Chris,I took the information you gave me regarding usage of County Party assets (e.g. newsletters, phone banks) for federal candidates to my County Central Committee and asked for direction as to accepting ads from campaigns or individuals. I explained the information you had provided. Steve VanDenover, Mason County Chair, asked me to check with other counties as to how they are handling national candidates, such as Nethercutt, Bush and Congressional Candidates.

I called a few counties and discussed this issue in detail with the State Committeewoman and Editor of the Skagit County Republican newsletter, Ann Marie Humphreys. She was unaware of the prohibiitions that you had outlined to me for newsletters. IN fact she had an ad for George Bush in her latest Newsletter. I told her what you had explained to me about newsletter prohibitions.May I request that you or someone on your staff send directions regarding what Counties can and cannot do as it pertains to newsletters and phone banks usage for federal candidates.

There is a great deal of ignorance out here and many counties are violating the campaign law as I understood it from you. God help us if the Democrats find out.

I think we all need direction. Can you help us?

Thanks, Chris
