Republicans are crooks. Let's prove it.

Clearly, Blackwell belongs in jail for multiple elections crimes. The people in Ohio need to work on getting him arrested and prosecuted. But there are a lot of other elected or appointed Republicans in a lot of areas (whether in State or County offices)who feel they are above the law and are making mistakes. So how about if we form a bunch of task forces to gather evidence on Republican official and get them prosecuted? It's one possible way of cleaning up this country.

It may take some sit-ins & protests to get anything going, prosecution - wise with Rumsfeld, etc.

Texas to Florida: White House-linked clandestine operation paid for "vote switching" software


By Wayne Madsen
December 6, 2004

—The manipulation of computer voting machines in the recent presidential election and the funding of programmers who were involved in the operation are tied to an intricate web of shady off-shore financial trusts and companies, shady espionage operatives, Republican Party politicians close to the Bush family, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contract vehicles.

An exhaustive investigation has turned up a link between current Florida Republican Representative Tom Feeney, a customized Windows-based program to suppress Democratic votes on touch screen voting machines, a Florida computer services company with whom Feeney worked as a general counsel and registered lobbyist while he was Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, and top level officials of the Bush administration.

According to a notarized affidavit signed by Clint Curtis, while he was employed by the NASA Kennedy Space Center contractor, Yang Enterprises, Inc., during 2000, Feeney solicited him to write a program to "control the vote." At the time, Curtis was of the opinion that the program was to be used for preventing fraud in the in the 2002 election in Palm Beach County, Florida.

His mind was changed, however, when the true intentions of Feeney became clear: the computer program was going to be used to suppress the Democratic vote in counties with large Democratic registrations.

According to Curtis, Feeney and other top brass at Yang Enterprises, a company located in a three-story building in Oviedo, Florida, wanted the prototype written in Visual Basic 5 (VB.5) in Microsoft Windows and the end-product designed to be portable across different Unix-based vote tabulation systems and to be "undetectable" to voters and election supervisors.
