Trail continues use of unauthorized quotes from citizens after asked to stop

(Moscow)	Three Moscow residents quoted by Tom Trail in 
campaign ads and mailings say they were never contacted by the Trail 
campaign and did not and do not authorize the use of their names or 
words. Janet Fiske, Donovan Arnold and Dottie LeFors all say Trail is 
using their names and words to deliberately misrepresent their 
opinion of Trail's opponent Mark Solomon.

"I was not asked and did not give Trail permission to use my name or 
out-of-context words. He has deliberately misrepresented my current 
opinion of Mark Solomon," said Fiske, Arnold and LeFors.

Notified of the unauthorized use of Arnold's name and words, radio 
station KCLX-FM pulled Trail's ads off the airwaves. Despite 
notification to the Moscow-Pullman Daily News and the UI Argonaut by 
Arnold and LeFors of the unauthorized use, Trail ads continue to run 
with the misleading statements included. Trail continued the 
unauthorized use in a campaign mailing sent to Moscow residents 
October 29th.

"It is sad to see a man previously held in such high regard sink to 
this low level of political discourse," said Mark Solomon. "We must 
use every opportunity available to unite our community, not tear it 
apart, if we are to prevail over interests in Boise that would 
further weaken the UI, public education and our education-based 
economy."
