Letter To AFL-CIO President John Sweeney
Mr. John Sweeney
President
AFL-CIO
815 16th Street, N.W.
Washington , DC 20006
October 11, 2004
Dear Mr. Sweeney:
Over the past several weeks, acts of violence and vandalism have occurred at Republican and Bush-Cheney campaign headquarters across the country. In addition to the injuries, property damage and disruption associated with these acts, these events have created a threatening and intimidating atmosphere abhorrent to our democratic process.
On October 5th, according to news reports, witnesses, police reports and admissions of your members, the AFL-CIO, as part of a national strategy, protested at more than a dozen of our campaign and party headquarters across the country. In many locations, the protestors attempted to enter, or entered, campaign or party facilities. As one protestor said, "Actually, we're storming into an office." In Orlando , Florida, injuries and damage were sustained. Protestors forced their way into the facility, fracturing the arm of one staffer, and vandalized the office. In Michigan, protestors entered a headquarters and engaged in activities apparently intended to disrupt volunteers trying to make phone calls.
Protests by your organization come on the heels of several other incidents at Bush-Cheney '04 offices around the country, including a break-in at our Seattle office where laptop computers were stolen from the Washington State Bush-Cheney ’04 executive director and the state Republican Party 72-hour director. Just last night in Canton , Ohio, a Bush-Cheney '04 staffer was forced to lock herself in an office while another break-in was in progress. The facility was seriously damaged and property was stolen. Additionally, gun shots have been fired into Bush-Cheney '04 offices in West Virginia, Florida and Tennessee, windows broken in West Virginia and campaign staffers threatened. In Wisconsin, a supporter of the President had a swastika burned into his front yard simply because he had a Bush-Cheney '04 lawn sign. We urge your support in helping us ensure the safety of all individuals working on our campaign and others as we are making every effort to secure the safety of all participants in the political process.
I hope you will put an end to protest activities that have led to injuries, property damage, vandalism and voter intimidation. We will hold you and your organization accountable for the actions of your members and urge you to immediately discontinue any coordinated protest efforts that result in damage to our facilities, or injury to people who may hold different political views than your members, but who share an equal right to be involved in the political process without suffering violence, intimidation and threats.
Respectfully,
Gov. Marc Racicot , Bush-Cheney '04 Campaign Chairman
The AFL-CIO apparently doesn't have Digital Brownshirts. They've got the real thing.
THUG BUMP
AS BAD AS THAT IS... Have U Seen This one?

November Surprise
October 5, 2004
With voter registration deadlines approaching in many states, it’s show time for certain political operatives tasked with getting out the vote.
In Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties in the battleground state of Florida — a voter registration drive is underway, targeting "pre-trial detainees." Among those signed up: individuals accused of armed carjacking, robbery, and worse. Since they haven’t been convicted — yet — they’re eligible to vote. The NAALCP has even conducted voter registration operations in county jails with full cooperation from local officials. This movement has a name too, it’s called: "Jail-based voting." And I kid you not.
Now Florida isn’t alone. Members of the criminal class — excuse me, the "suspect class" — have also been registered in Albany, NY, Washington DC, Cleveland, Baltimore and Nashville. Wonder which political party these criminals — excuse me, suspects — which party will they choose.
Meanwhile, Justice Department and Florida state cops are investigating widespread allegations of criminal vote fraud. Thousands of invalid Democrat voter registration cards were turned in, while boxes containing cards filled out to register Republicans were not. A field director for one group, ACORN, admits, "There was a lot of fraud committed." He says "quality control" workers routinely kicked back Republican voter registrations while paying for Democratic ones.
Meanwhile, on Sunday John Kerry told a black audience, again, that Republicans were trying to "suppress" their vote, in counties run by Democrats! You beginning to get the picture of what’s coming next month, folks? You've been warned.
Should have sent it to the FEC
And has anyone heard a peep about this from the lamestream media?
I'd have added one more paragraph, listing all of the CCW states and informing him that personnel are being urged to protect lives and property from criminals.
Maybe Mr. Sweeney needs to hear that from......us?
Man oh man are they reverting to Nazi-thug like actions.
I don't know - I don't listen to them ------ but I doubt it.
And they compare W to Hitler.
Pretty much captures all the stuff we've discussed here. Nice job! Thanks!
Every time I mention it I get a visit from the SS.
Oooooooooo, an angry letter. The Union is shaking in its boots.
OCTOBER SURPRISE AD:
Political Operative Veterans Against George W. Bush (POVAGWB) Meeting: Mr. Kerry Reports (Serious Parody):
“When I attended a POVAGWB meeting recently, I heard testimony from Campaign Operative Veterans that they had:
• Cut off the locks and bashed in doors of regional Republic Campaign Headquarters
• Raped and defiled various Republican office machines
• Randomly shot weapons into Republican Campaign Headquarters
• Defiled US Mail delivered to the Republican Regional Campaign Headquarters
• Razed Republican campaign offices across the country in the manner reminiscent of Genghis Kahn
• Had bleeding gums reminiscent of gingivitis
• Destroyed foodstuffs found in campaign office refrigerators
• Raised the dead and forced them into voting booths
• Kicked their dogs
• Urinated on Republican campaign signs
• Used large union thugs to destroy GWB campaign signs held by three-year-old girls
• Told story after story of falsely accusing Republicans the gruesome act of denying minorities the right to vote
• Committed other violent campaign atrocities under the tacit control and support of the DNC commanders”
Mr. Kerry denies being at a DNC meeting where these tactics were discussed and planned, but witness say he was there. Others are accusing him of meeting with Carl Rove in an attempt to end the campaign early and declare GWB the winner.
