GOP's Flawed Ballot Scam in 2000 Election Illegal Vote Scheme? Republican Congressman & U.S. Military Oral Majority Repeats Request: Investigate Florida Vote Fraud! |
By Jack Nichols
This is the message that has been carried for nearly nine months by Bob Kunst and his group, The Oral Majority, with ongoing reports carried in GayToday. Friday, Kunst, entering into the political arena to unseat Jeb Bush in Florida's 2002 gubernatorial race, made Governor Bush's collusion in the theft of Election 2000 the opening salvo of his 'No More Bushit' campaign.
"If you want to impeach the U.S. Supreme Court Extremists, vote for Kunst!" The crowd erupted with passionate approval. Its enthusiastic reception of these ideas no doubt surprised the other candidates. Kunst continued: "I don't care who Jeb Bush is sleeping with, but the same evil forces who stole this election on November 7th, are ready to do it again." "I wouldn't put arsenic or raw sewage in your water, as Jeb is doing," Kunst said, "nor would I drill for oil in this Paradise, but if you believe in America then we must investigate this Stolen Election, and we must all stand up and say 'NO MORE BUSHIT!' " Oral Majority's membership has, in various parts of the nation, conducted 140 protests calling attention to what they call the Bush family's blatant and illegal manipulation of Florida's election machinery. Saturday's CBS Evening News and Sunday's Times both drew national attention to a cornerstone of the American military tradition violated, apparently, as the military colluded in November with Republican operatives hoping to increase the fraudulent Bush's lead during the height of Election 2000's Florida fiasco. Calling attention to the depth of this latest Bush scandal, the New York Times noted: "It is a cornerstone of American military tradition that the armed services remain apolitical. Military regulations prohibit service members from participating in political activities. Similarly, House ethics rules and federal law forbid Congressional officials to perform political work with government resources or on government time." The U.S. Congressional official who is seemingly referred to in the Times expose, is Republican Representative Steve Buyer of Indiana who'd sent a letter to each of the armed services asking for the phone numbers or e-mail addresses of a number of service men and women. Military assistance was forthcoming and attempts to manipulate Florida's election results thus made. Six hundred and eighty flawed ballots, according to the Times, were recorded as valid, while through GOP schemes involving county election officials, similarly collected Democratic ballots were summarily dumped. Mr. Bush was reported to have "won" the essential state of Florida by fewer than 600 votes, and yet what the Times now calls flawed ballots exceeded that number. Gubernatorial candidate Bob Kunst, who testified before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, referred to the Commission's report on the election which stated that African-American voters were ten times more likely to have been disenfranchised by Florida's GOP officials. "Bush trickery," he said, "Jeb and W. both have got to go." The candidate, upon hearing on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. of the Bush camp's trickery, immediately fired off letters to Democratic Senate Leader Tom Daschle and to U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft. He requested of both government officials that they investigate in Florida an astonishing trail of a chicanery that has already become floating ballot- debris, conducted on behalf of George W. Bush. Letters sent by Oral Majority's Bob Kunst to U. S. Senator Tom Daschle and to U. S. Attorney General John Ashcroft requesting that Florida's stolen election be investigated. The letters were sent Saturday, July 14 prior to 9pm: Dear Senator Daschle: Below you will find our request for an investigation into Florida's Stolen Election 2000. On January 6, 2001, when the Congressional Black Caucus was pleading for one U.S. Senator to join and allow to be made public a record of their protest of Florida's electoral fraud, not one U.S. Senator from either party stepped forward to defend America's interests. We do hope that in the wake of Senator Jefford's defection from the GOP and with the Democratic ascension to majority status--armed with subpoena power - you will now, immediately, investigate this election fraud. The U.S. Senate must first deal with the stolen election before considering voter reform. This about America. It is not about Democrats or about Al Gore. Any politician who ignores the fact of this electoral fraud does so at his or political peril. The public is demanding accountability and responsibility. As it is, it appears that the Republicans stole the election and Democrats, except for a meager few, helped through silence, to cover up the crime. Here is the carbon of Oral Majority's letter to Attorney General Ashcroft, including the current New York Times expose. Oral Majority will gladly testify before your committee hearings.
Yours faithfully, Dear Attorney General Ashcroft: When you recently came to Little Havana in Miami at the Versailles restaurant, Oral Majority demonstrated outside demanding that you investigate Florida's stolen election 2000. We have sent you 15 points for focus in this proposed investigation including 20 out of 67 supervisors of elections not having done a mandatory machine recount affecting 1,800,000 Floridians who are yet to be recounted; 4,000 accused of being felons when they were not; 2,000 illegals who were allowed to vote;16,000 manipulated voters not allowed a new ballot after errors; 2,600 voting fraud cases with which Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth has done nothing, as well as 30,000 voter fraud affidavits the Democrats have gathered and locked away. In addition we referred to $500,000 spent by Jeb Bush to mishandle illegally 100,000 absentee ballots, not only in Seminole and Martin counties, but in Clay and all the northeast counties coming out of Alachua County, illegally manipulated by the Republican Party. We have protested 140 times in 26 cities and garnered mention from 600 media outlets who have heard Oral Majority call the GOP's behavior HIGH TREASON, and tell why I am running in the Democratic Primary for Governor to expose the full scandal revolving around Florida's stolen votes. Now this enclosed NY Times article (below) was also the lead story on CBS tonight. It exposes fraud perpetrated on the American people by U.S. Rep. Buyers, a House Republican who was a key Clinton impeachment promoter, in collusion with the Pentagon, as well as the Armed Services Committee who colluded with the Congressman by facilitating illegal military personnel votes, helping to steal the election for George W Bush. It is forbidden for Congressional officials to perform political work with government resources or on government time. This illegal activity requires that your office commit IMMEDIATELY to a Federal Investigation of this STOLEN ELECTION, and Oral Majority is hereby making this a formal request which will be sent as well to Senator Tom Daschel asking that the Congress open hearings on this crisis. At the very moment in November during which Broward County was counting ballots on Thanksgiving and when Katherine Harris accepted this standard, Palm Beach County's Election Supervisor, "Butterfly Ballot"-maker Theresa LePore decided with one of three judges that she and her staff should vacation, doing nothing on Thanksgiving, and watching seemingly helpless as her county's ballots were adjudged late and not acceptable by Florida Secretary of State Harris. The conspiracy thickens. Meanwhile, Oral Majority was protesting on the outside on all of this Election Theft, while a Republican rent-a-mob gang was sent to South Florida to put a stop to any voter recounts. These operatives came from across the country, funded via Verizon through Representative Tom Delay, to intimidate and divert the media's attention already diverted by the 'military' ballot scam that is described in Sunday's New York Times lead article below. Our country is in deep trouble. You have both a moral and legal requirement to pursue the 'truth' about this Stolen Election, even if it costs you your job. This fraudulence must be further investigated and exposed. I am confident that the outcome will see the Bush administration driven from office. I await your immediate response to this emergency request, and we will gladly testify before the U.S. Justice Department and to any Congressional Committee on all and any information we have uncovered.
Yours faithfully, |
