Richard Lee: $8000 To Finance His Own Anti-Recall Campaign?

Update 02-26-2008: Anybody from District 3 been contacted by a phone survey the last few days on the Lee Recall?
Survey Questions Asked:
"First question: If you were to vote today would you vote to recall County Commissioner Richard Lee?"

"Second Question: If you knew the recall was being run by individuals with a grudge Mr. Lee and the information was false and manufactured would you change your vote?"


This from an email:

"Now, I read Mr. Lee's wife has inserted a fresh $8,000.00 plus an unnamed, aditional $175.00 into a new Anti-Recall Campaign filed with the Oregon State's Elections Division.

I thought Mr. Lee insisted that he is guilty of nothing and his socalled "Silent Majority" of supporters in Commission District #3 were behind him all the way and would support him to the end.

If that is so, why would any of this effort be necessary and doesn't it, in some sense, infer guilt on his part to react in this manner?"

Do not publish my email address - please

That's silly logic. To assume someone is guilty because they choose to defend themselves from spurious charges and lies.

I think there was a question there, not an assumption and are the charges, indeed, spurious?

Mr. Lee has yet to address, at least to inform his constituents, the specific allegations in the recall petition, at least to my knowlege.

And now a "Push Poll" focussing on District 3 constituents does not help Mr. Lee's case at all, if confirmed his support structure was behind it.

I can understand why those of you supporting this grossly offensive recall would not want the victim to defend himself--The TRUTH is your enemy!

Patrick McGee said...

And I find myself attempting to interpret someone else's comments for them for which I should not but, what is the truth here?

Do you know the truth in your defense of Lee?

What is it?

You tell us will you?

He doesn't seem inclined to do so at the moment.
