Clinton Makes Entrance By Trash Dumpsters (Arkansas after FReep Report)
November 3, 2002 | Arkansas Hog Wild FReepers

Posted on 11/03/2002 6:07:39 PM PST by sweetliberty

We have just returned to Budge's house to do the FReep report because there is a lot of information to report.

In attendance were Budge, Travelgirl, The Battman, parsifal, Don Frivoinai, sweetliberty, and another FReeper who, for reasons you will come to understand shortly, needs to remain anonymous until after the election.

We arrived at Budge's around noon to get everything set up for the maiden FReep of the Arkansas Hog Wild FReepers and the FReepmobile. We got to the site around quarter after 1 and finished up some signs and headed over to the convention center to await the arrival of XXX42 and his horde of Rats. There we were joined by several folks from the Hutchinson campaign and there were quite a few folks who came down from Mount Ida. There ended up being about 30 of us on the outside.

During the wait, we were informed of quite a few "questionable" things going on. For starters, there was one young man who is active with Tim Hutchinson's campaign who was threatened with arrest if he didn't leave the premises. He had done nothing to provoke this action other than they knew who he was. One of the FReepers who is a poll watcher was also threatened with arrest when she tried to go inside the convention center. Another young man who is a Hutchinson aide had a ticket to the event and because he had been seen talkiing to the "opposition" he was not allowed in, being told that it was a private event and they could exclude whoever they wanted to. There was also a group of black folks who were with us so this young man passed his ticket to one of the black guys, who removed all his campaign stuff and went in incognito, laughing saying that they'd never suspect a black guy. Will give you his report later.

Nobody would tell us what door Clinton would be entering by so we took a chance and hung out on one side of the building where they said the car would drive by. True to form, XXX42 was late by nearly an hour. But here is the great part. We were positioned between 2 entrances. One was a major side entrance. The other was a small, fenced-in service entrance by the garbage dumpsters. Well, guess which one he used. Think....which would be most appropriate. Yep, you guessed it. The snake slithered in through the garbage entrance. And he got a look at our signs. It was a classic moment in FReeperdom.

There was a whopping 500 people or so there for the "event". There were few enough people that there was a Jehovah's Witness convention going on in the building at the same time. When Clinton arrived the Jehovah's Witnesses started leaving. At that time we didn't realize that there was another event going on and Travelgirl and The Battman asked one of the cops on duty why everyone was leaving. He responded, "if Clinton entered a room, what would YOU do?" When the Jehovah's Witnesses left, the parking lot started clearing out.

Anyway, we may have to flesh in this post after we all get home because there is a lot to tell, but there is certain information that it is very important to get out there NOW! Back to our "spy". When he came out, he said they were running it like a church service, and the whole focus was on how the evil Republicans are trying to keep them from voting. They were saying that we have all the poll watchers this election to prevent THEM from voting. Now, here is the clencher. They were told that there would be attorneys posted at every precinct to prevent poll watchers from challenging ANY ballots. Now, mind you, one of our poll watchers has already had massive problems with them at the polls during early voting the past couple of weeks and has been advised to retain an attorney. They have had the sherriff remove her from the polls twice when she had done nothing inappropriate...only challenging ballots for improper or no ID. There is an all out campaign by these people to intimidate the poll watchers and then turn around and accuse us of voter intimidation. This is serious and at least one person has some legitimate fear. I can't really elaborate at this point. The reason we wanted to get this up right away is to get other FReepers on the case to get this publicized and contact appropriate media, political and legal sources to alert them that Republican poll watchers in this county are likely to be facing an organized, all-out Rat attack. Any help that FReepers can offer is needed!! Make phone calls, send letters. Whatever you can do. Post your ideas as well.

Along the line of what you were addressing the other day, we need to go on the offensive and get the message out there that poll watchers are being intimidated by black activist groups. If only the media would report the truth This really needs to be put front and center if we are going to avoid this kind of problem next time around, and like you said, the time to address it is before it comes down to a tiebreaker being in a state where fraud is rampant and addressing it then. They need to get used to the idea that we're onto them and will not tolerate it any more and start filing charges of our own, putting THEM on the defensive.

Meeting was great. You have an "admirer". I assume you got my FReepmail. Java the Hutt was very disappointed that he didn't get to meet the mysterious and conniving parsifal. Hehehe...

I agree about filing suit. Can we sue for disenfranchisement? How about working with Hutchinson...does he have the moxey to pursue this?

Don't know about Hutchinson, and given the issue that was made of his divorce he probably isn't the best one to pursue it. I guess I am thinking more in terms of having some back-up out there for poll watchers and meeting intimidation tactics such as the ones that stop_the_rats had to put up with with complaints and court actions of our own. It really wouldn't hurt to have a few just lawyers in our corner for just such an eventuality. It isn't like we are trying to do what they accuse us of. We just want to restore integrity to the process and they do not want to allow it, and that is where the focus should be.

Don't forget - I believe she said that there was a stack of those "how to vote" samples on the table INSIDE the polling facility.

I wasn't clear on if they were inside the polling place already or if they were carried in by the NAACP gang. Do you remember?

Thanks for the update, sweetliberty; wow, str, I do not envy your position, but you are to be admired....hopefully you will not have to endure, on top of all this, lawsuits. But, I would rather each of us to endure lawsuits, than to stand by and let the lying RATS take over. This reminds me, really, of the Christian persecution which the Russian people had to endure under communism.....incredible, unthinkable, yet, real.

My God, what a story. Let her know we appreciate her courage in the face of evil. We'll also pray for the safety of her son. How can we help?

She was truly a trooper on the front lines against the viciousness of the Rats and their attempts to railroad yet another election.

I told her I thought that since the NAACP gestapo had seen fit to make a national issue of it, that she should follow suit by leveling her own complaints against them for their intimidation tactics. I think at issue is not IF there is intimidation, but WHO is being intimidated. I am not too familiar with the heirarchy of authority of the parties, so I'm not really sure where she should take the complaints, but I do think she should take them somewhere and any suggestions based on knowledge of who could effectively address the problem would likely be a good place to start. It would be nice to get a jump on these kind of tactics BEFORE the next election.

Chris Cox is a really nice guy....great conservative. Give his office a call and ask where to start. (Maybe even with him?)

Since I don't know exactly how to answer that question you posed to me....here's his web page. I've been in his office, he's a class act. As is his staff. I don't know if he can help, but I betcha if not, he'd send you in the right direction.

Many of you have not seen this. While this happened in Arkansas, I beg you to read the origional post, and since there are so many responses, jump to post 626 for a continuation of the fraud and intimidation happening, probably not just in Arkansas.

GOPJ asked, "How can we help," Sweetliberty answered in part, I am not too familiar with the heirarchy of authority of the parties, so I'm not really sure where she should take the complaints, but I do think she should take them somewhere and any suggestions based on knowledge of who could effectively address the problem would likely be a good place to start. [See post 652]

Some of you may have seen at least one of these media reports on Hannity & Colmes where "voter intimidation in Jefferson County, Arkansas" was hit hard by Colmes.

If someone could contact Hannity so stop_the_rats side could be heard, as it should, would help immensely.

Sean was at a great disadvantage when Alan Colmes brought this up. He obviously knew nothing about our [stop_the_rats] side of this. The RATS were on top of this like a cat on a Junebug. Now WE need to beat them at their own game!
