Political articles

From the late-18th to early-19th centuries, it was established practice for political articles to be signed with pseudonyms. A well-known American was the pen name "Publius", used by Alexander HamiltonJames Madison, and John Jay, in writing The Federalist Papers. In his youth, Benjamin Franklin wrote a number of letters to his brother's newspaper posing as a widow under the pen name Silence Dogood. The British political writer "Junius" was never identified.

VOP OSILI
Both of the candidates have interesting backgrounds, though Osili's background is particularly compelling.  Vop Osili was born in Lagos, Nigeria, to a Nigerian father and an American mother. Osili's parents nicknamed him "Vop" when he was a toddler due to his talkative nature - "Vop" being short for "Voice of the People".  Osili and his mother fled to America in the wake of the Nigerian Civil War, with Osili's father staying behind for another five years to aid in the cause. Osili lived with his maternal grandparents in Indianapolis once he arrived in America, and he's lived in Indiana (aside from attending Carnegie-Mellon University and Columbia University) ever since.  He has acted as a missionary to Haiti and other developing nations, has worked on architecture and infrastructure development projects in Indianapolis, and has served on a variety of city government boards over the span of the last decade.  Charlie White has been a lifelong Hoosier and earned a law degree at Valparaiso University.  He's practiced family law and has served as an attorney for a family-owned business.  White also served as a Judge Pro-Tem for Superior and Magistrate Courts, later serving as Assistant Director and Special Counsel for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Mr. Kern's manager, Ms. Adande, who changed her own name while running unsuccessfully for office, said that the state law clearly allows candidates the use of nicknames or other familiar references on the ballot without having to legally rename themselves. Kern was the name of the grandparents who raised Mr. Hidalgo, she said. ''You could call yourself Dick Tracy out here and run for office,'' she added, noting that her own new name, Torkwase Adande, is Nigerian for Challenger Queen, in summary of her long, antic career as a political outsider.


The editor of NUVO, Harrison Ullmann, a former state house correspondent for The Star, said that, in truth, the state of Indiana's election law was no laughing matter.


State Democrats continue to fight Mr. Kern as an impostor on their ballot line, with an appeal to the state Recount Board. ''Next thing you know,'' said Mr. Harmless, the party director, ''We'll have 'Thomas Jefferson' running in Indiana.''






David Christopher Roach
LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!!!! VOTE FOR ROACH!! YESTERDAY- GROUNDHOG DAY( yes - just like the movie)- I filed paperwork as a candidate to be Democrat Allen county commissioner. My paperwork lists my name to appear on the ballot as D.C. (Legalize-Marijuana) Roach . well- it seems the ACEB has deemed that this is not acceptable on their internet link( provided below). I also filed papers to be a Democrat convention dlelgate, also listed to be as D.C. (legalize-marijuana) Roach - I have filed with different nick\names in the past- on various previous ballots, in accordance with indiana code 3-5-7-5 .
It ssem to em, that since right to work is in 24 states, and this law was rammed through/ fast tracked, and a referendum was discussed, why not allow the voters to also have a way to vote in a REEFERENDUM - as the powers that be- the authorities - wil never fast track a legalize recreational marijuana law- despite the same arguements that this will bring jobs to indiana, is also passed in the saem number of states, and they too have suffered no ill effects from it. ( same convoluted logic)
nevertheless- its up to the people to decide- and the individual candidate to call himself/herself by any nickname/ nom deplume/nom de guerre'- whatever they want. a nickname is different than a LEGAL NAME anyway- lots of people have lots of nicknames.. .

Message flagged Friday, February 3, 2012 1:45 PM
to whom it may concern- allen county election board:

I hereby respectfully request that you comply with indiana code 3-5-7-5
and correct your internet primary candidate filings; for 2012, and also- state convention delegate ( democrat)
filing pages- link: http://www.allencounty.us/candidate-filings

to accurately reflect the proper legal paperwork i filed with the election board, CAN-2; andCAN- 37 - so that the internet listing, and the documents filed at ACEB are mirrored- the same- with my name listed as :
D.C. (Legalize- Marijuana) Roach.

It is not up to you to arbitrarily decide what is acceptable, or what is not; or whether the internet links, and the paperwork filed in your office should be different.
In fact- by not properly documenting the accurate legal public records filed is likely in violation of some other state law( not cited here)- as I'm not a lawyer.

With respect to whether (Legalize-Marijuana ) is or is not a legal nickname- I would like to cite precedent- of previous filings by myself-
in a previous mayoral election- 1998, i recall- I filed a nickname as (Fort Waynes Most Wanted)- as i was getting jokes directed to me about how the police were always after me- like i was on someones most wanted list- FBI/ ; or the tv show- americas most wanted, etc- people would say- hey- its fort waynes most wanted. how ya doing, dillinger?)
the ACEB didnt raise any issue then.

In 2010- I also filed as democrat for Sheriff, with the nickname of (Mr.Roachclip) as this was a nickname i had in HS- named after a cheech and chong record album, track about a marijuana legalization advocate- a Mr Ashley Roachclip"

On other previous occasions, I filed with the nickname (papa Roach) - both for the rck band of the same name, and also the piaaz guy- papa john- When i would visit my female friends, i would say "papa roach is in the house"

So why the problem now? if we are to cite precedent- as the state laws hazve not changed with respect to nicknames..
As to (Legalize-Marijuana)- this is my most recent nickname- as i am always talking of legalizing recreational marijuana. obviously- i'm limited to 20 characters.

I see this 20 character space for a nickmane as 20 characters of freedom os speech. nicknames are not restricted by legaL NAMES- such as that appear on documents, such as drivers license applicarions, socila security cards, and so on. many different people have many different nicknames, according to the group of people they hang out with.
I have had differnt friends all n the same time frame call me "roachy, mr roachclip, smoke a roach, and so on, as well as other humorous, and not so amusing nicknames , related to insects, or marijuana.

So to cite the proper state law:
A candidate MAY use a nickname on the ballot only if the nickname satisfies the following"
1.the Nickname is a name by which the candidate is commonly known.
( in this case- I AM Mr. legalize marijuana, to several of my friends, and many others, as i am always speaking out, posting to facebook pages, my own blog, etc.. )

2. The Nicknamee does not exceed 20 characters.

( Its not like im wanting to be listed on the ballot as --excuse my language- used to make a point- )
(fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck) - which is 20 characters.. but if a person did, there is no legal restriction- maybe thats there favorite word, or anything any other reason. who decides what is and is not a nickname? what is "IS"IS?

3. The nickname complies with subsection (e) - listed below-

(e)- a candidate MAY NOT use a:

1. title, or degree as a designation.
( example- Doctor, reverend, professor, jd, PHD, and so on?)

2. designation that implies a title or degree

So as i understand this reading of the applicable state law, and given the fact that i have read many laws, and have a college degree in economics, which also deals with government laws, public policy, and other related information-
I see nothing that would legally bar me from using this nickname as a legal nickname..

furthermore- I merely see this as an arbitraty and capricious misapplication of state laws, for the purpose of censorship of my Indiana constitutional rights, and us constitutional first amendment rights.. : to whit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

probably more applicable- would be this: Indiana constitution:
http://www.law.indiana.edu/uslawdocs/inconst/art-1.html
Section 9. Freedom of thought and speech

Section 9. No law shall be passed, restraining the free interchange of thought and opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write, or print, freely, on any subject whatever: but for the abuse of that right, every person shall be responsible.

So I contend that this arbitrary decision, made unilaterally without a proper due process by the ACEB- is a violation of my Indiana Articvle 1 constitutional rights, and should be placed in both the internet link cited above and here:
http://www.allencounty.us/candidate-filings
and also on the may 8th ballot, complete, in its entirety, as filed by me at the ACEB, feb 2nd, 2012.

furthermre, i hereby request a hearing/ due process by the allen county electionboard, to further discuss this matter.
yours truly, David C Roach aka D.C. (Legalize-Marijuana) Roach

you do realize of course that by creating a big hoopla about this, we shall smoke out this issue thoroughly, in the local media.. and social media networks..

Advocate for banished candidate now working for herself

Burgess running for County Council; Shine wants Roach 'nickname' removed

Friday, February 10, 2012 - 5:21 pm


Three Republicans are running for commissioner in the First District: incumbent Nelson Peters, County Recorder John McGauley and William C. Phillips. Democratic candidates are Gordon Anthony, a retired firefighter who unsuccessfully ran for City Council last year, and perennial candidate David Roach.
But it was Roach's “nickname” that caught the attention of GOP Chairman Steve Shine, who said he will ask the County Election Board to remove “legalize marijuana” from the before Roach's name on the ballot.
“The ability to include a nickname was intended for things like ‘Bob,' but this is a political statement,” Shine said.
THE REST OF THE STORY.. 
After working unsuccessfully to keep a unorthodox City Council candidate on the ballot last year, Gina Burgess has decided to campaign for herself.
Highlighting a last-minute flurry of activity prior to the noon Friday deadline – one that included a request from the county Republican chairman to change the name of a Democratic candidate for county commissioner -- the Fort Wayne paralegal filed as one of five Democrats seeking three nominations for at-large Allen County Council seats in the May primary. Other Democrats include Sharon Tucker, a bank employee; Kenneth Saylor, a retired Dana Co. employee; Dennis Sprunger, a Southwest Allen County School teacher; and Leroy Jackson Jr., a retired laborer and vice chairman of the black Chamber of Commerce.
The County Election Board removed at-large City Council candidate Tommy Schrader from last November's ballot after he admitted voting earlier in Wisconsin, causing Burgess to fight for his reinstatement before the board and in court. She was unsuccessful, however, and Schrader was replaced by George Guido, who lost in November.
Six Republicans are seeking the three at-large council nominations: incumbents Roy Buskirk and Robert Armstrong; former County Commissioner Bill Brown; Thomas Rotering, a firefighter; Sarah Gnagy, a member of the St. Joe Township Board; and Mike Mills.
Three Republicans are running for commissioner in the First District: incumbent Nelson Peters, County Recorder John McGauley and William C. Phillips. Democratic candidates are Gordon Anthony, a retired firefighter who unsuccessfully ran for City Council last year, and perennial candidate David Roach.
But it was Roach's “nickname” that caught the attention of GOP Chairman Steve Shine, who said he will ask the County Election Board to remove “legalize marijuana” from the before Roach's name on the ballot.
“The ability to include a nickname was intended for things like ‘Bob,' but this is a political statement,” Shine said.
With County Coroner Dr. John Brandenberger prohibited by law from seeking a third consecutive term, two fellow Republicans and one Democrat are seeking to replace him. Republicans are Dr. Craig Nelson, a forensic odontologist who has worked with Brandenberger to examine dental records when needed; and Dr. Gary Washington, a chiropractor.
The Democratic candidate for coroner is Norman Knuth, who works in the funeral business and has sought the office before. He is the brother of former Democratic Party Chairman Kevin Knuth.
Incumbent County Treasurer Susan Orth is seeking re-election and will be challenged in November by Democrat Scott Williams.
Unopposed – at least for now – is Republican County Surveyor Al Frisinger. But the Democrat Party could appoint a candidate after the primary, Director of Elections Beth Dlug said.
The 11th-hour filing surge did not prevent a glaring shortage of candidates in Republican precinct races, Shine said (there are no Democratic precinct races this year).
There are 327 openings, but contests in just 96 precincts – meaning Shine will be able to appoint 231 people. That's potentially important because precinct officials appoint candidates to fill ballot vacancies when needed and perform a variety of other functions, including electing the party chair.
“I guess I could appoint myself,” said Shine, whose term is up next year.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

AS an aside- and side bar- i negotiated with the allen county election board, and at first, they disallowed, my "nicknmae",  then after a few lettera back and forth, the relented, and will for now entertain my ballot nickname..

    • David Christopher Roach nickname? "legalize marijuana". lol!! allen county was founded on an april 1st- 1824, by a bunch of drunks in 2 saloons..so how ironic? tee hee..

    • Phillip Marx 
      I believe that someone (not locally) once ran using "low tax" as their nickname, so Shine may be wrong on his assessment about political statements. Regardless, you have publicly associatied yourself with this issue long enough that it is a fitting nickname even under more traditional terms. What about shorty, lucky, etc? These are not proper names like Bob, Marty, etc. Would Shine oppose them? Perhaps some research is in order.

    • David Christopher Roach ‎20 letter spaces is a lot of room for a nickname like "BOB". And i have ran before with other so-called 'nicknames". i sent a couple e-mails back and forth with the election board- at first they omitted it from their online listing. then i stated my "case"- that it wasnt up to them to preemptively decide, without a proper hearing, meeting, etc, and it was a free speech issue- that anyone can call themselves anything they want- as an alias, AKA; etc. I also noted- that i didnt have anything that would be in george carlins 7 words, and the law was pretty vague, and open to interpretation such as "F-ckF-ckty-F-ckty-F-ck ( also 20 letters), and after they re-posted it so the official filing papers matched the online filings list, I thanked them for entertaining my contention, and how I was glad they followed precedent- the election board should have said something ( different prior members) years ago when i first started), and to let the chips/cards play as they will.
      20 minutes ago · 

    • David Christopher Roach after all- what i now am going to call"right to smoke"- is legal in some form in 23 states, just like RTW; and theres no provision for citizens to "alter or reform their govt, or redress "grievances"- ending drug prohibition. the state house won even consider it, or let the public have any kind fo reeferendum. theres no provision in law for a public queation, or "proposition 420"- should recreational marijuana be legalized in Indiana.. Or petition process- which would require citzens/residents/voters to place their names publicy on a paper stating they are in favor of (any) controversial measure, and subject them to personal, r professional/ workplace/ etc retribution. or being accused, or outed as stoners. and heaven forbid that RIGHT TO SMOKE would be fastracket through the statehouse, and signed by the governor in record time-to create green jobs, and attract people and workers to Indiana. same logic- different special interest groups. and if the KOCH BROTHERS TEA party THC? Party - decided it was important across america- just like unin bustin/ RTW/ etc- it would sail like poop through a goose through the state house( also ful of goose poop?)
      15 minutes ago · 

    • David Christopher Roach So i hope this gets dragged through th system for as long as the schrader case, and fully vetted, and aired out, as this will be great for my campaign, and create hopefully a "freak party coalition- stoners, social drinkers, bar owners, strip club operators, artists, musicians, hippies, freaks, geeks, nerds, dorks, leftists, socialists, anarchists, communists, atheists, agnostics, ( and methodists!) giggle snort!
