Diebold and Lauch Faircloth contributions (Christian Reconstructionism)

[phoebe]

anyone else see this??

Mark, Follow up research on Wally O'Dell from Diebold. His attempts
to isolate his personal political views from the corporations don't
fit with the facts. Personal donations to campaigns can be searched
at the FEC or through some other websites like CommonDreams.org. Try
searching the board and senior executives of Diebold and see if you
can find any Democrats. More surprising, there is a concerted pattern
of donations to one candidate outside Ohio. Many of Diebold's
executives gave money to the North Carolina Senatorial candidate
Lauch Faircloth.... on the same day!!!!

An added twist is that Lauch Faircloth has alwasy been openly opposed
to allowing all Americans to vote. He is a leader of CNP, the
Christian reconstructionists who believe only Christians should be
allowed to vote. How can a voting machine company have so many
executives line up behind a candidate who is opposed to counting all
the votes? It certainly gives you some scope for interesting
questions to good old Wally O'Dell!

If you want to really worry yourself, take a look at the other big
player in making our 'no paper trail' voting machines. They are
called ES&S. The president of that company was Senator
(R) Chuck Hagel's campaign manager. They also have senior staff
making lots of donations to the CNP stealth candidates like Mike
Fair from Greenville SC.

†"Christian Reconstructionism is an extreme form of post-millenial,
Calvinistic Protestantism which †argues that it is the moral
obligation of Christians to reclaim every "worldly" institution for
Christ. †Reconstructionism also holds that the entire Law of the
Pentateuch continues as a standard of †righteousness even today for
Christians, and that Christians must exercise dominion through the
†power of God's Law over all the Earth before Christ shall come
again. As part of their theology, †reconstructionists hold that,
under the coming "kingdom of God", which they are actively engaged in
†bringing about, that the Biblical penalty for homosexuality (death)
will be enforced, though they will †always demur that they do not
advocate that the penalty be applied today, but only in some nebulous
†future time when they believe that God will have instituted a
theocratic form of government."

A theocratic form of government? I go to church on occasion but don't
believe we should replace our constitution with a group of mad
mullahs making all the laws.

1. Faircloth ran against EDWARDS in 1998.

This has suddenly become even more interesting to me.

Thanks for posting this.

[phoebe]

3. please enlighten us further..

n/t

8. Oh no, LOL,

I was saying that Black Box Voting, and all those threads, while interesting and revealing in themselves, have now peaked my interest even more--because I'm an Edwards supporter.

[AP]

2. Does this mean that Edwards probably beat Faircloth by an even

wider margin?

[dusty64]

4. Yes, this is what its ALL

about. These freakish members of an extreme rightwing cult appear EVERYWHERE you look in these "voting" machine companies.
Considering that there can't be that many adherents to this crazy reconstructionist movement, isn't it funny their tentacles entwine diebold and ES&S. Kinda explains the sudden rise of extremists in Washington all of a sudden doesn't it. I can't believe it has been allowed to continue, it is SO blatantly obvious.

5. check out Theocracy Watch

at www.theocracywatch.org

Real scary stuff about how the "Christian" right, including reconstructionists, have taken over the leading positions of the GOP. It's not Honest Abe's party anymore!

13. Very good site

Sounds like they've got a plan.

6. Here's his pet legislation--restricting computer games?!! WTF??

Mr. FAIRCLOTH (for himself, Mr. Shelby, and Mr. Hagel) proposed an amendment to the bill, S. 1023, supra; as follows:
