Due to circumstances that have yet to be figured out, Frank Antenori (R-8) did not appear on Air America Radio today. AAR said that if it was their foul-up, they would reschedule Frank for another time.
- Roll Call refers to Gabrielle Giffords (D-8) as “the apparent Democratic frontrunner in Arizona’s 8th district” and talks about why her boyfriend will be far away this July 4th.
- Mike Caccioppoli (D-1) is on the offensive once again: “We have discovered a disturbing piece of information about Ellen Simon regarding her husband Blaine Tanner’s contribution for $2,500 to the National Republican Congressional Committee in 2003. This is the organization that helped Rick Renzi defeat Paul Babbitt in 2004.”

There goes my support for Ellen. I think she can win but I won’t support a Renzi-lover.
SedonaRocks-
What does a contribution her husband made have anything to do with her views? I’m sure James Carville would have a thing or two to say if someone called him a Republican supporter because of his wife’s views.
I’d have to agree with SR’s sentiment. More often than not, husbands and wives share political perspectives. But, that’s certainly not a cardinal rule, as the case in point cited by Geoff illustrates. Sometimes, opposites do attracts, and Ellen’s husband’s wrong-headed right-wing thinking isn’t the issue. Getting rid of the carpetbagger Renzi is!
SedonaRocks, If you want to restore check and balance to government, every vote for Democrats count.
I am not a big fan of many Dems, but the majority in congress will set the agenda for the Bush Whitehouse and we need to stop the madness.
eerrr… I meant disagree with SR’s sentiment
Ellen Simon is married to my ex-husband Blaine Tanner. Ellen Simon and her husband had our children and me in Court yet again, on June 28th, 2006, where I reside in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Ellen Simon and Blaine Tanner are looking to eradicate the child support and all Court ordered education and medical needs of the children. To date, that Court Order has been breached in three places. Ellen Simon and Blaine Tanner were married on December 12th, 1997, six months after they met in the Turks and Caicos. Blaine Tanner and Ellen Simon never informed her step-children that they had married and were living the United States. Ellen Simon only met two of her step-children in July of 2000. What amazes us is that Ellen Simon says she is all about family values, and all of the issues for children regarding health, stem cell research for diabetes and education for the middle class. The problem is, Ellen Simon has four step-children and has never met her step-daughter who is the same age as her own daughter. This step-daughter is indeed disabled and has a compromised health situation and special needs right across the board. Ellen Simon has had nothing to do with this step-daughter and even refuses to know her at all. Yet she represents complete strangers just like her. Her step-daughter is diabetic type one, just like the people she is fighting for regarding stem cell research. In his affidavit, Blaine Tanner states that he hasn’t worked for years and is supported by Ellen Simon. In his financial statement, Blaine Tanner states that he has lost $35,000,000 U.S. and that his wife Ellen Simon only makes $300,000 U.S. a year. Their lawyer stood up and stated that Ellen Simon pays all of the child support and arrears, which was based on an income of $125,000 a year. The documentation I have is voluminous, fraudulent and full of lies. It will all be presented in Court. When filed, all of the documentation becomes public record for anyone to view. We do not have the means to hire the most expensive lawyers in the United States and Canada. But we do have the truth on our side and it speaks volumes. Everything we do in life boils down to respect, integrity, honor and being impeccable with your word. We are all brought to our knees irrespective of any lifestyle or vocation. In Ontario, Canada alone, there is over 1.9 billion dollars owed by deadbeat parents. There are also over 225,000 families who live with this reality every day. When you add in all of the provinces and all of the states, it is overwhelming. Maybe my purpose in life is to help change the laws governing the responsibilities of parents to their children with this historical and precedent setting case. If it wasn’t part of family law, the act of deliberately avoiding the upbringing and nurturance of children, would be enforced under the criminal code. The internet is a wonderful vehicle for people to connect and truly make a difference in this world. I thank you for your time in reading what I have written.

At least ellen is loyal to her current husband,blaine tanner.despite a virtual barrage of lawsuits and judgements in canada and the United States —you candidates are missing the point with ellen it is not paersonal-it is her—-she(apparently enjoyed keeping employers and fellow employees in line—-I’m not sure of the exact nature of her cases—seems like employee benifits l? health care.?,and discrimination—-*imagine there is a strong likelihood she was one of the civil libertarians who forced men(with lawsuits) to shut & don’t joke around in the office or face a lawsuit——-well-lets not shut up NOW
ref—ellen simon and blaine tanner with all the attention on blaine tannerskids,ex wife etc—-lets not forget cleveland’s guardian capital,guardian shield,guardian holdins,fla real estate.etc—as we shall see many more people were hurt by the greedy shenanigans
RE: Pam Tanner
Pam Tanner speaks of her children as being small and fragile, yet in fact they are all grown adults over the age of 18. Forgot to mention that fact Pam!
Who really cares what a disgruntled ex-spouse says?
Well ELLEN SIMON MET THE BROKE(OR SO HE HAS TOLD US AND CANADIAN AUTHORITIES)-SEEMS LIKE AGE DOESN’T MATTER—JUDGEMENT DOES-(ESPECIALLY FOR A CONGRESS MEMBER—–A GOOD ARTICLE TO READ—FROM GOOGLE—–COURTS STILL TRYIING TO GET GUARDIANS TANNER BACK TO CANADA-AND HOW ONE DEADBEAT DAD IS LIVING HIGH ON THE HOG—THE FIRST ARTICLE SHOWS A DISREGARD FOR IOTHER PEOPLES MONEY-YOU BE THE JUDGE
Joe,
Last time I checked, Canadians couldn’t run for the US House of Representatives.
Why don’t you talk about Ellen Simon and how she plans to make things better for Arizona. Or why not discuss Renzi and how he has voted with the Bush Administration 99% of the time and see what that has gotten us! This same Bush Administration that sent us to war (and yes we are now in the middle of a civil war in Iraq) on lies and halftruths. The same administration that claims they can’t do anything about gas being $3 a gallon and a host of other lies and fears that are being fed down Americans throats.
Ellen is not attending debates—is she afraid to explain how the “broke”—He says,ha,ha)—was able(after marrying her opened several corporations—-again—peolple need to read up on the 29 million default and FBI investigation of guardian group of cleveland
ref—google—courts still trying to get guardiand tanner back to canada
Current article on ESimon in THE NOISE refers to her “BAGS OF CASH & BAGS OF BAGGAGE.” Arizona Republic going to run something on this next week? These character/judgment issues are not going away. Primary season is for vetting the candidates. Ms Simon seems good on paper, but Renzi/Rove is going to eat her for breakfast if she gets past the September 12th voting.
UNFORTUNATELY SHE IS NOT ELECTABLE IN THIS MOSTLY RURAL CD-1 DISTRICT. She should run for Sedona city council or something instead.
Ellen’s daughter and her step-daughter are the same age. With or without child support this sounds like a messy affair. That means Ellen, herself, made some choices not very in tune with family values.
As a fellow Canadian I am disgusted with the actions of Blaine. A deadbeat dad is the same in any country on our planet.He has given up his responsibilities of fatherhood north of the boarder.Way to go Blaine you have not change since I knew you in our Toronto neighbourhood many years ago.You were a self serving, dishonest and pompous weasel back then now you have learned to play the legal game much better.Feel proud that you have grown since Tom first hired you.Do us all a favour up here stay south for Blaine you have disgraced the common sense and integrity of East York and in a bigger picture your former country.Sleep well
