Lori Oien Demonstrating the Creativity and New Ideas That We Need On the City Council

Rodney Glassman’s campaign sent out an e-mail to his supporters on January 4th. It was a typical fundraising e-mail with some biographical details plus a “why Rodney will win” bit. Then, it ended with:

Please print the attached contribution form that you also need to complete and mail to me. If you have a spouse, partner or friends that you feel might also participate please share this email with anyone you would like (please forward this email with your own special note and get involved in this campaign). You may also visit our campaign website at www.rodneyglassman.com (which should be launched by the end of the week).

Rodney will not let us down and so I hope you will consider joining me in helping him win election! We are trying to raise money as quickly as possible so please send your contribution today! Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

Lori Oien’s campaign sent out an e-mail to her supporters on January 16th. It was a typical fundraising e-mail with some biographical details plus a “why Lori will win” bit. Then, it ended with:

Please print the attached contribution form, complete it and mail it with your check. If you know of anyone else, that would like to participate in this election, please forward this e-mail to them, with a word of encouragement for Lori’s Campaign. You may also visit her campaign website at www.lorioiencitycouncil07.com, (which should be launched soon).

Lori has always been, “A Can Do Person,” so I hope you will consider joining me in helping her with the Ward 2 seat! We are trying to raise funds quickly so please mail your contribution today.

Not the worst case of plagiarism ever, I’ll admit. Think about this for a second though: Glassman’s e-mail was blasted to his friends that he’s gotten through his charitable work, which means a lot of big name Republicans. So, these guys got an e-mail from Glassman, then a similar looking e-mail from Oien a week or so later. You can bet that more than a few of them would have noticed that.
