"And John Podesta, President Bill Clinton's former chief of staff and currently the president of the Center for American Progress, has sent us this statement:

"Women's Voices. Women Vote has a strong record of registering disenfranchised people so that they can participate in the political process. As a board member, I was aware of the general parameters of the group's voter registration program, but not the details of its execution. With respect to the calls and mailings made in North Carolina, I understand that remedial action is being undertaken. I agree with fellow board member William McNary that the North Carolina state calling program was a mistake of judgment and execution, and not an attempt to disenfranchise voters, and have been assured by Page Gardner, President of WVWV, that the organization will conduct a full and prompt accounting of the circumstances of the voter registration program for its board of directors."

That is just BS...it was not a "mistake in judgment"....it had to be deliberate.

From the comments there:

"A lot of apologies but nobody has yet fingered the telemarketer who was hired to make the calls. Why?

Because the telemarketer was probably a company called Integral Resources.

And Integral Resources is owned by Page Gardner's husband. And Page Gardner's husband made $770,000 for doing calls for WVWV in 2006.

Now isn't that embarrassing?

And Integral Resources has been caught doing shoddy work with ethnic voices in the past.

Now isn't that embarrassing?

And Integral Resources does work for the Obama Campaign, the DNC and other Democratic organizations.

Now isn't that embarrassing?

Would somebody please call WVWV and ask them which telemarketer they hired to do the calls. And ask them why they're covering it up?"


Just quoting.

This is no accident.
