Seems Longmont City Councilmember
Karen Benker sent out some SPAM emails to her neighbors in the Prospect neighborhood. Here it is below with some additional made-up lines thrown in (
in italics) to make it more interesting. Enjoy.

Hi everyone,
Yes, it's that time of year again...football, falling leaves in Prospect, and elections. (
But Sunshine Law violations and misleading about "accomplishments" is a year round activity that keeps me quite busy)
Gotten any strange calls lately? (UFO's got you down? People stalking around your home or place of business?)
As you know, I am (
unfortunately) running for reelection to City Council and am facing a very negative campaign from folks that are (
spreading the truth about me, and) refusing to file campaign expenditure reports and are hiding behind a Montana non-profit called Western Tradition Partnership (
well, actually I'm not being totally truthful. WTP has made contributions to Longmont Leadership Committee, who are filing campaign expenditure reports) Seems weird (
like,
totally weird) that out-of-state and out-of-city folks (
darn city folk) are involved in a Longmont campaign. (
Sort of like how the Democratic Party has funded my campaigns in the past)
Please do not believe these lies and distortions of my record (
as they are pretty much 100% true). If you want more info, go to my website (www.KarenBenker.com) or, better yet, please give me a call at 303.774.7745.(
And don't forget to ask me about Clover Basin, Secret Executive Sessions, and Open Records violations - three of my favorite subjects, along with pushing churches out of town, harrasing their members, and suing neighboring cities)
I ask you for your vote (
but if you're smart, you'll mail it in
after Election Day, or just vote for my opponent Katie Witt). Many thanks.
Hope to see you at the chili cook off.
