Another rally by civil rights groups, including the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, is scheduled for today. Jackson and Brown said the new sites and new elections office leadership won't make elections better, blistering the city's leadership in criticism painted with the memory of 27,000 invalidated votes in the 2000 election. Jackson compared the city's situation to his civil rights fights of the 1960s.

John Stafford, Duval County's Supervisor Of Elections, has sent a letter to the Governor saying he was resigning for medical reasons effective today.

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...

Proposal to Have U.N. Monitor Elections Ends in Partisan Clash By Dan Morgan 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....

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown of Jacksonville was rebuked and risked being forced into silence by House members Thursday after suggesting Republican members "stole the election" in 2000. In a seemingly rare vote, Washington officials said, the House decided, 219-187, to strike the "stole the election" statement from the congressional record. But they decided not to ban Brown from the House debate that day, as rules allow when members' reputations are impugned. Afterward, Brown told the Times-Union she stood by her statements. She at one point said, "I would have clarified it." Asked how, she paused and replied, "The truth of...

Today on the honored floor of the house, Congresswoman Brown had the audacity to say that Bush ascended to the Presidency in a coup d'etat. The house reprimanded her, but that is not enough. I just called her office to say she should be ashamed of her rhetoric. All Freepers should call her office. The # is (202) 225-0123.

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...

We have seen another inappropriate outburst from the liberal left of the Democratic Party come and go without a word of outrage from Democratic leadership. US Representative Corrine Brown (D-FL) issued an incredibly racist statement in anger during a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill between administration officials and members of Congress regarding the Haitian crisis. This outburst so stunned those at the meeting that condemnation of Brown's statement has been streaming into the public forum. Curiously, but unsurprisingly, the Democratic Party leadership and leadership from the activist liberal left has been deafeningly silent. Rep. Brown, obviously unprepared for the meeting...

When I sit back and read the day’s news, there’s nothing I can do but sit in disgust and restrain myself from banging my head against the nearest brick wall. On almost every newscast, in every newspaper there’s some story of intolerance and hate speech. Ever notice how “tolerance” is a hot button? It’s used for everything, especially mocking and dehumanizing others who have a different viewpoint, a viewpoint other than those that society has thrust upon us. The problem with tolerance in today’s society is that it is a one way street. And the root of that is the...
