"No! Not at all!" exclaimed Liz Pearson, chairwoman of the Clackamas County Young Republicans, when asked whether Nader petitions were circulated at the group's meeting last week, held at the Bomber restaurant in Milwaukie. "That was not happening at our meeting, I can guarantee you that."
"Hook me up to a lie detector, honey," she added.
But two people who attended the meeting told WW Pearson herself brought Nader petitions and encouraged folks to sign. "She had a stack of them," said Gail Holmes, president of the Lake Oswego Republican Women's Club. "She asked people if they'd distribute them."
In a subsequent interview, Pearson backtracked, saying she'd learned someone unaffiliated with the group had brought a petition without her knowledge.
