TX Van Os not conceding yet...Crawford Iconoclast.

[madfloridian]

This is a great little paper. Mine came in the mail today from Oct. But the newest is now online. Good article about Van Os running for judge. He is a Dean Dozen.

For some reason it won't let me copy paste a snip from the article.

1. Van Os IS A Scrappy Fighter - When He Gets A Burr Up The Saddle

He will find it come what may.

His argument is the legitimate argument.

How can we trust these machines when we have no idea what the software is doing?

When I observed errors in the ES&S iVotronic machines in Dallas, County, I decided that I would not vote on them and waited until election day to use a scannable paper ballot.

Our Continuing Mission

Message to Supporters and Allies

From David Van Os -- November 14, 2004



Over two and a-quarter centuries ago our mission in the world as Americans was forged in revolution against imperial tyranny and framed in the noble words of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The Constitutional democracy and liberties borne by history’s greatest revolution are the birthright of each of us as Americans. As Americans we are proud of our birthright and we are proud of our historical mission. That mission continues in the heart of each of us.



Today, we are called upon to preserve that mission, and to protect it from those who seek to obstruct Constitutional checks and balances and who seek to render Constitutional liberties subject to radical Republican sufferance. Since those who currently seek to undermine the vision of Washington and Jefferson are rooted in Texas, this state is one of the primary battlefields in the fight to preserve the spirit of our Constitutional framework.



For my part, the fight continues. I am sure that is the case with you, too. While I am disappointed that political operatives of my Party, who constructed strategy this year, did not understand the significance of Texas as a battlefield, let you and I together assure the opponents of the Constitution that Texas is not a free ride for them. The battle is joined and the fight continues.

Statement of David Van Os Regarding Texas Supreme Court Contest



I recognize that my opponent will be declared to have received the most votes. However, I cannot in good conscience concede an election when millions of votes were cast on electronic machines that do not provide verification that the vote was recorded as the voter intended.



I am sad for the people of Texas. It appears that according to the vote-counters the people of Texas continue to be in the grip of the Republican power machine that does not serve the interests of the people. However, as they say in East Texas where I grew up, I’ll fight ‘em ‘til hell freezes over and then I’ll fight ‘em on the ice. I am committed to the fight to restore Texas to a place that serves the people’s interests instead of the selfish special interests.



Although winning this fight evidently will take longer than I was hoping, I intend to be around for a long time and I am committed to the fight. It was an honor to be at the side of so many of you in the particular phase of the fight represented by the 2004 general election contest for a seat on the Texas Supreme Court.
