On April 27, 2005, DCBS investigator Patrick Fitzgerald wrote Workman & Steckly: “Your letter to clients gave the false impression that they were required to sign the enclosed forms for their pre-arranged funeral to continue….We believe that in moving the trust funds as you have, Workman & Steckly may have violated Oregon law.”

It turns out Kohler had written the allegedly misleading letters.

“This transfer was arranged and facilitated by Daniel Kohler, an insurance agent based in Keizer, Oregon. It is Kohler, his agency—Professional Preneeds, Inc.—and the company for which he is an agent, Great Western Life Insurance Company of Ogden, Utah, that most directly benefit from this transfer,” wrote DCBS’s Fitzgerald in an Oct. 17, 2005, summary of the investigation.

I think wealthy Democrats should have to reveal themselves as being behind every "I want to help the poor by making others pay for it" initiative.

The other website in question was created by the people from this website and intentionally made to look like a "grassroots" site, which it wasn't.

As a former intern, I sent mailings to many of the hundreds of thousands of FreedomWorks members across the nation. As someone who posts often on this blog, you should have had time to scroll through the pictures showing people across the country fighting to protect individual freedoms. They're real people, not politicos from DC. If you haven't seen them, here's a link: http://www.freedomworks.org/08032006/ Mr Guy,

The Cole people and the WSJ are just a tad late on the uptake it seems.
