    Democrats of the Red Rocks will hold the first Mayoral and City Council Forum of 2012 at its January 19th  Breakfast at the Olde Sedona Bar and Grill. So far DORR’s is the only Candidate’s forum scheduled in January. At this writing  there are only two other forums scheduled.  One is hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, Main Street, and the Lodging Council (Feb 13th) and the other one is hosted by the League of Women Voters on Feb 16th.  Ballots go out beginning the week of February 16th for the March 13th election. All voting is by mail. There have been some problems in the past with receiving ballots, so if you don’t receive one by February 23rd you must immediately contact the Yavapai Recorders Office which is managing the election .

    All the candidates have agreed to come and speak at the DORR Breakfast Forum. Mayor Rob Adams is running unopposed, but five council candidates are vying for three city council spots; Mark DiNunzio, John Martinez, John D. Miller, Joe Vernier, and Jessica Williamson. Each candidate will have a few minutes to introduce themselves and talk about the goals of their campaign before beginning written questions from the audience. If time permits, the floor will be opened for questions directly from the audience. DORR board member Mike Cosentino from Cottonwood will MC the discussion. Everyone is welcome.  You don’t have to be a DORR member or even a Democrat or Independent. Bring a friend! Bring a contribution to the Sedona Food Bank!

    For those who can’t attend the forums the DORR Board’s Questionnaire has been sent. Two Candidates have responded so far. Results at:http://www.democratsoftheredrocks.org/DORR/question2012.php

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
