On the campaign trail, June 2012

July 5, 2012

The following is the eighth in a monthly series chronicling the U.S. 2012 presidential election. It features original material compiled throughout the previous month after a brief mention of some of the month's biggest stories.

In this month's edition on the campaign trail, a presidential candidate who announced  his 2012 plans to Wikinews four years ago speaks to Wikinews once again, the candidate leading the California  presidential primary discusses his campaign, and Wikinews explores whether Senator  of Kentucky will be selected as the Republican Party vice presidential nominee.

Summary
In June, California held presidential primary elections for both the Democratic and Republican parties. President Barack Obama was uncontested on the Democratic ballot, and easily won; as did presumptive nominee Mitt Romney on the Republican side. Other presidential primaries in California involved the, , , and Libertarian third parties, though not all of these were binding. In the binding Green primary, physician edged comedienne  to secure enough delegates to become the party's presumptive presidential nominee. As for other primaries in June, the Republican Party held its final in Utah late in the month with Romney easily claiming victory. Afterwards, Fred Karger, the first openly gay presidential candidate for a major party's nomination, officially ended his campaign.

Starting off, the had a few difficulties in June: a jobs report for the previous month showed a spike in the  rate; Democrats failed to win a  against the Republican governor  in Wisconsin, bolstering Romney's prospects in the state; Romney called Obama "out of touch" for his remark that "The private sector is doing just fine"; and despite Obama's position against extending the  for the wealthy, former Democratic president Bill Clinton suggested during a  interview that in current circumstances, extending the Bush tax cuts would be "probably the best thing to do right now." Clinton's spokesman later clarified that Clinton backed the president's position. However, consumer advocate and frequent presidential candidate speculated that Clinton was "undermining Obama...to appear with Hillary as very friendly to business" in order to lay the groundwork for a 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential run. The Romney campaign faced a few challenges of its own: reports surfaced that Romney impersonated police officers in his youth; Obama attacked him for his investments' alleged outsourcing of jobs; and vice president Joe Biden discussed his, portraying him as an elitist at odds with the middle class. Nevertheless, a large amount of Romney coverage in June focused on his search for a. After  reported that Senator of Florida was not being vetted as a possible vice presidential candidate, Romney disputed the report and claimed that in fact Rubio was being vetting for the nomination. Additionally, two prospects, former Minnesota  and former  Condoleezza Rice, both took their names out of consideration for the spot, though Rice reportedly 'stole the show' at a Romney retreat. At the end of June, Senator of Ohio received increased mention as a potential nominee after Senator John McCain jokingly told a group of Portman interns, "now you can say you interned for Vice President Portman."

In mid-June, Obama injected the issue of immigration into the campaign when he announced by decree that illegal immigrants at most 30 years old who entered the United States before the age of 16 and remain in good standing in their communities, would no longer be deported. During the announcement,  reporter Neil Munro interrupted the president to ask how the move would affect American workers. A frustrated Obama acknowledged the interruption, and responded, "It’s not time for questions, sir...Not while I’m speaking." The interruption threatened to overshadow Obama's announcement, which analysts suggested was aimed to solidify support among Hispanics. Romney did not explicitly respond to the announcement, but said during an interview with  that he instead would implement "a long-term solution". About two weeks after the announcement,  analyst Aaron Blake of 's The Fix examined polls from and reported that though many voters in the swing states of Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio favored the new policy, those concerned about the issue were much more likely to oppose it. Blake concluded that the new policy would likely help Obama in the Latino-heavy swing states of Colorado and Nevada, but might possibly hurt him in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Other political events shaped the campaign as June came to a close. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the as a tax. Though deemed a political victory for President Obama, Romney proclaimed that the ruling brought a "greater urgency" to the election, explaining to his base that repealing the health care bill now required Obama to be voted out of office. In the first three hours after the ruling, the Romney campaign raised one million dollars, a spokesman reported. On the same day as the decision, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to hold  in  for refusing to hand over documents related to. President Obama claimed the documents fell under. Many congressional Democrats walked out during the vote and accused Republicans of playing politics. Pollsters said Holder was the most unpopular member of the Obama administration but predicted groups outside the Romney campaign would focus on the issue, in order to not divert Romney from his message on the economy. The Romney campaign ran ads at the end of June that used footage of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, polled as the most popular member of the Obama administration, criticizing Obama during the for "perpetuating falsehoods", concluding with "Shame on you, Barack Obama." On June 30, Obama led Romney in the national  average, 47.5 percent to 43.8 percent.

Wikinews interviews Green Party candidate
In addition to Jill Stein and Roseanne Barr,, an air quality inspector from , participated in June's California Green Party presidential primary. He finished the contest in third place with 10.8 percent behind Stein's nomination-clinching showing of 49.3 percent and Barr's second place 39.9 percent. In the aftermath of the primary and ahead of the July 12–15, Wikinews reached out to Mesplay.

Mesplay, who serves as a delegate to the Green National Committee, had previously sought the Green presidential nomination in 2004 and 2008, falling short both times. Wikinews first interviewed Mesplay during his second presidential campaign in June 2008, when he announced his intentions to seek the Green Party's 2012 presidential nomination. During his 2012 bid, Mesplay has campaigned on his support for, , , and reductions in. He has received the endorsements of party co-founder, 2004 Green Party vice presidential nominee , and Green activist.

With Wikinews, Mesplay discusses his thoughts on Stein and Barr, in general, and his future political plans.

'''With the outcome of the California primary, physician Jill Stein has secured enough delegates to be the Green Party presumptive presidential nominee. What are your thoughts on Stein and her policy proposals? How do they compare to your own and have you discussed the vice presidential nomination with her?'''
 * Mesplay: The focus of Stein’s campaign has been a "," which is a federal public jobs program funded by anticipated military cuts and by updated taxes. I support the stated goals of the program, although I question the practicality of relying upon such anticipated funding sources. Our campaigns agree on the severity of the crises to be responsibly addressed: climate change, economic melt-down, crumbling infrastructure, torn social safety-nets. We need to transform toward being a sustainability-driven culture, rather than one that liquidates our natural resources to our collective peril, and green jobs play a central role in this.  I introduced the Green New Deal in campaign flyers in 2008; the idea has been floating around Green circles for a decade or so.

 * Rather than emphasize an apparently centralized, federal, "top-down" approach to improving our governance, my role in the 2012 Green Party presidential campaign season has been to emphasize a "ground-up" approach, making the case for volunteerism, local currency and scrip, and direct, immediate citizen involvement with local solutions to "fund" the transformation. More than just a complementary approach, direct citizen action is practical in that one does not need to wait for a Green President or Congress. At the federal policy level, we would see more success and less resistance by, say, gradually transforming the military to lead the fight in climate-change through re-training. However we go about it, we should be growing food wherever we can, and we should be better prepared and able to quickly meet the health and safety basic needs of masses of people. My "stamp" is an argument for sustainability as security-enhancing emergency preparation. I am also an outspoken advocate for, having this as part of my ancestry and upbringing.

 * I have not directly discussed the vice presidential nomination with Jill Stein, although I have expressed such interest when Skyping in to a recent state meeting. I will support Jill Stein as the Green Party nominee in whatever way I can.

'''Comedienne Roseanne Barr, who finished second in California, seems to be hinting that she may continue her campaign as an Independent after the National Convention. What is your reaction to Roseanne and her campaign? Has she had a positive influence on the Green Party?'''
 * Mesplay: Roseanne is an entertainer. Jill and I privately conferred right after Roseanne entered the race, "for real," knowing that Roseanne’s behavior could draw the party unwanted negative publicity. We were aware of Roseanne’s self-appointed title of (virtual) Prime Minister of Israel in an online parliamentary project and were concerned about her antics. In getting to know her, I now consider her a friend. She is intelligent, thoughtful, well educated and genuinely concerned about societal and environmental problems, and has been a strong advocate for Native people. When helping to shape the effect of Roseanne’s entry into the race, I said, "Roseanne needs to get serious and we [Jill and I] need to have more fun [with our deathly-serious issues]." Over-all, Roseanne has brought positive attention to the Green Party, has helped register voters and has increased our exposure to the media. She entered the race too late to be a serious threat to Jill’s campaign, and early enough to make it more interesting. And (watch out), she is making a movie about her run for president.  She says it’s funny.

'''When we last interviewed in June 2008, it was under similar circumstances: you were seeking the Green Party presidential nomination; the National Convention was just a few weeks away; and like Stein, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney had already secured enough delegates to be the party's presumptive nominee. At the time, you mentioned that you were "taking the steps to begin running for the 2012 presidential race." Now, at this point in the 2012 race, do you have similar plans to run for president in 2016?'''
 * Mesplay: I was the first declared Green candidate in 2012. My challenge is to raise enough money that I can take time off work to actually run, full-time. To date, I have not been able to actively participate in a more visible, effective, competitive manner. I am undecided as to whether I will run, again.

American Independent Party primary results
The American Independent Party (AIP), a group formerly affiliated with the Constitution Party  that has guaranteed ballot access in California, listed three presidential candidates on its ballot for June's California primary: the party's former chairman ; radio talk show host ; and former   "Mad" Max Riekse.

In the tally last updated on June 26, Noonan led Roth 16,625 votes (38.8 percent) to 16,044 (37.4 percent) with Riekse polling 10,227 votes (23.8 percent) for third place. Wikinews tried to contact the leading two candidates, but only successfully connected with Noonan.

Noonan, who ran for both in 2006 and U.S. Senate in 2010 as the AIP nominee, told Wikinews that the "only purpose" for his run was to "have standing" in a lawsuit against President Barack Obama. Noonan, who refers to Obama as "Mr. Soetero", said his most recent suit was dismissed in court. He believes Obama's birth certificate "is forged and a fraudulent document" due to "multiple layers of different typewriter font sizes", signatures in "multi-colored [ink] and sliced into the document in different patches." Furthermore, he says that without a legitimate birth certificate, Obama "cannot prove that he is an American citizen [because his]... was a foreign national from Kenya". Noonan says that this disqualifies Obama from being president.

As a candidate, Noonan has sent out press releases and made numerous attempts to spread his message through the internet; however, he has received very little media attention. He argues that people are indifferent to politics and that the "corrupt news media" ignores third party candidates such as himself. Additionally, he sees the two major parties as corrupt and refers to them as "two heads from the same beast." He describes his opponent Roth as "a Republican traitor" and feels the AIP made a mistake by listing such a non-member on the primary ballot.

Roth, who says she feels God has called her to seek the presidency, unsuccessfully sought the Constitution Party presidential nomination earlier this year. On her website, she calls for the institution of a two percent, the eventual repeal of all other taxes, and the elimination of the national debt in four to five years. Ahead of the primary, she received the endorsement of notable birther activist. Wikinews has made numerous attempts to contact Roth, but has thus far received no response.

Former congressman Virgil Goode, the Constitution Party's presidential nominee, and, the presidential nominee, are both also reportedly seeking the AIP nomination despite not being listed on the primary ballot. The nominating convention is scheduled to take place August 11.

Might Rand Paul be the GOP VP nominee?
After Senator of Kentucky endorsed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in June, speculation spread that Romney might select Paul as his running mate. However, according to two political analysts, the scenario is unlikely and may not be strategically wise for Republicans.

Paul, who holds libertarian views similar to those of his father, Congressman and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul of Texas, announced his endorsement of Romney on . He cited Romney's support for a audit, a repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act as rationale for the move. However, Paul did not mention his policy disagreements with Romney on such issues as the, the , and the. Some libertarians and supporters of Ron Paul reacted angrily to the decision. The Libertarian Party released a statement saying "no true libertarian, no true friend of liberty, and no true blue Tea Partier could possibly even consider, much less actually endorse or approve of, the Father of Obamacare, Big Government tax and spender, Republican Mitt Romney."

Nevertheless, some saw it as an attempt for Paul to position himself as a potential vice presidential candidate. Paul said it would be "a great honor" for Romney to consider him as a running mate. Proponents of this idea, such as Daniel McCarthy of , say Paul would help steer Republicans and the possible Romney administration away from and  policies. Others do not view this as sound campaign strategy.

According to North Star Opinion Research strategist Dan Judy, the endorsement was simply Paul's "way of supporting the Republican team and hoping to curry some favor with the Romney folks in hopes of getting his dad a speaking slot at the ". Though Judy held that the pick would help Romney with those concerned about Romney's such as the "hard core Tea Party base", he sees Paul's political inexperience, questionable appeal to political  and, and the lack of any geographic advantage for the ticket as reasons that the scenario has "virtually no shot".

Political analyst Kyle Kondik of largely agrees, stating that the selection would be a "real surprise" and that though "supporters of Ron and Rand Paul are a vocal part of the Republican Party, they are but one small constituency, and their views, particularly on matters of war and peace, are too different from Romney and the Republican mainstream to imagine Rand (or Ron) in the No. 2 slot on the ticket."

Kenyan helicopter crash kills security minister

June 10, 2012

A helicopter crash at the edge of Nairobi, Kenya has killed six. Amongst the dead is internal security minister, a candidate in.

Saitoti, 66, played a major role in Kenya opting to send troops into Somalia last year in a bid to combat al-Shabaab. His deputy Joshua Orwa Ojonde is also dead, alongside both pilots and two bodyguards.

The aircraft had not long departed when it went down into a  forest. One witness saw the helicopter "flying very low. It came down suddenly and we heard a loud explosion, and then it burst into flames." Another said it "hovered up there and looked like it was turning back" before crashing. The accident occurred at around 8:30 this morning, local time.

Current President Mwai Kibaki decried "a devastating loss to our country." He called Saitoti "a hardworking and determined public servant who dedicated his time to the service of the Kenyan people". Prime Minister, speaking at the scene, promised "a thorough probe" into the accident. He described a "great tragedy that has befallen our country".

Saitoti, who personally told the public of the invasion of Somalia two days after sending in thousands of soldiers, had been faced with numerous bombings and kidnaps. He routinely made assurances on national TV in the aftermath of attacks, and recently vowed "terrorists" would not have an impact on government.

With qualifications in accountancy and mathematics acquired in the US, Saitoti was a former Kenyan finance minister. A prominent figure in national politics, he also served as vice president under in 1989–1997 and 1999–2002.

There is no immediate word on possible causes for the accident. Police have sealed off the scene and begun an investigation.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Salako. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Salako~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:36, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Today on Wikinews: We briefly recap some of the stories appearing on Wikinews this week and from around the world.

Today is Monday, June 11, 2012. I am Chad Tew and this is Wikinews.

Explosion reported in Damascus, Syria (0:26)
Tanks have fired shots in the Syrian capital of Damascus Saturday. Explosions were reported just before two A-M Syrian time in the Al-Mydan neighborhood. The battle between the Syrian military and Free Syrian Army broke out over districts in the north and south that lasted for about twelve hours. Fighting was reported in the southern Damascus districts of Kafarsouseh and Al-Mydan, while to the north it was reported that Al-Kaboun and Barzeh came under attack. This was the first time in the conflict that Damascus has come under fire.

Elsewhere in Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported around twenty civilians were killed in the city of Daraa by Syrian tank shells. The cities of Homs, Qusair, Talbiseh and Rastan are also under Syrian army attack.

Kenyan helicopter crash kills security minister (1:25)
The Kenyan internal security minister George Saitoti, who was a candidate in next year's presidential election, has died in a helicopter crash outside of Nairobi. He was a key figure in the Kenyan decision to contribute soldiers to the African conflict in Somalia against al-Shabab. Five others died in the crash.

Libyan court jails 24 foreigners for helping Gaddafi (1:47)
A Libyan court sentenced twenty four foreigners to prison for their support of former leader Muamar Gaddafi. A Russian who was identified as the ringleader received a life sentence, while a second Russian, nineteen Ukranians, and three Belarussians were all given ten years of hard labor. Several ambassadors decried the ruling and Ukraine's ambassador said the convicted had been forced to build and maintain Gaddafi's anti-aircraft missiles.

Russian serial killer Irina Gaidamachuk jailed (2:21)
A Russian court sentenced a confessed serial killer of seventeen elderly women to twenty years in prison. Irina Gaidamachuk would pose as a social worker to enter the homes of her victims before killing them with an axe or hammer. Police had a difficult time identifying the killer because they did not consider that a woman might be the assailant. But that changed when one of her victims survived. The motive: money for vodka.

Putin signs law inceasing fines for illegal protestors (2:52)
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a new law this week that increases the maximum fines available against those involved in unlawful protests. The legislation by the United Russia party follows the May seven protests after Putin's third inauguration which saw clashes between protesters and police. Four hundred people were arrested in that encounter. All fines were increased significantly with the average offense moving from around three U-S dollars to three hundred dollars.

On the campaign trail, May 2012 (3:31)
We have a summary of the U.S. presidential election news for May 2012 at Wikinews dot org.

Study suggests successful depression treatment lowers youths' risk of drug abuse (3:40)
A new U-S study suggests depressed adolescents who respond to treatment within twelve weeks are at a reduced risk of drug abuse later in their lives. Researchers at Duke University said only ten percent of youths between seventeen and twenty three who responded to depression treatment went on to abuse drugs, but twenty five percent of those who did not respond to treatment in the same period went on to abuse drugs. Researchers also said more education is needed to reduce alcohol abuse.

Winning horse I'll Have Another loses shot at US Triple Crown (4:19)
Union Rags was the horse that ended up winning the 2012 Belmont Stakes in New York Saturday. The thoroughbred broke through an opening in the pack at the end of the race to add to the excitement. U-S horse racing fans had been paying close attention to I'll Have Another who was heading into the race with a chance to win the U-S Triple crown. But the horse was retired one day before the Belmont Stakes on account of a swollen left tendon. This is the thirty fourth year without a Triple Crown victory. The last and eleventh horse to win was Affirmed in nineteen seventy eight.

Kosmala's 2012 Games inclusion highlights Australian Paralympians' longevity (5:01)
When the twenty twelve Paralympics opens in London later this summer, it is likely that Australian Libby Kosmala -- part of the shooting team -- will be the oldest competitor in attendance. She will be seventy by the time the Paralympics games begin. She first competed in the nineteen-seventy-two games in Germany as a swimmer. But as a shooter she has won nine gold and three silver medals during her Paralympics career. Read more about Kosmala and the Paralympics at Wikinews dot org.

Science Fiction author Ray Bradbury dies (5:37)
And this week, Ray Bradbury who wrote science fiction classics like The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit Four-Fifty-One, as well as short stories, died in Los Angeles at the age of ninety one. When Bradbury started publishing, science fiction was primarily relegated to pulp magazines and books, but during his lifetime he saw his own work and others expand into movies and television. Bradbury contributed to television shows like The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents and he later hosted a similar show The Ray Bradbury Theater. French director François Truffaut adapted Fahrenheit Four-Fifty-One to film in nineteen-sixty-six. In an interview, Bradbury said science fiction books had during his lifetime become a staple of U.S. education, which included his own The Martian Chronicles.

Outro (5:00)
And those are the headlines for this week.

London Grand Prix (formula 1)
Although we can't take a Wikipedia-style article, you may want to consider whether there's a news story in the material you've got. Some things to keep in mind: --Pi zero (talk) 15:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * A Wikinews article is about (is focused on) a specific event/phenomenon that just happened (is fresh) — if we're to publish something, it has to be published within at most 2–3 days after the focal event happens.
 * The format of a news article is very different from that of an encyclopedia article. If you create an article page using one of the article-creation forms scattered about the site —there's one on the Howdy template at the top of this page, for instance— it sets up some of the basic formatting markup for you.  The content of the article itself is arranged with a lede, succinctly answering as many as reasonably possible of the basic questions about the news event, followed by further paragraphs proceeding in inverted pyramid style.
 * There's lots of useful information and links about how to write a Wikinews article on the Howdy template at the top of this page.
 * BTW (just mentioning this), the Wikinews license is more permissive than the Wikipedia license, so material from Wikipedia can't be imported to Wikinews except with the permission of all the authors — otherwise it'd be a copyvio.
