electronic voter fraud comes to rapides parish

saw this vid over on kalb.com about the new electronic voting machines recently introduced into rapides parish. we have been voting on the old style machine all of our life and we have to wonder just what was wrong with them? who decided to just up and introduce electronic voting machines into the parish? did the voters of rapides parish ask for these? no we didnt. the problem with electronic voting machines is that there is no paper trail. furthermore, they can be programmed so that if you vote for candidate a candidate b will receive the vote. now thanks to the state we will never be able to get rid the politicians who sprung this fraud on us in the first place.

oh and just try now to defeat any and all taxes they can think up. electronic voting machines can be hacked into and the results changed around to suit whoevers whim. this is a horrible turn of events in rapides parish. now there is very little point to vote as the results are already decided and theres nothing we can do about it. does anyone else see whats going on here? does anyone care? whats wrong with this country and this state?

tsunami workers shocked by ninth ward

came across this story on wet bank guide by way of your right hand thief. not much we can add.

wet bank guide snip:

Tsunami relief workers shocked by 9th Ward tour,
say they expected more signs of recovery

"As the central government's national holiday celebrating freedom from remote incompetence and tyranny approaches, I'm frustrated to think how, or why, I would want to celebrate. Vicksburg MS fell to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant on July 4, 1863. The city did not observe the Fourth of July as a holiday again until 1945. I wonder how long it will be before New Orleans forgives and forgets?"

musical chairs at the ninth judicial district court

heres a tt story concerning the recent realignment of the rapides parish 9th judicial district court. jim leggett would have us believe (see link) its working marveously, although, we cant see how its working very well at all. in fact, local attorney mike small has already successfully fought it in one of his cases when he proved that the judges didnt even follow their own rules in the "realignment." we cant figure out how the whole scheme is even legal. it reeks of judge shopping and the extended necessity of lawyer shopping as depending on which judge your case is automatically being heard by, you will have to go through one of their favored local lawyers. (side note: like how the gold law firm controls the federal bench in alexandria) also it would seem to take away all appearance of judicial impartiality - a judge only hearing certain cases would more than likely already have his or her mind made up and thats not right. everyone is entitled to a fair and impartial hearing. several of the judges intentions and ethics are already questionable - we are talking about judges randow, metoyer and koch.

anyway, it would seem that the only fair way to assign cases to this collection would be through a lottery. all judges hear all types of cases and as your case is filed its randomly assigned to whatever judge. this lottery should be a closely guarded secret by the clerk of court to ensure that a lawyer couldnt hedge his chances by waiting till a specific day or time to file his suit to be automatically assigned to his most favored judge. rapides parish so transparent gotta love it.

Crowley announces run for secretary of state
By Jim Leggett
jleggett@thetowntalk.com
(318) 487-6346

Jim Crowley, a Shreveport Democrat who has run for statewide and regional posts before, has announced his candidacy for secretary of state in the special election Sept. 30.

Crowley is running to fill the term of Fox McKeithen, a Republican who died in office.

Crowley ran for commissioner of elections in the early 1980s on a campaign promise to merge that office with the secretary of state. Twenty years later, that was done. He also ran unsuccessfully for the state Public Service Commission.
"I love the people of Louisiana, and I want to do everything I can to help them in this office," Crowley said of his reasons for running.

He said fair and honest elections are at the forefront. To that end, he said, he has experience as a Caddo Parish police juror in working with his clerk of court and registrar of voters to ensure a good election process.

When asked if he favors an appointed secretary of state, he said, "Unequivocally no." He said whether elected or appointed, politics remain a part of the job.

He said it will take $2 million -- $1 million in the primary and $1 million in the runoff -- to win election to the office. However, he said, he can do it for "far, far less" because he already has name recognition because of his previous election campaigns.

He is taking time off from his jobs as a retail coins and collectibles dealer and as a notary public to campaign. He also is working to obtain his Realtor's license.

As part of his campaign, Crowley is walking from place to place. He walked from Alexandria on his way to Ball but ran out of campaign leaflets at the Wal-Mart store in Pineville. He set out for Ball again on Tuesday with 1,500 leaflets and made it to Ball.

Others who have said they are running are former Louisiana Republican Party Chairman Mike Francis, a native of Jena now living in Crowley; state Sen. Jay Dardenne, R-Baton Rouge; and state Rep. Carla Dartez, D-Morgan City.

Brian Cespiva, Rapides Parish Democratic Executive Committee, said Crowley came by his office Tuesday. "No decision has been made in the secretary of state's race. It's too early," Cespiva said.

Resume

GEORGE W. BUSH 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington , DC 20520

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

LAW ENFORCEMENT

I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine , in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

MILITARY

I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam

COLLEGE

I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE

I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland , Texas , in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas . The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry, including Enron CEO Ken Lay, I was elected governor of Texas .

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union .

During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida , and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT

I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.

I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.

In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.

I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, had a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution.

More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip- offs in history.

I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.

I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.

I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history.

I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.

I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.

I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.

I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S . "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).

I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.

I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families-in-wartime.

In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends.

I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

thank you for your email. yes we still run an active blog - you must have missed our post from 07 march 2006 about the usa patriot act which melancon voted for. then you would have known that any conversation with us regarding melancon would be extremely short. we hope that melancon is defeated. he is a traitor to the constitution and the bill of rights.
