Do you change the city you live in at the end of each comment/editorial too?
Ellie Light lives in 10, 20, 60+... cities. She’s everywhere.

Ellie Light is a letter writer to various newspapers in the United States of America. Her letters universally support President Barack Obama, leading some to suggest the letters are “suspicious”.[1] The letters also contain the following closing statement: “...and a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.” (http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/135196.html) Each letter is very similar in grammar, style and substance. Ellie Light, in each of the 40 Plus letters, ‘claims’ to live in the community where the newspaper in which each of the letters is published or circulated.

There’s a list of the newspapers. Who owns them?
Dude... my FIRST thought as well.
Ellie Light = “elite”
Our true enemy is the group of self styled “elite” that would “rule” us.
Are there any RICO laws broken here? Any reason to turn it over to the FBI? Any legal issues?
“Ellie Light lives in 10, 20, 60+... cities. She’s everywhere.”
She’s a global citizen you know...
Yes.........because I've found some of the online publications will only accept local comments as identified by zip codes.
Hmmmm....
From Ellie Light: “today, the President is being attacked as if he were a salesman who promised us that our problems would wash off in the morning. He never made such a promise. It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a President can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.”
From Patches Kennedy: “If you think there’s magic out there and things can be turned around overnight, then you would vote for someone who could promise you that, like Scott Brown. If you don’t, if you know that it takes eight years for George Bush and his cronies to put our country into this hole … then you know we have a lot of digging to do, but some work needs to be done and this president’s in the process of doing it and we need to get Marcia Coakley to help him to do that.”
Another REALLY peculiar thing is that all of the newspapers that have posted her letter attribute her as a resident of the local area.
Now, if she were sitting in one location and mailing out a bunch letters across the nation, the Post Mark would be a dead giveaway...
Perhaps she is just using her email account (ellie(dot)light(at)yahoo(dot)com) and changing her location information to fit the newspaper’s locale that she is targeting.
Because, if she isn’t emailing to the newspapers, then that would suggest a massive campaign by individuals in various states to copy the letter and then mail it to their local newspaper (which is what I think is going on...)
If you want a very thorough list of her residence, Patterico’s Pontifications has done a great job of tracking them down:
Cheers
Doubtless Ellie will continue to find many willing accomplices. Disingenuous on his part, however, to submit separate localities, but that is to be expected.
Actually, there’s a simpler little joke going on with her name. “Ellie,” coming from the Greek, means “light.”
heck, they are flat-out similar in content.

P.S. - If it isn’t an email spammer type operation, or an underground Libtard operation throughout the U.S., then, yes, I think you are right; the Journalists are in cahoots.
Cheers
She’s even Bankok (or some similar local)
She's a Greg Packer multiplied.
Sounds like Patches and Ellie received the same set of talking points — not the echo of “magic,” “promise” and “work.”
