Muslim vote is powerful, group told Examples are cited in Dearborn BY ZACHARY GORCHOW FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER December 24, 2006 Muslims played a critical role in some key elections this year. But elected officials won't take them seriously if they don't continue to organize and turn out Muslim voters, two politically active Muslims said Saturday at a convention in Dearborn. If there are efforts to register Muslims to vote, educate them about the candidates and get them to the polls to vote for one candidate, politicians will court their support, Jameel Johnson, an aide to U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks,...

DAVENPORT, Iowa -- With 27 days left until the caucuses, presidential candidates are hitting the campaign trail in Iowa and promise to be here from now through the holidays. This afternoon Republican Fred Thompson was at Thunderbay Grill in Davenport reaching out to conservative voters and dismissing the importance of polls that show him trailing behind both Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. An Associated Press poll released today shows Thompson with just 10-percent of the vote in Iowa and Huckabee taking the majority with 39-percent. But Thompson's not slowing down. While Thompson trails in the polls, many of the people...

Dear Friend, Will you to talk to someone for me? When I'm out on the campaign trail, I love talking to people. The stories they share are inspiring and remind me every day how much Americans are ready for change. But no matter how often I travel -- or how early I wake up -- I can't talk to everybody one-on-one. That's why I need your help. If voters hear from you about why you joined our campaign and why you want change -- that will make the difference on Election Day. Today my campaign is launching a nationwide voter...

If you have not already done your part, get on the phones! I called a girlfriend of mine and asked if she had voted yet. She said she wasn't sure she would, because she hadn't done enough research to know how to vote...which leads me to my next suggestion:Be ready with information, links, voting records etc. I am sure there are a good number of people out there who do not inhale the news like those of us on FR, and feel unprepared. Give them the info and encouragement they need to go vote today!

Today the President attended 2 rallies one in Georgia and one in Texas returning this evening to the White House. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld...

<p>John Stuart Mill once famously called the British Tories "The Stupid Party." From time to time since then, the Tory's American cousin, the Republican Party, has also earned that moniker. Now may be one of those moments. If current polls and anecdotes are to be believed, there may be a million or two conservative Republicans who are planning to not vote this November.</p>

The other day I watched a panel discussion about the forthcoming congressional elections. The panel's conclusions ranged from Bob Novak's grim report that some believe the GOP could lose as many as 30 House seats in November to John Fund's suggestion that all is not lost (maybe), to Human Events' John Gizzi's fear that Republicans will sit out the election to National Review Kate O'Beirne's less gloomy outlook. All, however, agreed that the key to this election is Republican turnout. If GOP voters, angered with their party's failure to live up to conservative principles, elect to stay home, Election Day...

Dear xxxxx, This morning, Republicans are making laughable claims of momentum in the 2006 elections. They poured over $5 million dollars of national Republican money into a California special election to hold onto a seat that they've held since it was created by the GOP, for the GOP 15 years ago. And they eked out a victory by 5,000 votes. Their claims of momentum are as phony as their claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Help make today a day of defiant determination by personally joining in a remarkable display of grassroots support for four key Democratic challengers...

(AP) MILWAUKEE Four Democratic presidential campaign workers were sentenced to jail time ranging from four months to six months Wednesday for puncturing the tires of Republican vehicles on Election Day 2004. The men had pleaded no contest in January to misdemeanor property damage. A fifth worker was found not guilty. Those who pleaded no contest were Sowande A. Omokunde, the son of Democratic U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee; Michael Pratt, the son of former acting Milwaukee Mayor Marvin Pratt; and Lewis Caldwell and Lavelle Mohammad, both from Milwaukee. They originally were charged with felony property damage but accepted plea deals...

WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) - A judge allowed a court challenge to Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire's excruciatingly close election to go forward Friday, rejecting arguments that the dispute can only be resolved by the Legislature. The ruling by Superior Court John E. Bridges came at a hearing on a Republican attempt to overturn Gregoire's election. Gregoire was sworn in last month after being declared the winner by a mere 129 votes out of 2.9 million cast. But Republican candidate Dino Rossi and the state GOP say the contest was tainted by so many errors and illegal votes - including ballots cast...

Friends, Pardon the vanity post - but it is election day. Right now, I feel sick. I am sick at the prospect of a two-faced shonk called John Kerry winning leadership of the Free World. I'm sick that here I am on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and can do precious little to stop him. My nausea is eased by the knowledge that there are thousands of Americans, good men and women such as yourselves, who are rugging up and preparing to fight the good fight one last day. It comforts me to know that you realize that,...

WAUSAU, Wis. - OK, Bucky, the presidential election is down to the final hours. What's that, you say? Months of presidential campaigning in Oregon have left you feeling like a pounded slab of Swiss steak? Hey, someone else always has it worse. If you lived here in Wisconsin, you'd feel like hamburger. Three weeks ago, I drove here to stay through Election Day. I wanted to discover what life is like in one of the hottest battleground states. I found a cacophony of TV and radio ads, a locust-like invasion by the candidates, their families, and celebrities, stakeouts by street...

Horlick voter drive will proceed By Phyllis Sides RACINE - Horlick High School students will still help get out the vote next week, despite the decision to pull the plug on a similar program in Milwaukee. Jose Martinez, Racine Unified's assistant superintendent for secondary education, said students' efforts are part of a service learning project that is nonpartisan. The participating students are part of social studies classes that have been studying presidential elections and the democratic process. Students will spend the entire school day Tuesday going door-to-door, in all of the city's 35 wards, providing information on how people can...

RACINE - The get out the vote project planned by Horlick High School students has been canceled. Racine Unified School District Superintendent Thomas Hicks said what started out to be a class-related activity last week turned out to be a partisan event. The decision to cancel the event was made Monday morning after he learned the facts had changed and it was no longer a bipartisan endeavor. "At one point it appeared it was going to be bipartisan and reach out to all of the community. But some groups decided they didn't want be part of it. Not everyone was...
