Dear Allentown City Council:

Can any of you explain to me why your Allentown City Council Vice President Michael Donovan (left) at his blog posts of March 14, and March 9, is hosting, enabling, and encouraging (he comments that he is "enjoying") 185 blog comments (and counting) that basically amount to criminal harassment of my family? The taunts and provocations and baitings continue in the comments from Donovan's post of March 18.

As some of you know, my only daughter Sheena Villa was killed by a drunk driver on her 25th birthday in March 2006.

Since then, I've been telling my family's grief story in the local blogosphere, and especially trying to inform--and warn--my fellow Allentonians and Lehigh County residents of the battles we had to wage to get justice in Lehigh County, when, as was painfully apparent, District Attorney Jim Martin and The Morning Call "newspaper" were working together for a very different outcome. Thankfully, we outmaneuvered them and won. But we want people to know how we did it, in case they have to.

Disbarred attorney/Nazareth hate blogger Bernie O'Hare has taken a peculiarly keen interest in trying to "counter," with jaw-dropping deceit, all the facts we present about DA Jim Martin and The Morning Call at our political blog, Lehigh Valley Somebody.

This has resulted in me filing suit against O'Hare in Lehigh County for Malicious Prosecution, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, and Libel.

For some reason, and for some time now, Michael Donovan has displayed a peculiarly strong and unwavering allegiance to Northampton County resident, and civil lawsuit defendant O'Hare.

Donovan's recent hosting and enabling of a cyber bullying gang-up on a grieving Allentown family is only Donovan's most recent outrageous behavior against the family of Sheena Villa.

We believe some consequences for Donovan's behavior (behavior that is highly unbecoming a City Council VP, and human being), is in order.

FYI: if Allentown City Council doesn't dole out some appropriate consequences, we will.

Please let me know what consequences you have in mind, by end of day today, thank you.

Best Regards,

Bill Villa

Editor's Note: O'Hare and Donovan are both members of Valley Blogosphere at The Morning Call "newspaper," which includes a group of bloggers who used to criticize The Morning Call, and DA Jim Martin, regularly, before Valley Blogosphere was ingeniously created by Glenn Kranzley. Since then, not only has 99% of all criticism against the "newspaper" and Jim Martin disappeared from our local blogosphere, loyal Morning Call-affiliated bloggers proactively punish any local bloggers who keep dissenting. Like yours truly. Two of the original Valley Blogosphere bloggers, attorney (for now) David Najarian, Lynn Township Supervisor, and local Democratic Party lackey/blogger Chris Casey bailed from Valley Blogosphere some months after being "honored" w/ selection, for reasons unknown, although Casey has a tragic-comedic-pathetic history of flip/flopping flightily on numerous issues, most notably his on again, off again (on again?) alliance(s) w/ O'Hare.

Recently, criminal courts in Northampton County and Lehigh County have both ruled swiftly and decisively against "Team O'Hare."

But Michael Donovan remains steadfast in his support of Team Casey/O'Hare.

The Hypocrisy of Rick Daugherty, Mike Donovan, and the O'Hare-Duped Dunce Dems

If you're among the thousands of Lehigh County voters who have been following the previous three posts here at LVS, you know that Team Rick Daugherty/Bernie O'Hare recently rejected my offer to help them beat crooked and (hiccup) incompetent Lehigh County DA Jim Martin in the 2011 election.

Because of the Lehigh County Democratic Party's shameful history of apathy, incompetence, and fear of Jim Martin, and its dismal failure to produce a challenger candidate, DA Jim Martin ran unopposed in both the 2007, and the 2003, "elections." And w/ the local Dems obviously not serious about finding a candidate to oppose Martin in 2011, it's looking like an unopposed 3-peat cruise-in-progress for "Jumbo Jimbo" (left), pictured w/ O'Hare-Duped Dunce Dem and Lehigh County Executive (for now) Don Cunning-Ham.

Curiously, the reason given by the local Dems for their ostracizing and muzzling of me is because I "bash Democrats" (e.g., Mike Donovan, pictured above) at this blog ... which I've tried to explain ... to deaf (and dumb) ears. And of course we don't see it as "bashing." Like most people w/ a brain (and a conscience) we see it as a civic-minded "calling out" of those O'Hare-Duped Dunce Democrats who enable and legitimize a "man" (wink wink) who takes great pleasure in emotionally cyber-torturing already suffering, grief-stricken families. And O'Hare hails and spews lies from Northampton County it should be noted, not Lehigh County.

Although The Morning Call "newspaper" has (in the past) briefly glossed over O'Hare's history of sadistic emotional torture, these days the "newspaper" features and favors O'Hare (and Donovan) as part of its "Valley Blogosphere" cooperative of local bloggers, ensuring a closed loop of crony cozy coverage for select shameless local politico publicity whores of both parties.

The three Lehigh County Dems most guilty of the social conscience transgressions of granting O'Hare interviews, access, and public interaction are Allentown City Council members (for now) Mike Donovan and Mike Schlossberg and Lehigh County Executive (just barely) Don Cunning-Ham. We'll continue calling out these O'Hare-Duped Dunce Dems here at LVS.

And get this, on the subject of "bashing" (and this is the hypocrisy part), apparently it's perfectly A-OK by the local Dems for their Allentown City Council Vice President (for now) Mike Donovan to bash me, at his blog. Yep. This is not a problem.

As was pointed out by an LVS commenter this week ...

And this isn't the first time Mike Donovan has enabled and encouraged a free-for-all bashing of the Villas, check out Donovan's post (and all the comments) entitled, "A Statement."

Readers, as you can see at Donovan's blog, and as I have pointed out to Councilor Donovan in three unrequited emails so far (the last one cc'd to Team Daugherty/O'Hare), there's an anonymous commenter at Donovan's blog attempting to engage Councilor Donovan. This commenter has an excellent question that deserves to be answered by Councilor Donovan.

Update: Allentown City Council VP (for now) Michael Donovan hosts, enables, and encourages an all new, 100-comment, libel-loaded Team O'Hare cyber bullying gang-up against The Villas. Sadly, it was yet another losing effort.

My Take...

The combination of Rick Daugherty Chairing the party and O'Hare doing the "public relations" resulted in Lehigh County's (formerly) most popular Democrat [Don Cunning-Ham] just barely avoiding the unemployment line last November. Breathtaking was this, in its stupifying display of incompetence. Heck, there's no telling what Team Daugherty/O'Hare is capable of accomplishing together in the future.

It would be incredibly short-sighted and counter-productive for the local Democratic party to exclude me from the process of attempting to defeat Jim Martin.

I have every right to publicly criticize Michael Donovan, Mike Schlossberg, and Don Cunningham for allying with a Northampton County hate blogger who is cyber bullying a grief-stricken Lehigh County family ... mine. So please try to get over this, and stop holding my rights of free speech against me; that's a very unbecoming thing for Democrats to be doing.

And frankly, you need me ... if you're seriously entertaining the daunting task of de-throning power-entrenched Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin.

I'm expecting you to change your mind(s) about your refusal to meet with me.

And I'm expecting you to stop keeping me waiting on this ... as you've insulted me enough already.

Patiently (for now) awaiting your expeditious reply.
