Wasserman's 'abandoned' article

Dear Mr. Wasserman,

Please stop smashing Kerry. He gets enough of that from gloating RightWingers. I would guess that after the media crucified Gore for kicking, he is trying to be smarter about this. He's probably been advised to keep his head down long enough to see whether there will be enough outcry about the voting irregularities to warrant coming out with a statement and exposing himself to a new onslaught from furious Republicans, or, far worse politically, ridicule from the media.

Let freedom ring

I hear you on the vote count and I support you all the way!!!! Let all our voices be heard! And they say Bush won the "moral" vote! What a joke! I am hearing you loud and clear in Grand Rapids MI Keep up the fight! Let everyone of those votes be counted and let's see what major news network reports it. It has been pretty quite so far. Wonder why?

Carolyn M. Sherman re: Slip-sliding away in Columbus

I read your story "Slip-sliding away in Columbus" (http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2004/850).

I live in Tarrant County, TX, near Fort Worth. Our county used optical scan ballots. Most precincts had only 1 working machine, some may have had zero. However, since the ballots were all paper and could be tabulated at a central location if necessary, it didn't matter - all that mattered was how fast the election judge could check you in. Most places could easily handle a few hundred voters per hour, and lines of longer than 10 minutes were rare outside of peak voting times. Also, we have thousands of voting precincts for a county of less than 2 million people.

I heard horror stories of long lines around the country, but none as bad as yours. I can only hope that the people of the state of Ohio will say "ENOUGH" and demand shorter lines in the future, and ante up the money it takes to have more polling locations.

On an unrelated topic, I hope the planned recount

Comment re: "Why Did John Kerry Abandon His Crew (US!) in Battle?",

QUOTE: "If Kerry hadn't conceded, the right wingers would have screamed bloody murder. But what else is new?"

Well, and while "playing" "conspiracy theorist", I'd say that the answer to that rhetorically indented question of Mr. Wasserman's is or at least may possibly be that the two most likely candidates to win the 2004 US presidential election - Bush and Kerry - were two Bonesmen - "Order of Skull & Bones" - facing or - pretending, anyway - confronting each other. And the allegiance the members of S&B members have amongst each other is stronger, given a considerably higher priority than duty to nation, honesty, fairness, etc.

As you have already guessed, I certainly don't know the above fact(s) actually had anything to do with the 2004 election; however, there's certainly at least reason to carefully consider the possibility that this indeed was a present element.

Wasserman

We can't change what happened, we can't change what Kerry did. That was yesterday. Today we must continue the fight. We must do what Kucinich has taught us. We stay in the battle to the very end. The end doesn't happen until the electoral college votes.

We the People are the ones in charge, not the DNC, not John Kerry. I say we follow Kucinich's example and STAY. I know in my heart we can overturn the election results. We in Boone NC are gathering, we are going to pressure the media to cover this.

Thank you -- Voter Fraud

Thank you sir, Mr. Wasserman,

Thank you so much for not backing down on your news.  The major T.V. news is not quite reporting it the way it is or not reporting it at all. Know one knows why?  

There was wide fraud and discrepencies in numbers all over the United States, but especially Ohio and Florida. I beleive John Kerry is the true President-Elect. I hope our country proves this election was a fraud. More people were purposely stopped or misguided to vote for John Kerry.  The internet site Commongroundcommonsense.com/civil rights/fair election practices  has had more information and started to really fight this by getting out true facts about this election. Log on as invaluable information is there.

By- the-way, where there was paper-votes the vote was always John Kerry ahead! Machines (Diebold) showed more for Bush with outlandish numbers for Bush!

We cannot let this happen to our country. Even foreign news is doing a better job of reporting this than the USA. NOT ANOTHER 2000!

"FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME."
       OUST BUSH!

Mordechai Vanunu

Mordechai Vanunu was arrested this morning in his room at St. George's Cathedral in East Jerusalem, by a huge police force (about 30 armed officers). The pretext for his arrest: Vanunu violated the Draconian restrictions that were imposed on him when he was released from prison in April, by giving interviews to foreign media.

The attempt to silence Mordechai Vanunu on this of all days, is an attempt to bury Israel's secret nuclear arsenal together with Yasser Arafat. While the world media and attention are focused on the burial of the Palestinian leader, the Israeli government is attempting to disappear the nuclear whistleblower, whose only crime is revealing the terrible truth that Israel is trying to hide: weapons of mass destruction that are concealed from Israeli citizens and from the world.

Mordechai Vanunu is expected to be brought to court on Friday morning, November 12. His supporters will demonstrate outside the courthouse. Details will be sent out later today.

Limestone sofa coming to Greenwood Park, Short North public art installation on Friday

On Friday, November 12, the Short North will install a limestone sofa at Greenwood Park, one of its new Pocket Parks located at 1159 N. High Street. At 9:00 AM a crane will set the 10,000-pound sculpture in place at the park.

Designed and carved by Robert Huff, Associate Professor of Art at the Myers School of Art, University of Akron, this public art was selected by a jury of local artists and community representatives.

The jury reviewed works of 26 Ohio artists and selected three artists to prepare proposals for Greenwood Park. Models of each of the three artists’ proposals were displayed during the Short North’s Bicentennial Hop on July 5, 2003 for public review and comment. Then the jury met again and selected Robert’s limestone sofa concept for Greenwood Park.

Robert’s sofa was inspired by investigation into the previous use of the land on which the parks sits that fronts a parking lot. The property had housed furniture stores in the past. The sofa was created in reminiscence of the former shops.

Green and Libertarian Presidential Candidates to Demand Ohio Recount

David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, the 2004 presidential candidates for the Green and Libertarian parties, today announced their intentions to file a formal demand for a recount of the presidential ballots cast in Ohio.

"Due to widespread reports of irregularities in the Ohio voting process, we are compelled to demand a recount of the Ohio presidential vote. Voting is the heart of the democratic process in which we as a nation put our faith. When people stand in line for hours to exercise their right to vote, they need to know that all votes will be counted fairly and accurately. We must protect the rights of the people of Ohio, as well as all Americans, and stand up for the right to vote and the right for people's votes to be counted. The integrity of the democratic process is at stake," the two candidates said in a joint statement.

The candidates also demanded that Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, a Republican who chaired the Ohio Bush campaign, recuse himself from the recount process.

The Ohio presidential election was marred by numerous press and independent reports of voter intimidation, mis-marked and discarded
