‘Daily Voting News’ For December 14, 2005

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

The MSM today has been active with news about the resignation of Wally O’Dell and how analysts think that is great for Diebold. There is still very little there about the securities fraud suit or the Leon County test results. I guess we wait to see if they are going to report these stories. In the meantime, counties in North Carolina are lining up to buy Diebold, ignoring what news there is and the fact that they were probably illegally certified to be used in the state. This brings us to the lawsuit itself and the judge has delayed proceedings for a week while he becomes familiar with the case. That helps no one, least of all the counties who need to make decisions….

      Joan #2, Sorry I don’t, but there is a e-mail address at this link that might pan out.

      If we consider the Senate to be a voting body, and the bills there to be political candidates, then lets vote out the neoCon "Patriot"Act.

      This candidate is a member of the Fascist Party, who lies about everything, and who wants to be used to spy on americans.

      The target of this candidate is the opposition party, and spying on them is being done by this candidate to attain financial, medical, family, and other information about them.

      This candidate was arrested and put in prison for doing the same thing during the Nixon administration.

      Do not re-elect the Facist Party member "Patriot" Act. Vote the fascist out of office.

      Contact your Senators NOW and tell them to vote against renewing the Patriot Act. IT MUST GO!!!!

      What is wrong with the Democrats in the House who voted for the Patriot Act?

      The facts are shocking:

      "155 Democrats voted against the renewal, 44 Democrats joined 207 Republicans to help pass it" (link here).

      So, 207 Republicans are neoCons and 44 Democrats are too. We need to campaign hard in ’06 to defeat each and every one of them.

      David, I think we should start publishing the names of these neoCons and move toward getting them out of office in the upcoming election about ten or eleven months from now!!
