I'm not disputing that members gave testimony, or ultimately if Bo is
or isn't a member of his own choosing at any given time (although he
did "back off" from the group in 2004, you may have read).
I'm disputing the representation that CVV was invited to participate.
You may recall that it took Neal McBurnett speaking out of turn to
force the Republican member to acknowledge the public, and I don't
recall that anyone ever said "I'm here speaking on behalf of CVV".
Your lawyer was there, she might recall that I complained that CVV
was not represented (as well as three other citizen action groups),
and that in fact sometime after that, you must have added the name
CVV or Citizens for Verifiable Voting to your committee roster.
Linda clearly represented that CVV was invited to participate on par
with the other named members such as the League and the parties.
Show us the invite you sent to CVV to participate, or is there one?
Who signed the non-disclosure on behalf of CVV? Where is CVV's copy
of the binder?
I think you have misrepresented. You are the one who chose to include
mention of CVV in your report, and Linda is the one who chose to
attempt to agglomerate the good will of the CVV common law mark and
confuse the "marketplace" by suggesting an association where none
exists.
For servants of the public trust, this type of intentionally
deceptive behavior is unconscionable.
I await the invitation to participate or a retraction, you can even
send a bitmap PDF and I don't think anyone will complain about that
this time.
