		<description><![CDATA[The election process on Dec. 3 is an irrevocable scar on the exemplary history of the Gertrude Stein Democratic Club. Even though the newly elected officers may harbor the best of intentions and provide youth, enthusiasm and talent to the organization, their introduction to the Club outweighs any benefit that they might contribute. Ethics isn’t a mere word. It is a way of life.
**********
Thanks. You&#039;ve persuaded a lot of us, I&#039;m sure, Jeri.

We have LGBT people being murdered and suffering horrific injuries due to increasing anti-LGBT hate crimes violence. Mayor Gray and Jeff Richardson have done nothing but aid and abet a failed MPD Chief with her annual hate crimes increases-- while publicly professing otherwise. Does anyone trust Sterling Washington to be anything but a Richardson-like yes-man for Gray&#039;s Chief of Police, too?

Gray&#039;s 2010 campaign funding was apparently conducted in a sleazy, unethical manner, as well. Could it be that Boss Tweed Gray (and his LGBT lapdogs) are using sleazy, unethical tactics to turn Stein into their own private Tammany Hall club?

How cynical can they get? And just how much more contemptuous of DC LGBT Democratic voters will they become if LGBT voters-- Dems and Independents alike-- don&#039;t rise up and say, ENOUGH?

I think DC&#039;s burgeoning new arrivals of younger LGBT voters will see through Gray&#039;s cynical attempt to wrap himself in his hand-picked, no-named slate of &quot;See!-We&#039;re-for-the-young-too.&quot; political hacks. 

Let&#039;s hope they join Stein and warn Gray&#039;s would-be Tammany Hall machine to make DC&#039;s streets safe for LGBTs-- or ELSE prepare to be fired by LGBT voters who care about their own public safety.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Agreed. It&#039;s common knowledge in the community that Jeffrey Richardson in the Mayor&#039;s LGBT Office orchestrated the takeover and put the newcomers up to this.  He even had Greg Cendana of DC DNC Caucus fame manage their campaign.  Richardson and Cendana are noticeably silent now that the controversy has blown up and the good folks on both slates are the ones in the fire.  The question is was Richardson acting on his own or on orders from Mayor Gray?]]></description>
