Obama Nation
Posted on 10/26/2008 5:16:05 AM PDT by ajwharton
Yesterday, we had mandatory poll watcher training. There was a lot of info that we went over, but at the very end, the person in charge of the GOP election day activities told us that the Obama campaign had successfully sued to get a copy of all of the email correspondence between him and the Supervisor of Elections. This information included all of our names and addresses. He told us to expect a letter from the Obama attorneys, threatening us with jail time if we "interfere in the election process". Welcome to the Obamanation! Lawsuits for everyone!
Bring it, ya miserable gmokes!
When I get mine, I am going to frame it ornately and hang it in my livingroom.
Put it on ebay ...
I thought this was 2008, but I guess it’s really 1984.
Were you at the Broward training? I took the 1pm class there but had to leave before the end since it ran long. Thanks for the heads up.
Or maybe your homes will be burned down.
utter BS.
1. there is no suit, all information is online which county.
2. FL has a sunshine law there would be no need for suit.
3. again the storry is utter balony.
After scanning and posting a copy here, of course. :)
No, this was Palm Beach training. Not sure if you had the same guy (M.H. was his initials). Our training went from 10:00-12:30. Mostly, it was our attorneys haggling over the vagueness of some of the statutes. Some of the "in the trenches" stories from the old-timers from 2000 and 2004 was enough to make you pull up tent stakes and look for a plot of land in northern Idaho.
They did this in Florida in 2004. It intimidated a lot of poll watchers, as it was meant to do. Supposedly, the Dems were not going to do it again this time around, although I’m not sure the GOP ever got any legal injunction against the practice. Obviously, the Dems found it was effective.

seriously, there is no such suit in the palm beach online records.
FL’s sunshine law would make the emails public anyways. Emails are part of the public activity of the government.
1. there is no suit, all information is online which county.
2. FL has a sunshine law there would be no need for suit.
3. again the storry is utter balony.
I am just telling you what I was told. If you want to dispute the FL GOP, I will give you the email address. If you are accusing me of spreading baloney, you had best bring something better than a bunch of misspelled words to the party.
Don’t be intimidated. I’m sure the dems will have goons hanging out at every precinct in swing states. Don’t let them push you around. They are well-funded this time and will stop at nothing. I guarantee that by noon on election day, we’ll have 50+ stories of dirty tricks by the dem lawyers.
bttt
Interesting- I remember something like this in 04 as well.
Did they mention whether the RNC does something similar? I would imagine that both sides are trying to document and cover themselves on every possible front.
I am certain you were TOLD something.
However you are being subjected to the telephone game.
The GOP worker is stupid for not THINKING.
there is no suit, ANYBODY can find (or not find) the information on the clerk of courts website.
I don’t believe the voters including Obama supporters really want the Gestappo in their lives.
The Brown Shirt Nazi fascist in action this is just a sample of what will come.
Beat me to it, I was going to say put it on ebay too, but make copies and number them then sign them with personal comments for people like an author signs their books.
Please scan a copy, paint over your name and address, and post it here. Also, send a copy to Drudge, Rush, Hannity, et. al.
I sent this to Drudge. The world needs to know of possible intimidation.
Hmmm, good idea. *IF* I get one (and that seems to be of some dispute now), I will see if it gets any traction on eBay. The proceeds will go to the same charity that Rush gave to with the Harry Reid letter.
Can you conceal carry while working the polls?
A smelly, runny one at that.
They say that Bin Laden is the spiritual inspiration of a number of terrorists loosely aligned with al-Qaida, but not giving direct orders to anyone. This distribution of power empowers anyone to strike anywhere at any time when they think the time is right, in the name of Allah.
The same is true of Obama. An inspirational leader of a cause with many ideological followers who are free to do whatever they wish in the name of Obama. The only thing Obama said to his sleeper cells is, "Get in their faces."
how do I get to be a poll watcher in my area?
and also, can someone tell me if today is roll back the clock day?
Let's see if an actual letter arrives. The skeptical replier is correct in saying that this could just be rumor being spread. Let's NOT have another false "assaulted campaign worker story", please?
Holy cow....isn’t that threat in and of itself illegal intimidation? Please make sure this gets some publicity- contact your local TV and newspapers. ANYBODY in their right mind will find this type of behavior very disturbing.
If I could and would, I wouldn't be likely to mention it on a public forum.
Nothing will happen now. The list will be filed away and some months after the ONE has been coronated those on the list will become disappeared.
Let them threaten they are thugs and stupid too
Remember this from chess
the threat is always worse than the execution
You might need it for your own protection.
Unless they send a full company of light armor, this ain't happening.
Alos when I was in law school, the ethics professor taught that is was slimy low and unethical to threaten suit to get your sorry way
Doubtful. I don't need bullets to stop a charging Voting Rights Attorney. To quote Phil Hartman (imitating Frank Sinatra), "I got chunks of guys bigger than them in my stool"
that would be cool but also make sure you scan a copy for the internet and that Drudge gets it.
Also, read your FReepmail that you will get in minute.
I was a poll challenger for the last election and worked the entire day in a very ethnically diverse neighborhood. When I showed up, TWO LAWYERS for the Democrat party showed up (I work in Communications - not a lawyer)! I said hey guys, you’re entitled to only one representative in the polling place and I KNOW you’d have a problem with two or more Republicans here. So they agreed that one of them would go out on the sidewalk (and it was darn cold here in Minnesota) and “help” voters. I called the MN Republican headquarters and maybe they were too busy in other areas, but no one ever came out.
I was impressed with the election judges. They did a great job in facilitating voting even with those who were outraged that they were at the wrong polling place.
The Democrats did a great job of busing people to the polls. In particular, I saw how effectively they actively got people off the streets and from their homes, bringing them to the polls (sometimes in their slippers). Also got the impression they had actively worked the nursing home angle too.
“To quote Phil Hartman (imitating Frank Sinatra), “I got chunks of guys bigger than them in my stool””
Ha! I’ve never heard that one before.
Also got the impression they had actively worked the nursing home angle too.
I suspect they do that most everywhere. It’s a well defined group of voters located in one place so that they can pick them up and take them to the polls. Where I live the democrats work the nursing homes/retirement centers and take the people to an early voting center. If they can find one in a commercial location like a shopping mall then they offer a twofer..... vote and shop on the same trip.

Did the clock on your computer update?
No time change until next Sunday Nov 2 at 2 AM.
i am on a cell phone and it did not say
