Arkansas Democrat Tells Members to Stop Helping GOP

KUAR FM89: Stung by two fundraisers for Republicans hosted by Democratic lawmakers, Democratic Party of Arkansas Chairman Bill Gwatney said Monday he mailed the letter on behalf of activists concerned about party members supporting GOP legislators."Our party faithful do not understand why the Democrats that they have worked to elect would support a Republican," Gwatney wrote in the April 23 letter to the state's Democratic constitutional officers, legislators and congressional delegation. . . .

In the two-page letter, he cites the Little Rock fundraiser for Republican Rep. Bryan King of Green Forest and another fundraiser last year for Sen. Gilbert Baker, the former chairman of the state GOP, hosted by outgoing Senate President Jack Critcher, D-Batesville, and incoming Senate President Bob Johnson, D-Bigelow. Gwatney doesn't mention any of the Democratic lawmakers by name in the letter. . . .

I guess we will have to watch and see. However, it is nice to learn that democrat activists (whoever they are) are upset.
