I am not a murderous racist that would harm immigrants or minorities in any way as Mary Schulken has depicted me in the Charlotte Observer on June 5, 2008.

I hope that the readers of the Charlotte Observer never have to learn what it feels like to wake up to the phone ringing because friends and family members from Western NC are calling to inform them that Mary Schulken just used her position as an Editor of the paper to compare them with a fictional Hollywood character that called people "******s" and enjoyed assaulting or murdering immigrants.

It is my firm opinion that Mary Schulken still bears malice towards me because the last time we met in political battle the results were the removal from office of many of her extremely liberal friends on the Greenville City Council. Furthermore, she knows that I'm no "Bill the Butcher" from Gangs of New York and that I used to work to elect some of the first minorities and women to office in certain parts of this state.

What a shame it is that the Charlotte Observer is allowing Schulken to abuse her position, in order to pursue her personal vendetta and radical pro-illegal alien agenda, by attempting to mislead readers about who I am, and what I stand for.

While she misleads readers and ignores the fact that I, and my organization ALIPAC, fervently work with Black and Hispanic Americans, as well as legal immigrants and the fact that I share nothing in common with the fictional racist and murderous "Bill The Butcher".

I hope that the Black and Hispanic supporters of ALIPAC, as well as our legal immigrants will come to my defense against this terrible injustice, perpetrated by Mary Schulken and the Charlotte Observer.

Not only is Schulken lying to readers, but she is defaming my character to such a degree that a reader that did not know better might feel that I would want to physically harm someone because of their race, thus creating a Clear and Present danger for me and my family as candidates for assault and possibly lethal violence.

The Charlotte Observer should take immediate action to correct this situation and issue a retraction and apology, and tell readers the truth about me. Mary Schulken should be terminated from her position for intentionally lying to your readers, abusing her position, and defaming my character to a degree that puts me at risk of physical harm.
