CONGRESSWOMAN REQUESTS U.N. MONITORING OF U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
WJGR - Jacksonville ^ | 7.2.2004

Posted on 07/02/2004 1:29:15 PM PDT by KMC1

WASHINGTON D.C. - Texas Representative, Eddie Bernice Johnson, has requested formal U.N. election monitoring of the 2004 Presidential election. In her letter to the U.N. she has formally requested the U.N.'s assistance to "ensure free and fair elections in America."

She said, "As lawmakers we must assure the people of America that our nation will not experience the nightmare of the 2000 presidential election... This is the first step in making sure that history does not repeat itself."

She also requested that the U.N. "deploy election observers across the United States."

Four other lawmakers signed the letter. The lawmakers asserted that "the electoral process in Florida resulted in the denial of the right to vote for countless persons."

Does she mean like when Algore decided to selectively count "hanging chads" in Palm Beach County only?

You and me both. Does this idiot know that all the recounts done in FL showed that Bush won? I think this person should be removed from office!

The issue has been posted a couple of times today but I'm not sure that people realize what it really means. I guess I have some questions right off the top.

First I wonder what the constitutional requirements are to allow it. Personally I think our constitution clearly prohibits it. Also i wonder if she can make a request like this without congressional approval.

Hey, Bernice! Why don't you request the UN to monitor itself on the Oil for Food program or help the Democrats in Florida learn to print a ballot for idiot Democrat voters.

They can watch Broward, Miami, Dade, and Duval counties for dimple production.

There ought to be some action taken against this anti-American cabal. The UN has no jurisdiction over the American electoral process. Who is this %$#$% to even seem to surrender one iota of my personal sovereignty to the UN?!?!

They get elected because they scream the loudest and speak incessantly over anyone arguing with them.

The Florida voters can fill in lottery tickets, welfare forms, state assistance forms and racing track bets and they can't fill in a ballot?

How these people don't think anything of committing a huge fraud on the people of the U.S. - making fools of themselves in the process.

The U.N. consist of dictators and corrupt "politicians", and were they to sit in judgment of the American political system, we are lost - totally lost.

I have never seen such blatant arrogance and uncompromising ignorance by any group.

I have also had it with the "victim" trip they put on people. Grow up, shape up or shut up.
