The  person who has actually made such preposterous accusations is William 
X Walsh.
What is the purpose of repeating them?
Are you supporting the idea that those who sit on the Names Council do so

The inaugural elected position is going to be the toughest.
What do you intend to do to help organizing the Individuals' Constituency
