<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Indeed, my intent was never to help that asshat
Bouma. My intent was to help discover who is doing dirty political tricks---I
would be outraged (and have been) over things done to the Dems as well. My main
concern was exactly what happened to Saundra Lund: the Fundy/Conservative
Religious Right gets "bad press/victimized" and "who musta-done-it" begins with
targeting those on the progressive left. What a freakin' crock o crap that I, of
all people, might be "accused" of helping that idiot Bouma.....</FONT></DIV>

Since the sender is unknown, the intent is unknown. It could of have
been sent by the Bouma campaign or a Bouma supporter. Given the money
and sympathy raised by Bouma on the mailings, a healthy dose of skepticism
about who sent the mailings is indicated. In fact, if the LCSD
asked at the start of their investigation "Who benefits?" they would not
be wasting time interviewing Saundra Lund and attempting to intimidate her for
expressing her views in a public forum. It appears that the
LCSD is again floundering around. Given the sheriff's religious and
political perspectives, this is hardly surprising.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

I do not think those would contributed to the reward fund did it to help Bouma
out. They believed at the time, thanks in part to the kneejerk reaction
of the local media, that the postcard was a nasty political hoax. At
best, we don't know if it was a hoax or not. Smart money is on the side
that it was a cleverly crafted political ploy that has very successfully
benefited Bouma. </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT color=#000000>Pursuing this line,
let us not forget that the postcard was an invitation to attend Freeze
Church. The language clearly indicated that the recipient targeted was
already assumed to be committed to vote for Bouma and McGraw. There were
political implications -- implications which those already committed to vote
for Bouma would presumably be in agreement with and supportive of
candidates that held such beliefs. </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

beliefs expressed on the postcard were not only consistent but in agreement
with the beliefs of Freeze Church where Bouma attends and occasionally
preaches. In this regard, the religious statements/imperatives on the
postcard were accurate, not libelous, hence not
defamatory.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

Argonaut.<BR><BR>---------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>Reward
Fund Regarding Bouma Postcard Hoax<BR>Kayla Herrman, Argonaut<BR><BR>A
$3,000 reward has been promised by an Idaho non-profit cooperation
to<BR>anyone who is knowledgeable about the "Friends of Bouma" postcard
hoax<BR>that happened the weekend of Oct. 16.<BR><BR>Currently, the city,
county, and state are involved in investigations<BR>regarding the hoax,
which blatantly attacked several groups and targeted<BR>Latah County Senate
candidate Gresham Bouma.<BR><BR>The fund has been put together by David
Nelson, chair of the local<BR>Democratic Party, Walter Steed, chair of the
local Republican Party, and<BR>Tom Hansen, owner and manager of Moscow
Cares, a service entity that<BR>contributes to and funds charitable
causes.<BR><BR>A reward of $2,900 and $500 that is further promised has been
pledged to<BR>the Postcard Hoax Information Reward Fund, which includes
$1,000 from<BR>Gresham Bouma, and $1,000 from Moscow Cares, Hansen
said.<BR><BR>"The remaining contributions were from the community. The
largest<BR>contribution we received was $100, and donations have ranged from
$20 to<BR>$100," Hansen said.<BR><BR>"The main purpose of the reward is to
clean up the damage done to the<BR>community. If it is ignored it
could eventually grow like a cancer," he<BR>said.<BR><BR>Dani Bright, a
member of College Republicans, said she was very upset<BR>about the postcard
hoax.<BR><BR>"I just think it is sad that people have to debase themselves
to such a<BR>dirty level of politics to throw an election like that. I
feel horrible<BR>for Bouma and hope that Election Day goes well for him and
everyone,"<BR>Bright said.<BR><BR>"Whoever made these postcards did so with
malicious intent and that is<BR>pretty obvious, however I do think it's cool
that the community got<BR>together to help him out."<BR><BR>If no one has
been arrested by Dec. 1 the funds will be returned to the<BR>donors, however
if the county sheriff has any suspects, the funds will be<BR>put on hold for
an additional 30 days, said Hansen.<BR><BR>"It's not if they get caught, it
is when they get caught. I hope people<BR>in the future will learn to
not participate in such illegal activities,"<BR>Hansen
said.<BR><BR>---------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>This
morning an additional $500 will be deposited into the Postcard
Hoax<BR>Information Reward Fund on behalf of Debi Robinson-Smith and several
other<BR>local citizens, bringing the fund to a total of $3,900.<BR><BR>I
