Blogged by Brad en route to Denver…
While we put a lot of miles on our car, at our own expense, we’re not nearly clever enough to figure out how to get to places like Hawaii or Cape Cod, much less trick the government into picking up the tab like the DoJ’s John “Minorities Die First” Tanner.
But we will be visiting lovely Denver for a day or two in December, as we’ve been invited to speak this weekend at Progress Now’s Root Camp on our way back towards Los Angeles.
If you’re in the ‘hood, please stop by for some Election Integrity strategizing in the Mile High City and to say hello! In addition to discussing EI and blogging at the free conference, we’ll also be moderating a Q&A to follow a screening of David Earnhardt’s new documentary UNCOUNTED: The New Math of American Elections. Would love to see ya there!
UPDATE 12/2/07: Had a great time in Denver, even with all of those nosy bloggers hanging around!









Here some weirdness with AARP and something called ICS Survey.
I was reading the AARP BULLETIN DECEMBER 2007, and on page 8, left side, there’s something called “The Poll” and the topic was “Voting Choices” (I clipped it out for evidence, if someone wants to see later on.)
First lets just show the poll, then we’ll get into the weirdness.
The Poll
Voting Choices
Do You Favor:
Age: Under 50 | 50-Plus
A national, totally computer-based voting system
YES 48% | 35%
NO 46% | 54% (Hello!?)
Time off for voting
YES 63% | 60%
NO 34% | 38%
A national holiday on election day
YES 43% | 38%
NO 54% | 60%
Expanded voting by mail
YES 53% | 51%
NO 42% | 45% (huh?!>
Same-day registration and voting
YES 54% | 39%
NO 41% | 56% (What?!)
Making voting mandatory
YES 17% | 15%
NO 82% | 83%
(Survey of 1,001 adults age 18 and older conducted by ICR between Oct. 25 and Oct. 29, 2007.)

Okay, SERIOUS ALERT and ALARM BELLS are going off over here! How about you?!
Now for the weird part, If you go to
http://www.aarp.org/bulletin/index.html
right now, the link is still up, but the link is broken. I Scrapbook’ed this page for evidence.
If you search
http://www.aarp.org/search_adva...8;x=0&y=0
You get…

These Links ALL WORK.

http://www.aarp.org/bulletin/to...fcontents.html
But if you go to http://www.aarp.org/bulletin/index.html
You find at the very bottom, the last paragraph.
http://www.aarp.org/bulletin/yo...g_choices.html
AND THAT LINK IS BROKEN!!! Guess they didn’t want to elaborate on this misquoted, misinformation.
So then I head over to http://www.icrsurvey.com/
(The ones who did the survey)
You’ll notice that conveniently the “voting choices” survey is missing, it should be in between these dates. (I scrapbook’ed that too)
The Ghost of Christmas Past (10/31/2007)
Halloween poll: So, what’s scary to Americans? (10/28/2007)
-=-=-=-
What I guess I am saying here, is that this looks like a straight up attack to spread misinformation to AARP members!!
This straight up makes me angry in multiple different ways. One is the disservice the corporate media has done to us to make adults age 18 and older this stupid about this issue, and the other thing is the way this survey was pushed out, with no way to validate the sources.
SHAME ON AARP BULLETIN editors for getting sucked into ICS’s propaganda.
The other thing that’s weird is the way AARP BULLETIN describes the link, which has NOTHING to do with the questions asked!?
see for yourself…
The Bulletin Poll: Voting Choices
Our exclusive monthly survey reveals most voters believe requiring voter ID cards will prevent people from voting who are not qualified. However, some feel it will keep many qualified minorities and older voters from the polls.
So, what’s going on here exactly, and what forces are at play?
This is some really nasty stuff. Our country needs to be warned about these un-validate-able, unverifiable, complete threat to national security, broken, failing, vote flipping, devices that electronically tabulate votes.
COME ON CORPORATE MEDIA, WAKE THE HELL UP, IT WILL BE YOUR LIVES THAT GET DESTROYED BY THIS MADNESS TOO!
One other thing I just noticed.
On the COVER of AARP BULLETIN DECEMBER 2007, to the left side of “the candidates and their parents” , it says, “Bulletin Poll Should Failing to Vote Be a Crime? PAGE 8”
So the cover headline is misleading also, to put that acceptance of computer-based voting is “okay” into people’s head.
Man that’s pure evil.
That is wierd Phil. Thanks for the heads up.
Brad,
you are near SuperMAX, the federal joint second only to Gitmo in bushie fame land.
Can you stop by and see if Dr. Doe is working there? My guess is that he is working there or at Gitmo.
Check this out:
(You’re Doin a Heckuva Job Doey). The lawsuit points out that execution can be like those cases where patients wake up and feel the pain during an operation.
This TORTURE DOCTOR, like preznit blush can’t speak english or add:
(ibid, emphasis added). This is why I think the bushies hired him and sent him to Gitmo or SuperMAX … “he torcha lik a muthafucha” according to KKKarl the bushie, who should wake up and feel the pain he has put upon humanity.
Check it out in wonderful Colorado Brad!
Brad,
SuperMAX is in Florence, Colorado.
The rumor is that Reid cancelled the recent recess of the Senate because he heard that preznit blush was going to nominate Dr. Doe (see post 4 supra) for surgeon general.
The scuttlebutt was that preznit blush thought the “Doe” was “dough” as in money, and thought noone could be a better doc than one named money.
Could be just a rumor, but “it [definitely] could happen”.
One main problem with Dr. Doe (post 4 above), is that in the US, many innocent folk are put to death:
(Rocky Mountain High Innocent Death Rate).
Stop torturing innocent Americans!
