So, I just spoke to my mother who works at a large newspaper in Akron, Ohio, and Ken Blackwell is at it again. The latest?! He's moved to BAN all reporters and news workers from the polling stations tomorrow. That's right, HE'S BANNING REPORTERS SO THERE'S NO DOCUMENTATION OF THE FRAUD THEY'RE ABOUT TO COMMIT. Well, of course, a bunch of reporters aren't going to have that, so they recieved an injunction to stop that new rule from taking effect. Somehow, my mom was designated the person to track down Ken Blackwell's fax number so that they could fax him a copy of the injunction. She called his office and while the girl she spoke to was looking for the appropriate number, my mom noticed something odd in the background. Dozens of people from KEN BLACKWELL'S office were calling potential voters saying "Hi! I'm calling from Planned Parenthood and I wanted to make sure you were voting for John Kerry." My mom was a little confused so to clarify, she again asked the girl on the phone "This is Ken Blackwell's office right?" to which the girl answered "Ohh yes yes yes!" which confirmed the horrifying. People from Ken Blackwell's, the man who is to oversee the elections in Ohio, office are calling registered voters, pretending they are calling from Planned Parenthood to determine who are Kerry supporters. One can only imagine what they are planning to do with this information! My mom is contacting a reporter about what she overheard, but I wanted to get this information out there in case there is something else that can be done!!!

1. They Don't Need "Information" |
|
They're calling people, pretending to be Planned Parenthood in support of John Kerry, to get out the "Pro-Life" vote.
Sort of like calling and saying, "Hi, this is George from the Ku Klux Klan. We're just calling to make sure you're voting for George W. Bush tomorrow."
