Never stiff your campaign consultant |

IMPORTANT POLITICAL LESSON FOR ALL CANDIDATES: BE SURE TO PAY YOUR
CONSULTANT!
Congressman John Sullivan (R-OK) is learning what can happen when a
candidate has a bitter falling out with a campaign consultant --
especially when that consultant knows a lot more about you than you'd
ever want the public to know.
GOP communications consultant Dave Pearson claims that Sullivan never
paid him the money he was owed for work on Sullivan's successful
primary upset victory in the 2002 special election.
"I plead guilty to being a disgruntled former consultant. I think you
would be disgruntled too if he refused to pay you nearly $20,000 ...
Since I helped elect a dishonest crook and liar, I feel like I must
repent for my sins," wrote Pearson in a press release this week.
Pearson was so upset that Sullivan has failed to resolve the dispute
-- even after Pearson filed an FEC complaint against Sullivan last
year -- that he sent a letter to all of Sullivan's campaign
contributors.
In the letter, Pearson wrote that "Sullivan is the most dishonest,
disingenuous and crooked politician I have ever known ...
He is a liar because he repeatedly lied to me and others about his
business background, his arrest records and many other things.
He is a liar because he and his treasurer knowingly filed false
financial reports in order to defraud the voters as to his debt ...
My only goal at this point is to let as many people as possible know
what I know ... that Mr. Sullivan is dishonest, a crook and a liar.
I hope you will take this letter into consideration when you receive
his next letter begging for more money."
No response yet from Sullivan.
Then, again, silence may be the best response.
