Last Friday, all 41 Republicans in the Senate announced that they would stand with the big banks to oppose Wall Street reform legislation. To me, that’s a smack in the face of every American who has been affected by all the fraud perpetrated on us. When you stand with special interests and then threaten to filibuster what you can’t defeat with a vote, your just a corporate puppet and you don’t deserve the honor of working in the "peoples house".

will people go to jail for voter fraud?

ALBANY, GA (WALB) – There are allegations of voter fraud, as a Dougherty County family claims the vote of a mentally challenged relative was stolen.

They say the adult day rehab program where Jack Justice attends took him to vote, without the family’s permission. What’s worse is Justice says the person helping him wouldn’t cast the ballot for his choice for President.

Jack Justice has been voting since he turned 18. Typically his family takes him to their neighborhood precinct. This time Primus Industries, his adult day rehab program, took him to vote. His family was shocked, but what shocked them more was that Jack claims that his aide commandeered his vote.

"They told me to vote for Obama, I said no I wanted to vote for McCain," said Jack Justice, a voter.

Jack Justice says the person helping him, selected Obama’s name. His sister says the family is often asked to sign a permission slips for trips, but for this they were never notified.

"No permission slips, no nothing, he just came home and said he had gone," said Nancy Justice, Jack’s sister.

We questioned election officials about the procedure, who say they recall the group coming in to vote and an aide was helping the individuals, but they must sign an oath that they’ll cast the ballot however the voter prefers.

"So it plainly says the person should tell the person how they want to vote and then they help them mark it," said Carolyn Hatcher, Dougherty County Elections Supervisor.

Election officials say they can’t follow people into the booth to see what happens. We contacted the Albany Area Community Service Board who oversees Primus Industries. They say they do their best to protect the safety, treatment, and care of the individuals in their programs. They also said they’ll look into the allegations and conduct an internal investigation if necessary. Nancy Justice is just upset the incident happened.

"For me it was kind of pushing it to the limit there to get him to vote for someone in particular who they wanted him to vote for," said Nancy Justice.

Election officials say the family’s only option is to file a challenge to the election results. The Justice’s are considering their options.

Advance voting will begin this Monday at the Riverfront Resource Center on Pine Avenue. Advance voted will run through October 31st. No one will be able to vote the Monday prior to election day.

Is Barack lying or was there fraud committed?

Barack voted no as an Ill state senator on a bill that would give medical treatment to babies born after botched abortions. He claims that if the bill would have matched the federal bill he would have voted yes. Problem is that both bills are identical in wording. Barack even voted yes to amend the Illinois bill to match the amendment on the federal bill. So is he lying about his vote, or did someone commit fraud and change the bill later? If there was fraud, why is he a Constitutional lawyer not going after the person who committed fraud?
Morbius- I have, as I explained. Do you have an answer?

No COLA for SSA recipients in 2010 or 2011?

(COLA is cost of living adjustment it’s a yearly raise for Social Security beneficiaries to account for inflation and expecting bills to go up for the new year as well.)

This is the worst time of the economy to do this…..the bills in 2010 and 2011 will still go up but now their income won’t.

They claim that they make up with it with a one-time 0.00 payment in 2009 (2010 for some).

How about suspending the COLA for members of Congress (who by the way vote yes every year to give themselves substantial raises in salary) or the COLA for federal employees who receive substantial salaries (I used to be a federal employee so I know they make good money)? Rather than the people who need it the most.

If you oppose this, send a simple email to your Senators and Representatives or you can write a letter in more detail asking them to oppose the no cost of living adjustment for 2010-2011 for SSA recipients. Here is a template that will help if you need ideas or guidelines for your letter or email: http://www.ncpssm.org/pdf/cola_senate_20… and if you need assistance in locating the Representatives and Senators for your state and districts go to http://www.congress.gov. Please write to all your Reps and Senators despite their or your political affiliation.

Please don’t comment or answer if nothing like this has ever happened to you and all you want to do is complain about people on SSA or the system itself because no one cares. Speak from experience only if you have been on SSA or are currently on SSA. I don’t want to hear from those who have no experience in dealing with SSA or have never had to use it.

SSA is NOT a scam I used to work there, I know every detail how it works. The problem is there isn’t enough money for the generation after the baby boomers. However this decision not to pay the COLA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SSA SYSTEM or its debt! They are trying to save money but instead could be taking the COLA from the rich congressmen and representatives or take the COLA from federal employees who make good money anyway. SSA was created to help the people not to hurt them. I wouldn’t want to live in a country where we didn’t take care of our sick, poor, or aged. This is mostly regarding the disabled which is unexpected. Most elderly did save for retirement but its not enough or recent invest scams or IRA that isn’t worth anything due to economy plummeting.

Get involved against taking the COLA from SSA and SSI recipients by emailing or writing your Representative or Senator with the info above. you can also email CREDO at info@credo action.com to ask them to get involved against taking the only raise from SSA beneficiaries when our bills will still go up. GET INVOLVED ESPECIALLY those who are on the program. This effects you so I hope you decide to get involved and do what you can to get this decision reversed!!!!!

Focus on the issue of taking the only raise from SSA recipients. They are doing this to pay for health care reform and the national debt and they are not put it back in to the SSA system. That wouldn’t even make a dent.

Instead of talking about the SSA system itself, lets talk specifically about taking the COLA from the people who need it the most on SSA.
I think you have it backwards on this one, he is taking from the poor in this case to pay for health care and our debt.

With so many stories in the news of security breaches involving credit cards, do you think it is possible to hold a secure election with electronic voting units? Our identities have already been stolen, but is it our vote that is next?

I will cast my vote against any incumbent running for reelection in my district who voted for providing 700 Billion in taxpayer funds to recapitalize private investment firms and others who made bad investments.

We, the people, must remove those congressional schemers who support the internationally-coordinated doctrine of corporate totalitarianism.

And preserve the Document that defines what it means to be an American!

shut down big oil?

Oil companies like to play a shell (no pun intended) game.
company 1 has 3 subsidiaries.
a sells to b who sells to c who sells again to a
the oild never moves, but the 'sale' price climbs so each company can make a profit and then the ficticiously expensive gas hits your friendly neighborhood gas pump!
fraud and it happens daily!
OIl companies generally announce 350%-500% profits
WOW
and none of it helps our economy (with the exceptions of the boards of said companies). The US gov't puts a HUGE tax per gallon and when is the last time you got 1/10 cent change for your gallon?

time to shake up the system and force, by law, the constant flow of oil, no make believe shortages!
TEXAS and OKLAHOMA produce huge amounts of oil, but they pay more than the nat'l average at times

FRAUD!!!
ALASKAN pipeline oil goes to JAPAN for 50% of what we pay for arab oil!
FRAUD!!!
Let Japan buy arab oil and we can drop prices selling our own
tyvm!

Opinions?
VOTE FOR INDEPENDANTS ( and independence) AND VOTE OUT INCUMBANTS IN '08
VOTE FOR ART HAGLUND IN '08
A healthy country, a constitutional government and better choice!
