Rena Pederson
Dallas Morning News
Editorial Board,
Rena:
It's hard to understand what your dog is in this hunt, but you
have crossed the line of ever being considered fair again.
You have always claimed to support women, but push come to shove --
you are going with the money.
Laura has not been talking about Dunning's contributions to Hillary
Clinton. Everyone else has done that -- me, Jerry Bartos, John
Leedom and other GOP leaders and only in response to big time Democrat
contributor Dunning claiming he voted for Bush, which would be in
direct conflict with all the money he has given to Daschle, the
Clintons, Bill Bradley, et al. As a matter of fact, at the
Preston West Women's Republican Club (Dunning sent a surrogate), Laura
talked about her votes on several issues involving waste of taxpayer
money. She talked about her and Donna's sole opposition to
selling Downtown property worth millions for 1/7th of its value.
She never mentioned Hillary Clinton or Gore or partisan issues at all.
When someone attacks your home and your family, you do whatever
you can in defense, including beat them over the head.
As a puppet for Our Downtown Betters, you have been party to the
deterioration of Dallas as a city where anyone would want to work and
live. ODB puppets like you sit around and talk only with each
other or your "approved list of community leaders" like
Adelfa Callejo or Rene Martinez. Aren't you embarrassed, just a
little?
What you and Hank and the rest of the Editorial Board have done
throughout this campaign is to make the DMN Editorial Page no longer
relevant to anything important in Dallas. And you wonder why
your circulation is down?
My little newsletter, www.DallasArena.com,
gets thousands of hits per month and I don't advertise or do anything
to promote it. The people who read my site are the community
activists out there. I have readers and contributors from all
over the ethnic page and from every economic group. We are the
worker bees. We are the community. We are Dallas.
By the way, your cronies in the Park Cities and Plano and Addison are
not Dallas residents, Dallas taxpayers or Dallas voters. Your
attacks on Laura Miller may play well with them, but she's the
favorite among people who actually live and work in Dallas. You
might want to think about just how angry we are with your direct and
indirect attacks on her.
Hope you are looking forward to your retirement.

Fenner:
This quote by Bryan Tracy adequately describes our mayoral candidates.
We know Laura Miller is definitely action-oriented.
"One of the marks of superior people is that they are
action-oriented. One of the marks of average people is that they
are talk-oriented."

James Terry:
Sunday, following the election, one of the TV stations at the Garcia
announcement asked Dunning if he had given donations to Garcia.
Dunning said he had in the past and would probably do so in his state
race. I have not heard this mentioned by anyone and thought it might be
of use.
Great response to the Dallas News. Keep it up. On to victory.

Do the DMN editors ever read their newspaper?
Today's front page has a story of a single mom struggling to raise a
family on a modest income. This was paired with a story about how
so many working folks in Dallas have 2 jobs and are dependent on charity
to make ends meet. So what does the editorial board worry
themselves over? We don't have enough money to build a fancy bridge
across the Trinity River. Do these people ever get out of
their ivory tower? They could have funded one of those fancy
bridges if they had not invested/wasted it on the "Cue Cat".

About your letter to Pederson, I have lived in Dallas for 50 years and
have noticed the downtown business clique since I was a Senior in high
school and a civics teacher taught us about the Dallas political
infrastructure. He predicted we would be a one paper town and what
that would mean. Boy was he right.
Journalism has disappeared, along with objectivity. They moved
Doonesbury to the "editorial" page because of its content.
Yet, they will not do so for their own editorialized journalism.
We are an Oligarchy. Your letter to Rena Pederson...I would not
expect a response and will be surprised if you get one, especially
in writing.

You go girl! Just wish we didn't HAVE TO be the loyal opposition!
Did you see On the Record today? Sam Baker talked about the arena
boys wanting more taxpayer money and had some panelists debating the
pros and cons of it. That was a good thing.
Our City Council is NOT discussing this and they are not telling the
voters about it. That is a BAD THING.
Will they ever get it?

Donna Brenner:
Sharon, I haven't met you in person, nor have I met Laura. I have,
however, been a fan of hers since the Observer days. I love what
she stands for, which is why I have dug in my heels and am giving so
much time talking to people, hitting the road with signs -- before I was
given an assignment to do so.
I told Laura I was "one of her many street warriors" since she
decided to run for Mayor.
I have lived in Dallas for 39 years. It never fails the money gets
the positions, and I am sick of it!
My city council rep. has already heard from me on her lack of knowing
the truth. I am ticked off at those council members who went for
Dunning. It is so clear what is going here and it is just like it has
always been. The ONLY FRESH AIR is Laura -- not the same ole same
ole.
Tell Laura she is doing one hell of a job. Her taking the high
road makes me even more proud of her. I don't know how she has held her
composure with these rats.
Had Laura not run, I would have voted for Garcia ... anyone but
"pawns like Kirk or Dunning." I vote but have never
until now gotten involved with any Dallas political campaign.
Laura is exactly what we need in Dallas. I want her to keep on
going to the next step. I
Thank you for sending me your letter to Rena, think I will send her one
of myself. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.
You are my kind of girl, just like Ms. Laura. Give her my love and tell
her not to get to stressed out with these puppets.

Frank Stitch:
Give her hell Sharon. You know how I feel about Ms Pederson's total lack of integrity.

Jim D:
Come on, Sharon. The DMN hates Laura. That's a fact of life. Let's use
it.
Newspapers are supposed to provide objective oversight of our political
system. With the way the DMN has soft-peddled Dunning's shortcomings and
close knit ties with those who benefit from the City's largess at the
expense of taxpayers, what chance do we voters have for objective and
comprehensive reporting of the activities at City Hall if Dunning gets
elected. If Laura Miller gets elected, the DMN can be counted on
to watch over every move of the head of our city...for the first
time since the DMN ran the DTH out of business.
