This is untrue, does any know the author of above piece. Did he make and
honest mistake or is there a reason for this error? . . . This series has
given much to think about and this above slip makes one wonder. We all know
the piles of money spent on understanding the threshold of beliefs and know
that a maxim of propaganda 101 is that the truth must be told, be available
in the "mix" but it is always nice if it can be easily dismissed by the
"mainstream.
The level of suppression and propaganda being done today is getting very
naked. MHO

Bill Clinton
Political Career
1974 U.S CONGRESS
REP. JOHN PAUL HAMMERSCHMIDT 52%
BILL CLINTON 48%
Clinton attempted to launch his political career when he was 28 years old by
challenging an entrenched Republican incumbent Rep. John Paul Hammerschmidt
in 1974. Hammerschmidt was first elected to Congress in 1966 to serve
Arkansas' Third district, which is in the northwestern part of the state, and
a Republican stronghold. Hammerschmidt had received 77 percent of the vote in
the 1972 election. Clinton came close, losing by only 5000 votes out of
170,000 votes cast.
Helping to defeat Clinton were Republican claims that he was an anti-war
protester while in college. Although Clinton was narrowly defeated, the race
drew statewide attention.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1976 DEM. PRIMARY FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
CLINTON 56%
GEORGE JERNIGAN 25%
CLARENCE CASH 19%
CLINTON UNOPPOSED IN 1976 GENERAL ELECTION FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
Since Clinton was unopposed in the general election, he directed Jimmy
Carter's presidential campaign in Arkansas. As Attorney General, Clinton
fought against pollution and worked to hold down electricity and telephone
rates. He also repealed bans on advertising for liquor and eyeglasses. He
opposed a campaign to end the state sales tax on food and medicine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1978 - GOVERNOR
CLINTON 63%
A. LYNN LOWE 37%
Clinton was 32 when he became governor, and was perceived as something of a
political "wonder boy." Clinton recruited some of his college and law school
friends to help his administration but they were viewed as "outsiders" who
thought of Arkansas as a state of "country bumpkins." Nor were people
comfortable with Hillary's feminist agenda or her disregard of social
protocol.
Clinton had promised to improve Arkansas' roads if he was elected. He raised
taxes in order to fulfill his promise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1980 - GOVERNOR
FRANK WHITE 52%
CLINTON 48%
Arkansas voters rejected Clinton after one term, in part, from their
perception that Clinton and his wife Hillary were arrogant. (Hillary used her
maiden name throughout the term).
In addition, voters were angry that Clinton had raised auto license fees to
pay for highway improvements. Frank White, a savings and loan president from
Little Rock, focused on Clinton's increases in the gasoline tax and auto
registration fees. He also said the Clinton administration was characterized
by overspending and inefficiency. In the year of the Reagan landslide,
Clinton also caught part of the backlash generated when the Carter
administration housed Cuban refugees at an Arkansas military base (Fort
Chaffee) and the Cubans rioted.
Clinton was devastated by the loss, and spent the next two years trying to
get back in touch with Arkansas voters, and readjusting his message to appear
more centrist.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1982 - GOVERNOR
CLINTON 55%
FRANK WHITE 45%
Clinton asked voters for another chance, promising he had "learned from
defeat that you can't lead without listening." He was forced into a runoff in
the Democratic primary, finally defeating former Lt. Governor Joe Purcell.
During their 1982 rematch, Clinton portrayed Gov. White as untrustworthy and
dominated by special interests. He also attacked White for not fulfilling a
1980 campaign promise to bring new industries to the state. He blamed utility
rate increases on White's appointees to the state utilities commission.
White also was vulnerable because of a controversial law he'd approved
calling for the teaching of "creation science" (the biblical version of
creation) along with the theory of evolution in Arkansas' schools. (The U.S.
Supreme Court struck down the law in 1982). White ran TV ads using a leopard,
reminding voters that Clinton couldn't change his spots. White also attacked
Clinton for commuting death sentences during his term as governor. Clinton
responded by promising to be more restrained about issuing commutations if
reelected.

Winthrop Rockefeller
The grandson of John D. Rockefeller, the billionaire founder of Standard Oil,
Winthrop Rockefeller spent a lifetime sharing his personal wealth with others.
Almost the instant he moved to Arkansas at age 41, Win Rockefeller became
involved with myriad charitable organizations and causes. He was the original
financial supporter of a Little Rock�based forerunner of the Head Start
program. He built a modern health clinic in Perry County, made possible a
model public school in Morrilton, and created the Arkansas Opportunity Fund
to provide scholarships to high school seniors. Win Rockefeller was also very
generous with the Arkansas Arts Center, the University of Arkansas, several
hospitals, and many other charitable organizations.
While establishing a spectacular agricultural operation at Winrock Farms, Win
Rockefeller also served as chairman of the Arkansas Industrial Development
Commission. During his tenure, 90,000 new jobs were created. In 1966, he was
elected governor of Arkansas, and he was reelected to another two-year term
in 1968.
The Governor's philanthropy in Arkansas was marked by much more than the
millions of dollars he gave to worthwhile causes. He brought a concern and a
determination to Arkansas about equal opportunity�including racial equality.
By the force of his will and leadership, and with his financial clout, he
made equality work in education, in the workplace, and in government.
Almost to the end of his life, Winthrop Rockefeller continued to look ahead,
to share his vision for Arkansas, and to employ his resources in making a
better, more equitable place for all Arkansans.
