Another Dumb E-mail From State Rep. and Bully-Wannabe Jim Moeller
Remember WA State Rep. Jim Moeller and his "dumb e-mail" a few weeks ago? Well, the good Rep. is back with more fuel for the fire. The following was sent to the office secretary of Teen-Aid.org, the Spokane-based abstinence education group, after Moeller received the August newsletter, emphasis added in red:
So Rep. Moeller has gone from just being arrogant, to bullying non-profits whom he doesn't agree with. LeAnna Benn, the director of Teen-Aid, had earlier received this e-mail from Rep. Moeller, when she e-mailed about any connection he might have had with NARAL's "Screw Abstinence" party, along with his support of "comprehensive sex education":
Bottom line: it's one thing for an elected official to disagree with the public, and to stand up for what you think is right and best for your constituents. But it's quite another thing for an elected offical to routinely and openly be hostile to the public, and even try bully people who are trying to provide a valuable and much needed service - just because of difference in political idealogy. You can bet that if this were a GOP rep responding to a member of NARAL in this manner, the Northwest media would be all over this.
Is there NO moderate Republican or Democrat in southwest Washington that can run against Rep Moeller the next time his seat is up for grabs?
Tanya:
Please remove me from your email distribution list. You message clearly
indicates that your organization believes teaching teenagers about
contraception is bad. That's an extremely dangerous message in today's world
and I believe will have tragic results for many young lives some day. I do
not fault nor necessarily disagree with your premise that abstinence until
marriage is the best policy for teenagers, but to advocate that teenagers
not be given all the information (that includes all forms of contraception)
for fear they could become sexually active and avoid STD's, pregnancy and
heartache is downright reckless.
I will also be contacting by congressional representatives about your
federal funding. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi LeAnna:
I'm a co-sponsor of the legislation you speak of. NARAL didn't write it. I
don't care what they think or say and neither should you. I still support
comprehensive sex education for our students that INCLUDES abstinence. I'm
tired or your insistent diatribe that abstinence is not part of the
legislation. CAN YOU NOT READ?? If you cannot add anything to the debate,
please remove me from your distribution list. Thank you.

Sorry.... the 49th District is as close to communism as Broadway in Seattle.
This guy's been arrogant for the entirety of his political career because of the near impossibility of finding a democrat down here who isn't to the left of Lenin to take him on. R's have no chance in the 49th, period. Merely BEING an R is a campaign issue.
No, we're stuck with this clown as much as the WA-7 is stuck with that embarrassment OWKA Congressman McDermott.

More from the tolerant left. You know orb, if you have a bad attitude, you just need to have your taxes raised.
Speaking of "Screw Abstinence" - IBlog4SenatorCantwell said THIS and THIS in condemnation of the event.
Not so fast in the 49th. For several years, Don Carlson was elected from the 49th, both as a state representative and senator.
Don wasn't my kind of Republican, and we disagreed on some issues, but he still belonged to the R caucus, not the D caucus.
You need a Pataki Republican or Giuliani Republican to run down there. At least he counts for party control of the chamber.

To JWALKER:
About bad attitudes leading to higher tax "contributions" - I don't know what great American icon said that but the wisdom and intelligence behind it is truly inspiring. I know I speak for all of the Orbusmax community on that.
