Country stolen by criminals with intent to devastate--LTTE-Eureka Reporter

Country stolen by criminals with intent to devastate
4/4/2006

Dear Editor,

I am 92 years of age and I have followed politics in this country for nearly as many years. There were tough times. I became an RN during the Great Depression and have known times of very little; never, however, have I feared more for this country than now.

Our country has been stolen by criminals who I fully believe intend to devastate all of the poor and working classes to benefit this small group of extremely greedy people, the same people who planned to steal our government and managed to pull it off.

I call radio shows and I send letters to members of Congress and to the newspaper. My hope is to make all aware that our government is in the worst of hands largely because of crooked trick voting machines. I have observed that even in very small voting places one machine can deliver several thousand more votes for the neo-con candidates. That is several thousand more then they have registered to vote. Many call for recounts where this kind of things happens only to learn that recounts are not possible. These machines were deliberately designed with no permanent records so there is nothing that can be recounted. That is exactly what has delivered to us the quality of leaders who are presently devastating our country.

I am calling upon all who care, as I do, to do all that we can to bring back honest elections. To make good members of Congress aware of how bad this problem is. We need to try as hard as we can to save this country from devastation. Be assured that the greedy cons have no plans for giving up any of what they have stolen and they are the type that will cheat in all ways they can and probably as much as they need to hang on to it all. I believe our country is truly at stake and we must do what we can to save it.

3. damn, I'm surprised the ER printed that....
My impression of the ER is that it's quite conservative, but in fairness I don't read it often, so I might be mistaken.

4. There is a slant but they also let us rail on the establishment w/opinions
The paper is free and can afford to lose lots of money because it is owned by Rob Arkley. The intent seems to be to drive the other daily, the Eureka Times-Standard, out of business. I know lots of people who believe the plan then is to be Fox-worthy and no longer free.

6. interesting-- I have to admit that my gut reaction is to distrust anything
...and everything associated with Rob Arkley. One really has to wonder what his motives are for giving anything away free.

So succinct in pointing out how our democracy has been stolen. Wow.
