You have all put your names and reputations on Build Lakewood's propaganda so you are all responsible for the lives that may be lost as a result of the misinformation and outright lies contained in postcard (below) you sent to Lakewood residents as well as any future BL mailings.
People have already died at the hands of bad actors in league with you. If your propaganda is successful, it is a certainty that more lives will be lost as a result of your actions. Your individual inaction at this point will not relieve your responsibility for the lives affected.
Ignorance is not a defense. You each have a duty to your fellow citizens to understand and face the facts.
Make no mistake about it, BL mailings are being planned and orchestrated by Mayor Summers, CCF and LHA Trustees behind the scenes.
Below is an article concerning 2010 conduct by CCF that may give rise to criminal charges.

The current ongoing efforts and campaign you are involved in with CCF has the same implications I wrote about in the article below.
For example, Rebecca Patton and others of you were present at the forum held on September 21st and heard the evidence presented by Dennis Kucinich. That evidence was contained in a legal motion to force LHA to produce withheld evidence. Ms. Patton had an opportunity to speak to that evidence and her role as an LHA trustee in resisting discovery of the further evidence. Instead, she took that opportunity to say that she did not believe that people of Lakewood were educated or informed enough to be trusted to vote on the hospital matter. She also said she did not like how people voted. Ms. Patton is campaigning against the right of the people for vote on the issue while she simultaneously collude with other LHA trustees to withhold information from the voters and City Council. To make matters worse she participates in a campaign of misinformation designed to misinform and manipulate the public---all the while touting her perceived status and superiority due to her credentials that are not relevant to the issues at hand. Perhaps most remarkable is her own ignorance of her legal duties as an LHA Trustee--namely to run a hospital for the people of Lakewood. A nurse is supposed to provide care for people. So in a very real sense Ms. Patton is ignorantly or intentionally violating legal duties by even being a part of BL in support of the destruction of the hospital.
Ditto for Mr. Bullock who participated in an orchestrated propaganda effort with several of you on September 21.
I am writing this open letter to put every one of you on notice as to the seriousness of your involvement and support of Build Lakewood.
Despite their denials, there are those among you who have much to gain personally in the upcoming election, the closing of the hospital and the proposed foundation.
Any future mailings by Build Lakewood containing misinformation and false and misleading information may visit serious personal consequences on each of you.
If you are successful and later find out the truth of what I and others have been saying and writing about, unfortunately it will be too late.
If you are successful, the blood of your victims can never be washed from your hands.
