New CRNC's Ethan Eilon responds to Westbrook -- Says comments "reckless and false" (Monday, June 25, 2007)

Jessica-

It is unfortunate that we could not avoid these needless attacks for this campaign's duration. Your comments over the weekend were reckless and false and your political grandstanding is not appreciated. Neither Kristy Cottrell nor any member of the New CRNC team contacted any Mississippi College Republican other than yourself in regard to the Southern Caucus elections. Additionally, Kristy Cottrell has not at any point been in possession of the contact information for your delegates. Therefore, your referenced "clear coordination that should not exist" does not exist.

As you know, Richard Walter of Ole Miss did call me inquiring about National College Republicans, and I provided him with nothing more then the basic facts of the election process and did not mention either of the Southern Caucus candidates; a fact which I am sure he would verify. To refresh your memory, I have included the email in which you authorized precisely that type of communication, so that there can be no further confusion.

I respectfully ask that you retract your recent comments and issue Kristy and the New CRNC team an apology. Short of that, at least do national board members the courtesy of not crowding their inboxes with senseless and untrue attacks.


Thank you.

Ethan Eilon
