Russ Verney asks for money for ballot access
2008-06-13 15:32:00 Dear Friend, Since I wrote you late yesterday, several hundred people have rushed us a contribution to help the Barr/Root Presidential campaign be on all 50 state ballots this November 4th. As you can imagine in a Presidential campaign there are hundreds (and sometimes it feels like thousands) of important projects that need our immediate attention, but in June – one issue dominates all others. And as I’m sure you know its making sure we get on all 50 state ballots. About 27 states are relatively easy but 23 take varying degrees of work But no question, Oklahoma is the hardest state. In 2004 Oklahoma voters’ only choice was between a Republican and a Democrat. No third party or independent candidate was on the ballot – in fact they’ve rigged the election rules in Oklahoma so you can’t even write in a candidate’s name. Late yesterday, I got a phone call from Oklahoma State Chair, Angela O’Dell. To say Angela is passionate about her job as State Chair would ...
Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate finishes ballot access drive
2008-06-11 09:24:00 Redpath says Virginians do not need "six more years of the same two parties" Libertarian Party National Chairman and candidate for U.S. Senate William Redpath will deliver more than 16,000 signatures to the Virginia State Board of Elections on Tuesday in Richmond, concluding more than two months of petition gathering to qualify for ballot access as a Libertarian in the state of Virginia. Redpath, of Leesburg, will face Republican Jim Gilmore and Democrat Mark Warner for the seat currently held by five-term Republican Senator John Warner. "This will be an open seat, and one that is highly contested," says Redpath, who is a Vice President at BIA Financial Network, Inc. "My entry into the race will bring more competition by creating an alternative to the two establishment candidates. Virginians deserve to get the best representation as possible in Washington, and we do this by inviting more choices into the selection process." Redpath will be delivering these petition signatur...

Tom Yager leaks to Ballot Access News
2008-05-27 16:39:00 Well, maybe it's not as dramatic as all that, but in fact, Ballot Access News does attribute their report to Yager of VA. In the report, BAN announces that Cynthia McKinney has secured enough committed votes to win a first ballot victory in her race for the Green Party Presidential nomination.The only "problem", if there is one, is that simply having the committed delegates is not enough, for McKinney or any of the other candidates. Unless those delegates show up at the convention in numbers high enough, her nomination is not sewn up.Apparently the national party has decided to charge each state for proxy votes to be cast at the national convention, and some states may face difficulties fielding their entire slate of delegates, even with proxy votes.Green Party Watch and Green News and Opinion will report more news on this front as it comes available.

Is Vizquel a can't-miss, first-ballot hall of famer?
2008-05-23 19:23:00 Omar Vizquel is a grab bag of surprises and no doubt will be until the day he cedes his territory on the left side of the infield for good and enters his new life as a painter or sculptor or musician or bon vivant at large. Vizquel is two games short of tying Luis Aparicio's all-time record of 2,583 games at shortstop. He has 11 Gold Gloves and is regarded as one of the greatest defensive shortstops ever. Yet he promises that when he looks back at his career, he will be most proud of what he did at the plate. As Vizquel sat by his locker in Denver this week, he was asked if breaking Aparicio's longevity mark will be his platinum achievement.The question to be asked five years after Vizquel retires is whether he will be an easy "in" when the baseball writers receive their first Hall of Fame ballot that lists Vizquel.When he signed with the Giants before the 2005 season, there was much debate over his qualifications to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Certainly it would have been a ...

The ad attempts to connect that extremism to the two leading Democratic gubernatorial candidates, Bev Perdue and Richard Moore, both of whom support Obama. The connection is rather weak, but expect more ads like this down the road. The ad has drawn a quick rebuke from the national Republican Party as well as Republican nominee John McCain. The NC GOP, however, is an independent body, so the decision to run the ad is theirs.Perdue recently pledged to run a positive-only advertising campaign.

Texas Prosecutes Little Old Ladies for Voter Fraud, Let's Republican Ballot
2008-03-31 19:32:00 AlterNet Willie Ray was a 69-year-old African-American City Council member from Texarkana who wanted her granddaughter, Jamillah Johnson, to learn about civil rights and voting during the 2004 presidential election. The pair helped homebound seniors citizens get absentee ballots, and once they were filled out, put them in the mail. Fort Worth's Gloria Meeks, 69, was a church-going, community activist who proudly ran a phone bank and helped homebound elderly people like Parthenia McDonald, 79, to vote by mail. McDonald, whose mailbox was two blocks away from her home (she recently died), called Meeks "an angel" for helping her, a friend of both women said. And until he recently moved out of state, Walter Hinojosa, a retired school teacher and labor organizer from Austin, was another Democratic Party volunteer who helped elderly and disabled people vote by getting them absentee ballots and mailing them. Today, Ray and Johnson have criminal records for breaking Texas election law ...

Battleboro Vermont Voters Must Turn Over Ballot To Vote For Indictment of B
2008-03-04 09:17:00 From the Rutland Herald: Brattleboro has a chance to set an example for the rest of the country Tuesday, when voters go to the town meeting polls to decide whether they favor indicting President Bush for violating his oath of office, organizers of the Brattleboro Initiative said Sunday. But with voter turnout expected to be high Tuesday for Vermont’s presidential primary, with an abundance of new, young voters supporting the candidacy of Democrat Barack Obama, organizers are optimistic the maverick article will gain widespread support. But there’s one snafu. The article calling for Bush’s indictment is on the back of the paper ballot, and many people who have already cast absentee votes have reported that the issue wasn’t on the ballot after all. Organizer Kurt Daims, the author of the indictment article, said his wife came home with her absentee ballot and couldn’t find the article. It was on the back side of the ballot, with all the elective offices o...

John Murtha is another cheating, lying, unscrupulous politician that will do anything in his power to ensure his 34 year reign in the United States Congress continues. John Murtha's years in Congress have been spotted with scandals. In 1980 Murtha became embroiled in the Abscam investigation. He was videotaped participating in unethical activities, but ultimately was never indicted or charged. He agreed to testify against Frank Th ompson (D-NJ) and John Murphy (D-NY), the two Congressmen mentioned as participants in the scandal, who were videotaped placing cash bribes in their trousers. The FBI videotaped Murtha responding to an offer of $50,000, ...

Documents reveal McCain campaign misleads on Kentucky ballot
2008-02-27 23:44:00 The shady world of public financing federal elections has apparently snagged a presidential candidate in Senator John McCain. The DNC filed a complaint with the FEC yesterday. Does this come back to haunt the probable Republican nominee? Throw in an unethical relationship with a lobbyist and it starts to add up. These hits hurt his chances and I suspect they will keep coming. Kentucky Democratic Party WASHINGTON, DC - Facing questions about whether the campaign leveraged eligibility for public matching funds to gain access to the ballot in several states, the McCain campaign yesterday sunk to a new low. For days the McCain campaign has been playing fast and loose with the facts surrounding McCain's FEC violations. On a call with reporters yesterday, the McCain campaign erroneously stated that the campaign was getting on the Kentucky ballot by collecting signatures.

2008-02-25 17:10:00 The Black World Today We don?t know what Barack will do [if elected President], but he has presented some thoughts which would mean some change in the ugliness of the policies of this country. He hasn?t spelled out an anti-poverty program like the one proposed by Martin Luther King, a program of full employment, guaranteed annual income, and 100,000 units of affordable housing each year. But he has spoken out about Social Security reform that rejects privatization and raises the income cap for imposition of the FICA tax, a move that would secure Social Security for decades to come. Obama speaks of removing tax credits for those companies that send our jobs overseas. He speaks of raising taxes on those who make more than $250,000 annually, and eliminating taxes for seniors who make less than $50,000 a year. Of course, he promises to end the war in Iraq, and bring the troops home by the end of 2009. His foreign policy includes diplomatic overtures to Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba. Do...

He called to ask me to consider making a small donation to the Arizona Green Party's ballot access drive.With only a few weeks left to get the signatures needed to get ballot access, the Arizona Green Party is pulling out all the stops. Not content to let their efforts fall short, the AZ Greens are reaching out to their fellow Greens across the nation for small donations to wrap up the ballot access drive successfully.Why should this matter to you if you don't live in Arizona? Well, just as an injustice to one is an injustice to all, a success by one is a success for all. Greens scoring any sort of win anywhere gives me at least a tiny boost. For that I am grateful.So...what to do? Well, the best thing to do, if you can afford to do so, is donate a few dollars here.Of course, if you can give thousands, please do so. :-)

Tax hungry Los Angeles goes after broadband access with a misleading ballot
2008-02-09 20:34:00 We devote a lot of space to condemning the duopoly for all of their misleading ads, contracts and terms. Governments are no different. Recently Los Angeles put a candle in a cowpie and sold it to voters as a birthday cake. Most of the LA media was too busy following Britney Spears to notice. Los Angeles this week passed a controversial new tax that should impact city VoIP users, reports the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. Fearing the need to cut police services, the city took an existing telephone user tax, reduced it from 10% to 9%, but expanded the tax to include Internet phone services. Apart from lowering the tax 1 percentage point, it swaps in broad language that covers a wider range of telephone-like technology and allows the city to tax the routing of voice, audio, video, data or other communication information transmitted through fiber-optic coaxial cables, power lines, broadband, DSL or wireless systems. Locals are concerned that the new tax could ultimately be expanded in an...

Asymmetric recommendation on California ballot propositions.
2008-02-05 04:41:00 Not so remarkably, the people of California are a lot smarter when it comes to making California law than our state legislature which has to be the least diverse and most unwise in the hemisphere next to the Havana politiebureau. Here are my recommendations for the propositions up tomorrow. Proposition 91- No: This one prohibits the legislature from moving transportation revenue from gasoline taxes to the general fund. I lean against any proposition that artificially limits the government's ability to make decisions like balanced budget amendments, etc. In other words, people should vote for honest politicians who won't move money away from its intended purpose. In case of an emergency or if none of the roads happen to need repair (ha!), this law would make the government less efficient (ha! ha!). Proposition 92- No!: This one writes the percentage of the budget that should be spent on education into the constitution (!!). A stupid bill for the reasons above as well as its goa...
