Heads up on a Northwest Iowa lunatic

[suegeo]

The lunatic is Paul Dorr. His brother, Tom Dorr, was nominated by the election thief and war maker George Bush to some high post in the US Agriculture dept.

Like most everyone else supported by Herr Bush, Tom Dorr is a real a-hole.

I fled NW Iowa a while back. I never knew how fascist many (NOT ALL) of the people there are, until I left.

Anyway, here's the article. If you have a school funding measure to vote on, look out for this nut and fight him if you spot him.

The Gospel According to Paul Dorr

How a little-known political consultant from Iowa is beating back the menace of public education, one school referendum at a time


by Molly Priesmeyer


The first time Wayne Frank saw Paul Dorr, he was sitting in a van near the Lyle Fire Station, holding a walkie-talkie to his mouth. Dorr was instructing his teenage daughter, who held the other walkie-talkie, on the fine art of handing out flyers.

The girl and three of her ten siblings were standing outside the building, cheerfully stopping people as they passed by, and pushing Dorr-penned literature into their hands. The piece of paper held brief but pointed information about Les Norman, the superintendent from a nearby district, Lake Crystal Welcome-Memorial, who was scheduled to speak at the fire hall moments later. His district was in statutory debt, the flyer read. Do you want Lyle to end up in the same situation?

Frank, a city maintenance worker and tax assessor, and the other two members of a committee called Save Our School and Community had invited Norman because of his first-hand experience with Dorr. A home-school proponent and political consultant from Ocheyedan, Iowa, Dorr had shown up to battle the school bond referendum in Lyle, as he has throughout the Midwest. To date, Dorr has attempted to defeat 31 school bond initiatives; he has succeeded in 25 of those contests. In Minnesota, he has prevailed in four of his six campaigns.
