Moderator, do not pull this thread!
One of the main functions of Free Republic is to subject news and rumors to critical commentary and analysis. Because of this thread, many people who had received the email from Liberty Belle have now been informed that the information was inaccurate.
After I emailed the Liberty Belle organization, they sent out a retraction which reads as follows:
From: "Liberty Belles" [feedback@libertybelles.org]
Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 6:38 AM
Subject: RE: "fraudulent" Davis recall petitions
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Please accept our apologies for the e-mail entitled, "RECALL DAVIS HOAX." This was sent to you in error.
The paragraph in question is a legitimate rebuttal issued by Governor Davis as is allowable by law. THE PETITIONS ON WWW.DAVISRECALL.COM AND WWW.RECALLGRAYDAVIS.COM ARE NOT HOAXES.
Again, please accept our apologies for this e-mail. We were given incorrect information from what is usually a reliable source and rushed to get the information to you right away.
Sincerely,
Jennifer and Joe
Liberty Belles
