Please see update post #626 and several others following regarding NAACP going after FReeper poll watcher ("stop_the_rats)......potential lawsuits......McAuliffe made calls and is possibly involved...DEVELOPING.....
p.s.: Sorry if you've been double-pinged. (Please let me know via FReepmail if you are not interested in updates. Thanks)
Easy link: Hannity@foxnews.com
Budge has pinged quite a few; what I will do is send a direct link to #626 in the mass email I'm working up right now. It will go out in a while to editors, letters to editors, talk show hosts, and some others. It will get widely distributed.
Speaking for the rest of us, thank you!
I still haven't learned how to link to a specific post.
It is very simple really. It is simply a matter of contacting either the Republican headquarters or the campaign headquarters of a particular candidate. You are provided with a brief training session and given an affadavit authorizing you as a poll watcher which you present at the polls when you arrive. You are also provided with a packet of information on what you can and can't do.
One of the things that I find interesting is that in these "questionable" areas, not only in Arkansas, but other states as well, it is Republican poll watchers who are having complaints leveled at them. Now, this is interesting for two reasons. 1) The democrats are entitled to poll watchers under the same guidelines as the Republicans but in most cases that I am aware of, failed to provide any. Why? Hmmmmm.... 2)The vast majority of people going to the polls would likely not even know who they were or what their job was and most of those who did would not know if they were democrat or Republican. It is not like we wear a sign. The only ones who would know would likely be the poll workers themselves to whom the credentials are presented, so how come it is outsiders leveling the charges?
It's very easy Budge. Just click on the number of the post and when the page loads, copy and past the url from the address bar. :-)
Backhoe, thanks for helping get the word out!
Sweetliberty did an excellent job when posting STR's experience. However, as SL said in the #626 post, "Others can fill in what she might have missed."
STR then posted a very important addition when she stated (in # 662), "I think, one of the main points of interest in this story is, the person who put this story out, wasn't even there, he (Trey Ashcraft) is also the chairman of the democrat party in Jefferson County, which Alan C. did not report."
My point in this is, as horrible and frightening as STR's story is, to actually hear her side is unbelievable! There is so much that has been left out, so far.

Click on the "688" and the full web address will appear ( after a short delay ) in your browser's "address" box, and your browser will also take you to that reply.
You can either make a link with the a href stuff, manually... or you can do a simple "cheat" to get the html code.
Keep an Outlook Express "new mail" blank email box open ( minmized when you aren't working with it )... hilite, copy, and paste the web addy from the address box to there, go back and copy whatever text you need ( or just type your own description ) and then in the "new mail" box, hit the "source" tab-- there's the HTML. Copy & paste or store.
That is so true, RG! That is why we must start NOW to prevent this from happening next election. We only have two years to get the word out and organized!
I have to ask, now that the election is over, did you check their pulse? LOL!
