Political columnist Bob Roegner’s Aug. 17 column that mentioned my campaign for council was outrageous. Except for some brief questions and answers after the candidates’ forum in July, that were solely about the mayor’s outburst, Mr. Roegner has never interviewed me one-to-one and therefore his assumptions about me are based on nothing but guesswork.

The one falsehood that really caught my attention was that I campaigned little, which is 180 degrees opposite of the truth. I can’t even begin to fathom that falsehood, but thousands of Federal Way citizens know otherwise.

Another big falsehood was that I have nothing to do with community affairs. How would he know that? Did he check with the Puget Sound Blood Center to find out that I donate blood on a regular basis? Did he not read the voters’ pamphlet about my organizational work in helping citizens with election, legal and governmental matters?

There are scores of Federal Way citizens, perhaps hundreds, who are presently registered to vote because of my organization, “Democracy In Election Process.” Just because someone is not with a big name organization doesn’t mean they’re not involved with community affairs. Roegner should work with facts that he knows are true, not guesswork, speculation and his never-ceasing rumors from unnamed sources.
