Just FYIDebt increases by recent US Presidents: Reagan 186%, Bush I 54%, Clinton 41%, Bush II 72%, Obama 23% . . . Source: Congressional Budget Office Ann A.C. Crispin (Facebook, August 28, 2011) While politics are far off our normal subject matter for discussion, we were immediately skeptical by this Ann A.C. Crispin Facebook posting. We cannot ignore this statement of fact and apparent use of primary source material by Ann A.C. Crispin. If you didnt know any better you would think that this is authoritative, it is from Ann A.C. Crispin . . . right? However, when you look into this a little further things are not

quite what they seem. Firstly, if you Google Ann A.C. Crispins entire quote (above) you will pull up the identical quote from many other sites. This quote has been posted, re-posted, tweeted and re-tweeted by many apparent like-kind liberal sources as authoritative. Secondly, the Google search does not take you to the primary source material (i.e. the Congressional Budget Office) nor does Ann A.C. Crispin post a link to the primary source material from the Congressional Budget Office. Credible? Thirdly, were willing to bet that Ann A.C. Crispin did not personally conduct this research and fact-finding herself; shes merely posted a quote from one of these other unvetted sources (this should concern you . . . more below). Fourthly, regardless of where these percentages emanate from, one needs to look at debt increases in terms of dollars. Ann A.C. Crispins quote intentionally does not present a true statement of facts. FACT: Congress determines spending amounts not Presidents. Historically, Democrats have outspent Republicans 2 1 (click here). Also, keep in mind that Obama has only been in office since January 2009 and his term is not complete. During this period under Obamas watch the national debt has increased to $4 trillion dollars. To wit: Using nominal measures, CNNs Jack Cafferty and CBSs Mark Knoller have noted that the US national debt has increased more rapidly under President Obama than under any other U.S. president, and that it had increased by $4 trillion since the beginning of his term of office. This is not the first time that Ann A.C. Crispin has been less than genuine. A recent example of her lack of attention to facts was presented in our posting, Come on Ann A.C. Crispin . . . Get it Right . . . Will You Please? (Click Here). However, the most blatant example of posting an unsubstantiated claim remains: American Book Publishing has been the subject of at least one police investigation. The Write Agenda researched this claim extensively and proved that this is a fabricated story. Please see our posting:American Book Publishing Investigation Research Released: No Proof of Victoria Strauss Claims (Click here). We are not trying to make a political statement here. However, Ann A.C. Crispin presented an opportunity, albeit a political one, to really to question what she claims as fact. We are grateful for this opportunity as it

once again demonstrates the need to evaluate statements like this through the C.R.A.P. Test. With all sources of information available to us today, its sometimes difficult to know which are based on facts, to discern whether false information was provided or whether the whole story was communicated. While some Web sites, and their commentators, began as providers of information based on facts and or unbiased opinions, many over time have been corrupted either in whole or in part to a point of view or ideology. On this page (click here) you will find a list of sources that have been shown to promote progressive ideologies, open ended commentary and unsupported statements. Some are presented as nonbiased or based on facts; others do not. Through an examination of the information these organizations and individuals offer, including their sources of funding, parent organizations, leadership, agendas, goals and content of the information presented and based on comparison with the facts as determined by the primary source material as it becomes available, many warrant further review. The objective is to encourage you to evaluate these sources of information with a discerning eye, become a skeptic and utilize the C.R.A.P test to evaluate postings, articles and information. C.R.A.P. is an acronym for Currency, Reliability, Authority and Purpose and Point of View.

Cease & Desist Issued (08.26.11) 7 day notice: 09.02.11 Rita Webbs new book Tears on the DO NOT BUY & Boycott lists NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST INTERNET DEFAMATION AGAINST THE WRITE AGENDA SENT VIA EMAIL: DATED: August 26, 2011 Dear Author, Rita Webb: Please be advised that our law firm has been advised to take possible legal action against you for the series of defamatory attacks made by you

against The Write Agenda on the web site Ritas World and other affiliated web sites. You have posted many willfully false and misleading comments about The Write Agenda. Examples of your defamatory statements have been sent to our law firm and include the following: I am happy to hear The Write Agenda is under investigation. Also, the following posting by Ann Crispin: Writer Beware (singular, btw) believes the motivating force behind this hate site is a scammer who had his defamation lawsuit against Writer Beware dismissed a couple years ago. In his dismissal decision, Massachusetts Judge Thomas Connelly openly said that this individual and his companies were committing fraud. Writer Beware (singular, btw) believes the motivating force behind this hate site is a scammer who had his defamation lawsuit against Writer Beware dismissed a couple years ago. In his dismissal decision, Massachusetts Judge Thomas Connelly openly said that this individual and his companies were committing fraud. Theyre currently under investigation and facing a civil suit from the Florida Attorney Generals Office for fraud and conspiracy to commit same. For the record, The Write Agenda is not under investigation, is not the individual identified by Ann Crispin and is not affiliated with the individual identified by Ann Crispin. The statements made in reference to The Write Agenda are false and without merit and are defamatory per se. Additionally, your comments and posts actively encourage and solicit defamatory statements from users of various internet sites. You could have serious financial exposure to The Write Agenda for each and every single defamatory statement. Your conduct of spreading libelous and defamatory statements and comments about The Write Agenda have caused serious and irreparable injury to our business and reputation within the publishing and author community.

While you certainly have a right to express your opinions, you do not have the right to make false statements of fact injurious to anothers reputation. The comments posted by you on The Write Agenda go far beyond the mere expression of opinion. They are false statements of facts that have damaged The Write Agendas business and reputation. THEREFORE, we hereby demand that you: 1. Immediately CEASE AND DESIST from making defamatory comments against The Write Agenda on any and all web sites, including, but not limited to Ritas World. 2. Immediately delete or remove from Ritas World and any other web site, all defamatory and disparaging remarks made by you against The Write Agenda. If you refuse to comply with our demands within 1 week (September 2, 2011) of receipt of this letter, The Write Agenda will have no choice but to pursue all legal claims against you, including the filing of a lawsuit. In that lawsuit, we will pursue not only damages caused by your actions, but attorneys fees and court costs. Please be advised that this letter is copyrighted by our organization, and you are not authorized to republish this in any manner. Use of this letter in a posting, in full or part, will subject you to further legal causes of action. PLEASE GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY.

Careful if you comment, theyre allegedly into suing people who share opinions they allegedly dont like. - P.N. Elrod (Facebook, 8//25/11) Confidential sources have advised The Write Agenda that Author P.N. Elrod has been the subject of numerous Cease and Desist letters. This appears to have some merit to it since Elrod appears to have deleted potentially defamatory and slanderous postings. Elrod also appears to be opting to post links on her Facebook page that were written by other blog authors. More on this as it develops.

In addition, many of these sites have become nothing more than complaint boards that disseminate speculative claims without any substantiation. We do not discount the validity of some claims made. However, we want to question both sides of an issue and to assist other authors in making informed decisions. If a fact is proven true well support it. If a claim is twisted, slanted, incomplete, not updated (retracted) or smells like innuendo . . . well challenge it.

We will not engage in self-promotion, post links to our books or encourage you, in any way, to purchase our books.
