Statement from Mainstream Coalition

[atommom]

Monday, November 1, the day before election day ...

What is the MAINstream staff doing? We're fielding calls from many in north Johnson County concerned about automated calls they received last evening from Dwight Sutherland, representing himself as a MAINstream spokesperson, and disparaging Dennis Moore.

Of course, Sutherland can in no way speak for us, or MAIN*PAC, which is the only MAINstream entity that endorses candidates. He is the deep-pockets of the underhanded ultra-conservative campaign machine. Sutherland is known for his last minute "dirty tricks" and this is just another one. It's really a shame that he can't direct his considerable energy and intellect in a more positive way.

MAIN*PAC is unwavering in its support for Dennis Moore.

The media will probably not pick up this story, despite our attempts to expose Sutherland. Sadly there are plenty of last minute "dirty tricks" to go around, and the media have rules about avoiding negative campaign news within 24 hours of an election.

The best we can do to counter this blatant attack on our integrity is to spread the news to as many as we can. Use your email list today to forward this message and ask others to do the same.

Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to call Sutherland (we hate to call him Mr.) at his home and office to register your disappointment. Home: 913-384-1418 and Office: 913-782-2350.

1. Go Dennis.....I used to vote at the Oak Park Library..

I voted for Dennis when he first ran against that idiot Snowbarger. I now live in Chesapeake Virginia. I miss OP.

2. If you were still here you could be voting for me!

I'm running for the Kansas State House, and Oak Park library is in my district.

3. If I was still there you would have my vote. I used to live at

10618 W98th Terrace. My son really misses Oak Park Elem. He would have been in sixth grade there. And by the way...good luck. I hope you get elected.

4. I went to high school with Dwight Sutherland

He is a jerk. Thanks for posting his number. I will call him and tell him he is an embarrassment to the great education he got.

FYI, that whole Sutherland family is way strange.
