The following open letter to General Kofi Annan, United Nations from Jim Hogue, Vermont talk show host?, was published May 24, 2004 in the Boston Chronicle:
"Open Letter to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan"
"Dear Mr. Annan:
I request UN observers to watch our elections: to examine the software (including the firm ware) that runs US voting systems, and to make sure that the vote totals are not tampered with, and to report any voting that is not secure or auditable.
As the head of Vermonters for Voting Integrity, and an author of Vermont law S.202 (banning electronic voting), I am writing to request that the UN consider sending election observers to the United States. This should be debated openly in light of the massive fraud that has been committed here, especially during and since the 2000 elections
Any system of collecting data must be auditable. Any accountant or bookkeeper from Bangkok to Santiago knows this. But some election officials (and supposed voting rights groups) in the U.S. are either too corrupt or too incompetent to understand this most basic principle of data collection..."
Thankyou.
only crooks need hired guns ... thats why the dems want the UN
#243. Yeah, that typical of the demoCommiecRATS!!!!
The clerk/intern was very pleased to give the names to me when I explained that I wanted to call the other people to thank them. He never quite realized that I never said to say thank you to Johnson.
#241. Sounds like the dims want the Ultimate Nonsense to cook the books in the election, the dim way!!!!
These traitorous moonbats need to be hounded out of office and publicly disgraced until they are reduced to sleeping under bridges and begging outside porn theaters for a living.
Their opponents could run commercials with a narrator reading their letter to the UN, while the screen shows clips of previous UN efforts with the words "UN in action" overlayed: a mass grave in Bosnia, massacred children in Rwanda, buildings on fire in Mogadishu, terrorists celebrating 9-11 in UN-run Palestinian "refugee camps."
She is in the Dallas area.
Eaker is out of town this weekend with humblegunner, playing working at Deer Camp North.
Where can I find this information?
Start at Google
With todays democRats, the legitimate requirement is long overdue.
If McKinney of GA were still in office I'd bet on her being one of them.
UN observer = target. (+)
THx for the list
I haven't recorded B4R's posting history, but I'm not sure what you're referring to on this thread as nutty, dishonest, and opportunist--not to mention tangential whacko propaganda.
The references to various UN attacks on our sovereignty via treaties are true, documented, and hardly tangential to the subject of this thread--which is EBJ & Co.'s attempts to further erode our sovereignty in favor of the UN.
It is true there are no Republicans on this letter to the UN, but there is a history of certain turncoat Rs supporting the various treaties. We need to keep them in line and replace them with better people IMO.
If you're questioning his suspicions of President George W. Bush being just as much a globalist as his father, then challenge B4R on that point.
DBrow has challenged B4R on cites for quotes. Both the challenges and the responses have been civil and revealing. Both made points.
If you're referring to B4R's statement that both parties are working for the NWO, I would agree that it goes too far, but it's not completely untrue. I would say that almost the whole Rat party is working for that and some of the Republican party. The quantification of "some" can be argued with, but it's pretty tough to state that their are NO Republican turncoats IMO.
Check his posting history. It covers the gamut, but always is highly critical of President Bush, invariably inserting some anti-immigration mantra, often in threads totally unrelated to the topic of illegal immigration. SPAM is SPAM, and Bush-bashing is Bush-bashing. There is a pattern.
Frankly I see little difference between b4ranch and MurryMom, other than that he doesn't flee quite as quickly.
Diddle E. Squat,
Is it the fact that I do not adore ANY politician that gets you upset, let alone the President? Since President Bush is our Leader, he and you should expect that my criticisms will be directed to him not to a bureaucrat 4 or 14 levels below him.
Your adoration for the President is beyond me. I have never loved any of them! Because in my mind, they are never doing 'everything' correctly. The fact that the President is doing a disgustingly sick job with our natinal border security doesn't seem to phase you. It does me, big time!
If you love the man so much, why not write him a letter and tell him what criticisms he is receiving from other people. Mqaybe he'll listen to you but he's ignored my immigration policy concerns. So, until he stops allowing 1000 illegals a night to sneak into Arizona through Cochise County you and him should expect to see my "constant bashing".
You might notice in this thread I accused some of the letter signatories as being Republican. After a call to EB Johnson's DC office I found this to be untrue. I stated the facts and said I was wrong. What more can I do?
Also let the local papers know.
This is part of what I meant as civil and rational challenges and responses. It's what makes us so very much better than the other side IMO.
B4R, there are things President Bush has done that I also deeply disagree with (some of the Rat type spending like free prescription drugs) and some things that scare me (like the border issues and the alleged support of LOST and some other UN related stuff--although he has done a great job of thwarting the UN too, such as rejecting Kyoto, World Court, ridiculing and exposing them on the Iraq issue...).
I will vote for him again with a clear conscience because I truly believe that he is the best choice of what is currently possible for USA.
If what you are saying is that we can get further faster when all of us agree in part, meeting halfway on the critical issues, and then move forward in combined effort toward our highest priorities, then you deserve a round of applause. :-)
