"Another court, another cover-up," says Andy Martin. "What is wrong with our country when someone can be 'elected' without providing access to the original copy of their birth certificate? Something is drastically wrong with our democracy, and every American will pay the price. We will be issuing a fund raising appeal to continue this battle on appeal. The claim that a president's birth certificate is secret is complete nonsense." Andy Martin plans appeal of Honolulu court decision on Obama birth certificate, has not yet received a copy of the ruling

BOISE, Idaho. - The mayor of an eastern Idaho town where second- and third-grade students chanted "Assassinate Obama" after Barack Obama's Nov. 4 election victory has publicly apologized, saying there's no excuse for such comments. Rexburg Mayor Shawn Larsen wrote to local newspapers he was saddened by the notoriety his community had received over the incident. He received e-mails from as far away as Canada. Larsen told The Associated Press, "When people don't stand up and say, 'That's not appropriate, that's wrong, and those are hateful remarks,' it's almost like they are saying that it's an OK thing to do....

Acorn votes in Ohio did us in. Billions to Acorn from now own!!!! THe biggest hurdle from here on out is getting fair elections to ever turn this around. Acorn will be everywhere a close election is expected and funded with billions of our tax dollars. The chance of getting a fair judicial ruling against voter fraud is now gone as well. Folks we may be seeing the beginning of the end.

According to Fox, 264,000 more Dems than Repubs have early voted in Colorado and 447,000 more Dems than Repubs have early voted in Florida. This was followed by a report that Dem judges were extending the voting hours to 6AM to 9PM in key states so that "everyone would have achance to do early voting." Without being decried a "racist," every_single_peron shown in early voting was African-American. The icing on the cake was a panel of "jorunalists" agreeing that, if the early/eastern states show a big Obama lead on 4 Nov, then it would be "negligent" not to announce that...

Something is seriously off with the polling. Beyond the typical oversampling that most polls are doing, here is what puzzles me. WHY IS OBAMA EVEN GETTING HIGH 40s SUPPORT? 1. The youth vote has been the same as 2004. NO bump there 2. I can’t imagine seniors voting for Senor Obama, especially after he floods the doctors with 45 million new health insured 3. The Jewish American vote for Obama HAS to be less than what Kerry got. No matter how radical a Democrat you are, you owe a religious duty to the land God gave to you. These are...

1. On Feb19, 2008, Chris Matthew of Hardball interviewed Obama supportor, Senator Kirk Watson, and asked twice,” Can you name one accomplishment of Sen. Obama in the US senate?” He could not name even one!  Less experience than GOVERNOR Palin (who is also Commander in Chief of the Alaskan National Guard).  Like it or not, America is the last standing "SuperPower" and with Obama's finger on the Nuclear trigger that is a scary, frightening thought.  Obama's own admitted experience is as an ACORN COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!  In other words, HE HAS BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH THE GROUP THAT IS WIDELY KNOWN TO...

Acorn, the liberal "community organizing" group that claims it will deploy 15,000 get-out-the-vote workers on Election Day, can't stay out of the news.The FBI is investigating its voter registration efforts in several states, amid allegations that almost a third of the 1.3 million cards it turned in are invalid. And yesterday, a former employee of Acorn testified in a Pennsylvania state court that the group's quality-control efforts were "minimal or nonexistent" and largely window dressing. Anita MonCrief also says that Acorn was given lists of potential donors by several Democratic presidential campaigns, including that of Barack Obama, to troll for...

Possible voter-fraud cases keep cropping up Wednesday, October 29, 2008 10:13 PM By Jill Riepenhoff THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Examples of possible voter fraud in Ohio stretch from the farmlands to the West Coast. In Highland County, 95-year-old Mildred Meddock registered and voted for the first time in her life despite her advanced Alzheimer's disease. Her granddaughters learned of her newfound patriotism when they visited the nursing home where Meddock lives and saw an "I voted today" sticker on her clothing. Records show that Meddock registered Sept. 26 when two Highland County Board of Elections employees visited the home, Heartland of...

Several Decatur County voters are concerned about problems with the voting machines at the Election Commission Office. Voters claim they tried to vote for McCain for President but the machine checked Obama instead. At least three voters encountered the problem when casting their early ballot on Saturday morning. Franklin Boroughs says he intended to vote for Republican but rather the computer had checked the Democratic candidate instead. Wanda and Barney Blasingim similarly said they tried to vote for McCain but the machine switched the vote. "I noticed the problem immediately," Wanda said Monday. She says she touched the "button" for...

A former staffer for an affiliate of ACORN testified today that they were provided a "donor list" from the Barack Obama campaign. Anita Moncrief, a former Washington, D.C. staffer for Project Vote, which she described as a sister organization of ACORN, said her supervisor told her the list of campaign contributors came from the Obama campaign. Moncrief said she has a copy of a "development plan" that outlines how Obama contributors who had "maxed out" under federal contribution limits would be targeted to give to Project Vote, and that it was her job to identify such contributors.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Mississippi's voter situation is hard to believe. Places like Madison County have over 123% more registered voters than people over the age of 18. Sue Sautermeister, First District Election Commissioner in Madison County, tried to purge the rolls, but ran into trouble when it was discovered it takes a vote of three of the five election commissioners and the purge cannot take place within 90 days of a federal election. Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann is the first to admit the situation with voter registration in this state is terrible. "It is terrible," he says. "Combined...

Almost 1.5 million Ohioans request absentee ballotsPosted by Reginald Fields/Plain Dealer Columbus Bureau October 27, 2008 14:56PM COLUMBUS -- Amid predictions that next week's election could draw among the highest voter turnouts in Ohio history, an unprecedented number of Ohioans have elected to vote absentee. Nearly 1.5 million voters through Oct. 24 requested an absentee ballot either in person or by mail, according to the Ohio Secretary of State's Office. Voters can still request an absentee ballot from their county board of elections through Saturday and must postmark their ballots by Monday, Nov. 3 or the ballots can be dropped...

We're not sure if this is improper but thought it unusual enough to get it out there in the blogosphere. First, some background. ACORN, that is, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is a nonprofit Arkansas corporation that is not tax-exempt. ACORN likes not being tax-exempt because that means it doesn't have to give much in the way of public disclosure. It carries out its activities largely through its affiliates. One of its affiliated organizations is the American Institute for Social Justice Inc. The Institute is tax-exempt so it is required by federal law to disclose a great...

It seems like the editorial departments of liberal newspapers across America are going out of their way to assure us that ACORN, which has been been submitting massive numbers of fraudulent "voter" registrations, is really doing nothing much to complain about. And if you do complain, you should shut up as the Los Angeles Times told John McCain or you are just playing politics as the Raleigh News & Observer asserted today in an editorial (emphasis mine): The Associated Press reports that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now is under investigation by the FBI for possible involvement in...

FAYETTEVILLE - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama brought his campaign to the conservative-leaning eastern part of North Carolina on Sunday, warning people not to be “hoodwinked” by a series of Republican charges in the final weeks of the campaign. Obama, the Illinois senator, said Republicans were assailing his character and were leveling baseless charges of socialism in speeches, robo calls and in campaign flyers. If he "can't figure out why" he is being (accurately) labeled socialist, maybe he should take a look at his radical, socialist friends and associates, and maybe he is as dumb of an empty shirt as...

Predicting pols There are only 15 days left until Election Day, which means that pundits and pols will be busy predicting who will win come November 4. We caught up with Speaker Nancy Pelosi at Georgetown's Café Milano Friday night and she didn't pull any punches. "100% Barack Obama is going to win!" she told Yeas & Nays. "He's going to be our next president and a great president at that. We're all excited to work with him." But that's not what Rudy Giuliani thinks. We found him palling around with Yogi Berra at the Washington Hilton Saturday night and...

Home's 12 occupants strike at heart of debate over voter eligibility. small, unremarkable house on the East Side seems as anonymous as any other on its working-class street. But as authorities investigate the rental home's current and former residents for possible voter fraud, it has become a focal point for questions about the integrity of Ohio's election system heading into the presidential election. Some critics of Ohio's election system now question whether lax residency requirements and election laws are creating loopholes for outsiders to vote in this battleground state. By late summer, the house at 2885 Brownlee Ave. had become...

This is just too funny! Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been on a vote fraud shtick for at least two years ever since he began writing about how the Republicans "stole" the 2004 election (somehow they didn't bother to "steal" the elections in 2006). This year he is claiming that the Republicans are again trying to steal the election via "voter suppression." What Kennedy means is that when Republicans dare to challenge the vast number of fraudulent registrations submitted by ACORN, that is somehow "voter suppression." So how to explain the very obvious false registrations submitted by ACORN around the...
