From Ms. Clark, reference Mr. Trueblood!

It has recently come to my attention that what I say and how I say it and when I say it has become increasingly troublesome to Tim Trueblood. I say troublesome because I keep hearing things he is saying about what I've said or done. I hope I can clarify some of these issues to everyone's satisfaction.

Let us begin with: In March of 2005 Don and Faye Clark invited a group of people into their home and formed a group of citizens who were very concerned about the mishandling of public funds. TRUE

Mr. Patrick (Jim) Murphy was asked to be the advisor of this group because of his extensive and successful political experience. TRUE

When it became apparent the aldermen had no intention of dropping the building of the new police facility (although it had become public knowledge we did not have the money for it) we formed a petition to stop the leasing of Westfield for our police department until the new structure was done. TRUE

More than 1,000 signatures was received over what was needed. Had our aldermen done the right thing all this would not have been necessary. TRUE

There are indeed two Jim Murphys. One is Patrick (Jim) Murphy our Missouri State Representative and his son James William Murphy (Jim). TRUE

In December of 2005 one of the original members of the group filed for alderman. TRUE

In January 2006 a petition is taken out to prevent the Charter Commission from ending term limits. The people of Crestwood do indeed want term limits. TRUE

Those who supported or did not support Prop S did so with no connection to CCFFR. Each individual voted his/her conscience. TRUE

A complaint lodged again the group CCFFR is dismissed by the Missouri Ethics Commission because as I explained in an email to Mr. Trueblood, the Clarks visited the Election Board and were told that for what our intentions were, we DID NOT need to register the groups name. TRUE

on March 3rd, it was said that Mr. Patrick James Murphy of 9314 Cordova Lane, Crestwood, Mo 63126 phone no. 314-849-5932 files witht the Secretary of State by a fictitous name. Patrick James Murphy is the name on the birth certificate, a fictitous name? FALSE

Mailing address is not a business address. Any part of one's name is not a fictitous name. TRUE

The language of the ballot in August of 2002 was so confusing, most of Crestwood's citizens said they did not know what they voted for. I am included in the large group and most of us deeply resent having those who represent us make ballot language so difficult and misleading. TRUE

In an email from me to Tim Trueblood, I advised him to go to the Election Board and find out for himself the exact status of the CCFFR. We were there two weeks ago and saw that Mr. Trueblood had done as I advised as his signature was on the paperwork required to look at any document. TRUE

So many questions asking questions that have already been completely and honestly answered. It would make me wonder what this is trying to prove. No one could prove a group of honest concerned citizens are doing anything deceitful or hidden but rather are achieving quite a lot of good for Crestwood.

Trying to smear a well formed and very successful group of fellow citizen who were forced to take action because those they put in office failed to do what was necessary will never help further your political ambitions.

We can continue to play 20+ questions from now on. I do not have to justify that I didn't understand a very poorly worded ballot.

As for my own personal feelings, I tried very hard to give our alderman some credit for his efforts but feel I made a mistake. Two years ago people were begging for an alderman to be recalled and we said give him another chance. Perhaps we made a mistake. TRUE

Ada (Faye) Clark is this a fictitous name?

ps Mr. Frank Myers we should respect him enough to spell his name correctly

CCFFR (not CCFR) CCFR would be a fictitous name.
