The NAACP has launched a voter registration drive in a county jail in Tennessee, a state where convicted felons lose their right to vote unless they make an application for reinstatement. The unorthodox voter registration drive, first uncovered by Nashville 99.7 WTN radio host Phil Valentine, was confirmed on Wednesday by Karla Crocker, spokeswoman for Sheriff Daron Hall, who oversees the city's Davidson County jail. "Just like any other organization that would come to us wanting to register people to vote, we allow those organizations into our facilities," Crocker told NewsMax.com. But so far, the only organization to attempt to...

Amid the bong sales, the drug-reform speeches and a certain aroma that permeated the annual pro-marijuana festival yesterday, Hempfest was also a venue for another cause: getting John Kerry to the White House. Regulars who attend the two-day festival to hear the usual cry of "legalize marijuana" also found organizers campaigning to get pot users to vote for Kerry. About 100 Democratic activists passed out Kerry/Edwards buttons and stickers and tried to register voters yesterday at the 13th annual gathering at Myrtle Edwards Park along Seattle's waterfront. With an expected 150,000 visitors over two days, Hempfest is billed as one...

John Kerry has racked up three more "endorsements" from Latin America. Since Mr. Kerry says that as president he will be more engaged with the region, his Latin fan club deserves some attention. The most eye-popping Kerry endorsement last week came from Tómas Borge, one of the nine commandantes of Nicaragua's famed Sandinista revolution and perhaps the most feared. ... Mr. Borge of course has reason to like Mr. Kerry. The Massachusetts senator went to Nicaragua in 1985 to meet the Soviet-backed Sandinista leadership and worked hard in the U.S. Senate against President Reagan's efforts to defend U.S. security interests...

ACT (Americans Coming Together) just called me for a phone survey. ACT is the outfit that hired ex-cons to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives until their covers were pulled.Anyway, this lady asked me who I was going to vote for, how strongly I felt about my choice, was there any chance in hell I would vote for Kerry, which national issue I thought was most pressing, etc. At the end of the conversation she thanked me and I told her to hold on, I had a question for her. I asked her if ACT was the organization that hired ex-cons...

If Dems want honest elections, why did a Soros-backed group hire criminals to get out the vote? When the Associated Press last week turned up evidence that America Coming Together, an anti-Bush group funded by $5 million from financier George Soros, had hired dozens of felons to go door-to-door and register voters in Florida, Missouri and Ohio, the defensive fire from ACT was swift and predictable. First, ACT claimed it hadn't employed violent felons. Then when the AP reported that ACT employees included people convicted of assault and sex offenses, the group admitted it might also have hired felons in...

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A Democratic group crucial to John Kerry's presidential campaign has paid felons - some convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary - to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives in at least three election swing states. America Coming Together, contending that convicted criminals deserve a second chance in society, employs felons as voter canvassers in major metropolitan areas in Missouri, Florida, Ohio and perhaps in other states among the 17 it is targeting in its drive. Some of the felons lived in halfway houses, and at least four returned to prison. ACT canvassers ask residents which issues...

I had an interesting encounter today while at my sil's house. First, let me start by saying that we were out in very rural Ohio visiting my sil. As we were leaving, 2 college age men came by with "Americans Coming Together" shirts on knocking at my sil's door. Big deal, right. The dems had their stooges out hitting the pavement trying to muster up votes. Well, here is the big deal about it... They come up to the door as we were leaving, asking for my sil's oldest daughter BY NAME! This girl does not attend college, does not...

Just call this ``Why Americans Hate Politics II.'' Yes, voter registration drives are a noble effort. Many communities - this one included - attempt to make that process as easy as possible. Candidates and organizations with a cause encourage those efforts as best they can. And then along comes a gang like America Coming Together - ah, such a noble name even. The group is dedicated to ousting George W. Bush from the White House. While legally it cannot be affiliated with the Kerry campaign, ACT does include some past Kerry advisers. Now nothing wrong with any of this -...

June 26, 2004 -- Crackheads for Kerry? Turns out that stranger knocking on the door urging you to register to vote — and asking for such personal data as your driver's license and Social Security numbers — may be a convicted drug dealer, or maybe even a rapist. He may even still be living in a halfway house, fresh from prison — and now he wants to enlist you in the effort to defeat President Bush in November. Just fill in his form, please. It's all brought to you by George Soros, the Hungarian-born hedge-fund gazillionaire and anti-Bush zealot who...

THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE From Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A Democratic group crucial to Sen. John F.

The Bush-hating group that the Boston Herald dubbed "Crooks for Kerry" has caved to pressure and now says it won't send violent employees door to door. The divisive outfit, which comically calls itself "America Coming Together," claimed that since spring (which ended just a few days ago) its "policy has been that we're not going to employ violent felons," said mouthpiece Mo Elliethee. "We're going to conduct this background check to ensure we're not." The Associated Press blew the whistle on the group after discovering that it had hired felons - guilty of sex crimes, assault, burglary and other serious...

That Boston Herald, ya gotta love it. "Crooks for Kerry: Lefty group hires ex-cons to canvass" was how Sen. John Kerry's hometown paper today headlined his latest embarrassment. Of course it's obvious that the Bush-hating groups campaigning for Kerry and staffed with former Kerry handlers are on the same page as the Democrat presidential candidate, but he's still trying to maintain the illusion that he's as ignorant of them as he is of, say, basic economics. "The Kerry campaign cannot coordinate [with them], it's against the law," the Herald quoted Kerry mouthpiece Michael Meehan as saying. "We don't know...
