recruiting dead people : the original Los Angeles Timesrecruiting dead people : the original Los Angeles TimesPosted Sep 23, 2005 23:26 UTC (Fri) by NZheretic (guest, #409)In reply to: recruiting dead people by pjm Parent article: The return of Citizens Against Government Waste Read the original Los Angeles Times Article The Microsoft campaign goes to great lengths to create an impression that the letters are spontaneous expressions from ordinary people. Letters sent in the last month are on personalized stationery using different wording, color and typefaces, details that distinguish Microsoft's efforts from lobbying tactics that go on in politics every day. To quote Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch : "It's sleazy, This is not a company that appears to be bothered by ethical boundaries."

recruiting dead people : the original Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 24, 2005 13:12 UTC (Sat) by pjm (subscriber, #2080) [Link] Clarification: the block that NZheretic quotes refers to the letters written by Americans for Technology Leadership (ATL), whereas the letters of Citizens Against Government Waste (the group under discussion here) were identical except for the signature. Neither article claims that Citizens Against Government Waste were aware of or responsible for ATLs (reprehensible) letters. We can say that CAGW and ATL are each funded in part by Microsoft.
