Bill Postmus is feeling the heat. This email an appeal for his Legal Defense Fund. My favorite part is the part that says; "This whole situation smacks of an underhanded effort by mean Democrats to destroy a tax-fighting fiscal conservative." That  sure is a lot of smack alright.

Here is the appeal:

A good friend of ours has recently been under unfair and unreasonable scrutiny. The Honorable Bill Postmus, the elected assessor for San Bernardino County, has always done great things for the people he represents.

You may have read that the San Bernardino County Grand Jury recently issued Assessor Postmus' office a "clean bill of health." That statement is absolutely true! Never has the Office of County Assessor been stronger, more efficient, or more productive than under Bill Postmus' leadership.

However, five weeks ago a great man was arrested, and is now being prosecuted under bogus charges. Clearly, Bill Postmus is the victim of an unfair investigation and prosecution by an overzealous district attorney. This whole situation smacks of an underhanded effort by mean Democrats to destroy a tax-fighting fiscal conservative.

With the statements made by the district attorney last week that the investigation is "ongoing," we supporters of Bill Postmus are growing concerned that he may soon be the victim of a politically-motivated witch hunt indictment. Simply put, we want to ensure that Bill is ready to fight any charges that may be brought against him.

What we are attempting to do is collect the necessary resources to fund a strong and powerful legal defense of Bill Postmus. But we do not want to wait until after indictments are handed down. We want to collect these funds preemptively. We want Bill to come out swinging the very moment any charges are filed. We want the district attorney to think to himself with concern, and wonder if he can truly win a victory in court that would go against the desires of the people of San Bernardino County.

But we need your help to accomplish this worthy goal.

Will you please consider making a generous contribution of $1,000, $500, or even as little as $100 to the Bill Postmus Legal Defense Fund, once it is established? Bill has been there for us when we needed him most. Now, it is time for us to be there for him.
Simply reply to this message with the amount you are prepared to contribute, and a representative will contact you. Do not submit any personal financial information directly to this email address. Remember, there are no limits for contributions to legal defense funds.

I know Bill will be appreciative of your support.
 
Sincerely,


Jane Baldwin
Bill Postmus Legal Defense Fund
