		<description>Don&#039;t you think that the donations Mr Wieichman took from the Fire Union qualifies as a &#039;Special Interest&#039; group? I guess he is therefore beholden to them now?</description>

		<description>I will be the first to offer criticism to my letter:

After all the years of technical writing of engineering and research papers, I always stood by a good rule of always defining ambiguous terms.  I failed to do so here and for that I am sorry.

When I say &quot;Questionable source&quot; or similar, this is not an automatic indication of evil lurking, rather, it encompasses all donations that I think all of you should see for yourself because they will indicate opinions and ideology among the candidates.

I also wanted to point out that Questionable sources did not include past and present politicians or activists, nor did I include local Lakewood Business owners.  

Lastly, I do question the allowing of unlimited contributions to candidates, but this article serves to inform the public, not push my opinions about campaign contribution limits.</description>
