When Republicans are stupid: Propaganda in place of reforms

It's a shame that Sam Reed is a Republican, since his desire to aid the democrats in securing illegal votes seems so strident.

What Reed SHOULD do is become a passionate advocate for REAL election reform, instead of the nonsensical pity-pat crap he's BEEN shilling.

And now, he's going to waste $2.5 million trying to get us to swallow this garbage?

Propaganda in place of reforms

Secretary of State Sam Reed is going to blow $2.5 million of the taxpayer's money on advertisements touting last session's vote-fraud-promoting "election reforms" -- "State to spend $2.5M on voter-confidence campaign"

The state awarded a $2.5 million contract to an advertising and public relations firm to restore confidence in the voting process.

Daniels-Brown Communications (More legislative incest?) was awarded the two-year contract to create and produce a voter education campaign for the Secretary of State's Office, according to an announcement.

The campaign is expected to include advertising on television, radio and in newspapers and magazines during the next two election cycles, officials said.

The message will focus on reforms passed this year by the Legislature following major problems in the gubernatorial election last fall. Earlier this month I gave a talk at a Skagit County GOP dinner. I got the most applause when I said we need to recruit somebody other than Sam Reed to run for Secretary of State in 2008. This $2.5 million "confidence restoration" advertising nonsense (as well as this) in place of actual confidence-building reforms is exactly why the public has lost so much confidence in elections and in the Secretary of State.
