Republicans in Ohio are going for a coup ...... HB 3 please help
http://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_marji_me_060108_action_alert_21__red_a.htm

No recounts
No audits of voting
No looking @ voting machine's software & hardware

This bill codifies election theft. End of Story. If you are in Ohio go to the hearings & or vote call your state Rep.
Call the Governor call the press. MAKE A FUCKING STINK.

Outside of Ohio contact the DNC .... your reps and senators ...... call the media too.

These Fuckers are like cockroaches and want to "feed" in the dark. They will run like the bugs they are
if we turn on the lights. "They" know that with a fair vote we will in a landslide. We have to stop this shit.




100,000 vote might be in Cleveland alone ..... bush's margin of victory.

2. time for my f*#@*ing repuke story again!
Edited on Tue Jan-10-06 12:27 PM by mod mom
While lobbying (ie The Democrat kind: NO $-VOLUNTEER) on election reform for Commoncause, I met with OH State Senator Jeffry Armbruster. Sen Armbruster told me that if I was truly interested in controlling fraud, I would be fighting for breath analyzers tests for voters because Dems pull drunks out of bars on election day!

THESE ARE THE TYPES WE ARE FIGHTING IN OHIO!

Needless to say, I was fuming. I went home and did a little research on him. Look at what an upstanding citizen Sen Armbruster is:

Two Companies Run By State Senator File For Bankruptcy
Reported by: A.P.

Two companies headed by a state senator who operates gas stations and convenience stores in the Columbus and Cleveland areas have filed for bankruptcy.

State Senator Jeffry Armbruster, a North Ridgeville Republican, is president of Armbruster Energy Enterprises and chief executive of Pinzone Armbruster Inc., both of Westlake in suburban Cleveland.

-snip

Court records show the companies owe $43,753 in delinquent state taxes and $9,879 in lottery tickets.

Armbruster Energy Enterprises also owes Shell Oil $198,722, according to court documents.

Jeffry Armbruster was the watchdog who didn't care to watch.

Jeffry Armbruster, stalwart defender of no-bid contracts.


State Senator Jeffry Armbruster's timing couldn't have been worse.

The executive director of the Ohio Turnpike Commission, Gino Zomparelli, spent August and September of last year reveling in perks from the companies feeding at his toll-funded trough. He and his family enjoyed Browns tickets courtesy of National City Bank, Indians tickets from Independence Excavating, and 11 nights of dining and entertainment with his good friends at the architecture/engineering firm of HNTB Corp.

But Armbruster thought Zomparelli needed more power, not less. On September 27, the North Ridgeville Republican introduced a bill allowing the commission to ink contracts of up to $50,000 without competitive bidding, a 500 percent increase over the current threshold -- and a great way to give the schmooze-susceptible Zomparelli even more discretion in spending turnpike money.

Armbruster says he offered the bill at the behest of commission lobbyist Patrick Patton. "I said to Pat, 'If you have this prepared, why not have a debate?'"

AND HMMMH ...LOOK AT THIS:

PHIL HELSEL, Morning Journal Writer 10/11/2004

In Lorain County, where the winner on election night isn't always the person who takes office, voters are accustomed to holding their breath for several days to see if close races and levy requests will end up being decided by provisional ballots.

-SNIP

In 2002, incumbent Commissioner Betty Blair's 13-vote margin of victory on election night swelled to 111 against Flynn once provisional ballots were tallied. Ohio Sen. Jeffry Armbruster, R-13, of North Ridgeville, saw his lead of 524 against challenger Sue Morano eventually shrink to just 370 votes after provisional ballots were counted.


IN OHIO, GUESS WHICH PARTY CONTROLS THE VOTE?

3. Do not go quietly into that dark night. Rail, rail against the dying light
The media remains silent on this issue. Do you think we'd have this corporate cone of silence if the Left were counting the votes and Republicans lost out? 2006 will be the year we see if democracy is going to survive bush.

Ohio, "This bill codifies election theft."

Last call for democracy. HB3 will live in infamy.
