A New York State of Election Fraud for Ron Paul by Gigi Bowman Page 1 of 1 page(s) |
|
 
|
It's not hard to live in a New York State of Election Fraud when the candidate whom you are campaigning for is Ron Paul. It's not that hard for someone to start an ugly rumor, "Ron Paul has dropped out of the race" and get away with it on Primary Day in New York when you have the likes of the New York Times, New York Newsday, the New York Post, the Daily News and the Wall Street Journal ignoring your candidate as if he did not exist. When you have little choice on mainstream news radio and WABC, home of the Conservative Demi-Gods, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Laura Ingram, et al, are ignoring your choice of Presidential candidate as if he weren't even running for President. When you have your favorite cable news channels CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, ABC, CBS or C-Span skipping over your choice of candidate during debates, polls, and even when showing primary result facts by skipping over his face and percentage in favor of the next guy running behind him. It's not hard to believe when you have High School history teachers leaving his face off the list of Presidential candidates along with the delegates they have won thus far (http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_gigi_bow_080130_is_ron_paul_running_.htm ). So no, it is not hard to get away with a rumor and a lie and it did not come as too much of a shock when I got a phone call from one of my meet-up members, Ron Paul delegate Gabe Razzano, that his 76 year old mother called him from her polling place at Giblyn School in Freeport, Long Island to let him know that she could not vote for her choice of candidate, Ron Paul, because she was told he had dropped out of the race. A few weeks ago I looked at my election card that arrived in the mail telling me where to vote. I got this card because I recently moved and had to reregister. Right on the card it asks if I want to make $160 to work in a polling place on coming election days. I guess you don't have to have any formal training for this job or even have knowledge of whom is actually running for office? You just have to be a warm body?? Well there were quite a few warm bodies with no knowledge of the candidates all over New York State who apparently were fed the same rumor "Ron Paul has dropped out of the Race" because this rumor spread far and wide! When Gabe Razzano went to the polling place on Tuesday evening where his mother tried to vote for Ron Paul he was told the same thing, "Ron Paul has dropped out of the race" He was actually shown the display card which by law must hang on the wall and where they had crossed out Ron Paul's name along with Rudy Giuliani's. Gabe did the only thing he could do, he called the police. The Freeport Police arrived and asked what the problem was. Gabe proceeded to tell them that his mother tried to vote for Ron Paul but was told she could not because he had dropped out of the race when in fact he had not. The police officer, Sargent Essex, went out to his car, spoke to his superior and came back in to tell Gabe that there was apparently no problem as "Ron Paul had dropped out of the Race". *Note, when Gabe went to pick up the police report yesterday, the police officer left off the fact that he said that Ron Paul had dropped out of the race. Gabe has 3 witnesses that the police officer said this. Well, Ron Paul has NOT dropped out of the race for President of the United States of America. And Freeport Long Island is not the only place where this rumor spread....... when Steve Miller, a volunteer poll watcher for Ron Paul, called in a report that a woman was trying to vote for Ron Paul at her polling place, PS 180 in Brooklyn, when her machine malfunctioned. She was given an emergency ballot and was informed by multiple poll workers that she could not vote for Ron Paul because he was not on the ballot. ( http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/supertuesday/2008/02/ron-paul-backer-cries-foul-in.html) Eventually she was able to vote when they realized they were wrong. But what about the people who tried to vote earlier?
giblyn school display card
Eddie in Monroe County, New York, was told by a poll monitor in his county that Ron Paul had been taken off the list. He knew better as he is also a grass-roots volunteer for Ron Paul but he wonders at other's who were easily convinced by these misinformed people? Tim M in Marlton, NJ --our friendly next door state-- had a member of his meet-up come to the rescue by calling the appropriate agencies when a particular polling place in his town were telling the voters that they can't vote for Ron Paul because he had dropped out. There are more stories. I started a thread on a Ron Paul message board and stories keep coming in but there are already youtubes all over the country of this sort of thing happening in many of the Super-Tuesday states.
On closing....my fifteen year daughter was helping at her high school on Tuesday night for Super Tuesday. When she came home I told her about what was going on with the Ron Paul election fraud situation and her exact words were "Yeah, I heard today from lots of my friends that Ron Paul had dropped out"........
Is this all a coinsidence? If you have a story, please come out and tell us. If we all tell our stories maybe we can make a difference..... otherwise, you know what's coming next... "If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right."

Not surprised
Well I'm a Ron Paul supporter so don't expect me to be surprised in the least. And if there were over 100,000 stories like this you might get a mention from a radical local paper. At this point, I seriously didn't flinch over this story, I have been following this election process too closely and have seen so much that this story adds nothing to my bewilderment. by Scott Miner (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 11 comments) on Thursday, Feb 7, 2008 at 3:11:39 PM  (0+)

It's hard to even write a comment to this... Thank you for pointing it out...and it does make me want to smash things... You've done yourself and your community a service...because the truth is worth saying... Too bad the people who could make a difference certainly don't want the truth told...

I heard this on Super Tuesday
My mother is a poll worker in our town, so imagine my surprise when she stopped home for lunch and told me that everyone said that Ron Paul dropped out of the race weeks ago and there wasn't time to remove his name from the ballot and that you'll be wasting your vote if you vote for him. I had to show her she was wrong and demanded to know if it was the poll workers who were telling that to Paul supporters to get them to change their vote. She said it wasn't poll workers (or I would have gone down there and made a big scene) but people coming in to vote. Ron Paul is very dangerous if the opposition has to resort to spreading rumors that he isn't even running anymore in order to get votes for their candidate. by Watching (0 articles, 1 quicklinks, 3 diaries, 313 comments [1 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Thursday, Feb 7, 2008 at 4:50:53 PM (0+)

It happened in East Tennessee....
Although I don't believe the police were called, my son called me to ask me why Ron Paul had dropped out of the race. I told him he hadn't and he said they were telling that all over the Knoxville area and so many he had convinced to vote for Ron had decided not to vote at all since he dropped out. He told me (however correct or not) that it was announced on Fox News. I haven't confirmed this myself but it wouldn't surprise me. It's my opinion it was a big conspiracy as these aren't the only reports of this happening that i've read. by liza G (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 1 comments) on Thursday, Feb 7, 2008 at 5:24:39 PM (0+)

Its a shame!
America is stinking real bad. We cannot even have free elections. The choices are made for us, and there is nothing we are going to do about it. These people own the news, Own the laws, Own the law makers, own the judges. This is not a free nation we are all being ruled by the bankers. The public has been put to sleep by some very good propoganda, The alarm bells are going off big time and the nation is not waking up yet. The apathy is defining by xj digger (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 1 comments) on Friday, Feb 8, 2008 at 2:12:32 AM (0+)

teachers overwhelmed and often ignorant
There are many teachers who are passionate about their work. Most are overwhelmed with paperwork (I'm a 13 year vet teacher, but not history). That said, ignorance of politics and the constitution is quite rampant. It's no surprise to hear of the sick rumors. Sadly, democracy in America is on its sickbed (or deathbed). There is the tyranny of an oligarchy of bankers and the military industrial complex who do NOT want RON PAUL coming to power. Good luck, Dr. Paul by deecee (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 4 comments) on Friday, Feb 8, 2008 at 6:07:25 AM (0+)

Reply: passionate
I left out one more thought about teachers: Teachers (esp. history teachers) tend to be passionate about their work (just often too overwhelmed with paperwork or too burnt out to keep up to date on politics or the constitution). One more point: Hillary has promised to bring "home" tons of $$$ for education and try to undo NCLB. Expect many teacher votes in NY to go to her.

Another Dirty Trick and What You Could Do About It
Gigi: Thank you for spreading the word about another dirty trick used to throw elections. Unfortunately, reporting it to Congress will not be enough to get anything done about it. See how they handled the election contests that resulted from Florida’s 2006 "election." http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_mark_ada_070919_how_to_take_action_o.htm Everyone knows that the people are supposed to be able to peacefully remove bad leaders through elections, but what if those who control the machines, and their secret vote count, want bad leaders in power? Is there another way that citizens can prevent abuse of power without resorting to violence? Yes, there is or was another way to hold our governors accountable without resorting to violence. If you want to find out about the other civil check on government abuse of power that our Founders provided for us, then read What Happens When the People Lose the Power to Control Government and What You Can Do to Take the Power Back? http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_mark_ada_080204_what_happens_when_th.htm If you want another idea about how to handle the complaints about the rumors that were spread by poll workers, read this article. If you care about the safety of your family, read this article now, and send it to all of your contacts today. Now is the time for action! Did you know that counting votes in secret is unconstitutional? If not, don’t keep yourself in the dark any longer, see Project Vote Count www.ProjectVoteCount.com Project Vote Count’s Election News http://www.projectvotecount.com/ElectionNews.aspx and Project Vote Count’s FAQ http://www.projectvotecount.com/faq.aspx by Mark Adams (20 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 312 comments [39 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Friday, Feb 8, 2008 at 8:20:28 PM (0+)

America gone to hell
From the beginning I knew this was a very big possibility. It just shows you that America has gone to hell and nothing will happen if Americans don't get off their butts and begin taking this country back. This is so serious that if we cannot even trust the voting process we have totally lost all our freedoms and rights. Our government is only steps away from a dictatorship. Another thought to consider, Bush the dictator could call Marshal Law and delay the elections indefinately. This is a real possibility. by Rick Theile (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 50 comments [1 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Friday, Feb 8, 2008 at 8:29:26 PM (0+)

Sad...
What makes me sad is thinking about the courage it takes to vote for Ron Paul in the face of all the disinformation and media blackouts. And then to actually show up to vote your conscience and have someone tell you your candidate has dropped out when they haven't... That really hurts. And, of course, it's going to make a lot of people angry when they figure this whole thing out and realize how badly they've been lied to. by Tom deSabla (3 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 51 comments) on Sunday, Feb 10, 2008 at 9:32:25 PM (0+)

Ron Paul
Ron Paul spoke at the FreedomFest conference last year and he has been invited again this year to join our 100 plus speakers and 1,000 plus attendees in Las Vegas on July 10 -12 at Freedomfest 2008. We must do what we can to get the message of liberty, a return to limited constitutional government and free markets out to the American public.
