Joyce on “Truth Squad”: Not about prosecuting people
St. Louis Circuit Jennifer Joyce has been caught in a dust-up over her presence on a “Truth Squad” for Barack Obama. 
For the background, see Jo Mannies’ post below.
Now, here is a statement from Joyce:
As a citizen, I believe that elections should be about issues. I also have enormous respect for our First Amendment and freedom of speech. My sole purpose in participating in this initiative is about getting truthful information to the voters. This has never been or never will be about prosecuting people.
Clearly there are those who are attempting to twist the purpose of this initiative for their own benefit. This attack is a great example of how the truth is distorted in campaigns and what we’re trying to stand up against.


Who is this person’s supervisor?
It seems to me that Ms. Joyce should spend more time prosecuting crimes rather than representing Senator Obama.
Isn’t her job to represent the people of St. Louis rather than a political party?
Is she going to prosecute people who spread lies about Senator McCain and Governor Palin?
