I just received this from a dear friend of mine who posts on AOL Message Boards along with me. Thank you Fly!
commissioners@allencountyohio.com
PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND..LETS GET THOUSANDS OF EMAILS SENT TO THIS GUY!! THIS WAS FROM A COMMISSIONER OF ELECTIONS IN OHIO..AND I FIND IT REPULSIVE AS DO MANY ON THE WEB SITES...THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS AND THIS IS MY LETTER TO THIS COMMISSIONER..MAY I SUGGEST OTHERS PLEASE WRITE THIS MAN AND TELL HIM WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS , AND THAT HE HAS NO RIGHT TO DENEGRATE THE VOTES OF AMERICAN FOR A FAIR AND JUST ELECTION!! Keith Cunningham, director of the Allen County Board of Elections and incoming president of the Ohio Association of Election Officials, called the lawsuit "frivolous," adding that he might mobilize counties to resist a recount.
"Commissioners are beginning to understand - and if they don't, will understand soon - what kind of financial impact this is going to have on them, in a year when elections already cost a great deal more than expected," said Cunningham, a Republican.
The two former third-party candidates have said they raised more than $150,000 to cover the state's fee for a recount. Ohio law requires payment of $10 per precinct, or $113,600 statewide, but election officials say the true expense would be far greater.
LoParo has estimated the actual cost at $1.5 million. Dear Keith Cunningham, I am a citizen of the U.S.A. My father, grand father , 2 brothers , and husband , all fought in the uniform of this nation . My grandfather was on the U.S.S. arizona in ww1, and left his eye on it as a gunner. My father fought in the South Pacific, and died young as a result of malaria and getting Rhumatic fever in the jungles of the South Pacific, after being left on an island by Mac Arthur , left for dead for over 6 months.They all fought for our vote. It did not occur to them that our vote was "FRIVOLOUS", IT DID NOT OCCUR TO MY BROTHERS AND HUSBAND THAT FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES IN VIETNAM , THAT THEIR VOTE WAS FRIVOLOUS!!!!!!! How dare you ?? How dare you even intimate that the votes or recounting our votes, to know if glitches occurred or even if the votes are correct , or fraud has taken place, is frivolus!!!!!!! Was it frivolous when my brothers were knee deep in jungle with leaches all over their bodies?? Was it frivolus when my husband returned from Nam , and didnt sleep for years?? Was it frivolus for you when my next door neighbor and my brothers best friend came home from Nam with 2 legs and an arm missing??? I am fucking sick of people like you!!..Maybe you ought to give up your vote!! Yes you give up yours , you are not worthy of a vote in this nation of laws and democracy!! My words to you , i will parce...you can go striaght to hell bubba!! And when you discuss the money??!! 1.5 million to recount our votes, well sir may i remind you we are at present spending over 5 Billion dollars a MONTH in iraq on a war of lies..yes a war of lies. I am a just retired flight attendant for one of the airlines that was involved in 9/11 and i can assure you if you are too dumb to know the truth by now..Saddam had nothing to do with killing my 47 co-workers..NOTHING!! THERE WERE NO WMD, THERE WAS NO IMMINENT THREAT FROM IRAQ! In conclusion...shut your mouth and count the votes, its your job and your obligation...how dare you call american votes frivolous!!!!!!!!!!!! How dare you spit on my democracy!!! How dare you frivolize the votes of americans , while we have our kids dying for a lies of a war, and over 100,000 Iraqi's citizens dying for a vote!!!!!!!!!!!!! you make me sick! from a concerned PROUD AMERICAN VOTER!
