SPECIAL ELECTION UPDATE It's Day 13 of the Election 2000 hostage crisis... Al Gore is betting that the Florida Supremes, all seven of whom are Democrat appointees, will provide him the "controlling legal authority" he needs to force Florida Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, to accept subjective hand recounts from a few select Demo strongholds. Friday, the Supremes enjoined Harris from certifying president-elect George Bush's victory, notably, before anyone had even asked them to do so, thus, according to the Wall Street Journal, "achieving the rare trifecta of overruling all three branches of Florida government at once." Not only has ...

"The probability of being struck by lightning is about one in a million. The same person would have to be hit by lightning 30 times to compare with what we've seen in this recount. A recount is a ...

You responded: "Well, Milosevic has lost the election. His opponent, Kostunica, has won the election. I think we should support the people of Yugoslavia and ...

______--------********O********--------______ OPINION IN BRIEF Talking Points: Everything you ever wanted to know about the first attempted "coup d'état" in North America since 1776 -- but were afraid to ask.... Who would have thought the office of President of the United States could have been defiled further than its debased status under Bill Clinton's reign of lawlessness? Well, if nothing else can be said of Albert Gore's ability to vitiate the office without ever being elected to it, he's certainly an overachiever! To understand the most salient issues of Gore's Florida campaign strategy, our staff of seasoned political analysts have assembled ...

I am writing and calling all my congressmen and several newpapers today stating that I will consider any gore adminstration to be an illegal adminstration and any action they take is null and void! How to practice the this is a difficult question. But it is my intention to give a heads up to these people that we freedom lovers will not sit back and allow this to happen without consquenses. They must be opposed at every turn.

From: Don Evans, Chairman, Bush-Cheney Campaign This is an urgent message to supporters of Governor George W. Bush and Secretary Dick Cheney regarding the situation in Florida. It is now clear we must raise money to fund the recount effort in Florida. Governor Bush won the vote on Election Day, a victory confirmed by a recount. Now, the other side is seeking yet a third count by hand. There is a reason why ballots are counted by computer and not by hand. The expense of the recount effort must be funded immediately. Please send a check in any amount that ...

PUBLISHED FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2000Dade County, Postal Service join local voter fraud probe By Scott Streater News Journal staff writer State prosecutors in Pensacola are stepping up efforts to unravel a potentially widespread voter fraud scheme as the world watches to see who will be the next U.S. president based on a recount of Florida ballots. At issue is an absentee ballot mailed to a Pensacola voter in Miami that was intercepted, filled out and mailed back to voting officials in Escambia County. The voter's signature was forged, and the name and address of a witness on the ballot was ...

Folks, The Chattanooga rally this morning was an incredible event! 10,0000-12,000 folk in an event that was far bigger than they thought. We arrived at 7:30 am and the line was already so long that we did not get in till 9:00 when it started. I admit to getting teary eyed when Lee Greenwood sang "Proud to be an American" and more excited than I have been in a long time whne W's plane touched down. With my 5 year old on my shoulders and eyes on the 8 and 14 year olds, we stationed ourselves at the barricades than ...

SECOND OPINION THE LIBERAL CASE STUDY -- ONE BIG DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY "A developing child in a dysfunctional family searches his parent's face for signals that he is whole and all is right with the world; when he finds no such approval, he begins to feel that something is wrong inside. And because he doubts his worth and authenticity, he begins controlling his inner experience -- smothering spontaneity, masking emotion, diverting creativity into robotic routine, and distracting an awareness of all he is missing with an unconvincing replica of what he might have been." --Al Gore in his epoch diatribe, "Earth ...

SPECIAL EDITION -- E-DAY 2000 (Editor's Note: Today's Digest provides comprehensive campaign coverage necessitating its increased length. If you are printing this edition, we highly recommend you use the PDF or printer-friendly HTML link above.) If Republicans can muster enough votes next Tuesday to elect George Bush as its next president, that will be a rather remarkable achievement. Conservatives have been demoralized for the last 8 years -- some would say 12 years -- in the absence of the strong leadership and voice Ronald Reagan provided. To make matters worse, the mass media have never let its relentless advocacy of ...

After the meeting, Clinton announced a cease-fire -- which gave the Palestinians ample time to reload.   Doing his part to look "presidential," Albert Arnold Gore took a couple of hours off the campaign trail to "assist" Clinton with ...

Subject: What Tennesseans think of Al Gore When I ask my friends and neighbors here in Rhea County,Tennessee whether they plan to support Al Gore, they invariably look at their feet, clear their throats and mumble a reply. Sometimes they say, "No, I don't think so." Other times, with great discomfort, they say,"Yeah, probably." Regardless of the response, I was bewildered at the sense of embarrassment that the mention of Al Gore's name brings. You see, Al Gore represented our district in the House of Representatives since the tender age of 28. He was one of Tennessee's senators for 8 ...

But it was chock full o' missed opportunities for George Bush to make the clear case for freedom and liberty. (Apparently, Mr. Bush's handlers did not pay attention to the Tuesday Brief's section listing the questions and zingers our readers wanted to hear George W. pin on Albert Gore.) Before commenting on Bush v. Gore -- more specifically Albert Gore's "facts" -- ...

Battleground 2000 gives Bush 41, Gore 37. Rasmussen Research gives Bush 44, Gore 41. CNN/USA Today/Gallup, a media poll, gives Gore 48, Bush 44.   So why is it that most Americans are inundated with the hit-and-miss media polls du jour -- all of which seem to indicate that Albert Gore has already won the ...

Americans Must First Want Freedom Colonel Dan - Posted: 09.01.00 “Yes, we did produce a near perfect republic, but will they keep it, or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom?”     ~ Thomas Jefferson ~ I got an email from a Libertarian Party official the other day that supports a long held theory of mine--not all Americans really want freedom or even know what it is!  To ardently demand and preserve freedom, you must know what it is, be dedicated to its principles and willing to accept the individual responsibility that comes with it—simply ...
