And yet both endorsed School Vouchers, their Overstock was welcome to pay millions to get the AG’s, behind closed doors, agenda.

Why does this behavior of Mark Shurtleff not surprise me? Mr. Shurtleff was instrumental in weakening Utah’s Pyramid Scheme Act by testifying in favor of a bill modifying the act in 2006. He said SB182 protected against the “really bad” pyramid schemes – those without products (Wrong. Research clearly shows that product-based schemes are the most harmful by any measure). What he did not disclose was that his lead contributors were MLM companies and that he his campaign had received $50,000 from PrePaid Legal, which has been convicted of being a pyramid scheme in at least one legal action. Money (ala political contributions) corrupts.

Hey I wonder if Overstock got the letter via a comment left on ASM. No? That’s the blog I would love to see his comment on.

“However, I will not allow anyone to improperly use me or my office to bolster their side of a private matter.”

Except, of course, if it is contained in an Overstock press release. Did he type that with a straight face?
