'Smoking e-mail' implicates Jeb Bush in vote suppression

[DoYouEverWonder]

Look at this! Is this the news that the BBC is talking about?


October 23, 2004

The Sarasota Herald Tribune obtained a ?smoking e-mail? proving that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was ?personally involved? in ramrodding a new voter purge list for the 2004 election, even though the data firm that prepared it warned of its many ?flaws.?

In an exchange of e-mails last May 4, Jeff Long of the Florida Secretary of State?s office wrote that the firm ?recommended to the Gov. that they ?pull the plug? on the CVDB (Central Voter Database) primarily because they weren?t comfortable with the felon matching program? The Gov. rejected the suggestion to pull the plug so they are ?going live? with it this weekend.?

The new evidence of vote suppression by George Bush?s brother and others tied to the Bush-Cheney campaign was presented by Ralph Neas, president of People For the American Way (PFAW), and other leaders of the growing nationwide election protection movement, at an Oct. 19 news conference. (Details are available at www.pfaw.org.)

Thousands of Florida voters falsely identified as ?felons? and removed from voting rolls by Jeb Bush in 2000 are still waiting for their voting rights to be restored, journalist Greg Palast charged. African Americans in Florida, he told reporters, are ?900 percent more likely to have their votes thrown out. There is a huge racial bias and the new computer voting system increases that bias.?

4. Florida is a Democratic state

The leadership is corrupt but most of us that live here are fighting our collective butts off trying to change that. I would be willing to bet anything you care to name that there are more energized Democrats in Florida than in any other state of the union.

Instead of nuking us why don't you lend us a hand getting rid of these arseholes? We can use it.

3. These people know Exactly what they're doing.

Look...it's this simple....they figure >>

1. We make sure everyone who is suppose to vote, Votes.
That means George W Bush loses.

2. We TRY to make sure that (a lot) of Democrats don't vote.
That means George W Bush MIGHT win.

3. If we do #3, we'll catch hell for it but as everyone knows, the public has a short memory and the heat will be off of us soon and all of our crap will be forgotten.

And you know the sad thing...they're right. :(
