Unity 08 Questions Persist, Showing Ethical Lapses

 

Unity08 claims to be a grassroots organization and a people's movement, but investigations show that lobbyists, political insiders, public relations professionals and millionaires are working on and paying for the secretive group. That's not grassroots.

Unity08 Chief Operating Officer Anya T. Harris says that Unity08 is working in coordination with organizations she calls "advocacy partners", but hasn't told anyone who those organizations are? Why won't Unity08 tell its members whch organizations it is working in coordination wth?

Unity08 members have begun to ask difficult ethical questions about what's actually going on over at Unity08. Unity08 will not answer the questions. One member of Unity08 points out, "Unity08 is destined to fail unless real and critical changes are made to the approach, the focus and the leadership of this process."

It's time to spread the word: It looks like Unity08 is just another ethically questionable operation run by Washington D.C. insiders and corporate elites.

Can Unity08 be trusted to keep your vote secure? 

Unity08 says it wants to run an online nominating election for a presidential and vice-presidential ticket for 2008. Yet, Unity08 has had some problems running its basic web site and keeping its online discussions secure. Also, there are ethical questions about the honesty and openness of the Unity08 leadership.

Why is Unity08 getting so much money from investment firms? 

They call themselves grassroots, but in reality they're supported by fat cats

It's a fact: 60 percent of donations to Unity08 in the 4th quarter of 2006 made by people with identified places of employment were made by people who work for financial investment companies, or for companies that in turn work for investment companies.

What are the chances of that happening randomly?

Something mighty suspicious is going on at Unity08. They call themselves a grassroots organization, but the truth is that most of their financial support comes from the rich and powerful.

I wouldn't trust any Unity08 candidate with my vote. Not until Unity08 comes clean about its connections with elite financial investors.

Unity08's listserve is now being used by Bloomberg operatives. They are contacting members by phone attempting to establish a "media opinion poll".

This was nothing more than a fraudlent scheme by Unity08 to obtain information to be used, a swindle!

While I do find your conspiracy theories amusing to read, I do have to say that they are entirely unfounded. It appears to me that someone of your ideology is either A) a lunatic who thinks little green men are behind unity08 B) a partisan hack, who'll stop at nothing to see a democrat in office?
