-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Dear Brigade, "Unlike other national candidates, who do whatever they can to stay out of controversial local issues, Buchanan came to Sanford specifically to speak out against Question 2..."I know that this is a state issue, but I'm saying vote no on Question 2," Buchanan told reporters. "Frankly, it's not going to work, because if (small woodlot owners) can't get their value out of the land and they sell it, then you are going to get urban sprawl out of it..." Brigade, I just received some of the photos from Pat on the Trail in Maine and will get a full report later today. I have to go into HQ for a meeting so will not begin work on Monday's Trail Report until this evening. But stand by -- I've heard it was another outstanding day... on the Trail! See article below and if you follow the link there is a photo of PJB at a lumber mill in Sanford Maine. http://www.portland.com/news/york/001003buchanan.shtml GO PAT GO!!!!!!!!!!!! Linda ------------- Tuesday, October 3, 2000 Buchanan takes on forestry referendum By GREGORY KESICH Portland Press Herald SANFORD — Pat Buchanan donned a hard hat, posed in front of stacks of milled lumber and said he was delighted to be running for president again. "I'm an outstanding candidate whatever party I'm in," said the Reform Party nominee, who ran two other races as a Republican. "I'm someone who likes to get out and campaign. I enjoy meeting the people. I like doing the town meetings, the TV, radio, all of it." Buchanan came to Maine on Monday as part of a two-day blitz through New England that started in New Hampshire, where he won the presidential primary four years ago, and ends tonight in Boston, where his two major-party opponents will debate without him. While the LaValley Lumber yard in Sanford was a typical setting for a presidential candidate's photo opportunity, Buchanan's message was not typical. Unlike other national candidates, who do whatever they can to stay out of controversial local issues, Buchanan came to Sanford specifically to speak out against Question 2, a statewide forestry referendum that would limit timber harvesting on land in the state's tree-growth tax-relief pro-gram. "I know that this is a state issue, but I'm saying vote no on Question 2," Buchanan told reporters. "Frankly, it's not going to work, because if (small woodlot owners) can't get their value out of the land and they sell it, then you are going to get urban sprawl out of it." Proponents of the forestry referendum belittled Buchanan's statement. "It's meaningless," said Jonathan Carter, who led the campaign to get Question 2 on the ballot. "Mr. Buchanan doesn't know the first thing about what is happening in the Maine woods. He is eager to come here and exploit this issue by energizing the forces of right-wing extremism in the state of Maine." On the contrary, LaValley chief executive officer Brian Thayer said Buchanan understands the issue completely. Thayer said hosting Buchanan was not an endorsement for the candidate, but he welcomed the attention Buchanan's visit brought to the issue. A crowd of 15 people followed Buchanan throughout his tour of the lumber mill and watched him pose next to Bob Lord, who was inspecting pine finish board for imperfections. A recent statewide poll conducted by Strategic Marketing Services showed Buchanan with less than 1 percent support in Maine. He is not daunted. "Maine has always been friendly to independents," Buchanan said. "We just got out on the road a week and a half ago, and we are just starting from ground zero. We've got to give it everything we've got." In addition to Question 2, Buchanan weighed in on several other issues. Buchanan called his exclusion from the presidential debates "a minor conspiracy" by the Presidential Debate Commission, which is made up entirely of Democrats and Republicans. "The American people have been denied the right to hear a presidential candidate that they are paying for with their tax dollars," Buchanan said. On projected high heating costs this winter, Buchanan called for opening up protected lands to oil drilling, increasing electrical generation through more use of coal and nuclear power, and adopting a get-tough policy with oil-producing countries. "No foreign aid, no World Bank loans, no IMF loans, and, frankly, no security guarantees for any country that conspires in looting the American people," he said. Jeff Robinson, a college student and disabled veteran, said he left the Republican Party when Arizona Sen. John McCain lost the nomination to Texas Gov. George W. Bush. Robinson said he will vote for Buchanan, even though he doesn't expect him to win, and he is not worried about wasting his vote. "Voting your conscience and vision is what keeps this country going forward," he said. Later, at a forum at Edward Little High School in Auburn, Buchanan's camp allowed questions from protesters who had been outside carrying signs saying ''Buchanan promotes hate,'' among other messages. Some criticized his stance against measures such as an upcoming Maine ballot item that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. One student, referring to Buchanan's anti-abortion and other stances, asked ''how can you impose your morality on us?'' Buchanan responded that laws against prostitution, drugs and racial discrimination show that the government has long been in the business of taking stances on what might be called moral issues.
