VOTER SUPPRESSION FORUM THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2005

Dear Voting Rights Activist,
It has been nearly a year since the November 2 election and a lot of work has been accomplished to report to the world what happened here in Ohio.

We would like to invite you to an event at the very same church where we held the first public hearing in Columbus to expose the stolen election:

"One Year Later - Voting Rights in Ohio"

Saturday, November 5, 1-4pm

New Faith Baptist Church, 955 Oak St., Off of Parsons near 18th

The event is free and open to the public. We will be showing some of the videos that were produced about the Freedom Bus Ride and trip to Washington, in which many local people are all the stars! Bob Fitrakis will speak about the events of the past year and they will be signing their books about the stolen election. We will discuss the upcoming election and the four election reforms on the ballot.

And we will have a tribute to the Rev. Bill Moss.

Please, invite friends and family to the event!

Please RSVP to this email truth@freepress.org

Thanks for reporting on this topic and for citing Bradblog. My friend Elizabeth here in Seattle attended the conference in Nashville on this and it is her primary focus now. Another "expert" is Marjorie G in Brooklyn. & we have more (like Suz) - let's use those resources & don't let this die - we have 2006 election coming up!

And just to keep reminding people about the Brad Blog..

When you get over there DEFINATELY look up the investigative pieces on Clint Curtis.

THAT is one of the most riviting,and scary accounts of whats happened.

Feeney is evil and must be stopped.

See yall after work.

Here's a good site that "seeks elections that promote voter turnout, fair representation, inclusive policy and meaningful choices"...

Amongst Lewis Libby's other talents, his porno writing apparently hasn't gotten as much attention.

defarge: Judge Priest from San Antonio is a Democrat without a long trail of campaign contributions. He is a no nonsense type of judge who can be fair but hard on criminal defendants. He is a retired judge who isn't afraid to take on tough cases and lockin up when the facts dictate. I had no problem with Judge Perkins but in a strange sense this could backfire on Deguerin and look like the court is piling on Ronnie Earl. In the end it will come down to whether the jury has a problem with the prosecution not having the actual TRMPAC list(only a partial copy) sent back from the RNC of targeted legislatures that DeLay sought to help, under what is called the Best Evidence Rule. Its technical and will probably end up in our Ct. of Criminal Appeals, pro prosecution but also made up entirely of Republican judges, but they will take this case seriously nonetheless.

Here is what was reported this morning in our local paper about Judge Priest:

"DeGuerin said he did not think DeLay would find objectionable three $150 donations Priest had made to San Antonio Democratic state representatives last year. All three lawmakers were involved in a House walkout in 2003 that temporarily blocked DeLay's redistricting efforts.

Priest said he gave the money to the lawmakers because of an unusual situation in which judges who retired before him and after him received more pay. He said the lawmakers were "kind enough" to carry a bill to make his retirement pay the same as other judges.

Though officially retired, Priest remains active as a judge and said he is a Democrat.

Last month in Dallas, Priest took over for a judge who was removed in a criminal case because prosecutors claimed he was favoring the defendant.

In 2000, he presided over the corruption trials of county officials in Karnes and Atascosa county accused of stealing from their governments. He sentenced both to prison.

Priest's most high-profile case was in 1990 when he ordered a San Antonio TV reporter jailed for six months for refusing to comply with his order to turn over notes in a capital murder case.

Priest was elected as a district judge in 1980 and remained on the bench until he ran for the 4th Court of Appeals in 1994. He lost the Democratic primary to an opponent who accused him of being "soft on crime" for reducing the $1 million bail set for two murder defendants by another judge.

Since then, he has served as a senior judge, handling cases that are assigned to him by an administrative judge."

Yeah, I read that last night in (the paper-based version of) the New Yorker (man, I love that magazine!)... Not only is he a really crappy, uninspiring porno writer, but I wondered why is it that notable conservatives -- Safire, Buckley, Erlichman, Lynne Cheney (!) and our very favorite O'Lielly -- feel the need to write porn...

Thanks Ira. Sounds like this one is going to drag on and on...and hopefully through the '06 mid-terms...

Boycott Dominos Pizza and call their corporate headquarters at 800-468-4726 and make the demand that the CEO David Brandon get George W Bush to withdraw the nomination of Samuel Alito and nominate a moderate to the Supreme Court or that you will boycott Dominos pizza. Dominos pizza CEO David Brandon supports the antiabortion movement. Pass the word.

Call your Senator and tell him or her that unless he or she votes against Samuel Alito, you will boycott Dominos pizza and they will lose alot of money and that you’re boycotting them because they give money to the Republican Party and the CEO David Brandon supports the antiabortion movement with money.

I call for as many people to call Exon/Mobil Corporation and demand that they set their prices so that people can pay $1.50 per gallon, OR they face a purchasing strike against their gasoline stations which means:No getting auto repairs at an exxon and mobil stations.No buying soda, beer or any other item at an Exxon or Mobil gas station that has a convenience store.No buying of gasoline at an Exxon or Mobil gasoline station.

Also demand that Exxon/Mobil get the Republican party to stop legislation that calls for drilling in ANWAR or you will boycott them for this reason as well.

Ok, the purpose of this appears to punish the gasoline station owners in the Exxon/Mobil gasoline chain. They appear the weakest link in the structure. They don’t have the huge cash reserves that the parent oil company Exxon/Mobil does.

Then proceed to buy gas, get your car repaired and buy conveneicne items at another brand gasoline station. When Exxon/Mobil capitulates then the others will follow suit.Call or email Exxon/Mobil today! Tell others.

Tell Republican contributors that you have had enough of the actions of the Republican Party and you will not take it anymore. See the section on voting by mail with paper ballots.

OT, but oh so very important...really. Please read this long, but poignant diary on Kos about why we all need to do all we can to make sure the HPV vaccine (to help prevent cervical cancer) is a choice available to everyone who wants it...even Tony Perkin's little girl, if she so chooses!

Reid gets slammed by CNBC for proposing a windfall profits tax on oil companies; now Frist takes up the call and is a hero?

Republican leaders have also begun taking on oil companies, at least in their rhetoric. Just a few months after pushing though an energy package that granted the industry tens of billions of dollars in tax benefits, GOP lawmakers have joined the chorus of protests about high gas prices and record industry profits.

Senator majority leader Bill Frist, Republican of Tennessee, has called for hearings to determine whether oil companies are engaged in price gouging at the gas pump. Senator Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire, has proposed a tax on excess oil profits to fund a federal heating assistance fund for low-income people.

If only we knew last October:

"If Libby lied, why would he? The prosecutor unknowingly answered that question at his press conference. He said, if the reporters testified when they were issued subpoenas in August 2004, “we would have been here [holding a press conference] in October 2004 instead of October 2005.”

October 2004 was a mere month before the presidential election on Nov. 2, 2004. Amazingly, in all the timelines of the leak investigations, there is no mention of the presidential election in November 2004 or that the basis for the war in Iraq was a key issue in that election.

Whether the charges in the indictment are true and whether Libby or anyone else is ever convicted, such a press conference on the eve of the presidential election in October 2004 would have dramatically affected that election. The reason that press conference was not held in October of 2004 is because the prosecutor had to waste a year fighting all the way to the Supreme Court to get information from reporters.

An October 2004 press conference summarizing the information in the indictment would have been explosive. If the prosecutor was in a position to know and disclose the information contained in the indictment in October 2004, it would have directly contradicted the White House’s categorical denial that Libby and Rove “were not involved” in the disclosure of the agent’s identity.

At that point, on the eve of the November 2004 election, the key question would have been, what did President Bush know and when did he know it. The answers to those questions would not have mattered: If he knew, he was in the middle of blowing the cover of a CIA agent; if he didn’t know that his vice president and many of the most senior White House officials were involved in disclosing a CIA agent’s identity to reporters, it would have confirmed many people’s worst fears that he was dangerously detached.

Moreover, few would have believed that Libby, an extremely intelligent, careful lawyer with decades of experience, would have on his own and without the knowledge or approval of at least the vice president, if not the president, disclosed classified information and blown the cover of a CIA agent. Thus, the other key questions would have been: Who else knew, when did they know and how did they participate in blowing the CIA agent’s cover?

So, if Libby lied, he likely did so to conceal the involvement of Cheney and others, to prevent a pre-election scandal and to protect the Bush/Cheney re-election. "

Is this grounds for Impeachment from a new Congress in January '07?
