EXCLUSIVE: CLINT CURTIS EYEING RUN FOR CONGRESS AGAINST TOM FEENEY!

EXCLUSIVE: CLINT CURTIS EYEING RUN FOR CONGRESS AGAINST TOM FEENEY!
Whistleblowing Computer Programmer Seeking to Challenge GOP Congressman Charged With Asking Him to Create Vote-Rigging Software!

Exploratory Campaign Website Created, Public Announcement to be Made Wednesday in Florida

In what could be one of the most interesting campaigns for the U.S. House in 2006, The BRAD BLOG can now reveal that computer programmer turned electronic vote-rigging software whistleblower Clint Curtis is officially planning a run for the U.S. Congressional seat in Florida's 24th District.

The 24th Congressional District seat is currently occupied by Rep. Tom Feeney, the very man who Curtis has alleged once asked him to create a vote-rigging software prototype program back when both men worked for the software firm Yang Enterprises, Inc. (YEI) in Oviedo, Florida.

Curtis' startling allegations that then-State Senator Feeney had sought to have such a program built was first broken nationally by The BRAD BLOG in a story based on his sworn affidavit which "rocked the vote from Tallahassee to Capitol Hill" when it was originally published in early December of 2004. Indeed, it was so popular that it took down our blog entirely for four straight days.

Since filing his original allegations, Curtis has given stunning sworn, video-taped testimony about the matter to members of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee in a public hearing, and later, successfully passed a polygraph test in regard to the charges.

Feeney, who denies Curtis' allegations, despite the confirmation of many of them, has so far been unwilling to take a similar polygraph test.

Feeney, who was once Jeb Bush's running-mate during his first ill-fated run for Governor in 1994, was also the Speaker of the Florida Legislature who infamously promised to award Florida's electoral votes to George W. Bush during the 2000 Election Debacle -- no matter what the state Supreme Court would ultimately decide about the matter. He later went on to run for the U.S. Congress in 2002 in Florida's conservative 24th District, which is said to have been carved out expressly by Feeney for himself during his time in the statehouse.

Rep. Feeney now sits on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and continues to face charges of ethical transgressions concerning his conduct during his tenure as a U.S. Congressman where was recently reported to be Tom DeLay's #1 supporter. Said Feeney at a "Salute to Tom DeLay" last May, "Tom DeLay is the most effective leader the House has seen in 50 years."

Curtis, in preparing for a run his against Feeney, who has been caught by The BRAD BLOG in more than a few "contradictions" over the time we've been covering this story, has set up a campaign website to support his potential run at www.ClintCurtis.com where he is currently welcoming much-needed contributions and supporters...

THE REST OF THE STORY IS HERE:

Tomorrow, The BRAD BLOG will feature an Exclusive Q&A with "Candidate Curtis".

12. No Way... That's Awesome! He's a life-long Republican
At least that's what he said when he was being interviewed on AAR. I think it was AAR... very cool.

13. Yes, he WAS a life-long Republican, until...
...Until his various nightmares with Feeney and his people (all also discussed in the full story, but I won't hold it against you for not having read it all ;-)

For those unfamiliar with Clint Curtis' amazing story, here's a Quick Summary for you:

3. I like his quote on his site;
"Be careful of politicians that wave the flag too hard. They are, most likely, just trying to she the freedom out of it." ~ Clint Curtis

7. I'll vote for him.
I hope he knows to beware of the friendly people who invite him to CLEO. It's a place where the inside people of the county and state get to sniff you out. They believe in getting very close to their enemies.

8. Does the press cover this race closely ?
I think not.

If they do, this could be alot of free coverage for Election vote rigging and manipulation

Goooo Clint!!

9. I met him a couple of weeks ago at
my local Democratic Club meeting. He was a guest of an election reform activist.

He seemed like a nice enough guy - a bit on the shy side.

He says he's a former Republican.

Sounds like he's going to be Feeney's nemesis.

Works for me.

10. I think Clint's primary opponent should bow out.
Clint's campaign takes precedence.

21. Kicking to Get it out Above the Cheney Noise!

Clint *very much* needs financial support if he's going to be able to make it through the primary, and all the way to meet Feeney in November!
