Who Got The R-71 Names?

In a quick move---record setting time for government, Secretary of State Sam Reed's office got the R-71 names out the door to nearly all who had asked for them. They began minutes after Judge Settle's ruling and before our attorneys could get our appeal filed with the 9th Court.

They got CD disks into nearly all the hands who where waiting for them---for whatever purpose, during the time between the judge's ruling and the 9th Court accepting our appeal.

The Secretary's blog reported that 30 discs had been sent out, while the Seattle PI reported that 34 had been sent.

The head of Public Records, Brenda Galarza, told me she released 33 sets of names.

The 9th Court accepted our appeal and the names are once again sealed, however, all but 2 individuals who requested them, have received them.

I was struck by the hostility shown by Attorney General Rob McKenna's office toward those of us who were deposed in this case. I was not prepared for the hostility I and others met in Attorney General McKenna's office. Consequently, I was not as surprised at how he and Secretary Sam got the names out in record time, even though they knew the request for an appeal was being presented at the moment they were delivering the names.

The Seattle PI says Reed and McKenna have voiced confidence they will prevail in the appeal.

In a sense, they already have prevailed. They have released the names to press people who have requested them, but more importantly and concerning to me, they have released them to homosexual organizations and homosexual activists who have promised to "contact" and "have a conversation" with those who signed in defense of natural, biblical, historical marriage.

So, who received the names?

I have posted my complete communication with Secretary Reed's office of Public Records. You will note that most all those requesting and receiving the names did so under an individuals name. Some are reporters with the Seattle Times and other newspapers---some represent their activist organizations. I received the following email from Brenda Galarza at the Public Records office:

Subject: R-71 Requests- Archives

On a request from Elections, we created a list of names based from our Revenue rporting and need to strike two names from our earlier list (Dashiell and McLaughlin)- these individuals called about the list but ultimately did not purchase a DVD.
Sorry for the confusion. Please let me know if you have any questions.
