One Tin Soldier
Unbridled advocacy in the hands of out-of-control AAG's is a dangerous thing, particularly when they're willing to bend the rules and worse, believe those rules apply to everyone but them.
Dear Rob,
I’m tuned in to a belief system I previously was not aware of.
Sure, I’d seen signs of it in the past, but until dealing with your office, I had no understanding of how deep these twisted beliefs run and how far these likewise twisted advocates will go in the name of consumer protectionism.
When there’s no hesitancy to do whatever it takes because the end justifies the means, destroying businesses with whom they disagree becomes just another day at the office.

82 Percent? Good Question?
It's working so we figured we ought to do it that way.

Dear Rob,
That Bobo is at it again, sending out what AAG Jim Sugarman will certainly say are “unfair and deceptive” postcards.
And do you know why they’re deceptive?
Psssst . . . between you and me (and please keep this under your hat), there is no Bobo. He’s just a figment of my imagination.

The Fix is In
Putting him in charge of fixing the mess he created and encouraged the Legislature to support is a clear case of the inmates running the asylum
Dear Rob,
I see you’ve recorded a video detailing the HB 2791 debacle and suggesting there’s a very simple fix . . . going back to the original version your office “crafted.”
Crafted?
The original version was a total mess, and going back to it isn’t what most of us consider a fix.
Remember the original version?
