Mary Souza: 3 Levels Of Intimidation

In her latest newsletter, Mary Souza claims she's the focus of a three-pronged attack against her candidacy, one involving the Coeur d'Alene Press, the city attorney's office and Scott and Mary Lou Reed. She claims she won't back down from those trying to torpedo her mayor candidacy, real and imagined. Of the Reed letter, which was published in today's thread on HucksOnline, she writes: "The third attempt at intimidation came in the form of a letter from local leaders of the Democrat party.  They sent it out to who-knows-how-many people in town, and it’s one of the worst, most divisive campaign letters I’ve ever seen.  It blasts the opposite party by name, many times, using all kinds a negative labels like extremists,' 'hard-core partisans,' and then it claims that 'partisan election tactics should not invade non-partisan elections'."
