RE: “Bush Whacker,” Letters 2/11: Thanks to Kevin Russell for suggesting that we Google the Columbus Free Press and Michael Connell for more information on “stolen elections.” I took his advice, and now I have a better idea of just how far some people will go to make sure they have the election results that they want, even if those results go against what the majority of Americans want.
I’ve been following politics for 62 years now, and when I see that Carl Rove and Dick Cheney were involved in this, I’m inclined to think this story has merit. If you’re interested in creating a system that works better for all of us, it’s helpful to first understand what didn’t work so well for all of us.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
