| What's Wrong with an Inmate Staffed Voter Hot Line????? |
| 04.30.04 (10:40 am) [edit] |
[b]Govt for the Criminals, by the Criminals and of the Criminals!
[/b]I think this is very fitting, don't you?
[i]They should handle the calls at the notsoWhitehouse, too![/i]
[b]Inmate-staffed voter hot line irks Rep. Close[/b]
The GOP candidate for secretary of state fears that prisoners will defraud callers.
BRAD CAIN
The Associated Press
April 30, 2004
Secretary of State Bill Bradbury’s decision to have state prison inmates staff a new telephone hot line for voters
is drawing criticism from a Republican lawmaker running for secretary of state. http://news.statesmanjournal....
(I dont know why a Republican would dislike this!)
After all, convicted felons [i]can run [/i]for elected office!
(Case you didn't know that)

| Dirty SOBs Subpeona Activist - Patriot Act-shuns |
| 04.29.04 (8:30 pm) [edit] |
[b]This is not the first time Uncle Sam has tried to harass this lady.[/b]
They come after you [b]when you strike a nerve.[/b]
*She wrote the book BlackBox Voting.
*They shut her down before, and she set up mirror sites.
*They took her computers away, she got more.
*She has kicked their fat asses all the way around the country.
Think [b]Diebold voting machines[/b] possible decertification in California and Ohio!
Below is part of the story:

[b]The Secret Service Wants Your Name: Will "subpeona" this web site[/b]By Bev Harris
And by the way, they read every word. Hi, agent Mike. This "investigation" no longer passes the stink test.
He says not to tell folks about the "investigating" they are doing.
I have cooperated ad nauseum to this absurd investigation of the "VoteHere hack" which looks to me like it is something entirely different. I'll tell you what it looks like to me:
A fishing expedition.
It appears that they may be using the Patriot Act to circumvent some of the civil rights protections laid down in the 60s. You see, it is illegal for a government agency to go in and demand the list of all the members of a group. And you can't investigate leaks to journalists by going in and grabbing the reporter's computer.
After the Diebold memos were leaked, and my web site was shut down, around the time of the California recall election, I started getting solicited to accept VoteHere software. I didn't bite, because it was obvious that this was an entrapment attempt.
the rest right here: http://www.blackboxvoting.org...

| Medicare Ads Claim and question my Repub Congressman cant answer |
| 04.28.04 (5:58 pm) [edit] |
It really suxs that millions of our tax dollars go to trick people into thinking that seniors will save tons on their meds thanks to the "medicare modernization act".
[b]The fact is, there is a ton of fine print in the bill, and 1 deductible followed a donut hole, and on and on.[/b]
[b]Here is the fact: Even my Republican Congressman Burr (number 2 recipient of pharmaceutical industry contributions) cant tell me this:[/b]
What will my mother's monthly prescription costs will be each month beginning Jan. 2006?
[b]His insurance assistant tried to figure it out with a calculator,[/b] but that isn't workable.
I have asked them to get back to me so that we will be able to figure out a spending budget, since Mom's meds cost about $600 US a month.
[b]The medicare office cant figure it out either.
They referred my question to a special committee, [/b]
that committee called me back, they cant figure it out either.
Idiots! and other names you can imagine.

| Two Voting Companies & Two Brothers Will Count 80% of U.S. Election |
| 04.28.04 (11:13 am) [edit] |
[b]Two Voting Companies & Two Brothers Will Count 80% of U.S. Election -
Using BOTH Scanners & Touchscreens [/b]by Lynn Landes 4/27/04
The Urosevich brothers, Bob and Todd.
[b]Their respective companies, Diebold and ES&S, will count (using BOTH computerized ballot scanners and touchscreen machines) about 80% of all votes [/b]cast in the upcoming U.S. presidential election
more, and you should check it out at:
http://www.ecotalk.org/UrosevichBrothers.htm" title="http://www.ecotalk.org/UrosevichBrothers.htm" target="_blank"http://www.ecotalk.org/Urosev...
I am planning to organize a protest outside our states General Assembly on the first day of their short session in the second week of May.
[b]These machines MOLEST THE VOTE.[/b]
[b]Absentee voting may be a good form of protest to use during our primaries[/b] (in July so ours will not make much difference on outcome) so we can show the election officials that they cant get out of the work of counting our votes!
[b]The state of Oregon is strictly mail in, and citizens there [/b]tell me that they have very little problem with it. They plan to keep it that way!

| Need YOUR Help to Make Sure Supreme Court Doesn't Pick Next President! |
| 04.27.04 (7:40 pm) [edit] |
Dear Everyone - thanks for the great comments on W-Mart. Sorry I have been gone so long. Missed you!
IF YOU GET BORED EASILY, please SKIP ON DOWN TO THE LAST PARAGRAPH. The first few just tell why I have been gone so long. I have been lobbying for a voter verified paper ballot for elections in NC as well as other states.
That being said - IT has been a big month.
[b]Last week I met with the Director of Elections of Guilford County, NC[/b].
They have 1,100 touchscreen voting machines.
The guy is heavily into denial about the security of our vote on these machines. He even admitted that
[b]when he first got them in 2000, that 986 of them wouldn't even work![/b]
The screens were out of adjustment, some froze, computers wouldnt work, 986 that didnt work.
Since it occurred during early voting, he was able to manage the situation.
REMEMBER, THERE IS NO VOTER VERIFIED PAPER BALLOT ON THESE, AND 50% OF THE VOTES IN THE COUNTRY ARE TO BE TABULATED ON THEM.
[b]I APPEARED ON TV THIS SUNDAY, at 11 AM on NBC17, a Raleigh NC affiliate.Show called: "At Issue" with Monty Knight[/b] Show was about the perils of Black Box Voting.
Cant remember anything I said, I hope their cameras didn't break.
[b]The Executive Director of the NC State Board of Elections[/b] (This guy was big - literally)
Gary Bartlett was on it, also David Allen webmaster of www.blackboxvoting.com and contributor to the book BlackBox Voting by Bev Harris.
[b]HERE IS THE DEAL: THIS IS THE LAST WEEK TO LOBBY THE CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THE VERIFIED VOTING BILLS:[/b]
[b]We need the Senate to Co-Sponsor S1980 [/b](Senator Graham's bill)
[i]Clinton has a bill, but it would screw up everything. We need her to withdraw her bill[/i]!
[b]We need the Congress to Co-Sponsor HR2239[/b]
YOU CAN CALL YOUR SENATOR AND YOUR CONGRESSMAN TOLL FREE AT
1-800-839-5276
TELL THEM YOU WANT A VOTER VERIFIED PAPER BALLOT FOR NOVEMBER 2004.
maybe they can borrow the money from Halliburton!

| I Used to Shop at Walmart Until I Learned This! |
| 04.08.04 (12:06 pm) [edit] |
[b]Unemployement is high enough in my town, and my state![/b]
[b]There are already enough un-insured working poor here!
There are still some folks who work retail or in grocery stores that have benefits, albeit meiger ones[/b].
[b]This will change[/b] if yet another Walmart comes to town.
The ENDS DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS. IN THIS CASE, BOTH THE ENDS AND THE MEANS ARE ETHICALLY WRONG.
Talk about collateral damage:
I used to shop at Wal-Mart, till I found out how it lowers prices, and the effect that has on the economy.
[b]Did you know that the Waltons are the richest people in the world[/b], even richer than Bill Gates?
Yet [b]they pay their employees the lowest possible wages[/b].
Many cannot get insurance, or cannot afford the insurance that Wal-mart will let them have.
[b]Get ready to meet the increasing demand for social services on the city budget,[/b]
as the new Wal-Mart comes in,
[b]kills local businesses[/b],
and
[b]forces more people onto the public dole.[/b]
How about all those businesses that will be emptied?
Do you need a Wal-Mart?
Or
[b]Do you need a healthy community?[/b]
[b]Wal-Mart means LOW WAGES ALWAYS.
[/b]
[b]Wal-Mart promotes slave labor wages.[/b]
Do you know what the minimum wage is in China, (where most of Wal-Mart's goods are made)?
[b]The legal minimum in China is 31 cents an hour![/b]One factory that made bobblehead dolls for American sports figures only paid[b] 16.5 cents an hour[/b]
and with a[b] 7 day workweek[/b]. (5 day legal).
[b]people work up to 20 1/2 hours in one day. [/b]http://www.commondreams.org/h...
Excuse me, doesn't that amount to [b]slavery?[/b]
Every year, [b]Walmart tells its suppliers to lower the prices on their goods by 5%.[/b]
This can only be done by cutting the wages of the laborers.
[b]Could you live off of 17 cents an hour?[/b]
Its bad enough that the minimum wage in China is a QUARTER an hour!
[b]Wal-mart has driven that even lower!!!!![/b]
[b]Walmart is also the largest employer in the United States,[/b] just behind the government.
Prevent the problem now, just say no.
Let the existing businesses continue.

| We Are Sorry That Our President is An Idiot - merchandise tag |
| 04.08.04 (8:16 am) [edit] |
Subj: We are sorry that our President is an idiot. We didn't vote for him T-shirt
From: http://atbash.net/blog/archiv...
"I had to share this find. I recently purchased a high-quality computer sleeve from a small boutique manufacturer. I was checking if it could be washed. The photo is the attached tag with the washing instructions in both English and French. The English is exactly what you would expect and so is the French, for the first 6 lines. The last three lines of French are most interesting. 'We are sorry that our President is an idiot. We didn't vote for him.' Given recent strained relations between our two countries, it's good to see that not all Americans agree with the current administration"

| Arkansas - Sen. Lincoln is the Yugo of Democrats - Outsource the Arkansas Senator to India! |
| 04.02.04 (5:22 am) [edit] |
[b]Luckily for you, there is another Democrat running against her.[/b]
[b]Why is Lincoln a Yugo?[/b]
Democrat Senator Lincoln voted FOR:
the Iraq War
the Patriot Act
the medicare modernization (castration) law
[b]That is 3 strikes! This is the kind of politician that needs to be outsourced to India![/b] She serves the Republican party well.
[b]You do have an alternative[/b], and I have spoken with her many times, and she has helped me in my battle for Verified Voting in North Carolina:
[b]AR: Lisa Burks A Problem for Lincoln
Democratic Challenger Lisa Burks A Problem for Incumbent Blanche Lincoln [/b]http://www.polstate.com/archi...
[b]VILLAGE VOICE Ms. Burks gained national and international attention as a voting rights activist[/b]
and she is considered to be a leading authority on electronic voting machines.
[b]She established the National Coalition for Verified Voting [/b]and as a result of her campaign, [b]Arkansas was the first southern state to delay the purchase and implementation of these faulty voting machines, [/b]which in many cases cannot have the votes audited.
[b]She is consulting with several states to help them postpone the purchase of electronic machines[/b], which at the current time, are not secure repositories for one of our most sacred aspects of our democracy -- the vote.
[b]Burks is also working with such far flung areas as Japan and Ireland.[/b] Article: http://www.burks4ussenate.com...
[b]Lisa Burks is bright, she has integrity,[/b] and she will go into the swamps of Washington and make shoes out of the alligators!
[b]Check out her website, email or call her, find out what she is all about.[/b] http://www.burks4ussenate.com...
If you are a Democrat, or not, you will recognize an UNUSUAL strength in Ms. Burks, the kind we need to stand up for jobs, veterans, education, medicare and social security.
[b]She was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth[/b], and she is NOT a Washington insider, nor will she ever be.

| Veterans Used as Guinea Pigs Again! How Uncle Sam thanks them - |
| 04.01.04 (9:19 pm) [edit] |
[b]From a veteran's mailing list [/b]- please forward as seen fit:
[b]Veterans at Bay Pines and elsewhere were used as living subjects in a VA project to update the computer systems, [/b]and
[b]this with total disregard for the safety of veterans lives.[/b] Computers run every part of a Hospitals operation: the medicine, X-ray, cat-scans, supplies, and more.
VETERANS WERE HARMED! (this is only one of many crimes by the VA).
The situation is this:
[b]The Department of Veterans Affairs has had major Computer problems at the VA Bay Pines
Medical Center due to the fact that an IT company "BearingPoint" was improperly awarded a contract of about 500 million dollars. [/b]
[b]VA Secretary Principi knew about the problems with Bay Pines since 2001[/b], and only ordered an investigation last month to cover-up his own corruption as well as VA Under Secretary for Health Dr. Robert Roswell.
The Saint Petersburg times reports that Under Secretary Roswell testified before congress about who chose Bay Pines (for the Guinea Pig Project with BearingPoint):-------
" During a recent congressional hearing in Washington, Dr. Robert Roswell, VA undersecretary for health, said he didn't know who made the decision."
"But at the hearing at Bay Pines, Campbell (William Campbell, the VA's assistant secretary for management)said it was Roswell who recommended the hospital."

com.shtml
[b]This computer fiasco has so far wasted about "250 million dollars"; [/b]
millions of dollars that could have been used to help sick veterans; millions of dollars which could have been used to help veterans widows, and orphans. Millions of Dollars wasted on Top VA Officials pet projects which only lined the pockets of VA Contractors and the
corrupt VA officials which improperly gave out contracts as if they were party favors.
SEE: If you have been injured at Bay Pines go to:
http://www.injuryboard.com/view.cfm/Topic=9905" title="http://www.injuryboard.com/view.cfm/Topic=9905" target="_blank"http://www.injuryboard.com/vi...
[b]The Department of Veterans Affairs waves the Flag with one hand and picks the taxpayers pockets with the other.[/b]
[b]Veterans Claims languish in the dark spaces of the Board of Veterans Appeals[/b]; when they could be decided in less time with less cost, but the Fat-Cat Attorneys on the Board like all good bureaucrats spends
99 percent of their time giving the illusion of working, and out of the one percent of time they work, they spent 99 percent of that one percent in trying to get out of doing their job.
[b]The Department of Veterans Affairs should be cleaned from top to bottom. [/b]Cleaned of the VA regional offices which illegally deny claims, Cleaned of the Board of Veterans Appeals which continues the Regional Office lies; Cleaned of the VA Hospitals where [b]sick veterans go only to grow sicker[/b]. Cleaned of Top VA Officials on the take; or asleep at the helm.
Not only do VA contractors steal the American taxpayer blind, they ship our Jobs overseas. BearingPoint, and (Ross Perot's) Perot Systems, are among the top who what a piece of VA's taxpayer monies, yet send jobs overseas to increase their profits.
