I hadn't heard about Ellie Light, so I searched and found a blurb, pasted below, for others who don't know (not enough info in the excerpt above):

Obama czar Cass Sunstein recently wrote a paper suggesting that:

...the Government make secret payments to so-called "independent" credible voices to bolster the Government?s messaging (on the ground that those who don't believe government sources will be more inclined to listen to those who appear independent while secretly acting on behalf of the Government).

Now comes news that one "Ellie Light" has published a pro-Obama letter in 47 newspapers in 23 different states.  The Cleveland Plain Dealer caught on to the apparent astroturfing, but Patterico has done a good deal more legwork in showing just how far this astroturfing has gone.

I never intended on living in North Korea, led by a deviant dictator. Now I know where the cigarette smoke and the clanging piano music came from last November - I was paid a visit from someone in The Twilight Zone.

Independent credible voices like Samantha Power (Sunstein's wife) who may very well be Ellie Lite.
