Dave Erdman, how about a meeting w/ Bill Villa?

Readers, we've heard back from The Morning Call regarding our recent "outreach post" to Publisher/CEO Tim Ryan.

9:50 am today, Phone Call, Incoming, from Millie Perez, Tim Ryan's Executive Assistant in Allentown.

Millie told me Tim Ryan is asking that I take up my
"O'Hare Issue" w/ Morning Call Managing Editor Dave Erdman (pictured).

I told Millie that I'd be happy to, but that Mr. Erdman has (in the past)
refused to meet w/ me, and the newspaper's (now defunct) Editorial Board has refused me a "Welcome Mat" meeting
229 times to date.

Millie said she'll check w/ Dave Erdman regarding him meeting w/ me on
this-- and I emphasized to Millie that an in-person meeting w/ Dave Erdman would be my strong preference over a phone call from Erdman.

I added that I would accept a phone call (vs. an in-person meeting) from Tim Ryan, since Ryan is located in Baltimore.

Stay tuned to LVS, the #1 Most Influential Political Blog in Pennsylvania most weeks.

Subject Heading: Request for Phone Call

Hi Mr. Ryan, when you can (I know you have your hands full), I'd really appreciate a phone call from you.

It's about Bernie O'Hare, a Nazareth PA blogger who is a member of Valley Blogosphere at The Morning Call.

mcall.com frequently links its online stories to O'Hare's blog as another "news" source.

Mr. Ryan, O'Hare is barred from lawyering because he sabotaged his own client's civil rights litigation w/ evil intent.

It's all in the Morning Call archives.

Two decades later, in 2008, O'Hare publicly threatened at his blog that he would sabotage my daughter Sheena's wrongful death litigation.

Obviously, O'Hare has never been rehabilitated.

Astoundingly, The Morning Call still links to O'Hare's blogs.

We covered this recently in an "outreach post" to you at our blog.

Mr. Ryan, we respectfully request that The Morning Call sever all affiliations w/ O'Hare. Immediately.

Let's discuss it, please give me a call.

Thank you for your consideration.

Bill Villa (Sheena's Dad)

WORTH REPEATING DEPARTMENT

Mr. Ryan (and Erdman),
for your consideration ...

your Morning Call "political insider" blogger O'Hare is currently being sued ...

and your "master of ethical civility" blogger Michael Donovan is currently being probed by the Board of Ethics of the City of Allentown.

Angie Villa said...

WORTH REPEATING DEPARTMENT

Online publisher "Valley Blogosphere" exposes Michael Donovan's, Mike Molovinsky's, and Bernie O'Hare's sadistically cruel, false, and libelous anti-Villas attacks to the newspapers' self-touted “10 million monthly online visitors.”

Read it. I will talk to anyone who wants to legally interview me and report the facts. If they are breaking a law then have them arrested.

((Me))

Don, O'Hare's mistakes aren't "in the past."

At his "Troll Parade" blog in 2008, O'Hare publicly threatened to sabotage my daughter Sheena's wrongful death litigation-- the very thing he was disbarred for doing two decades ago, i.e., sabotaging his own African American client's civil rights litigation.

Obviously, O'Hare has never been rehabilitated.

And yes, I said wrongful death; my daughter Sheena was killed. And all the readers of our blog (where this email exchange will be published) will see how you blew right by that, in your self-absorbed rush of "trying to get elected."

Sadly, Don, you're a shameless publicity whore, and an O'Hare-Duped Dunce.

And because of this, we'll be doing everything we can to make sure you don't get elected.

Sincerely,

Bill Villa (Sheena's Dad)

You obviously do not know me, and I certainly do not know who you are or anything about you, other what you just sent. I am proud of a lifetime of being a caring, compassionate and kind person, and you will never change that. I never heard of O'Hare and never met him except for last weeks interview, which is history. Calling me inaccurate names does not accomplish anything, at least with reasonable people. I do not practice hate or support anyone who does. I cannot undo that interview. If it is not based on fact, then I would take action necessary within the law. I am certainly sorry about your problems and do not support anyone causing you or anyone else harm in any way. If you want to participate in an attack on me, I cannot stop you. But lets not copy the individual you hate with likewise treatment. I am not personal or a friend of anyone who interviews me.

((Me))

Don, if you give me your word that you will remove O'Hare from your Media List and will never grant him another interview of any kind, I pledge to you that I will not notify the thousands of people on my 137th District email list and ask that they not vote for you.

FYI, my daughter Sheena taught dance in Nazareth for 6 seasons and is still beloved in Nazareth, Palmer Township, Bangor, and all over the 137th.

Ask around.

I'll give you 24 hours to give me your word ...

Bill, I usually do not respond to threats or possible bribery attempts, and some friendly advice is be careful, however, I realize hardships can cloud one's good judgement at times. Remember when I am involved in an election campaign or holding public office I consult and act on my lawyers advice. I will state the facts that exist and nothing more: I am not affiliated in any way with Bernie O'Hare or anyother news type outlet. He sought me out for the interview and I know of no other. He is not on my media list. I am sorry for your hardship. Good luck, Don

Don, just so I'm reading you correctly here-- you're refusing to give me your word that you'll never grant O'Hare another interview, correct?
