EVERY NETWORK BETTER RUN THIS EFFING STORY!!!!
This is an AP article? I'm shocked!
Figures. I heard on the grapevine that the ciggies for votes was back in full swing in Michigan.
Or that they want to "case" the house and people they are soliciting..
This is the crap that we're up against.
Ping
My guess is, where these solicitations are being done, the felons are in greater danger than those answering the door.
anyone want to re-visit the Willie Horton affair?

Whose Media Virus? Our Media Virus!
(Culture Jamming 101)
Facilitator Andrew Boyd
Summary Andrew offered a slide-show presentation and hands-on workshop in the tactics & techniques of creative media interventions.
Right, no threat whatsoever.
I just emailed the link to news stations and our local stations
Don't hold your breath.
Are they paying these people a "living wage"? In St. Louis that is officially $8.81/hour the last time I looked. If not, this could be embarassing to the Dims.
Isn't Bill Clinton one of the founders of ACT? I seem to remember him being involved in this (I could be wrong).
People have been murdered because some fools paid them to go door to door selling something.
I specifically remember the case, fairly recent, of a young man selling magazines for one of those outfits that travel from state to state in vans, murdering a woman on his route.
ANDREW BOYD: A pioneer of viral activism, Andrew was one of the driving forces behind Billionaires for Bush (or Gore) and the Million Billionaire March. He founded, and for several years directed, the arts and action program at United for a Fair Economy in Boston. He is currently an adjunct professor at NYU and presents/performs around the country. His writing has appeared in the Nation, the Village Voice and several anthologies on recent social movements. Andrew is also the author of The Activist Cookbook, a source book on creative direct action, as well as several books of political humor published by W. W. Norton.
This is who we're dealing with:
Ellen R. Malcolm, President of ACT, is the founder and president of EMILYs List a political action committee that supports pro-choice Democratic women candidates. Under her leadership, EMILYs List an acronym for Early Money is Like Yeast because it makes the dough rise has grown to be the largest political action committee in the country. Since its founding, EMILYs List has help send 11 pro-choice Democratic women to the U.S. Senate, 55 to the U.S. House of Representatives, and to elect seven governors. Malcolm will lead the effort to build ACTs membership and raise $95 million to support ACTs voter contact program.
Steve Rosenthal , Chief Executive Officer of ACT, was Political Director of the AFL-CIO from 1996-2002, where he developed a groundbreaking voter contact program that increased voter turnout of union members by 4.8 million during a time when nonunion turnout decreased by 15 million. During the first three years of the Clinton Administration, Rosenthal served as Associate Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor where he acted as former-Secretary Robert Reichs chief advisor on union matters. Before that he was Deputy Political Director for the Democratic National Committee under Chairman Ron Brown and Political Director Paul Tully. Rosenthal will design and execute ACTs voter contact program.
Minyon Moore heads Dewey Squares state and local practice. She was formerly Chief Operations Officer of the Democratic National Committee and before that Assistant to the President of the United States and Director of White House Political Affairs.(the president mentioned is Bill Clinton, and she worked for Terry McAuliffe at the DNC.)
Gina Glantz has a distinguished 30-year career in campaigns and grassroots organizing. She was National Campaign Manager for the Bill Bradley for President campaign.
Carl Pope, Treasurer, is Executive Director of the Sierra Club, an organization of 700,000 environmental activists. Pope has spent 30 years in the environmental trenches, and worked to enact such statutes as the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, the Superfund and California Desert Protection Act.
Cecile Richards is President of America Votes, a coalition of almost 30 national organizations working together to educate and mobilize voters in the 2004 elections on a broad range of issues including the environment, civil and human rights, womens rights, choice, education and labor.
Here's part of their pitch for donations:
"Every dollar you give will turn out swing-state votes in November.
$500 helps pay a canvassing team for a week.
$100 puts a new canvasser through ACT training.
$25 buys canvassing materials for one days route.
ACT needs you. Sign up to volunteer today, in one of the 17 swing states.
Your vote is your voice use it. Register to vote online today."
Beside the point, but you would have to be a total tard to give anyone knocking on your door this information.
And here is an exmaple of the "10 million jobs" he would create should he become emporer.
God have mercy on America.
