Joe, I am hoping that a sizable number of responsible APA members will learn of the situation you describe, and choose to avoid putting another quarter in the election jukebox to play yet another Texas Two-Step tune, so to speak. As APA president-elect, I would begin to set into motion a process by which the alleged shenanigans, if documented to be true as you say they are, would be subject to suffering close scrutiny by certain news media resources known to look upon polygraph with a jaundiced eye. Allow me to emphasize that such an eventuality would occur only if there is ample evidence to justify unleashing a hungry pack of investigative reporting hounds. In my APA candidate statement I wrote that as president-elect I will work tirelessly to bring truth, honesty and accountability to the polygraph profession. It is my position that polygraph has serious credibility problems which must be addressed.

Let me just say for the record, I have met Pat O' Burke.  I know him to be a good man that wants nothing to do with the Texas politics.  He has never wronged me in any way and as far as I can see, he has not been involved in the Texas colossal mess.  My wife went to his polygraph school and he treated her with kindness and respect.

Until I see or know something different than what I see or know right now, he will be treated with the respect he has showed me and my wife, plus three fold. 

I'll make it more clear, I do not think he is a part of any "texas two step" conspiracy. In fact, he is one of about three or four examiners in Texas that I would trust as being unbiased in my matter.

Until he or someone proves me wrong, that is my position

Having said that, you are the only one that has said publicly that this issue deserves a review, which it does
