Chicago aldermen plan to subpoena Sequoia executives

[AtLiberty]

Won't these aldermen be in for a surprise when they learn that the CEO of Smartmatic isn't allowed to fulfill the subpoena because he's been refused a visa to travel here? :D

It's muscleman time.

Sneed has learned that Ald. Ed Burke (14th) and three other aldermen fighting to halt $16 million in payments to the Venezuela-owned voting machine company that was at the center of the recent ballot-counting debacle plan to ante up their threat.

*To wit: Watch for the cadre, which also includes Ald. William Beavers (7th), City Council President Pro Tem Danny Solis (25th) and Ald. Manny Flores (1st), to request that the company's president appear before the City Council.

*The buckshot: "And if he refuses to come, we plan to subpoena him," Burke told Sneed.

there are several more alderman that i am certain will jump on this bandwagon. manny flores is a good man. expect to see joe moore soon. he was the only local dem that did not turn his back on cegelis, a deaniac, and anti-war agitator. and my alderman. (i'll call him in a minute.)
and although he did allow these machines over the objections of election advocates here, i will say again that cook county clerk david orr is a good man. i hope to see him stick it to these people.
an honest investigation into this primary could re-open the 6th dist. race, imho. christine is most certainly under pressure from her supporters to contest this election. i know she got some pressure from me. i know the dupage dems must be out of their minds with rage. cross your fingers, all.


vote this up guys. it is so very hopeful.

7. So they think Chavez is corrupting our elections?

Snip>"We plan to request the appearance of appropriate officers of Sequoia and put the head of the company under oath to respond to questions about the true ownership of the company and possible links to anti-American Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez," said Burke.
