Dear Brother/Sister:

In the electioneering, the key argument advanced by many of the nominators
of John Algeo is the poor mental and physical health of Radha Burnier. We
have seen the doctors' certificates and first hand accounts from individuals
attesting to the mental and physical fitness of Radha Burnier.

It is a pity that till today, none of the nominators who tried to present
erroneous information to their members regarding the health of Radha Burnier
solely to get their nominee elected, have not admitted their error in the
face of incontrovertible facts and nor their nominee has distanced himself
from the erroneous information fed to the members.

Today while browsing in the cyberspace, I came across a report of the
Centenary of Theosophical Order of Service which took place in Adyar on
January 2 and 3 of this year. It reported Radha Burnier addressing the
gathering and as well as the concluding session which clearly indicates
Radha Burnier discharging her duties as the President. The report also
shows John Algeo participating in it. So he witnessed the above function.

I leave it to the readers and members to come to their own conclusions as to
what is going on in the electioneering.

Here are some excerpts. A link to the full reporting is at the bottom.
