Benker SPAMS Prospect


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.
