KERNS (PA, Nu, LLM in TAxarioN) EVIZARETH A. BOKERMANN (PA) November 18, 2014 Adam Bonin, Esquire Law Office of Adam C. Bonin 1900 Market Street, 4th Floor Philadelphia, PA 19103 RE: Appeal of Helen Banushi, Philadelphia Registered Elector and ELIZABETH ELKIN, Philadelphia Registered Elector re: Yuonne Strickland, et al. Dear Adam: ‘As you know, I represent two Philadelphia Electors in the above-captioned matter, appealing Philadelphia Election Day Orders. On November 18, 2014 you tweeted from your personal/law firm account (@adambonin) “Remember E-Day, when @PhillyGOP tried to stop five hospital patients’ emergency absentee ballots? They're appealing.” This statement on your twitter account is incorrect and 1 have already notified you of such. The Philadelphia Republican City Committee is not the Appellant in the above-captioned matter. Frankly, | am not sure a political party would have standing. As a member of the Bar, you have a duty of candor. While you are obviously a partisan politician, I ask that if you do choose to disseminate information, that you take care to be factual in your commentary. ‘The Philadelphia Republican City Committee is committed to fair, open and honest elections. To the extent you insist on utilizing social media to demonize the Philadelphia Republican City Committee, you may whip up a frenzy in the liberal/ progressive echo-chamber but you also damage the credibility and candor necessary to the legal process. You admitted, on the record, that the statute was not properly followed. You argued that the judge should allow an extremely liberal interpretation. On behalf of the Philadelphia Republican City Committee, I argued that the law should be strictly followed. We both made our arguments with conviction. To contort election day proceedings into an hysterical proclamation that Republicans tried to stop disabled or sick people from voting sullies the integrity of the election process. : :Law Orrices oF LINDA A.
