Another Blues Night at Victory Theatre

 Main Street was the place to be Thursday evening with both Aces’ Hoopfest at Ford Center and Tedeschi Trucks band at Victory Theatre. Hundreds of Tedeschi Trucks Band fans lined the street anticipating a great night, and they were not disappointed.

Victory Theatre doors opened at 7 PM and the fun did not end until late in the evening Thursday night. Cedell Davis and Brethren started the night and rocked the theatre while getting fans ready for the main event. Grammy Award winners Tedeschi Trucks Band took the stage and the crowd sang with Susan’s soulful voice and were amazed at Derek Trucks’ sliding riffs as they performed with their eight other band members for a jam packed “Blues Rock” night.

“With Tedeschi Trucks Band, Victory Theatre continues to bring National Blues acts to Evansville,” stated Victory Theatre Executive Director, Scott Schoenike.

The Victory Theatre continues a busy schedule with The National Circus and Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China Presenting “Peking Dreams” – October 26,

DR RICHARD MOSS FORMALLY ANNOUNCES FOR CONGRESS

18

Last Saturday supporters of Dr. Richard Moss for Congress braved the dropping temperatures  at the Four Freedoms Monument in Evansville to help him formally launch his campaign for 8th District Congressman. The crowd cheered enthusiastically as he spoke of creating a new conservative Republican Party.

Dr. Moss said “Like many conservatives, I am disgusted with today’s “Stand-For-Nothing” Republican Leadership. Over the past year, they have caved on every major issue. Not one single critical issue did they stand up and fight for beyond meaningless Washington bluster and political theater. Republicans control both chambers of Congress thanks to us. They control overwhelming majorities of governorship’s and statehouses thanks to us. We didn’t send them there to work with Obama but to oppose him! Yet for the past year they have behaved no differently than a Democrat Congress would have. On the debt, Obamacare, amnesty, Loretta Lynch, the EPA, the Supreme Court, gutting the military, ISIS, Cuba, “fast-track status,” the Import-Export Bank, Planned Parenthood, securing the border, and the horrendous nuclear deal with Iran, the Republican leadership has been a reliable supporter of – Barack Obama. Republican leadership must be defeated beginning with House Speaker John Boehner and his loyal foot soldiers in the House including Congressman Larry Bucshon (8th Congressional District). On issue after issue, Larry Bucshon has voted with the Republican Establishment – and Barack Obama.

We can no longer stand for business as usual. We can no longer accept big government Republicans like John Boehner and his acolyte Larry Bucshon who campaign one way and vote another. We need a new Conservative Republican Party that stands firmly on the side of liberty, limited government, and the Constitution, a determined, principled Republican party, as Reagan said, “of bold colors not pale pastels.” We also need a true conservative Republican representing the 8th Congressional donservative paristrict – not another Establishment Republican like Larry Bucshon. We need someone who will oppose the Republican Establishment and the Democrats and fight for American workers, American citizens, and America herself – someone who will vote to undo tyhe damage of the Obama years and restore American greatness. With your help, I will be that representative.”

Dr. Moss is no stranger to conservatism as he has written articles published across the state for 10 years. An Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon from Jasper Indiana who also works out of Washington Indiana, he sees every day the effect the policies of this administration has on working class families.

He has spent extensive time volunteering, speaking and visiting in the middle east, Israel, South and Central America, Africa and Asia and has first-hand knowledge of the role America plays in the world stage. His supporters believe as I do that he is the man who can best represent the 8th District in Congress. If you would like to join him in his campaign or donate visit his website at rmoss4congress.com or communicate directly with his campaign at HQ@rmoss4congress.com or phone at 812-684-0971.

IS IT TRUE OCTOBER 23, 2015

38

IS IT TRUE any time that someone looks at numbers whether for a polling agency or to interpret election results? …certain assumptions are made which allow whomever is analyzing the data to make an educated guess as to what happened and what is likely to happen in the future?

IS IT TRUE the only assumptions made in this causal analysis are that the primary voters will vote in a substantially similar manner to how they voted in the primary? …the causal assumption made here is that roughly the same number of voters will turn out this fall as they did four years ago?

IS IT TRUE while it is unfair to directly compare the primary vote totals of the two Mayoral candidates, the numbers can be used to give us a reasonable guide as to what to expect in the fall?   …the wild cards in this causal analysis are the votes that will be cast for the Independent Mayoral candidates Steve Wozniak and Republican not voting because of the Jack Schriber scandal in the November 3, 2015 general election?

IS IT TRUE there were a total of 6,503 votes cast in the May primary? …the results show Mayor Winnecke receiving 1,723 to Gail Riecken’s 3,785 or a difference of 2,062?

IS IT TRUE It’s no secret that many more people voted in the Democratic primary than in the Republican primary?  … does this discrepancy between the Republican and Democrat slates invalidate any comparison of the Mayoral totals or can they still be used as a guide to how this race is shaping up?

IS IT TRUE during the 2011 general election, there were 21,673 votes cast for Mayoral candidatesI? … If we assume that the 6,503 people that voted in the primary will return to vote in the fall, then we would expect Mayor Winnecke to remain approximately 2,000 votes behind after their votes are tallied? … after those 6,500 people cast their ballots, there should be around 15,000 votes remaining? …In order to tie, Mayor Winnecke would have to receive 2,000 votes to offset Ms. Riecken’s lead and then get an additional 6,500 of the remaining 13,000 votes.? …In other words, after losing the race among the roughly 6,500 primary voters by over 2,000 votes, the Mayor would have to get over 65% of the remaining 15,000 votes to win?

IS IT TRUE we predict that whom ever wins the Mayoral election shall do so by a very slim margin?

IS IT TRUE we look forward to reading your causal breakdown of  the Mayoral election results for the upcoming November 3, 2015 election?

IS IT TRUE that last night Mayoral debate spent 25 minutes discussing the Jack Schriber situation?  …very few  pointed questions were asked by the panel on the real issues of the campaign?  …if they were they had very little substance? … voters gained very little from this debate ?  …the debate moderator let the debate become boring? …to bad that Brad Bryd of Channel 25 wasn’t the moderator because we know that he would had keep the debate moving and lively?  …the entire debate was a lost opportunity for the people of Evansville?

IS IT TRUE that Gail Riecken took a shot at Winnecke concerning the financial drain on the city’s pocketbook.  …Mrs. Riecken pointed out that the city had $4 million in reserves in the General Fund 3 1/ 2 years ago?  …she charged that the General Fund has gone down every year?  …she also stated that this fund had only $300,000 beginning this year?  …Mayor Winnecke stated that this a typical move that a Mayor makes?   …the Mayor also stated that this is no more than, if you get paid on one Monday and you’re running low on cash on Friday,  and you just taking something out of your savings account to put in your checking account to pay bills? …our comment to this statement is ‘are you kidding us”?

IS IT TRUE that the debate panel’s questions about the Schriber scandal appeared to make the Mayor very uncomfortable?  …he just kept repeating that he had to guard the integrity of the investigation, whatever question was asked about this issue?

IS IT TRUE we are extremely pleased that the Jack Schriber’s City Council campaign funds will be returned to donors by the end of the year? …the remaining funds remaining funds for “Citizens for Schriber” campaign will be returned, on a pro-rata basis to campaign contributors?

IS IT TRUE the next move that Mr. Schribers campaign committee should do is  publicly ask fellow Republicans not to vote for him but instead vote for Michelle Mercer  City Council at Large instead?  …the voters can do so by not voting a straight Republican ticket?

IS IT TRUE that this years “Outstanding Community Services Award” luncheon at Tropicana-Evansville is completely sold out? …this event officially starts at 12 noon on October 26, 2015? … this means that the last six (6) “Outstanding Community Services Award” events were a sellout?
