	Several weeks ago, I posted Jeff Teichert's letter to the Faith and  
Freedom Network.
	A few days ago, he found the Cultural Warfare Update that mentioned  
his candidacy and his letter to FFN for support. Here's a direct link  
to his reply:
	http://solarbird.livejournal.com/393049.html?thread=1893721#t1893721
	A few letters back and forth between me and him are posted below that.  
He appears now to he more of a property-rights activist who is reaching  
out to fundamentalists for political support, which I'm not convinced  
makes _that_ much of a difference from a practical matter. (But I'm not  
100% convinced he's not just a very good stealth candidate.)  
Regardless, if you want to hear him making his case in his own words, I  
urge you to check that out. I did not edit his replies in any way, and  
set all of them visible that were intended to be visible.

Subject: [Active-seattle-l] (HEADS UP) Jeff Teichert, running for  
Washington Court of Appeals, is an anti-gay fundamentalist

	I'm pulling this one out from today's CWU to make sure it gets  
attention; Jeff Teichert, who is running for a position on the  
Washington Court of Appeals, is wooing the fundamentalists and appears  
to be a fundamentalist himself. (He spent some time being a full-time  
missionary in Australia; number one on his list of offensive court  
cases is one that recognised that lesbians could have parental rights.)  
He's doing the whole "judicial tyranny" thing. I recommend reading his  
letter to the stridently anti-gay "Faith and Freedom Network" in its  
entirety.

Jeff Teichert Announces Candidacy for WA Court of Appeals
Tuesday, March 28, 2006
Faith and Freedom Network

candidacy-for.html

We recently received a letter from Jeff Teichert announcing his  
candidacy for the Washington Court of Appeals. I thought it was so good  
on the substantive issues that I am posting his letter here.

----------------------
[LETTER FROM JEFF TEICHERT]

I am a candidate for the Washington Court of Appeals. An appellate  
judge must have the ability to consistently apply general principles to  
specific facts and to reason and write coherently. I have spent most of  
my career writing briefs, which hones and develops these essential  
skills.

During my twelve-year career in the legal profession, I have filed  
briefs in the United States Supreme Court, the United States Courts of  
Appeal for the Ninth and Tenth Circuits, the Washington Court of  
Appeals, and a variety of other state and federal courts and  
administrative agencies. As a law clerk for the Chief Justice of  
American Samoa, I assisted in preparing approximately 100 published  
judicial opinions over a two-year period. My career has provided  
excellent preparation for service on the Court of Appeals.
