Jackson Lee wants DOJ to monitor tea partiers at polls
By: Simmi Aujla October 28, 2010 04:21 PM EDT
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) is asking the Department of Justice to investigate whether tea party groups are intimidating black and Hispanic voters in her district.
Jackson Lee has asked Attorney General Eric Holder to send poll monitors to her district on Nov. 2 to make sure the King Street Patriots, a local conservative voter turnout and tea party group, aren’t stopping people from voting.
“Many of these incidents of voter intimidation have been occurring in predominately minority neighborhoods and have been directed at African-Americans and Latinos,” she said in the letter. “It is unconscionable to think that anyone would deliberately employ the use of such forceful and intimidating tactics in 2010 to undermine the fundamental, constitutional right to vote.”
“I urge you to order an immediate investigation into these incidents, and call for the Department of Justice to send poll monitors to Harris County immediately to ensure a safe and neutral voting environment during the Nov. 2 election,” Jackson Lee wrote.

Can we get a copy of the leter she wrote in the aftermath of the Black Panther situation?? I’m suuuuure she wrote one.
She is the Representative who claimed she has the DISHONOR of Representing Texas in the Congress.
DoJ should monitor Jackson-Lee 24x7.
BS!
Sheila, Shiela.......you are obviously SO confused. It’s YOUR PEOPLE who intimidate voters............
Once again, evil accuses others of soing what they are doing themselves/intend to do.
It never fails. “People of the Lie.”
As opposed to large menacing black guys in paramilitary garb with bats?
Ok,,,,,,
I guess we should just leave our hats at home, that would confuse them ;-)
This is such a joke. Never mind the NBP carrying clubs and making threating remarks.
The wonder is how this windbag keeps getting elected? IS the people in her district that inbred that she seems like a decent person? Or has massive doses of LSD pumped into the water supply.
Have you head this? ...I don't even know the guy's name.
The left believes in a constitutional right to Democrat vote fraud. America has become a banana republic. The Tea Party are the 21st Century Contras. Its true- We even have Oliver North on our side.
Gee - I wonder why she doesn’t express outrage at the Black Panthers’ conduct in PA during the 2008 election ...
Exactly, those in power will now use the DOJ to do their dirty work. This is why, when I hear conservative folks talk about broadening powers when Repubs are in office, I cringe, because those very same powers can be used against the conservative voice when someone else is at the helm.
I’ve heard “hang anyone suspected of vote tampering”, and other very firmhanded comments to the like. The problem is, those very tools can be used against us as well, as they are now playing out.
I was on a thread earlier, and it got me speculating about 2012 and the use of our own military against various states, and such thought, and I had to wonder myself if it would ever play out. When things died down here at the office, I realized, Obama wouldn’t use the military, he would use the CIA, FBI and DOJ to get done what he wanted to get done if martial law were declared.
Jackson Lee and others are counting on the DOJ to be their arm of intimidation. This message from here was to intimidate TEA party people. In otherwords, she is saying “back off, this is OUR polling place”. It has nothing to do with her wanting fair elections, its all about losing control of those polling places that the dems are counting on to deliver a nefarious vote count.
More of this sort of action will be commonplace over the next week. Just watch Nevada, I wouldn’t be surprised if Reid called in the state National Guard to keep those evil TEA partiers 100 yards away from polling places, all in an effort to get on the frontpage and create a false scenario, and to further intimidate those who really want a clean election.
And while they are down there, they could also investigate her illegal electioneering inside the polling place.
........ can I suggest using the Black Panthers to monitor the polls .

Tea Party folks are not the ones that need monitoring Hi-Jackson Lee. Try your own Community Organizers and the NBPP/Union/SEIU thugs.
Sheila is asking for help from Eric Holder’s
Department of
“Just -Us”
She means “White Folk.”
I confess I am flummoxed that this woman could be elected in Texas.
