GOP Rep Leaves Threatening Messages On Couple's Home Phone After Letter To Local Paper

The following is a text of two voice messages that Rep. Doug Lamborn left on the home telephone of Jonathan and Anna Bartha.

FIRST MESSAGE: "Hello, this is Doug Lamborn calling for either Jonathan or Anna. Something very serious has happened. There was a letter to the editor that you both put in your names to the editor of the Woodmen Edition and there is something that is blatantly false in that letter.

"I would like to get together with you and show this to you and appeal to you as a brother and sister in Christ. You didn't give me that opportunity but I am happy to overlook that and deal with you on that level because I think that is the right thing to do and show you where you made a blatant, wrong statement.

"Now there are consequences to this kind of thing, but I would like to work with you in a way that is best for everyone here concerned. So please call me at your earliest convenience".

The Woodman Edition, a weekly newspaper that covers northern Colorado Springs, published a letter to the editor from well-known Republican activists Jonathan and Anna Bartha. In the letter, the Barthas criticized Lamborn for accepting contributions from gambling interests, as well as his
recent vote, ---> against stiffening the penalties for dogfighting.”

The modern republican party is just so cool.

to figure out what those consequences may be. Also, the call would be recorded for customer service reasons or some such bullshit and sent out to everyone I know as soon as I told that repuke prick to shove his brother and sister in Christ garbage right up his ass.
