Ohio election chief hit with new charges...
Senator says use of seal in campaign fundraising letter is illegal... Developing...

[liberal N proud]

1. Go after him!

If he is convicted we will not have to worry about his campaign for the govorner seat.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Just like Plame, and other important cases

you and I will know of it... but will it break the iron courtain of the evening news? Don't count on it... so don't count on any outrage.

Yep woke up in a very cynical mood

[Alizaryn]

3. Bravo! There is hope for justice,

[LisaM]

4. Jebbie did that too, didn't he?

but of course nothing happened to HIM.

[Pithy Cherub]

5. Have no problem with blackwell's Gov. rat rowboat being sunk...

His actions in the past election deserve ongoing scrutiny under the brightest of lights!

7. According to the law posted on

Bradblog.com, it IS illegal and the penalties are given.

Title 18 of the U.S. Code, as revised in January 1971, prohibits use of the likeness of the Great Seal or any facsimile in “any advertisement, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production” for the purpose of conveying a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the U.S. Government under threat of a fine of not more than $250 or imprisonment of not more than 6 months, or both.

12. That letter reads like satire to me

http://rawstory.rawprint.com/105/blackwell_campaign_letter_105.php

It is so ass-backwards!!! Can't copy and paste the text from the letter, but I recommend paying special attention to the last paragraph on page 3.

:puke:

[emlev]

13. kick

[newscott]

14. The sad fact of the matter is

This kind of stuff will only serve to elevate him in Republican circles.

I can see this guy running for Veep or higher in 2012.

[lonestarnot]

15. Keep after Fraudwell, because he didn't, as he apparently can't do

anything very well.

[garybeck]

17. I pray he will be the first domino to fall

BUT NOT THE LAST

[suffragette]

18. sheesh

And their defense regarding the seal is that they used a fake seal with slight design changes?
Sounds like the Vanilla Ice defense after he ripped off Bowie/Queen's great song, "Under Pressure."

[drummer55]

19. LOL.....thats awesome! I remember that one! n/t

[shraby]

22. The law states

"likeness or facimile" so it doesn't have to be exact to qualify as a no-no.

[Quakerfriend]

20. We are going to haunt Blackwell for a very long time!

[New Earth]

21. one day this pic will be reality

[corbett]

23. He's One Cracked Oreo

Haunting him will be a joy!

[JunkYardDogg]

24. Send Him Contributions-as per his Solicitation Letter

Remember his Letter requesting Campaign Contributions???
Well, it didn't say what form the contributions should be-did it
I say we send him donations & contributions
bestowing upon his dishonored ass campaign gifts worthy of a man
befitting his dignity and high degree of morality

[AtLiberty]

25. The same secretary of state who...

...on paper weight for voter registration forms?

...is to know Ohio election law inside out?
