Ugly campaign tactics in Federal Way | Letter

I was shocked by the ugly photo-chopped visual imagery of Shari Song depicted in a pricey, glossy mailer sent out by a group, or possibly person, calling itself Working Families, based in Sammamish.

This entity has absolutely no connection with a national group, Working Families, based in New York, which concerns itself with affordable housing, fighting climate change, reforming criminal justice, making higher education debt free, fair taxation, quality public education, accessible health care, a livable minimum wage, getting money out of politics, paid sick days for workers — the list goes on and on and is one that Jesus Christ the social justice advocate would recommend.

However, the only purpose for existence of the Sammamish group is sending out ugly photo-chopped portrayals of Song that contain malicious lies about her.

Here is what I know about Working Families in Sammamish: its location is a post office box, No. 104, at the post office located at 704 228th Ave. NE, Sammamish, WA 98074. It has a phone number, (206) 617-9762, the voicemail of one Jeff (Jefferson) Davis.

Who knows what dark-moneyed political group is behind this malicious, hate-filled front. It could be Iranian, it could be Russian, it might be the Koch Brothers or Karl Rove.

We don’t know these things anymore because the U.S. Supreme Court says it is fine for dark and ugly campaign money vilifying decent candidates for office to be secretly sourced.
