This note is to ask you for your support regarding the
upcoming pre-trial hearing regarding my civil suit
against the Ohio Hocking County Board of Elections.
Some warm bodies in the courtroom would be wonderful.
The hearing is being held in Hocking County, Logan,
Ohio Court House, Common Pleas Court with Judge Jeff
Simmons from Vinton County seated at the helm. The
day, date and time is Friday, September 8, 2006 at
9:30 AM. Please pass place, date and time on to others
and inform them that this is not a partisan issue.
Remember, the Hocking County Board of Elections dismissed me with a unanimous vote. I found that exercising our First Amendment could get you fired. Of course, the BOE is in denial. Some very weak reasons for my firing are coming toward me. Randy Lambert is the attorney representing the BOE. My attorney is, the very capable, Kate Schulte. The insurance company that covers Hocking County is paying Mr. Lambert for his services to the BOE.

AUSTIN, Texas -- I know it's bad form to brag, but I am now a graduate of Texas A&M University, and you can't stop Aggie pride. I became a diplomee of the great institution in College Station after successfully completing the three-day short course in beef cattle this summer. I specialized in forage management and graduated "Quel fromage!" meaning "avec distinction."
It is also true that I was banned from the campus of Texas A&M many years ago after some students invited me to make a political speech. Also Quel Fromage! So you see how far we have all come.
The most amazing part of cow college was meeting the cow whisperer. Think of everything you know about moving cattle from one place to another -- for shots, round-up or loading into trucks for market -- just physically moving a lot of cattle. GEE, GIT ON, GO DOGIE, whistle, whip crack, move 'em out, chase 'em down. Turns out all these years we've been doing it wrong.

During the Battle of Stalingrad, Soviet officers gave one inviolable order: not one step backward. Any soldiers who did retreat were shot down by their own comrades. The enemy was at the gates.
The situation today is reversed. The enemy is within the gates, and the rule is: not one step forward. Take as many back as you can. And begin with civil liberties.
The liberty to communicate in a civil society? You can still e-mail or telephone whomever you like. Anything you write or say, though, will be collected and mined for possible terrorist content, a terrorist being defined as anyone who disagrees with Bush Administration policies. But U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor recently ruled that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional. She has quite clearly recognized and stated with her decision that the enemy is deep within the gates, resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and is in no way, shape or form a King.
The Bush Administration immediately appealed her verdict, and added its usual coda: you can trust us, we just want to protect you from those horrible terrorists “out there”.
Yes, and Brutus is an honorable man.

The San Diego citizens who are suing for transparency and accountability in elections witnessed the second hearing in this matter before the Honorable Judge Yuri Hofmann in the San Diego County Superior Court.
From the courthouse by cell phone Contestant Barbara Gail Jacobsen reported, “Paul Lehto and Ken Simpkins represented us very well today in court. ‘We the People of this country decide on who is going to represent us, and it’s through making sure that our elections are sound that we can know for sure that we have elected people that we want to transfer power to.’” (Quote posted by Emily Levy at http://www.bradblog.com/?p=3328)
Earlier this year, San Diego voters discovered these easily hackable, electronic voting machines were sent home with poll workers on “sleepovers” prior to the June 6th Special Election, violating state and federal laws. Ironically, the election was held to fill the 50th Congressional District seat made vacant by the felony conviction of Republican Randy “Duke” Cunningham.

In the aftermath of the onslaught on Lebanon you can open up the Israeli newspapers, particularly the Hebrew-language editions, and find fierce assaults on the country's elites from left, right and center.
The overall panorama is one of chickens of all ages coming home to roost. Small pustules highlight larger rot. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Dan Halutz, a narcissistic bully, secretly took time off the morning he ordered the terror bombing of south Beirut to tell Bank Leumi to sell his stock portfolio before the market plunged, which it soon did by nearly 10 percent.
The capacity of the U.S. armed forces to fight intelligently and effectively has been almost destroyed by a system of graft-ridden procurement that favors expensive weapons systems validated by bogus tests. Israel's supposed military requirements have been a particularly ripe sector of that racket, and the consequences are plain to see.

Voters Insist On Right To Observe Vote Counting
Plus Other Findings From This Unique Poll
Part I of a II part series
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A recent Zogby poll documents ground breaking information on the attitudes of American voters toward electronic voting. They are quite clear in the belief that the outcome of an entire election can be changed due to flaws in computerized voting machines. At a stunning rate of 92%, Americans insist on the right to watch their votes being counted. And, at an overwhelming 80%, they strongly object to the use of secret computer software to tabulate votes without citizen access to that software.
The American public is clear in its desire for free, fair, and transparent elections. An 80%-90% consensus on the right to view vote counting and opposition to secrecy by voting machine vendor is both rare and remarkable in American politics. If only the public knew that these options are virtually non existent in today’s election system.

Dear Editor:
Rodeos are inherent animal cruelty, pure and simple. Rodeos take docile animals and try to make them seem aggressive. Bulls and horses are tormented in the chutes prior to release into the ring. They are forced to wear bucking straps, and the rider uses spurs, which dig into the animals' flesh. One rodeo cowboy said of bucking straps and electric prods, "If you can't use those devices, then you have no rodeo" (Pittsburgh Tribune Review Dec. 26, 2000).
Injuries to animals, such as deep internal organ bruising, hemorrhaging, bone fractures, ripped tendons, and torn ligaments and muscles, are all expected and anticipated in the violent tradition.
Rodeos stay in operation by contributions from companies such as The Kroger Company based in Ohio. Companies such as Kroger need to realize that violently roping calves to the ground by their necks while they run up to 27 miles per hour is not entertainment.
Sincerely,
William McMullin
