make three obvious statements.</span></p>

do not know who sent the infamous postcards.<span> </span>(I did
not get one, but that may be due to a post office error combined with
another factor if one was sent to my rural address.)<span>
</span>There are many rumors, allegations, and a few facts flying
about this incident.<span> </span>It is too early to label this
incident a hoax, or if it is a hoax, what kind.<span> </span>I
believe the local press has been premature and irresponsible in
labeling the incident a hoax at first blush.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">2.<span> </span>I
do not approve or condone anonymous/forged campaign material (if this
is what it is) even when that material may contain statements, though
inflammatory, at least some of which appear to be true.<span>
</span>I hope the perpetrator(s) is/are caught and exposed before the
election.</span></p>

</span>If Bouma's religious beliefs reflect the way he thinks about
political issues (and they appear to do so) then it is not only
dishonest but cowardly for him not to reveal his religious beliefs and
how they influence his political positions. <span> </span>Voters
ought not be tricked into buying a pig in a poke.<span> </span>A

to an objective, thorough job investigating Postcardgate.<span>
</span>I hope this is not going to be another Sitler style whitewash
and cover-up motivated in part by the sheriff's religious values
rather than his professional duties.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">There is no reason to except the
so-called victim, his associates, and other organizations supporting
his candidacy from suspicion.<span> </span>Bouma appears to be
reaping benefit from the incident as it is being used both to raise
money and sympathy for him.<span> </span>Some of the material
appearing on the postcard appeared on Vision 2020 and other places
before the mailings occurred.<span> </span>The postcard may have
been an attempt to set a backfire.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is a case where the investigation
could be greatly expedited and reach the correct result if the county
prosecutor calls for and uses a Magistrate's Inquiry.<span>
</span>Although some people, especially those belonging to certain
churches/cults who believe in Covenantal Dishonesty (it's alright to
lie, even under oath, if it appears to promote God's will), there may
be some people of good conscience that will tell the truth under oath
regardless.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I don't know what the focus of the
investigation is, but I hope that no time is spent on copyright
violations given the free use provisions of the copyright
laws.</span></p>

not suffered a pecuniary loss, but has actually reaped a pecuniary
benefit.<span> </span>For another, campaign material freely used

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">, for example, you will find that for
some printers there is a way to not only identify the kind/brand-name
of the printer a document was printed on, but also in some cases, the

trick, a much more important issue is at stake.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The anonymous nature of the postcard and
the kneejerk, panic-stricken, overly irrational response to it should
not be allowed to act as a clever smokescreen.<span> </span>The
issue here is Bouma's ability, desirability, and fitness to serve as a
state senator.</span></p>

do they affect his political opinions, how do they affect his attitude
toward certain classes of voters (gays and Mormons, e.g.), and why
does he not have the honesty and courage to reveal and to discuss how
his religious beliefs determine and affect his political
positions?</span></p>

parade under the banner of Christianity are innumerable. I can't help
but think of Mitt Romney standing in front of the cameras the other

Christian as any other main-stream denomination. We believe that
salvation is only through Jesus Christ and we worship Him as our
Lord.”</font></span></p>

comment this week about Mormons believing that Jesus and Satan were
brothers, I had to read through the chapter on Mormonism in Kingdom of
the Cults. Not only do they indeed believe that Jesus and Satan were
brothers, they deny the Virgin Birth, the sufficiency of Christ's
death on the cross to atone for all sins and such things as God was a
man once just as we are. He achieved such a state of holiness in his
flesh that he was rewarded by becoming the god of this planet. He
showed up here as Adam and later impregnated Mary, who conceived and
produced Jesus. He also had a few kids with the other Mary and her
sister Martha.</font></span></p>

They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over
weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all
kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to acknowledge
the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these
men oppose the truth — men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith
is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because,
as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
NIV Did you ever wonder why the J.W.s and the Mormons and their ilk
always do their legwork in the middle of the day? It's because the
women are normally home alone. Every family that I personally know of
who has been indoctrinated by one of these groups has been because the
wife was first deceived.</font></span></p>

</span>What exactly are Bouma's religious beliefs, how does justify
belief in them, and how will these beliefs influence his actions,
stands, and votes as a state senator representing a plurality of Latah
