Addendum to Yesterday's Story
In researching yesterday's story on Arno Political Consultants, who obtained the signatures for three ballot measures which may be on Oregon's November ballot, I wrote to APC:
Courage.

Mon, 10 Jul 2006 14:29:04 -0700I received this reply from Michael Arno, too late to include in the report:
Dear APC (info@apcusa.com):
On your webpage, you state:
"For a list of our more than 500 clients please feel free to contact us."
I am interested in your services, but I would like to see the list.
Might I?
Thank you in advance for your attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
Hart Williams
From: "Michael Arno"Straight from the horse's mouth.

We haven't updated our website in some time and no longer give out our client list. However, we tend to work on behaf (sic) of conservative/republican clients and the business community. Please feel free to call if you have any questions at (916) 638-1596 and ask for Michael Arno.
Thank you.

Of course had you identified yourself as a quasi-journalist we may have been able to have a different conversation. You are doing exactly what all the other so-called journalists have been doing to my company for the past five years: perpetuating a erroneous story that my company engages in any type of fraud. The stories stick because of Google, and the accusers are able to get away with it because they have a sympathetic ear with the reporters. But the fact the stories are oft-repeated still doesn't make them any more accurate. Politics through defamation is what the unions and the left have come to and it does not become your otherwise well-researched Blog to carry the water for them. Show a little courage and call -- I left my telephone number.

P.S. Lesson one in writing: don't point out a typo from another writer unless what you have written is free of the same.
