I'm sorry too to ask you read my email again, as stating the level of engagement is necessary for me to show how the sender are interested and participated in the community and who she has the needed knowledge about the individuals who are deserve to be elected.
Stating the committees she is involved in will never has o be misunderstood as what you claim (But some people may need to read/think carefully before making any assumptions).</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="">Sorry Sami,</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="">But I fundamentally disagree with you. When you use your position on community based bodies that are meant to maintain a position of neutrality to lobby in this manner – and state that it is “part of
<b><i><u>our</u></i></b> strategy” – without specifying who – it implies that the strategy is that of one of the organizations that you signed for.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="">My problem with this email is NOT that lobbying was done – that is part and parcel of how elections (which are by nature political) occur – my problem is the implications of the representations made in this
email – not just in the signature either – and the reference to “our strategy” – which could be read to imply a wider group with a specific strategy that is involved in an attempt at organizational capture (though I will not go so far as to say that this last
implication is actually accurate)</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="">If you lobby for a candidate – you either do so on your own behalf – or you do it at the behest of your employer or another group – and when the email is signed in the way that it is and prefixed the way that
it is – it very definitely carries implications – and hence me asking if this is actually the position of those bodies – I want clarification from THEM as to their position vis-a-vie this email – and it is a fair question to ask – particularly when one of
those bodies has to be in a position of total neutrality because they deal with appeals.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="">Thanks</span></p>
