (it wasn't anti-Catholic) sent out by the DFL.
But, Bradlee Dean, a favorite of right-wingers like Bachman, Emmer, Collett and Kiffmeyer frequently attacks mainstream religious groups. In this audio, Bradlee Dean attacks Catholics and Lutherans for condoning drinking, gambling and lechery:
Bradlee Dean has also said Jews have been punished by God for the crucifixion of Jesus:

Bradlee Dean has also said Jews have been punished by God for the crucifixion of Jesus:
The Jews, who heard and rejected Christ, were destroyed by Titus, and Vespasian his father, in 70 AD, about 40 years after the passion of the Christ, to the number of eleven hundred thousand, beside those who Vespasian slew in the subduing of Galilee. Seventeen thousand were sold and sent into Egypt and other provinces to vile slavery; and two thousand were brought with Titus in his triumph; of whom, part he gave to be devoured of the wild beasts, part otherwise most cruelly were slain.

Tarryl Clark: 2/3 of Bachmann's Volunteers Will Be From Outside Minnesota
From an email from the Tarryl Clark campaign:
Listen to Bachmann plead for out-of-state volunteers on Mark Levin's show.
My opponent, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, is formidable. She has spent more money than anyone has ever spent in a race for Congress, and she's spent it all on dozens of negative TV and radio ads and vicious campaign mailings. If there's a reason she thinks people ought to vote her in for a third term, she certainly hasn't given it - and we can't find one either.
Now, realizing too late that she's being out-organized on the ground, Michele Bachmann is asking people from other states to fly to the 6th District to help her get out the vote. A recent analysis showed that more than 2/3 of her money is coming from out of state - now it seems 2/3 of her volunteers will, too.
Listen to Bachmann plead for out-of-state volunteers on Mark Levin's show.
Michele Bachmann Wants Crazy Mark Levin to Teach the Constitution to Congress Members
Bachmann & Levin let loose their flying monkeys... Bachmann whines about her opposition. Bachmann invites Mark Levin to teach at her Constitution classes at Congress. Bachmann also pleads with Levin's listeners from outside Minnesota to call people in her district for her campaign.
Tarryl Clark Mentions Bachmann's Pardon Request for Convicted Money Launderer Frank Vennes Jr.
Post-debate interview with Tarryl Clark from The Uptake:
Listen (2:00):
Clark is talking about Bachmann's connection to convicted felon Frank Vennes Jr.:
Some background... from the Strib :
Instead of reporting his suspicions to authorities, Frank Vennes told only his lawyer Craig Howse. Even though he had suspicions that the money he received from Petters was tainted, he donated thousands of the tainted dollars to Bachmann's campaign and continued to serve on the board of Minnesota Teen Challenge where Bachmann later donated the tainted $$$.
The same month Frank Vennes is reported to have learned he was involved in a massive Ponzi scheme, Bachmann wrote a letter (dated December 10, 2007) to George Bush requesting a pardon for Frank Vennes.
According to this Strib article on Frank Vennes, Vennes made a lot of money working for Petters:
From another Strib article about Tom Petter's complicated philanthropy:
Karl Bremer in MnIndy:

Recent news: Bankruptcy trustee Doug Kelley seeks $2.7 billion from Petters associate Frank Vennes Jr.
She [Bachmann] put in for a pardon for a convicted drug dealer and money launderer...
Listen (2:00):
Clark is talking about Bachmann's connection to convicted felon Frank Vennes Jr.:
In 2008, it was revealed that Bachmann had received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Frank Vennes Jr. and his family. Vennes is a convicted money-launderer/cocaine runner/gun runner for whom Bachmann had requested a presidential pardon in 2007.
When Vennes became implicated—but never charged—in the Tom Petters multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme in 2008, it didn’t take long for Bachmann to abandon her principled “innocent until proven guilty” stance. She quickly rescinded her pardon request for her close personal friend, and then tried to further save face by giving away a portion of the money she had taken from Vennes and family—although it was only $9,200 of the $27,400 she had hauled in from the Vennes family from 2005-2008.
Bachmann first tried to give the money to Minnesota Teen Challenge, a favorite evangelical charity of Bachmann’s that once had very close ties to Vennes. He is a former board member of the organization. However, Minnesota Teen Challenge allegedly lost $5.7 million in investments in Petters companies that were made through one of Vennes’ companies.
Rich Scherber, executive director of Minnesota Teen Challenge, said his organization sent Bachmann’s $9,200 check back without even cashing it.
“We didn’t want to be involved if it was dirty money,” Scherber said at the time.
Bachmann eventually found a willing taker for her tainted Vennes money when she donated it to R3, a collaborative of Christian recovery groups that happens to include Minnesota Teen Challenge.
Some background... from the Strib :
Frank Vennes Jr., a Shoreview businessman who recruited investors for Tom Petters, learned that the operation might be a fraud scheme in December 2007
Instead of reporting his suspicions to authorities, Frank Vennes told only his lawyer Craig Howse. Even though he had suspicions that the money he received from Petters was tainted, he donated thousands of the tainted dollars to Bachmann's campaign and continued to serve on the board of Minnesota Teen Challenge where Bachmann later donated the tainted $$$.
The same month Frank Vennes is reported to have learned he was involved in a massive Ponzi scheme, Bachmann wrote a letter (dated December 10, 2007) to George Bush requesting a pardon for Frank Vennes.
According to this Strib article on Frank Vennes, Vennes made a lot of money working for Petters:
According to a federal search warrant affidavit, Vennes was a facilitator who persuaded five major investors to invest $1.2 billion in companies controlled by Petters. The document says Vennes collected more than $28 million in commissions for his work.
From another Strib article about Tom Petter's complicated philanthropy:
In 2006, a company called Metro Gem, run by Shorewood businessman Frank Vennes Jr., donated $60,000. That same year, the foundation gave $275,000 to Minnesota Teen Challenge, an investor in Petters Co. Inc. that runs one of the state's largest drug and alcohol recovery programs. Vennes sat on the Teen Challenge board for seven years until he resigned Oct. 2.
Vennes has not been charged in the fraud case, but court documents say he made nearly all of his substantial income by brokering investments for Petters' companies.
Karl Bremer in MnIndy:
Following his and his wife’s initial $4,200 contribution to Bachmann in 2005, Vennes — who does not live in Bachmann’s congressional district — dumped another $10,000 into her campaign coffers in 2006. In December 2007, Bachmann used the power of her office to write a recommendation for a presidential pardon of Vennes.
“As a U.S. Representative, I am confident of Mr. Vennes’ successful rehabilitation and that a pardon will be good for the neediest of society,” Bachmann wrote to the U.S. Office of Pardon Attorney. “Mr. Vennes is seeking a pardon so that he may be further used to help others. As I know from personal experience, Mr. Vennes has used his business position and success to fund hundreds of nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping the neediest in our society.”
In addition, Bachmann noted that Vennes needed a pardon because he “still encounters the barriers of his past and especially in the area of finance loan documents.” Bachmann has refused to further explain the nature of her “personal experience” with Vennes or clarification of the finance loan documents to which she refers in her letter.
On June 30, 2008 — six months after Bachmann wrote her pardon recommendation for Vennes — he and his wife gave another $9,200 to Bachmann’s campaign.
Then, on Sept. 24, federal agents raided Vennes’ $5 million Shorewood home on Lake Minnetonka in connection with the Petters investigation and seized “boxes and buckets of silver and gold coins, trays of jewelry, five stacks of $100 bills, boxes of gem stones, silver plates and Rolex watches,” along with diamond rings and artwork. His $6 million oceanfront home in Jupiter, Fla., was raided also and among the items seized was a briefcase containing “256 $20 gold pieces dated 1904, and eight uncirculated one-half dollar pieces.”

Another Awful 6CD Debate - Another Big FAIL for the Mainstream Media
Audio at MPR.
DB reader Lady comments:
More Bachmann-friendly questions about business - you'd never know we were a nation at war or that a record-breaking "landicane" passed over Minnesota Tuesday ... Think Progress says meteorologist Paul Douglas is a "recovering Republican" what with the GOP run by anti-scientific, global warming denying politicos like Bachmann and Emmer. The environment, energy, transportation? Health? education? The MSM gave Bachmannn a free ride.
Speaking of education, Bachmann wants to abolish the Department of Education.
DB reader Lady comments:
My MPR debate summary:
1. Was there a moderator/timekeeper?
2. Talking over your opponent is rude and a disservice to the political process.
3. I hope someone is fact checking what is being said.
HRM seemed almost desperate to voice over and distract listeners when Clark began using specific examples of MB's votes and their impact on constituents. Does she really think being the loudest will keep the message from getting out?
Bachmann staffer (we know you read this blog) please thank HRM Bachmann for taking time out of her busy FOX News appearance schedule and spending 25 minutes trying to bend reality to fit her rhetoric.

Bradlee Dean's Ministry of Hate Scrubs "Street Team" Video From You Tube
Yesterday, we had a post about the phenomenal fundraising success of You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International, fronted by radio hate-talker and Bachmann pal Bradlee Dean (Bradley Dean Smith) which reported a whopping increase in revenue in one year from $385,703 to $1,015,605.
According to YCRBYCH's 2009 #990 much of that fundraising success is due to YCRBYCH's amazing "street teams". The street teams hauled in a whopping $444,126! See a Craig's List job description for the YCRBYCH street team we posted on Dump Bachmann last June:
Now, if you round that number off to $444K, it gets kind of interesting... the number 444 apparently has a special significance for some numerology aficionados. Just a coincidence, I'm sure...
YCRBYCH's 990 says the following about their incredible street teams:
Let's do some math - 6 days a week for 52 weeks = 312 days a year. Divide $444K by 312 and that equals $1,423 a day - WOW!
This video showing a street team at work has recently been removed from You Tube... is YCRBYCH trying to hide the amazing fundraising techniques of their street teams?

LTE:" Emmer’s ties to hate-filled groups are an abomination "
Letter in the Bemidji Pioneer:
It's not just Bachmann and Emmer, Bradlee Dean has the support of many top politcos in the MN GOP.
Read how Bradlee Dean (Bradley Dean Smith) and his ministry of hate reported a whopping increase in revenue in one year from $385,703 to $1, 015,605.
Hate pays:
This spring I read about Tom Emmer giving financial support to a “Christian” group who encourages countries like Uganda and Nigeria to enact the death penalty for gays. At the time, I thought, “Emmer couldn’t possibly know what this group endorses.” Then just recently I learned from the Minnesota Independent that both Michele Bachmann and Tom Emmer’s campaigns have intimate ties with the “Christian” rock band, “You Can Run But You Cannot Hide.”
The GOP also sponsored a booth for this rock band at this year’s state Republican Convention.
Just what does “You Can Run But You Cannot Hide” have to say about the subject of homosexuality? Well, according to their front man, Bradlee Dean, they believe that gay people should be murdered, much like they are in conservative Muslim countries. “Muslims are calling for the executions of homosexuals in America,” Dean said. “This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination.”
I feel spewing this kind of hate and calling for the death of American citizens is an abomination. I also absolutely know that anyone who has ties with these hate-filled young men have no business representing Minnesota citizens.
These people do not believe in “justice and liberty for all.”
