Ward Connerly
From “Connerly to Lead GOP Fund-Raising” (June 25), one would presume Ward Connerly to be a radical extremist. It is obviously of benefit for the Democrats quoted to present him in that light. But when supposed knowledgeable, unbiased, nonpartisan sources like Sherry Bebitch Jeffe are quoted in a manner which gives that impression, it must not go unchallenged.
Connerly is a great friend of Log Cabin Republicans. He has championed many of our causes, including domestic partnership benefits for UC system employees. These are hardly the acts of the extremist Jeffe insinuates him to be. His appointment is likely to bring more minorities to the GOP, especially gays and lesbians.
