An interesting phenomenon has been occuring in various newspaper "Letters to the Editor" pages. A woman with the same name has had letters published in no fewer than 9 newspapers praising Obama while using various city and location residences.
Now it's one thing if the person(s) name was something like John Brown, Steve Smith, Amy Jones or any other number of common name combination. However the name being used is Ellie Light.
This may seem like much about nothing except for one small thing. The only Ellie Light that FReepers were able to locate by Lexis-Nexis or internet searches were a reporter that used to write for the Bergen Record.

This reporter, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Washington bureau head, Sabrina Eaton has published several email exchanges with "Ellie Light" on her personal blog on cleveland.com. These exchanges are on the source URL for this post.
This is a very troubling development. Until it is known who "Ellie Light" the following questions are obvious.
- Who is behind the pseudonym "Ellie Light"?
- Is someone from the White House, Democratic party or a close ally employing someone conducting this kind of work?
- Why are newspapers failing to contact letter(s) to the editor to verify name, address/location and phone number and instead relying on email exchanges?
- Can you imagine these questions not being asked if they were the same name, publishing the same letter to the editor in various newspapers around the United States praising a Republican President?
I give major kudos to Sabrina Eaton for doing some true reporting and investigative work. I would be opposed to any White House or political party conducting such a campaign. This is a dangerous trend that's been revealed; newspapers are verifying even less and less information that they publish.
I urge Ms. Eaton and FReepers to stay abreast of this story and not let it die.
So, Obama's buddy Sustein has his personal sex slave writing letters saying how great Obama is.
Cheers!
L E Light=GE?

she has listed her email address.
would this be mrs. sunstein?
wow, I just heard almost the same exact hype from a caller in the radio program that someone posted here last night too. The show is hard to get through because the liberals literally get so worked up they almost have heart attacks but listen if you can stomach it.
Radio’s Diane Rehm:”Republicans have wanted to kill Obama from the time he was elected” http://bit.ly/jZer
These are obama’s organizer’s I betcha. If you say it enough then some will believe it.
Samantha Power AKA "Ellie White"
I just wrote a letter to the editor for the Mobile paper, and within 2 hours of them receiving the email they emailed back wanting my address and phone number. The next day, the actually called and asked if I’d written the letter. When I said yes, they said it would be published in the next couple of days....now why didn’t these newspapers feel they should verify a Letter to the Editor unless it’s because they were so pro-obambi they just plain didn’t care if they were legit or not!
Yes!
The very same.
She Mrs. Czar. Wonder if she has a “paid” position?
From her resume it does not appear she has ever done an honest day's work in her life.
She appears to be another "progressive intellectual" whose career has consisted of floating like a piece of flotsam on the sea that is the leftwing globalist media-academic-government complex where any "right-thinking" person can easily find a niche, often supported by tax or tuition or foundation dollars.
Strong candidate to be the "Ellie Light" of the astroturf trick.
Put a portion of her comments in google and search I have found the letter on at least 30 newspaper sites
The Ellie Light scandal pretty much encapsulates the Dem. takeover of the Capitol and White House. Barry, Rahm and Axelrod’s policy outlook is only shared by a very tiny percentage of the population. This tiny segment creates millions of fake identities and floods the media with phony testimonials. Seems like half of the callers on CSPAN on the “Republican Line” are Dem supporters who call over and over and preface every call with “I’m a lifelong Republican voter, but “ and then launch into their Ellie Light-style embrace of Barry’s talking points. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ellie Light is not also receiving taxpayer funds via ACORN or some other quasi-Dem satellite for their work on behalf of Barry.
These comments we are reading on this thread will be the talking points we hear over and over from now on. They will be drilled by obama’s people into media until everyone hears it.
Obama can’t work miracles and everyone thought he could. He needs more time. Give him more chances. Vote back in his party so he has a chance to make CHANGE he promised!
Interesting that so many papers printed the letters.
