Dear Colleagues:
>
> Many of you were recently sent an email forwarding you to a website called
therecordstraight.com. If you were, you'll remember that the website
depicted candidates running for APFA National Office and those that support
them with anti-Semitic slurs and derogatory remarks referencing sexual
preference-the words pasted onto or next to the persons' photograph and
name. And as if to add insult to injury, the site then taunted those
featured on it to try and figure out just who the anonymous perpetrator was.
>
> Talk about dumb and dumber. This anonymous artisan forgot that the
Internet is nothing more than numbers, numbers that are easily traceable.
Here are some startling coincidences that I've recently uncovered.
>
> Both www.therecordstraight.com and www.reelectward.org have the same IP
Address, DNS Number and Registrant. Simply put, these two websites are
hosted on the same server and are owned by the same person. They are
unmistakable tied to one another with a unique number (207.44.210.8).
>
> Similarly, this website also shares the same IP Address and Registrant,
www.josebatalla.com. This website boasts having done work for both American
Airlines and APFA. Coincidently, this name also appears in the Flight
Service Web Roster as well as on Ted Bedwell's "Willingness To Serve"
notice. You may remember Mr. Bedwell from the Ward slate and the APFA
Executive Committee.
>
> I do believe that I've solved the mystery surrounding
therecordstraight.com. I do not know who put the site up or took it down,
nor do I know how they obtained the photographs. But we are going to find
out I'm sure. Nobody wants to be left holding this bag of disaster alone.
NOBODY.
>
> Another example of why we need new union leadership. APFA simply can't
afford another lawsuit. The days of musical chairs at APFA must end. If you
want your union back, truly back, don't elect retreads.
>
> Let's try something different for a change.

> In unity,
