Election

I read this in an old metro press, interesting facts !

I am just a normal middle class person living in Oregon, Ohio. I have lived here for the past 17 years. Our family of four loves this community, but we, like many other families in Oregon and other areas I am sure, just cannot pay any more taxes. We may have to sell our home to move to an area with lower property taxes.

Vote NO NO NO on the Oregon School Levy. Tell the School Board to fix the problem, Not Tax our Homes. Let them know that No means NO !

Taxes Are Like Drugs, Just Say NO !!

Here is the link to the resignation of Torres. Should be interesting to see where we go from here.

(in other news... Mitt Romney is dropping out)

Obama raised $7.2 million in the first 48 hours after Super Tuesday.

Through personal observation of various blog sites, it seems to me that there are those who will not be voting during the upcoming presidential election. Their reason is because there are no candidates for whom they they can, in good conscience, pull the lever.

Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels! I swear, you cannot take your eyes or ears off of the OBC for a single minute!

Here it is election year and the preceding polls ask us who to vote for. Well, George Wallace, the former governor of Alabama, once said, "There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans." Here's a take from overseas on American politics.

A new research report from the University of Maryland and the University of Michigan:

"COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Up to 1,500 votes may be cast on paper ballots in the
Republican primary today in Horry County, S.C., which includes Myrtle
Beach, because of voting machine problems due to human error on the
part of county election commission staff, who failed to properly
prepare the machines, state and county election officials said. After

"We've been wracking our brains to come up with some way to speed this up," said Jill Kelly, director of the Lucas County Board of Elections. "There's nothing we can humanly do."

She said 10,000 paper ballots could add four to five hours to her counting.

She has advised Toledo-area voters that they won't see results, for the presidential contests or for local races, on election night.

There has been a conversation here and on Glass City Jungle over the voting machines. I get so frustrated over what some people say. You hear a group of national fear mongerers who live off of attacking the voting medium. It is sad. We voted without what they demand for many years, and we have shown it can work.

Nigerian-born pastor Sunday Adaleja is calling for the church in America to recapture its love for Christ by making an impact on society.

"January 14, 2008 (Computerworld) -- Last
week's New Hampshire primary raised questions about the veracity of
tallies from electronic voting machines -- not the DRE (Direct
Recording Electronic) touchscreen machines that have drawn heavy
criticism around the country, but the optical scanners designed to

The Lucas County Board of Elections refused to certify the November election of Lisa Canales to the Washington Local Board of Education because of problems with her amended 2005 campaign finance report.

"This could potentially be a huge problem for the Washington Local board," said John Borell, a Lucas County assistant prosecutor.

I know we hash out this topic every few months, but I can't help but think these are related.

Damn- Sexist and pro illegal alien in 4 words!

If you did not hear on 1370 WSPD or on Fox 36, the Toledo Free Press will be tackling Lucas County Democrats who violate party bi-laws by contributing to non-endorsed democrats. Some of the questions that were asked were if the D's allow them to violate the contributions without sanctions, then the party is a party of men, not rules.

Yikes.
