Hello everyone. I'm going to tell you why I stick by my friends: When the sun isn't shining and you need help, those who lend you their love and support (and even risk their own safety and well being) are the friends you love and support.

There are plenty of friends who come out to support you when the sun is shining and the smell of flowers are in the air but when the sun cannot be found and the smell of death is everywhere, those are true friends that love you, for in a way they help you to conquer death.

This is why I include you in this letter. By you, I mean those here among us, who support the Declaration of Independence, United States Constitution and the American Republic. You who have and cherish these beliefs are those friends of the "Republic" who come out when the sun is not shining and even when the smell of death is in the air.

Thank GOD, there were among our forefathers and foremothers men and women who would not stand anymore for a king or his rotten monarchy (which is what we have today).

As far as my friends, I don't pick them according to the latest gossip, I pick them because they are my friends. "What better or more proper can we call our own than riches of friends"- this was a para-phrase of Shakespeare, I believe from Timon of Athens and even if he didn't say it, it's a damn good philosophy to go by.

Long Live The Republic!

Leonard Clark

I think for me, my biggest problem with Crum was his incredibly poor spelling and grammar. I know he also tended to really go off, and coming from me that is saying something. Considering I refer to those who use lies and deceit to make their case sAAtanists...

Leonard,
Loyalty to friends is an admirable trait. It is also one that can get you and others into big trouble. Look at Bush's loyalty to Rumsfeld as a perfect example of the trouble you can find yourself in when you put loyalty above the facts and clear headed thinking.

But your campaign is your business. You are solely responsible for all the emanates from it, whether you say it or not.

Just something to think about.

Leonard Clark,

This is the best you can come up with when someone makes a clear accusation that someone working on your behalf has already shown instability towards others? The man stalked people from this site to a place of business, opened the hood of his Suburban and hid behind it to watch for a reaction. When the police were called, and they were called, he left. Why?

If he was there for no other reason than coincidence he would have no reason to flee when the police were called.

Look, I was given some excellent advice by my father years ago. You pick your friends, don't let your friends pick you.

I would have no doubt but to question your judgement in people should this man stay involved with your campaign. Likewise I would question whether you were really able to lead knowing you had people surrounding you of such unstable judgement, let alone if you were a true leader at all with the likes of William Crum, a three time loser for political office, no doubt because he is barely coherent in word or pen, standing in your shadow or worse, giving you your answers.

It's up to you Clark, but I would not let this man anywhere near me of my career as you are making politics just that, your career.

And though your poem on friendship was cute it is hardly the direct answer I would expect from a man who thinks himself the next Senator from Arizona...

This Letter is addressed to those who call themselves so called Average Americans: Some of them reall are Average Americans but most of them are like the so called former East German DEMOCRATIC Republic. You know, that so called Communist Democracy that shot its own people trying to escape from it. Average American, just come out and say it, all your really trying to do is split the progressive and American voices so that we don't stand and fight that traitor you worship (the Anti-Christ wannabe) Prince George Bush. Don't think for a minute you and your Monarchist friends are going to just be handed the keys to our American Republic without a fight (non-violently). LIVE FREE OR DIE! That's how I answer you and your brainwashed Fascist supporters. Down with the King!

When you and Bush's Nazi's come knocking on our doors, we have only one reply: NUTS !

Long Live The Republic !

Not One More American Soldier Should Die In that Lie We Call Iraq NO Mas !

Another thing, if your going to make accusations about Mr. Crum you better have something to back it up with! You will not succeed in dividing our Recall Campaign, no matter how hard you and your fascist supporters try, Just Remember: NUTS !

Ladies and gentlemen, if one always live in the past, you will an unhappy life. Since none of you have ever talk to me personal, to say you don't know me would be the truth. I have made mistakes in my past;understand this, I can learn from mistakes and learn. Can you? To all though you don't fall into one of the two groups: Hey there.

Truth to power - meet me at the Capital on the 24th and try communicating with us.

PAX.

Tom,

To answer you a field report was taken but no further action was needed.

I am sure if you pursue it the report can be found by the Phoenix P.D.

But to Leonard, the ramblings you posted are somewhat incoherent along with those of the esteemed Mr. Crum. I can tell he is working closely with you.

You sound just a bit unhinged.

My desire to bring to light these things is not to "split" your little recall campaign, as I have said, I am no great fan of McCain, but to bring the truth outinto the light. William, in his response has all but admitted what happened, "I have made mistakes in my past;" so there is no need to harp on it any further. A simple line about mistakes in the past, not a full admission but what would you expect from someone trying to keep his head above the political water. Perhaps as a politician he (Crum) could be better prepared than Mr. CLark. Although an equality of the two is most likely what we have here.

But I still must ask why you would have a man so inept so closely related to your activities. If this is the first issue you have had with Mr. Crum, pray it to be your last. But I would prepare yourself for what comes next. I may only be the smoke that leads to the inferno yet to come out.

Average American.
