Ameri endorsed by conservative over-60 lobby group
New on Goli Ameri's "news" page is an endorsement from James Martin of GrayPac. As it states on her website, this group is actively opposed to the estate tax. However, what her website doesn't say is that Mr Martin's group "The 60 Plus Association" is the "conservative alternative to the AARP".
Goli is tring to style herself as a moderate Republican, yet she is getting endorsements from extremely conservative groups.
I did some research on James L Martin (go ahead and Google him yourself) and found that not only is he the head of the 60 Plus Association, he has been buddies with W since the 60's, he has published at least one commentary about tax reform in the Moonie-owned Washington Times, and he is the president of the Calvert Institute, a conservative think tank with tons of Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute people listed as "experts".
(In the spirit of Halloween and the scariness of the season, click here if you want to read an actual speech of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon.)
According to the sites listed above, Martin supports privatizing Social Security and drilling in ANWAR. Since he has an article on repealing the death tax on the website of the National Retail Sales Tax Association, it's likely that he supports a national retail sales tax.
He is against re-importation of medication and the Kyoto treaty. He apparently even doubts that global warming is occurring. In a speech in 2000, he notes that the 60-Plus organization is an active member in the Cooler Heads Coalition, a group dedicated to dispelling the myths of global warming.
It could even be argued that Martin's lobbying efforts (scroll down) in Florida helped put Bush in the White House.
Yikes. If Martin and his PAC are supporting Goli, what is are expecting in return if she wins?
