Can Bill Clinton help return Arkansas to progressive leadership?

U.S.

Is Arkansas Still Friendly to Bill? Clinton Tests It

Video | The Clinton Connection No one in the Clinton family is running for office in 2014, but the influence of the former president can be seen in several coming elections in his home state of Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — When it came time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of a dam on the Little Red River this fall, former President Bill Clinton came running. But once he arrived in the state, he had more on his mind than just public works.
He summoned Mike Ross, who had driven him around rural Arkansas during his race for governor in 1982 and is now running for governor himself, to his presidential library for a visit.
“I thought I was going over for a 15-minute meeting with him, and I left two hours later,” said Mr. Ross, recalling a conversation during which Mr. Clinton spoke about everything from Mr. Ross’s fund-raising to his county-level organization and the policy distinctions he could draw with his Republican rival.
Mr. Clinton may be a globe-trotting citizen of the world, but these days he is focusing on his home state, and for good reason: The election ballot for next year looks like a Clinton political family tree, full of the former president’s protégés and ex-staff members and family friends.
Slide Show | The Former President and His Home State Former President Bill Clinton makes frequent trips to Arkansas, a notably different state politically than the one he left about 20 years ago.
Senator Mark Pryor, who was 11 when he first met Mr. Clinton and whose father has been a close ally of the president’s for four decades, is fighting for re-election. James Lee Witt, whom Mr. Clinton met in a Little League dugout in 1974 and eventually named director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is running for Congress. And Patrick Henry Hays, a protégé and one of a band of locals who stumped on Mr. Clinton’s behalf in 1992, calling themselves Arkansas Travelers, is also seeking a House seat.
(And, in an eerie echo of Clinton eras past, Mr. Ross’s likely opponent in the race for governor is Asa Hutchinson, the former congressman who helped lead the effort to impeach the president in 1998.)
While there is little doubt about how much Mr. Clinton cares about Arkansas, the election outcome could reveal how much Arkansas — a notably different state politically than the one he left 20 years ago — still cares about him, and whether those Democrats who embraced his approach to politics can hold on in a state that is drifting away from their party and is strikingly hostile to President Obama.
A new generation of voters has no memory of Mr. Clinton’s tenure as governor, and the unpopularity of Mr. Obama’s health care law has further imperiled Democratic candidates here.
Former President Bill Clinton, a frequent visitor to Arkansas, at an event on Thursday at his presidential library in Little Rock.
WILLIAM WIDMER FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
Mr. Clinton has flung himself into the 2014 campaign, offering strategy, policy proposals and sometimes intervention. This year, without telling Mr. Pryor, the former president called Howard Wolfson, the top political aide to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York, to personally plead with him to stop TV ads the mayor’s gun-control group was airing in Arkansas criticizing the senator for his position on gun restrictions, Mr. Pryor said. He found out about the call, which was unsuccessful, only when Mr. Clinton told him about it.
The former president hosted a kickoff fund-raising reception for Mr. Pryor in March, and plans to help the other candidates raise money, too.
“He’s insatiably curious about what’s going on locally,” Gov. Mike Beebe, a Democrat who cannot run again because of term limits, said of Mr. Clinton, with whom he speaks about twice a month. Of the many Democrats running next year, Mr. Beebe said, “Clinton got them started with the idea of even wanting to be in politics.”
When Mr. Clinton began his political career at 28 in the mid-1970s, Arkansas, like the rest of the South, clung to a strongly Democratic identity, with a fiercely populist streak, especially in state and local elections. These days, Republicans are ascendant in state races and Mr. Obama is profoundly unpopular — an Arkansas poll recently recorded his approval rating at 29 percent. Many here view the president as distant from them, with his liberal policies and Chicago roots, and Arkansas lacks a tradition of supporting black candidates in statewide races. During Mr. Obama’s tenure, a congressional delegation that until recently was made up of five Democrats and one Republican now has five Republicans and Mr. Pryor.
“Obama, Obama, Obama” is how Mr. Pryor, in an interview, described the campaign strategy of his Republican rival, Representative Tom Cotton.
Given Mr. Obama’s low approval here, Democrats are subtly invoking the Clinton name, sometimes slyly suggesting to voters that the current occupant of the White House may soon turn the keys over to Hillary Rodham Clinton, should she run for president.
Mr. Obama will be in office for only three more years, Mr. Pryor noted with a smile during the interview, adding, “Who’s there the next four years?”
Both the former president and his wife are expected to take to the campaign trail here in the months ahead, and if they help Democrats win, it could underscore their enduring influence in Arkansas and suggest that she could be competitive in a state Democrats have lost ever since Mr. Clinton left the White House. However, a string of Democratic losses next year could indicate that Arkansas is joining its Southern neighbors in becoming a Republican-dominated state and could raise questions about the currency of the Clinton legacy.
“The 2014 election in Arkansas is not going to be about who is the president, it’s about who is going to be the president,” said James L. Rutherford, the dean of the University of Arkansas graduate school, which is named for Mr. Clinton, and a longtime friend of the former president’s.
To visit this cozy capital and bring up Mr. Clinton’s name is an invitation for storytelling and unending one-upmanship. Seemingly every Democrat here has an honest-to-god true story of just how tied in Mr. Clinton still is in Arkansas. There was the time he checked in on the election returns for Stone County sheriff, even though he was overseas; or when, early on election night in 2002, he phoned former Senator David Pryor, Mark’s father, and asked him to call the courthouse in Magnolia and check on a bellwether precinct in the county. A former aide in the state keeps track of deaths and funerals, and Mr. Clinton regularly sends personal condolence notes.
A day after Mr. Clinton spoke at the Greers Ferry Dam commemoration in October, he called Mr. Witt, whose wife had died a few weeks earlier after a long illness. After accepting Mr. Clinton’s sympathies, Mr. Witt told the former president that he had all but decided to run for an open House seat next year.
“He got very excited,” said Mr. Witt, who was the head of Arkansas’s emergency services for Mr. Clinton before joining him in Washington. “He was telling stories about when he ran for governor here and what counties he won by down there and what counties he lost and by what percentages.” Mr. Clinton’s conclusion: “He said, ‘You know what, you can win that race.’ ”
He returns to the state every six weeks or so — in May he attended a Fleetwood Mac concert in a basketball arena in North Little Rock. When in town, he stays in what aides call “the executive suite,” an apartment atop the presidential library; local lore has it that Arkansans know whether he is here by watching the lights in the apartment.
But while Mr. Clinton has always stayed in touch, no other Arkansas election may be as personally important to him as 2014’s. Mr. Ross, for example, steered Mr. Clinton around Arkansas in a Chevy Citation for nearly two years, bonding with his boss in between campaign stops as Mr. Clinton recaptured the governorship in 1982.
Mr. Clinton met Mark Pryor in 1974 when the former president was running for Congress and Mr. Pryor’s father for governor. Mr. Pryor, 50, is now considered among the most vulnerable senators in the country.
And it is not just the top of the ticket that Mr. Clinton and his loyalists are following. The Southern Progress Fund, a group formed to revive Southern Democrats and run by two Arkansans who are former aides to Mr. Clinton, is quietly preparing to put money into state legislative races here and will have two paid staff members on the ground early next year.
Those who follow politics closely here are uncertain how much sway the former president still has with voters.
Mr. Pryor argued that the legacy of Mr. Clinton’s policies is what is most powerful.
“People are very proud in our state that President Clinton balanced the budget,” he said. “President Bush didn’t, President Obama hasn’t.”
But even Mr. Pryor acknowledged that he was uncertain what campaign appearances by Mr. Clinton would mean.
“I don’t know if that translates into votes in our state,” he said, noting that Arkansas was “very independent-minded.”
One thing is for sure: Residents will be seeing a lot of Mr. Clinton. On Thursday, the former president was back, appearing at a ceremony marking the LED lighting of a bridge that crosses the Arkansas River near his library and sounding a bit like the young politician he once was, eager to grab the attention of the bigger world around him.
“I dreamed of a time when at night we would have this bridge lit,” Mr. Clinton told the crowd. “And everybody who landed in an airplane in Little Rock at night would fly over the library lit and the bridge lit, and would see us and our potential and our values in a way that they had never seen it before.”

NAAV HAS A NEW NATIONAL COMMANDER

National Association of Atomic Veterans, Inc.
( A Non-profit Veteran’s Assistance Organization )

The NAAV  Mission  Purpose

 NAAV  was founded in August, 1979 by the late Orville E. Kelly ( of Burlington, Iowa ) for the purposes of allowing the U. S. Atomic Veteran Community to speak, with a single voice, to their inability to get a fair hearing related to their developing ( radiogenic )  health issues  that may have been precipitated by their exposure to “ionizing” radiation while participating in a nuclear weapon test detonation, or a “post-test” event.   From the beginning, and to date, we continue to pursue our purpose to this dedicated cause.

Who  is  an  Atomic Veteran

 Atomic Veterans were members of the United States Armed Forces who participated in atmospheric and underwater nuclear weapons tests from 16 July, 1945 to 30 October 1962.  They also include veterans who were assigned to post test duties, such as “ground zero” nuclear warfare maneuvers & exercises, removing radiation cloud samples from aircraft wing pods, working in close proximity to radiated test animals,  de-contamination of aircraft and field test equipment, retrieval and transport of test instruments & devices, and a host of other duty assignments that provided an opportunity for a radiation exposure & contamination event.  

 Also included are military personnel who were a part of the Occupation Forces assigned to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan soon after the detonation of Atomic-Bombs over those respective cities, and those American prisoners of war ( POW’s ) who were housed in close proximity to those cities.  These Veterans fit the VA’s “official” description of an Atomic-Veteran. 

 There is a second group of veterans who may have been involved in radiation exposure events. These  include post test events related to nuclear weapon devices detonated  underground or in shafts ( after 1962 ) that may have provided a radiation exposure event, or those who’s duties involved regular use of radiation producing equipment or processes, such as power plant technicians aboard nuclear powered Aircraft Carriers and Submarines, X-ray technicians, and  those veterans assigned to the Enewetak Atoll radiation clean-up projects.  These veterans fit the VA’s “official”  description  as  Occupational  radiation  exposed veterans.

The U. S. Nuclear Weapons Testing Program

 There were more than one million U.S. Armed Forces personnel , civilian scientists and engineering technicians involved in the detonation of nuclear & thermonuclear weapon devices, from 16 July 1945 ( the “Trinity” test at Alamogordo, NM. ) to  23 September, 1992 ( the last test in the “Julin” series at the Nevada Test Site ).  The United States has sponsored a total of 1,054 nuclear weapons tests, and detonated two of these weapons over enemy soil during an act of war. 

 During this period of time there were 1,147 actual nuclear ( aka “bomb” ) tests.  Some of these nuclear and thermonuclear detonations failed to produce any noticeable explosion, either by design, or due to mechanical or electrical faults.  Several of these tests,  by official definition, were actually multiple detonations, two or more at the same time, designed for gathering specific data & information  or for instrument calibration purposes.

Nuclear Testing and Health

 Even since nuclear testing began, it has been very difficult to get a useful accounting of the effects of human exposure to the radiation particle fallout from these tests. This was largely motivated partly by military secrecy, partly by a desire to allay public fears ( i.e. public relations reasons ), and partly by a fear of possible legal actions by actual ( or potential ) radiation exposed victims. 

 Some exposure related incidents have been revealed due to the impossibility of hiding them, namely the high radiation exposures of the Marshallese and Japanese  fisherman  after the 1954 Castle “Bravo” disaster in the Marshall Islands.  But most information on this subject has been largely withheld, either deliberately buried in obscure reports, or never collected at all.

 This was commonly known as the principle of being careful not to learn what you don’t want to know.  However;  this  information has slowly come to light, in bits and pieces, over the last 29  years.

  What is probably the most important study of the health effects of testing were announced by the National Cancer Institute in August of 1997, and released in October of that same year.  The basic finding of the report is that internal exposures to Radioiodine ( I-131 ) in fallout from continental nuclear weapons testing was the most serious of all health consequences. Radioiodine concentrates in milk, when consumed by grazing cows, then concentrates in human thyroid glands after contaminated milk has been ingested into the body.

 This concentration effect is especially strong in children. The effect of these exposures is to boost the chance of contracting thyroid cancer, sometime in the lifetime, of those effected.  No efforts were made to systematically study the nationwide effects of atmospheric nuclear weapon testing until Congress ordered such a study, which was finally released 15 years after the order.  

 Currently, there are approximately 195,000 Atomic Veterans across America who either do not know their oath-of-secrecy has been rescinded, and who are not aware of the potential monetary benefits due them for ( service connected ) radiation induced illnesses.  The VA is offering them ( no cost ) Ionizing Radiation Register examinations, including complete blood and urine testing.  Additionally, as an Atomic Veteran, they qualify for VA prescription drugs ( for a minor co-pay fee ) which,  in most cases, is a meaningful  benefit of  itself. 

 The Directors, Officers and members of NAAV will always salute the memory of those veterans who suffered and died from the after effects of radiation exposure, in the interest of U .S. National Security, and who’s conditions and suffering were totally ignored by their own Government,  their Congressional leaders and a host of  D.O.D. “Contract Consultants”. We hope you will join us in that salute to honor, duty and dedication to serving their country.

Qualifications  for  NAAV  Membership

 NAAV offers membership to any veteran who was assigned to participate in a  nuclear device detonation event or who may have been involved in post event assignments associated with  the  U.S. Nuclear Weapons Testing Program from 16 July, 1945 to 23 September, 1992, or any veteran who’s assigned  duties included association with nuclear reactors on Aircraft Carriers and Submarines, or the assembly, storage and deployment of nuclear weapon devices,  or who may have been involved with Depleted Uranium ( DU ) munitions events during and after the first Gulf War, or the surviving ( spouse, or child )  of a deceased Atomic Veteran. 


NAAV  Operating  Funds

 The Directors and Officers of NAAV are non-paid volunteers who have devote much of their free time to assisting Atomic Veterans, and their survivors, in gaining access to those VA benefits they may be entitled to, since 1979. 
 Given this, we have depended solely upon our annual membership dues and ( good   Samaritan ) contributions  from sympathetic & patriotic ( non-member ) individuals and small businesses.

 All donations, contributions and / or sponsorships are tax exempt, and are 100% dedicated to assisting Atomic Veterans in these important areas.  Your monetary participation would be most welcome and appreciated.  We also welcome Newsletter Sponsorships, as well.  For additional information about tax -exempt contributions,  please  e-mail your inquiry  to:  commander

You can help us ( and honor an Atomic Veteran )  by sending your contributions to:
