Dear Friend,
Last Thursday the Secretary of State certified Chris Gregoire governor-elect.
We have just finished the longest, most scrutinized election in Washington State history. Ballots have been checked, double-checked, and triple-checked. Democrats and Republicans from across the state have joined together to make this the most accurate election in state history.
But, instead of taking Chris Gregoire's call for unity to move our state forward, Dino Rossi and the Republican Party have gone off on a bitter battle to tear down this election.
They are trashing the Republican Secretary of State, they are trashing county auditors across the state, and they are trashing their own Republican and Democratic observers. They're even shamelessly manipulating military families to falsely suggest that our soldiers' ballots weren't counted. All because they didn't like the result of this election.
And after two weeks of wild, unfounded accusations they still have no evidence of any wrongdoing. Not a one.
I need you to take action right now.
On Tuesday the legislature will vote to certify the election. We already know that Republican operatives are working hard to pressure legislators to undo the results of this election. We need to fight back.
Right now, call the legislative hotline at 1-800-562-6000. Tell your legislators to do the right thing, stand up to Republican rhetoric, do their duty and certify the election on Tuesday. It's time to get on with the business of moving our state forward.
The Republicans are working hard to make this election a circus. Let's make sure they do not succeed.
Sincerely,
Paul Berendt Chair, Washington State Democrats
If you want to dive into the deep end, check out www.soundpolitics.com. They are documenting all of the fraud, mismanagement and irregularities of the election in great detail. Just last night they posted about another dead voter. Suffice to say there are far, far nore documented felon voters, dead voters and double voters than the 129-vote margin of "victory". That doesn't even get into all of the other problems such as many counties unable to match the number of ballots they are counting to voters certified as having voted. Last count, it is something like 8000+ more ballots cast than voters!
Medved is busy with more important things like continuing his jihad against the homeless ("they should be arrested or put in mental institutions").
Everyone's friend Mike lives in the exclusive island community of Mercer Island where the MEDIAN home price $680,000...
No, it's Medved's topic, one of his favorites. The quote is Medved's too.
Have you listened to Medved and tried to understand his arguments on the homeless?
Since I supplied his quote, "they should be arrested or put in mental institutions" it's a safe bet I have.
What does how wealthy he is and where he live have to do with anything?
Not anything, his incessant viscious needless attacks on the homeless, the profits of which, contribute to his ability to live in one of Washington's most expensive and exclusive island communities. It has everything to do with that.
Ask yourself this question: With the entire universe of talk-show topics out there, in one of the most dynamic periods in our nation's history, why does he constantly rag on the homeless?
My, my. Viscious (sic) indeed. So are you suggesting that anyone with the wealth to live on Mercer Island has attained this level because of profiting upon the poor and downtrodden? Wow, are you also in favor of "seizing the means of production" and taxing the rich, feeding the poor, until there are no rich, no more?
Give me a break.
Sad.
(returning to the *issue*)... Dear Michael has a long history of earning his living by publicly ragging on those who are unfortunate through no fault of their own.
Another example beside the homeless are *children* even *babies* born out of wedlock, or have you forgotten his long running "Celebrity Bastard Babies" segement? Hmmmmm?
Dear sweet loving Mike eventually had to give that up after months of lobbying by his friends.
It took months of effort by people such as Rabbi Lapin to convince dear Mike that 1) Babies born out of wedlock through no fault of their own are actually humans too and 2) this approach to innocent children was quite damaging and offensive to the Orthodox Jewish community and Judaism.
Yes... when I think to myself about the biggest group of liars, I automatically think about the men and women in our armed forces and their dedication to protecting our country.

There has been no attack on you here. There have been three questions asked of you by me and another, so that we might understand your positions as they pertain to Michael Medved -- as they are relevant to the issues YOU raised.
By the way, you should be careful in calling people names here. I don't take being called a typo nazi as anything but a very real insult and abusive. An apology would be accepted, if it were recognized by you as appropriate. If not, let me know that too.
