You already know how important this election is to federal employees like us. But did you know that Election Day is only a month away?

That's right - next month, the country will go to the polls and decide who will represent us in the Senate and in Congress. Which means that AFGE members like you have a month to get involved, and make sure that our Senators and Congress members will fight for federal employees.

As a union, it is vital that we support candidates that support government employees. We need Senators and Congress members that will stand up for fair pay for federal workers, fight for federal retirement benefits, and work to ensure that our federal agencies stay open and fully staffed. 

The easiest way to make sure the right people are elected to stand up for our rights, is to vote. Making sure that you and your friends are registered to vote in this election, and making sure you know where your polling place is, is a great first step. You can find information on both of those at Turbovote.

To get more involved in getting out the labor vote, AFGE and our union brothers and sisters at the AFL-CIO are holding phone banks and Labor to Neighbor walks across the country. We need you to make a few calls after work, and meet your neighbors on the weekend, to encourage your friends and coworkers to vote. To learn more, go to the Labor 2014 page to find events in your area.

There’s only a few weeks left to go, so don’t delay! Visit AFGE’s Stand Up 2014 election pages to play your part in taking our country back.

These parasites need to be curbed. Americans have lost faith in government in large measure to the corrupt influence of public employee and teachers union on our political system, primarily Democrats.

We need to take advantage of some of the chaos in government that is coming our way to shrink the size and role of government, destroy these parasitic union, and defeat Democrats.

I cannot wait to get to the polls along with my Mom, my sister and brother in law and Mr. GG2, his sister, brother in law and nephew. All voting GOP.

Precisely! And that's why, unlike a percentage of FReepers, I have never bought into the whole "Martin Luther King is one of us" nonsense.

So what was MLK doing in Memphis back during April 1968? Was this "minister of the gospel" preaching the truths of Christianity and the Path to Salvation? NO! He was marching side-by-side with Jesse Jackson and a bunch of commies in support of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Anyone supporting unions gets nothing but my total scorn and contempt and that includes Saint Marty.

No, we don't. They will tell you flat out that you have no say. Govt. employees, at least 80% of them, are nothing but leeches.

DemocRATs are SEALING ELECTIONS BEFORE we vote !

Here's a MUST WATCH VIDEO about STEALING ELECTIONS !
Make sure you tell ALL your acquaintances to watch it, and watch it RIGHT NOW !

HBO Hacking Democracy The Pima County Way, Card Reader and RTA Election. ( 16:30 )
By AUDITAZ Uploaded on Apr 24, 2011

In the RTA election of May 16, 2006 more than 100 optical scanners failed on Election Day at various precincts.

Election day I was out inspecting precincts and once I found that a large number of optical scanners were failing to work at the precincts.
I called Rep. Ted Downing, (Chair of State Party Election Integrity committee) also (at that time) the Chair of our county party "Donna Branch-G".
Both went to the election department to see what the problem was
and that is when they found the Microsoft -Access manual open right next to the central tabulator.

Donna and Ted took pictures of this.
Both were told that they had no oversight rights because
this was a nonpartisan election
thus stopping us from actually finding out
if MS-access was on the system
and if the central tabulator networked to other computers in the office.
By the time we got to check the computer several months later the program was gone.
However, we did find MS-Access on the Maricopa Election Department and that system count 58% of the vote state wide.

The Diebold-GEMS software is built on MS-Access program.
It is illegal by state law to have software that has not been approved and or certified by the SOS office such as MS- Access.
This is because
MS Access easily backdoors the database
and one could change anything they want by passing the GEMS Audit log.

To make it worse
the normal backup which was always done EVERY election night
and/or major event was not until the following Friday at 5:01pm.

Additional Facts:
In the case of the RTA, the election department after processing 13,000 early ballots 6 days out,
went in early the next morning
and did a backup over that database
destroying that file called "early ballots day 1"
and replaced it with a new day 1 backup,
then illegally printed (5 days before the election) 2 election summary reports 10 minutes apart.
These reports by law are not supposed to be printed until one hour after the polls close.
Such a process took many computer moves that could never be a simple "slip of the finger".

Fact: Even though Brian Crane told the Judge Miller
this was a normal practice,
examination of the computer logs showed this had only been done one other time since 2000.
In actuality, Bryan Crane did backups at lunch
and before he went home at night.

Even Franklin Roosevelt thought that public employees unions was going too far. Liberal dreamer that he was, he thought that civil service should remain insulated from politics. Those commies and socialists who constituted the foot soldiers of his progressive machine got rid of FDR’s silly notions before his body was cold.

I wonder how many dead Democrats will come back from the dead and how many illegal immigrants will vote multiple times under fake IDs handed out by the administration?

[Sacajaweau]

All this chaos upsets us...because we do care and have worked hard for everything we have and we see it all wasted on the sheep...the sheep who flock to the polls because it's one big free lunch for them.

We're busy...yes...but no matter what...go to the polls and get rid of these Dems once and for all.

There has to be a way to stop the stealing of elections. I regard vote theft to be as dangerous to our country as any terrorist group.

[jsanders2001]

How can we ensure that the electoral process hasn’t been hacked? What safeguards do we really have? There has to be oversight and safeguardsv in every step of the process or it can’t be trusted.

> There has to be a way to stop the stealing of elections. I regard vote theft to be as dangerous to our country as any terrorist group.

Especially when it’s done BY a terrorist group ; The Muslim Brotherhood in our WH.

[Yosemitest]

All good questions.
I don't have the answers.
