We need some questions answered. How did ALL these newspapers happen to pick this same letter writer?
Or were they given a letter and told to print it?
Glad to see you got your CAPS key fixed.
Very good question acutally.
I don’t think it’s a newspaper conspiracy. The conservative Washington Times is one of the hoodwinked papers.
If you don't get 'em fixed you'll end up neck-deep in the dang things.
What address and phone # came with those letters/emails? My local paper requires those to publish.
It appears that Ellie Lite may very well be Cass Sunstein’s girlfriend and a White house employee. Apparently sunstein wrote the book on “cognitive infiltration”
Very interesting stuff in this thread.

OMG!!! BINGO!!! You NAILED IT!!! What ARE the chances that ALL of these papers picked “her” letter??? ZERO to NONE!!! It HAS to be the WHITE HOUSE doings!!!!
Ellie Lite is most likely a 45 year old PC junkie who works in one of the DNC basements. The one’s where the employees aren’t really on record.

Glenn Greenwald
In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-”independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites — as well as other activist groups — which advocate views that Sunstein deems “false conspiracy theories” about the Government. This would be designed to increase citizens’ faith in government officials and undermine the credibility of conspiracists. The paper’s abstract can be read, and the full paper downloaded, here.
Interesting theory. Plausible. It takes some expense to send letters to apparently hundreds of newspapers. Stamps, envelopes, printing, finding out the addresses of the newspapers (takes staff time). FR should compile a list of all the newspapers which printed the letter, if this is not done by intrepid journalists. Must determine the magnitude. I saw on other threads that a highly placed Obamaphile Samantha Power may have authored this letter. Wiki already has an “Ellie Lite” article. This brings to mind the “Cannuck letter” written in the Nixon White House by Chuck Colson as a dirty trick against rival Ed Muskie. We needs some good FReepers on this mystery. I hope Rahm or Ax wrote it (or even one of Michelle’s 22 highly paid elves).
If this were happening with regularity, involving several ‘individual’ writers, I'd be suspicious.
If just a case of one name with same letter popping up n several newspapers, I'd be more inclined to say ‘one writer who sent to several newspapers.’ (I've done that myself, to cover a wider readership.)
Newspapers, especially smaller ones, try to print all letters to the editor. And they do not consult with one another over the subject/author of the letters they get.
I would tend to say: don't use up energy on something like this unless it was obviously a concerted effort with several letters in several papers by several writers.
One writer does not a conspiracy make.
Ellie Lite (or Light, as I’ve also seen it) is a whole lot like the LTTE abbreviation I’ve seen for Letters To The Editor. Anyone else notice that? Maybe they were supposed to have different names to go with them, but some staffer didn’t notice?
Try to get just ONE Letter to the Editor published.
It is nearly impossible.
Funny how the Obama Administration gets 50 fake propaganda “letters” published?
Ellie Lite is a Yankee fan
Ummm - there's this here thing called the computer and email. don't take no stamps or addressing envelopes nor nothing...and GOOGLE gives you the name and email addresses right easy.
Not a conspiracy exactly, but I could have pulled it off.
The "style" is remarkably similar to one of the members of the old Obama Truth Squad.
