KEY BLOCK----- Thanks, John. Appreciate your sharing. It's actually worse than that. Honda attacked Ro on the eve of his campaign launch with the same stupid attacks he did last year. The press felt the need to debunk them (see below), but I've also included an example of the feedback from the tech community out here (see email below). John, every time Honda attacks Ro's tech and south asian supporters it has a dampening effect on fundraising for Hillary and other Dem candidates. What are your thoughts? Had any time to digest what you and I discussed in your home? This is madness and political malpractice of the Party to allow this to continue...on a personal level, I'd really like to not have to focus on this race and thus be able to dedicate all my political volunteer leadership energies to Hillary. http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/2015/05/28/ca17-honda-attacks-khannas-usual-suspects/ -------- Original message -------- From: Amy Rao <[email protected]> Date: 05/28/2015 5:00 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Chris Nichols <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Honda launches usual suspects website... Despicable!! *From:* Chris Nichols *Sent:* Thursday, May 28, 2015 4:37 PM *To:* Amy Rao *Subject:* Honda launches usual suspects website... Take a look at this when you get a chance. Honda is launching this website tomorrow on the eve of Ro’s announcement. http://rosusualsuspects.com/ These kind of tactics really hurt the party and this is precisely why Honda needs to go. I don’t think Nancy Pelosi would be happy if she was aware of this. Hopefully she or the Hillary campaign will intervene at some point because Honda is spinning (and attacking) donors who have supported Democrats. John Arnold and Marc Leder have both given to Cory Booker, Joe Kennedy, and others. He is also attacking every billionaire that donates to Ro, many whom support other Democrats as well. So much for a grace period before this race gets ugly. Makes me sick. CA17: Honda attacks Khanna’s ‘usual suspects’ <http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/2015/05/28/ca17-honda-attacks-khannas-usual-suspects/> By Josh Richman Thursday, May 28th, 2015 at 5:04 pm in Mike Honda <http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/category/house/mike-honda/>, U.S. House <http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/category/house/>. With Ro Khanna <http://rokhanna.com/> about to launch his second campaign <http://bayareane.ws/1FVYBCe> to unseat Rep. Mike Honda <http://mikehonda.com/> on Saturday, Honda’s campaign has fired a shot across his bow – a website taking potshots at Khanna’s deep-pocketed campaign contributors, including some of Silicon Valley’s most successful investors and executives. The RosUsualSuspects.com <http://rosusualsuspects.com/> page seems to revive many of the attacks that Honda, D-San Jose, leveled last year against his Democratic challenger during the ugly 17th Congressional District <http://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/downloads/meeting_handouts_082011/map_20110815_ap_cd_17_certified.pdf> race. Honda won an eighth term by 3.6 percentage points. [image: honda.jpg]“The Honda campaign will be aggressively reminding voters who is behind the obscene amounts of money that the challenger will raise and spend in his continued pursuit of power,” Adam Alberti, a spokesperson for Honda’s campaign, said in a statement issued Thursday afternoon. “Ro Khanna’s style-over-substance brand of politics combined with the backing of big money is a threat to the democratic process, and if successful will come at a cost to the great many members of our community who have been excluded from the tech boom and are struggling to provide for their families,” Alberti continued. “Congressman Honda believes in representing the entire district, not just the top 1 percent who have benefited most from our economy.” But Khanna issued a statement later Thursday afternoon saying “attacks like this are precisely why we need new ideas in Washington.” “This is what people do in Washington – they try to score political points with dubious guilt-by-association tactics, rather than working together to get things done,” he said. “I prefer to spend my time fighting for good paying local jobs and trying to make our community a better place, rather than engaging in political bickering.” Khanna vowed to “campaign on ideas to elevate the debate. I hope Mike Honda will offer more than the same tired old Washington attacks.” Much of what’s on the page is similar to a Honda campaign television ad we dissected last October <http://www.mercurynews.com/nation-world/ci_26786001/reality-check-hondas-ad-misleads-viewers-khannas-positions>, and merits explanation and/or refutation. John Arnold, the “Power Broker” who used to work at Enron, and his wife gave $350,000 last year to Californians for Innovation, a super PAC that spent almost $776,000 on Khanna’s behalf. Arnold also has contributed to the campaigns of President Barack Obama; U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va.; U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.; Rep. Ami Bera, D-Elk Grove; and dozens of other Democratic candidates and committees. Republican ex-Congressman Ernie Konnyu did *try* to get the Tea Party Express to spend $50,000 to support Khanna, but he was unsuccessful in convincing it to do so – so calling Khanna “their candidate” seems disingenuous at best. Marc Leder – the Florida hedge fund executive who hosted the fundraiser at which Mitt Romney made his infamous “47 percent” comment, and who gave Romney and affiliated groups more than a half-million dollars – did contribute $5,200 to Khanna’s campaign last year and has given $5,400 this year. But if that makes Khanna less of a Democrat, you’d have to say the same about U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass.; and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. – all of whom have accepted Leder’s contributions. And although Khanna’s donor list does include some executives “who would profit by cutting wages and outsourcing U.S. jobs” and “strongly opposed increasing the minimum wage to ensure fair pay for families in our region,” Khanna – a former Obama Commerce Department appointee – repeatedly has spoken against offshoring jobs and in favor of raising the minimum wage. Likewise, Peter Thiel supports Social Security privatization but Khanna does not. Khanna raised $801,000 in the first quarter of this year, mostly after C-SPAN aired footage of Honda seeming to doze off during a Feb. 27 House floor debate on homeland security funding. Honda raised $258,000 in the first quarter.
