I have some very grave news for you. We are leading Harry Reid in the polls and meeting our early vote goals--and yet, Sharron Angle could still lose.
As Sharron Angle's campaign attorney, I am sorry to report that the Democrats and their cronies are up to their same old tricks, of trying to manipulate the election in hopes of skewing the results in their favor.
Two days ago, the Democratic Secretary of State announced that voters can be provided "free food" at "voter turnout events." Harry Reid has been offering free food and, according to other reports, some Democratic allies such as teachers' unions are offering gift cards in return for a vote for Reid.
Before we were even able to document the reported infractions to report to the authorities, the Democrat Secretary of State slammed the door shut on preventing this behavior and issued a public statement permitting these ACORN-style tactics. THESE are the kinds of shenanigans that can turn this race... Harry Reid intends to steal this election if he can't win it outright. As a result, we need to deploy literally dozens of election law attorneys and poll watchers to combat these tactics ...
Understand, EVERYTHING we have worked for in the last year could be destroyed by dirty tricks and criminal acts in the next 8 days. As Sharron's first line of defense on these matters I am absolutely committed to making sure this won't happen...
What Harry Reid is doing is clearly illegal. Nevada law (NRS 293.700) provides that, “A person who bribes, offers to bribe, or use and other corrupt means, directly or indirectly, to influence any elector in giving his or her vote or to deter the elector from giving it is guilty of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130.”
We've seen evidence of this sort of voter 'enticement' by groups such as ACORN - where, in 2008, two ACORN workers in Milwaukee were accused of offering pre-paid gasoline cards or restaurant gift cards to people in exchange for registration.
John Fund wrote in his book Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy, cited reports from the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader (South Dakota) and the election in 2004, where certain residents were quoted saying that "people on the streets were saying you go vote, they would give you gas money, $10, maybe a pack of cigarettes..."
Now, this week in Las Vegas, at our election hotline, we received reports that some teachers' union representatives were offering Starbucks cards to people to get them to vote for Harry Reid. It is even more disturbing and may be possible that they are using their influence and authority as educators to entice students on behalf of Reid.
Here’s the bottom line: when the powerful are threatened, they will do anything to retain their position. It's clear now that Harry Reid's campaign is even willing to skirt the laws of Nevada to do it.
Is there any question that they will do the same on Election Day?
The right to vote is a precious one - and it carries with it somber responsibilities. The Democrats' willingness to allow voters to be enticed with a promise of any thing of value is a debasement of the process- and it may just destroy everything we've worked for...
Sincerely,
Cleta Mitchell

P.S. I've been in this business a long time. I have never before been so convinced that a candidate would reach so low in order to be victorious. Let's do this for Sharron and all her hard work.
If Harry does manage to win by using these tactics absolutely nothing will happen. The media will not cover the violations and with a Dem attorney corporal allowing the behavior it’s guaranteed Harry will succeed.
Why isn’t this attorney in court right now?
Are people answering the call for assistance?
fight fire with fire. Sharon Angle needs to use the $14 million she raised and do the same thing.
I agree, and I’ve said it for years.
The pubs aprty officials are MIA as usual. Worthless scum.
I wish I was in Nevada so I could help...I’ve already donated, but I’d rather be there in person.
I agree. I don’t understand how you can steal an election from the voting booth....finding absentee ballots later is another story, but give me all the free stuff you want and when I walk into the voting booth I will still vote for who I want. I never understood why you can’t give out a donut after waiting for that amount of time anyway. Sharron you are going to win but please stop this whining.
The whole ded-gum system is corrupt and the government is working overtime to keep it that way.
The system is not really designed for that to work. The delivery system is targeted at people who would see $10 or a pack of cigs as similar to winning the lottery. To most of us, we would NEVER spend an hour in line with 500 people who can be bribed for $10.
Keyword here: DEMOCRATIC Secretary of State. The Soros SoS project at it’s finest helped Franken steal MN, cost Rossi twice in Washington State and totally screwed with Ohio in 2008. ANYONE who votes for a SoS with a D behind his or her name is just plain nuts.
The US District Court in Las Vegas is loaded with great justices that were appointed by republicans and follow the constitution.
A senate seat is a federal position so the US District Court can rule on this case. Angle is blowing this!
Is she conceding the election before election day?!

The mid-term elections on next Tuesday better be clean, or EXPECT bad blowback!
I would say that the secretary of state should be brought up on criminal charges as well as all those who are involved in the scam. But no doubt the courts would rule that anyone bring such a suite would be ruled to not have standing. That is system we are living in where the law has become so corrupt that politicians are above the law.
Harry Reid is evil. He is not above evil things. His son is following in his footsteps.
If Whorehouse Harry wins, I’ll be first in line to dispute the votes.
The next step is to go to the local tv stations and get a camera crew out there to videotape it. If they refuse to go, record it yourself and put on YouTube but the purpose of having local stations show it is to make it so out in the open that the Dems will have to be more secretive about their tricks. While shaming a Democrat is a difficult thing to do, engaging in outright bribes on local television will give many of them pause.
“...Carson City is going to have problems.”
So will Whorehouse Harry.
[ 2) If the Democrats can have “voter turnout events” where they offer food, what’s preventing Angle’s team from doing the same? ]
Selective Enforcement of the law by the RAT Attourney General.....

Sounds like you listen to Jerry Doyle.....
Whorehouse Harry, learned to swim in a Whorehouse swimming pool, along with all the other sewage.
