I have to run out and produce Mark's television show, but here is a rough draft of a press release. Your thoughts?
Good. I'd change a few lines to focus more on the similar but legal forms of bribes... teachers who lobby and vote for those who promise increased school funding, for example. While you easily see the hypocrisy, don't assume others see it. Spell it slowly and careful for all to follow.
I agree that promoting the _letter_ might backfire, but since the cat is out of the bag now, the best option is to go public, and get lots of pro-Julia press out of it: Julia wants to do the right thing, and she'll continue to do the right thing... she wants to save the taxpayers money - any way she can. And she will!
