That's what I want!!

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.
That's what I want!!
While I can certainly understand your considering dropping it altogether, it will just get them back into position to do the thing again when we also have the presidency at stake. Are you ready for another lying, cheating Rat president? I'm certainly not. The thought of having a Rat in charge before these terrorists are neutralized scares me to death. I certainly don't envy your position, but if there is anything I can do please let me know.
Parsy, I know this isn't your specialty, but can you offer any advice. Chris? Did you do any studies into election law. Could be a real busy field in the future. 
As far as who to file complaints against I would suggest finding out who the NAACP ringleader was who was intimidating you as well as the clerk who was in violation of election rules in refusing to allow you to do your job. Did I understand you correctly that the election clerk is a member of the NAACP. If that is the case, would that constitute a conflict of interests? I would also make a complaint against the journalist who is reporting false information about you. And I'm thinking that since Trey Ashcraft is the point of dissemination of most of the misinformation that he should be on your list as well.
I'm not sure who you would make the complaints to. You might contact the state attorney's office to ask. I know there are channels regarding the clerk/election worker, but since Rats seem to be largely in charge of the channels, I'm not sure how you would get around it. I would also reiterate whatever you have told the election commision in writing.
Regarding the NAACP and the newspaper, I'm hoping we can get some input about this from others who are more knowledgeable in the legal field. I also know there are conservative and Christian advocacy organizations around who take on these anti-American liberal outfits like the NAACP. Again I hope the ping will turn up someone who has had some experience with this. I will do a little research too.
You might start by writing a letter to whoever owns the newpaper, although I'm not sure how much good it will do seeing's how it is liberal and therefore also in Rat domain. Whatever written communication you have, document it well and get as many names of as many people involved as you can. Since this information was sent out to many national newpapers, you might also write letters to the editors of those papers. If need be, we will start another thread to address this issue.
Can some of you offer any suggestions to stop_the_rats on whom she should file complaints with or do any of y'all have any legal types on your ping lists? Does anybody know how to make a complaint against the NAACP operatives?
Surprisingly, the Arkansas Democrat Gazette seems to be a fairly conservative paper and is read statewide. STR, have you written to them? They did endorse Tim Hutchinson and obviously had no love for Pryor based on remarks made about him.
I hope he is. It's time we send these Rats back to the sewer where they belong.
