Vote Fraud and How to Combat It Introduction I have been involved in campaigns and volunteering at the polls since 1994. In every election where I have been involved there was evidence of vote fraud. Based on personal experience I estimate that in important national elections up to 10% of all votes cast are fraudulent. Did you notice how polls that favor Republicans to win on Election Day are almost always off by a significant amount when the votes are counted? Have you noticed how Philadelphia turns in more ballots than the number of adults in the city? Who are...

This thread is for FReepers everywhere to post their anti-Obama bumper stickers, t-shirts, and yard sign pics, and relate their experiences with the same. Try and give a clear picture of the anti-obama sign, t-shirt, or bumper sticker out in the public. Date the sighting, and give the town and state. If you have had any experience with the same, particularly in discussing the election and the truth about Barack Hussein Obama with others, please relate them briefly. Please, no profane immoral, or explicit shots. Just good old fashioned American activism in educating and informing others. I'll start: NOBAMA '08...

My Nephew-in-law is in his 3 tour in Iraq. He leads a squad of 22 soldiers who are not near any military base. Our family sends out monthly care packages to him and his men. Last week they lost 3 who were temporarily attached to them for a special mission. With all the bad press out there I would like to send in my next care package "words of praise and encouragement" for these guys. Can you take a minute and write a note to them. I will print out each note separately (that is appropriate) and include it in...

ALERT: Would YOU like a personal say in who John McCain, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, should pick as his Vice Presidential running mate? Now you can -- and this isn't just some useless online poll. You get to tell the man who's actually helping McCain do the picking! According to the latest news reports , Sen. McCain has tapped a former Reagan administration official to head his campaign's search for a vice presidential nominee. Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander of Tennessee told The Hill newspaper that Arthur Culvahouse, who was Reagan's White House counsel from March 1987 to...

Contrary to speculation that an electronic control device could induce ventricular fibrillation, the rhythm found in alleged arrest-related deaths was primarily asystole which is associated with drug overdoses and cannot be induced with electrical stimulation; and, Real time ultrasound showed that even when electronic control device probes are placed across the heart, the ECD electrical pulses have no effect on the human heart. This is in contrast with the result occasionally seen in research using small pigs, which have important physiological differences that make their cardiovascular system significantly more sensitive to electricity than in humans.

Taser International Inc. was deemed partially responsible for the 2005 death of a Northern California man, resulting in a damage award of more than $6.2 million. The verdict, announced June 6, represents the first case lost by Scottsdale-based Taser (Nasdaq:TASR). The jury in the U.S. District Court case found Taser 15 percent responsible in the death of Robert C. Heston, while Heston himself was 85 percent responsible. Heston was struck three times by Salinas, Calif., police officers using a Taser stun gun, and the lawsuit argued that the shocks combined with the fact he was intoxicated with methamphetamine caused his...

A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations. Senator Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has not endorsed either Senator Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. But on Thursday, February 14, he is trying to rush Obama's...

T S Eliot's famous opening lines from The Waste Land come to mind as Washington confirms that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is heading for the Middle East to attend an international conference regarding the Iraq situation, in Kuwait on April 22. This will be no ordinary run-of-the-mill international conference. It's about Iraq. And Rice may well bump into her Iranian counterpart, Manouchehr Mottaki.

"We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert: Whereas in the early 1600's 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American development, Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged, Whereas the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices committed against African Americans during the past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those...

By now, most McCain haters will have already skipped down to the comments section to post their expletives and tell me how it’s a free country and they have a 1st Amendment right, etc. to yammer on and on about how bad McCain sucks, totally missing the point of my post, again. But I’m here to tell you, in this free country, that in my opinion, you should SHUT YOUR STINKIN TRAP! To all you ingrates, rageaholics, and self-absorbed punks, WE KNOW YOU HATE MCCAIN.

County Commissioner Jack Mariano has his way, state and national leaders will jump on the bandwagon of offshore oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. The District 5 commissioner, who represents northwest Pasco, argues that foreign countries are cashing in on profits the state could be gaining instead. As the price of gasoline climbs closer to $4 per gallon, he reasons, government leaders should be looking for ways to increase the local supply. Mariano faces strong opposition to his plan, however, not the least of which comes from his fellow board members, who passed a resolution by a...

Any comments about John McCains recent foreign policy speech... I see no difference between his policy and any other liberal democrat.... He thinks we need to let other countries dictate our policy for us and that we have no "right" to enforce our own foreign policy without UN "permission"

Boston police officials, surprised by intense opposition from residents, have significantly scaled back and delayed the start of a program that would allow officers to go into people's homes and search for guns without a warrant. The program, dubbed Safe Homes, was supposed to start in December, but has been delayed at least three times because of misgivings in the community. March 1 was the latest missed start date. One community group has been circulating a petition against the plan. Police officials trying to assuage residents' fears have been drowned out by criticism at some meetings with residents and elected...

Despite the efforts of most of the main stream media (and Obama himself) trying to spin the incidents regarding Barack Obama's preacher and spiritual advisor into something acceptable to Americans, and his speech regarding race, by doing some individualresearch, it becomes clear that the spin will simply just not wash. The Trinity Church subscribes to Black Liberation Theology. I believe that Obama will not leave that Church for one simple and obvious reason. Despite his new found disgust in "some" terminology that Wright employed, Obama must agree with the theology that the church teaches. He is raising his kids in...

BAGHDAD — The Coalition Command Sgts. Maj. and senior enlisted advisors along with the Command Sgt.

A Navy SEAL who sacrificed his life to save his comrades by throwing himself on top of a grenade will be posthumously awarded the nation's highest military honor. The family of Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor will receive the Medal of Honor on his behalf during a White House ceremony, according to a Marine Corps Times report Monday. The report, which cited an anonymous Department of Defense official, said it was not clear when the medal would be presented. Monsoor was part of a sniper security team on Sept. 29, 2006, in Ramadi with three other SEALs and...

In an interview with Major Garrett on Fox News last night, among many other things, Barack Hussein Obama indicated that regarding the upproar over the very controversial, hateful, rascists, and unAmerican statements of his long time pastor, menotr, and spiritual advisor, that Obama, upon learning of earlier statements: "It was my judgement at the time that it was not as problematic.." Also, yesterday, reveleations in the Rezko corruption trial, indicate that the Obama campaign is now revealing much larger donations through Rezko's efforts than previously stated. The Obama campaign also indicated that Barack had lapses of judgement in dealing with...

Breaking: small explosive device thrown at military recruiting office in Times Square, New York City.

BERKELEY, Calif. (KCBS) -- The protests that continue in Berkeley over the Marine’s recruiting station come at a hefty price tag for the city. Protests have been held every Friday for months outside the Marines recruitment center on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley. ”It supports the war by continuing to pull people into the war machine,” said Jennifer Kitter, a Code Pink member, and regular at the protests. The city manager says Berkeley police are spending $20,000 each time such a protest is held, to make sure that the demonstrators don’t get physical with each other. ”I’m supporting the troops, all...

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will make a landmark visit to Iraq on March 2, the first-ever trip by an Iranian leader, the Iraqi government said Thursday. Ahmadinejad will meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President Jalal Talabani during his two-day visit, according to an Iraqi government spokesman. "The two countries will discuss bilateral relations and joint projects," spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said. The two neighbors fought a ruinous eight-year war in the 1980s that left an estimated 1 million people killed or wounded. But relations have improved since the 2003 ouster of Saddam Hussein's regime....

Since it appears likely that the GOP has forced John McCain on us.. I think it is fair to take a very critical look at him.. and anticipate how he might be destroyed by the left in the General Election.. and why MANY of us on the right just can't bring ourseleves to vote for him anyway..

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - The chief of the U.S. military said Sunday he favors closing the prison here as soon as possible because he believes negative publicity worldwide about treatment of terrorist suspects has been "pretty damaging" to the image of the United States. "I'd like to see it shut down," Adm. Mike Mullen said in an interview with three reporters who toured the detention center with him on his first visit since becoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff last October.
