Thank you for those Freepers who rallied with us to show support for Anton Srdanovic's run for NY's 14th Congressional seat. We told New Yorkers we will not stand for Rep.Maloney and her group of Democrats who want us kneel to the UN during our elections. Anton Srdanovic announced July 21, 2004 that he has filed to run for Congress on the Republican ticket in the 14th district of New York City. Unopposed in the primary, Anton is running against incumbent Democrat Carolyn Maloney. Anton led a rally at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza opposing Rep.Maloney's request for UN election monitors...

WASHINGTON – Undaunted by Kofi Annan's rejection of a plan for United Nations monitoring of the U.S. presidential elections this fall, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-TX, is taking her case to Secretary of State Colin Powell. Johnson has urgently asked Powell to make an official request that the U.N. provide observers for the Nov. 2 elections in the United States to "ensure free and fair elections." Thirteen Democratic congressmen, led by Johnson, sent a letter July 8 to the U.N. general secretary requesting the presence of U.N. representatives in every county of the country during the voting process and any...

House Republicans view a recent move by 11 Democrats to have United Nations observers monitor U.S. elections as a politically motivated stunt, and last week they moved to nip the idea in the bud. But after an unusually rancorous skirmish that brought proceedings on the House floor to a standstill late Thursday, the issue may have received more publicity than even Democrats hoped for. It pitted Rep. Steve Buyer (R-Ind.), author of an amendment to the 2005 foreign aid bill aimed at blocking U.N. involvement in U.S. elections, against Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.), who had harsh words for Buyer. Buyer...

July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan election authorities invited 24 international celebrities, including Barbra Streisand and Nelson Mandela, to observe a recall vote against President Hugo Chavez Aug. 15. The group of invited observers also includes U.S. actor Danny Glover, Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez and U.S. presidential candidate Ralph Nader, the National Electoral Council said in a statement. None of the invited observers has confirmed their attendance, a council spokeswoman said.

Former President Jimmy Carter will arrive in Venezuela on Aug. 11 to oversee preparations for a vote on President Hugo Chavez's rule. Jennifer McCoy, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based Carter Center, said Carter would head the center's team of international election observers for the Aug. 15 vote and election preparations.

WASHINGTON -- After years of watering down voting laws to the point where it is considered a civil rights violation in several states for a poll worker to ask to see a license or proof of residency, some Democrats have suddenly reversed course. They want to bring in United Nations observers to ensure a "free and fair" election in the United States. The letter to Kofi Annan, authored by Texas Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson and co-signed by seven other Dems in the House, complains that as the next election approaches, "there is more cause for alarm rather than less" and...

July 14, 2004 -- Does anyone really think it would be useful to have the United Nations oversee the American elections this year ("An Insult to America," Editorial, July 12)? [snip] Manhattan The action of 13 House Democrats — requesting international observers from the corrupt and discredited United Nations to oversee our presidential election — is mind-boggling. Furthermore, Democrats refuse to acknowledge that their attempts to discredit the results of the last election have failed. No matter how the liberal media tried to recount every last vote to show that Gore really did win the election in 2000, they...

AMERICAN democracy needs help. Millions of citizens have become disengaged from our democracy. Too many Americans think that those in power do not value their views, that the system is rigged against people like them, and that therefore participating in electoral politics is not worth their efforts. More than half of eligible US voters routinely decline to vote in our presidential elections. The irregularities of the 2000 presidential election deepened the public's disillusionment as the technical competence and basic fairness of our voting procedures were suddenly cast into doubt. Four years later, unease about the basic mechanics of democracy is...

Partisan politics stooped to a new low just before Independence Day when nine Democratic members of Congress asked the United Nations to intercede as an observer in the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Spearheaded by U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, the group signed a letter directed to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan that, according to WorldNetDaily.com, stated in part: "We are deeply concerned that the right of U.S. citizens to vote in free and fair elections is again in jeopardy." Our freedoms would be in jeopardy if Johnson & Co. gained any semblance of congressional power and allowed a U.S. election...

Wednesday, July 7, 2004 Treason in Congress Posted: July 7, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern By Joseph Farah © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com A few days ago, America marked a special day not only in the history of this country, but in the history of the world. It was the first time a group of people were willing to sacrifice everything – their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor – for independence from a foreign power and the right to govern themselves. Amazingly, just a few days before that, nine members of the U.S. Congress – sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States...

WASHINGTON – The United Nations has turned down a controversial request by nine members of the U.S. Congress to assign international observers to the U.S. presidential election in November. The request came in the form of a letter drafted by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, and signed by eight other members of the House. "We are deeply concerned that the right of U.S. citizens to vote in free and fair elections is again in jeopardy," the lawmakers wrote to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Besides Johnson, the other representatives signing the letter to Annan – all Democrats – were Julia Carson...

America is doomed to suffer ever-escalating acts of political inanity until the November election. The assault on our collective intelligence by Hollywood and the media should end then, but some Dems are planning to continue it on into 2005. To do this, they are turning to the self-appointed international arbiter of honesty and democracy, the United Nations. The liberals' bitterness in their defeat in 2000 hasn't abated one little bit. It wasn't cured by Howard Dean's primal scream therapy or by Michael Moore's movie. This bitterness has festered and metastasized into an anti-Bush obsession that will only end with...

Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson Recalling the contentious Florida vote count in 2000, the lawmakers urged the international body to "ensure free and fair elections in America," said a statement by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, who spearheaded the effort, Agence France-Presse reported. The letter was signed by nine members of Congress. "As lawmakers, we must assure the people of America that our nation will not experience the nightmare of the 2000 presidential...

Democrats want U.N. to keep an eye on presidential election By Todd J. Gillman Knight Ridder News Service WASHINGTON -- A group of congressional Democrats led by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas has asked the United Nations to monitor this year's presidential election. "We are deeply concerned that the right of U.S. citizens to vote in free and fair elections is again in jeopardy," the lawmakers wrote to Secretary-General Kofi Annan. While the request might evoke images of blue-helmeted peacekeepers outside the local library, the request won't be granted. "Generally, the United Nations does not intervene in electoral affairs...

Fri Jul 2, 2:22 AM ET WASHINGTON (AFP) - Several members of the House of Representatives have requested the United Nations to send observers to monitor the November 2 US presidential election to avoid a contentious vote like in 2000, when the outcome was decided by Florida. Recalling the long, drawn out process in the southern state, nine lawmakers, including four blacks and one Hispanic, sent a letter Thursday to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) asking that the international body "ensure free and fair elections in America," according to a statement issued by Florida representative Eddie...
