The Daily Dot, an Internet Newspaper, Publishes In-Depth Story on Rocky De La Fuente

The Daily Dot, an internet newspaper which runs approximately 50 stories per day, has this story about Rocky De La Fuente. This is exactly the type of publicity that he needs, in order to qualify for the presidential primary ballot automatically in many states, including California, where he lives. It will be interesting to see if the California Secretary of State puts him on the June 2016 Democratic presidential primary ballot. The California law says candidates discussed in the news media go on automatically.

In 1992, when former California Secretary of State March Fong Eu omitted Lyndon LaRouche from the Democratic presidential primary ballot, LaRouche sued and won. And De La Fuente has a stronger campaign, and better relations with the national Democratic Party, than LaRouche had in 1992.

Sixteen Candidates Likely to be on Maryland Major Party Presidential Primary Ballots

It is likely that the Maryland Democratic presidential primary ballot will have four candidates, and the Republican ballot will have twelve. The Democrats will be: Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley, Bernie Sanders, and Rocky De La Fuente. The first three were put on last month because they are discussed in the news media, and De La Fuente got on by submitting 3,200 signatures of registered Democrats.

The Republicans will be: Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum, Donald Trump, and Robert H. Heller, Jr., of Maryland. The first eleven were put on automatically last month because they are discussed in the media. Heller submitted petitions. Heller has not qualified for any presidential primary in any other state this year, so far at least.

It is not certain that the De La Fuente and Heller petitions will be valid, because they haven’t been checked yet. The signatures were due February 3.
