***CONTACT AK LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO DEMAND RELEASE OF BRANCHFLOWER REPORT***

[beac]

The report is due in approximately 45 minutes.

You can cut and paste the LC's email addresses:

<[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>, <[e-mail]>

Feel free to copy the text of my email too:

I am writing to ask that you vote "YES" to accept the Branchflower report and to make it immediately available to the public.
Sarah Palin herself said transparency in government is important and the American public has a right to know the truth about the woman who might become our President one day.


Or write your own.


I'm sure they are getting enormous pressure not to release it from the McCain campaign. Let's push back!

"Mr. Ozma:



Sen. Green asked that I contact you and let you know she fully supports the release of the Branchflower report. She will be voting in favor to do so today at the Legislative Council meeting. Thank you for writing our office and please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

27. +1 REPUBLICAN says YES to release! Woohoo! That means we just need 2 more to make a majority

since i assume the 5 democrats on the board are going to vote YES too...

To reiterate: Senator Green is a Republican (and you've just confirmed she said YES) and there are 9 repubs on the board...you need 8 to vote YES to release

26. Here is the Anchorage Daily News story on the pending release

http://www.adn.com/troopergate/story/551531.html

Comments are great, as usual.

If for some reason they decide NOT to release the report, I'm sure we'll be back out on the street with our signs. :)

30. Notice Branchflower produced two reports one for public and one private with confidential info.

"Branchflower also produced a separate volume, roughly twice as large as his report, that's expected to remain confidential because it contains exhibits with personnel information that cannot legally be released, according to legislative council staff."

========

He definitely was planning ahead for a public release today. Good sign.

[quantass]

31. He certainly was...Excellent!
