My Great Supporters,
I conceded the Newcastle council race a few days ago before the certification of the vote that has taken place at the shady King County Elections Department (they misrepresented a lot of photos with silhouette-like exposures in the general election voters' pamphlet this year). Congratulations to Mr. Drescher. The congressional campaign in the 9th District is going very well, and like nearly all elections that I'm in, I got a very early start, although the rightist "Blue Dog" Democrat, Adam Smith, had his signs up at Newcastle Days last September. Federal Way and Bellevue are the two biggest cities in the 9th District, and my support is very strong in both cities. Federal Way was key in my winning the G.O.P. nomination in the 9th District in 2004 before it was snatched away from me by the then Dean Logan-run King County Elections Department (by neglect, not willful culpability) and handed to a political novice. The official vote count for me then was 47 per cent, the actual vote count was likely 50 to 53 per cent.
If the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, Jenny Durkan, happens to be reading this, which is unlikely, I am making a plea to her to send out a press release and reveal to the western Washington media everything she knows about the 2004 primary in the 9th Congressional District. Her office has already ignored one inquiry from me a few years ago, so I really don't expect any change from that venue (she was appointed by a Democratic Party administration, after all). What I will really need to get the truth out to the wider community is one or two really good investigative reporters with a little heft, and who are with the mainstream media. The chances of that happening for the case of an alternative politician who was denied a rightful primary victory almost 10 years ago are slim to none, but it is one of very few cards that I hold that may help to catapult me to the 114th Congress.
Thank you, and by the way, I can accept up to $5000 in contributions before I have to file any paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission. I don't have a PayPal or anything like that, so if you just drop a check or a money order under $50 to the Commoner Local Affairs Campaign Committee to my post office box (address information is in the right column), then that would be of great help to this campaign and greatly appreciated. Once I reach the $5000 threshold, if not before, then I will start an internet system for accepting contributions. By law, be a U.S. citizen and at least 18 years old to make a contribution. If you decide to be extra generous by contributing 50 or more, by law, please, include your name, address and occupation.
