Note: I mistakenly said Monday (tomorrow) was January 30, versus January 31 in earlier email.

Sunday, January 30, 2005

Subject: Invitation to join me at a dinner meeting (no-host) and videotaping session re: my recall of King County Councilmember Dow Constantine (over Critical Areas Ordinance misdeeds, and other acts) this coming Monday, January 31 (for delayed broadcast Thursday, February 3) at the College Club in downtown Seattle.

To: all those who have been following the Critical Areas Ordinance and Dow Constantine's role in it and the acts he committed that meet the threshold test to recall him, not to mention my nearly 8 year plus long saga and Public Disclosure Act, or Open Records Act, litigation against Ron Sims over sports stadium studies and related records: (And please forward at will...)

Item: Invitation to videotaping session following dinner meeting this Monday evening, January 31, 2005, in downtown Seattle, which any of you can attend and participate in. 

Some of you know that the Downtown Seattle Republican Club holds weekly dinner meetings every Monday with a featured guest on some topic of current public interest.  As part of the program, following dinner and usually lively conversation with that person, the featured guest is interviewed, on-camera, for a half-hour cable television program called "Republican Perspective" that airs later in the week (currently on Thursdays, 5 to 5:30 PM). 

Rod McFarland, speaking on the subject of the CAO, has been the featured guest on this same program many times in the past year.  In fact, that's how I first met Rod, Laurel, and others who were active in this matter and in CAPR long before I was even aware of what was going on.

I invite you to join me this coming Monday, January 31, when I will be the featured guest, marking my 7th television appearance on the program over the past three years.

I will discuss my recently launched (January 14 filing) recall of Dow Constantine, who was chair of the King County Council's "Growth Management and Unincorporated Areas Committee" that passed the Critical Areas Ordinance.  Constantine was clearly one of the facilitators and enablers of Ron Sims and his hidden agendas which lie behind the extreme measure that the CAO represents.  It's "deja vu all over again" after my experience with suing Ron Sims for Public Disclosure Act violations over sports stadium documents.

The dinner meeting, followed by the videotaping of the interview, is from 5 to 7 PM at the College Club at the SE corner of 5th Avenue and Madison Street in downtown Seattle (diagonally opposite, and SE of, the new downtown Seattle Public Library).  Anyone can attend.  

The dinner menu is very reasonably priced, and even with a modest room charge for the private room we always have and tax and automatic gratuity the total probably won't exceed $12 to $16 plus any beverage you order.  And, parking is FREE in the club's garage after 4:30 PM (garage entrance on 5th Avenue, approximately 75' south of Madison, park in any marked or unmarked spot except the chef's).  

The 28 minute taping of me will be aired on Channel 77 (the "SCAN", or Seattle Community Access Network channel) the following Thursday, February 3, at 5 to 5:30 PM.  

If you are unable to attend, and have cable television, perhaps you can catch the later airing.  

If you are going to attend, let me know by email so that we can give the club an idea of attendance so they can set places accordingly, etc.  (By the way, and since people ask me, casual attire is fine.  I only wear a coat and tie when I'm the interviewee.  And you don't need to be a college graduate to attend events there, despite the name of the club and the perception some folks have.  While it's a private club, it's actually pretty casual.)

Finally, if any of you belong to, or know of, a group who would be interested in my speaking to them about my recall of Dow Constantine, the Critical Areas Ordinance, or my long running experiences with the Public Disclosure Act, the litigation against Ron Sims, the revelations about the "rigged" sports stadium studies and who actually specified and paid most of the cost of one of them (answer: Paul Allen), I would be happy to be invited to do so.

Finally, for more detailed directions and parking information, see the link below.  It's at the website of my friend, Stefan Sharkansky (the "shark" in the "sharkblog") and who is a nationally read "blogger" (see: www.SoundPolitics.com ) .   Stefan is also a sometimes host of the Republican Perspective program I'll be on tomorrow night, and a frequent co-host of the Republican Radio program (Saturdays, 11 AM to 1 PM, see www.RepublicanRadio.com ) and which I was on re: the Constantine recall this past Saturday (their website should have the archived audio of the program available now).
