Senators ask Ashcroft to let phone-jamming suit go forward
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Two Democratic senators asked U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft on Tuesday to stop interfering in a civil suit over phone-jamming by New Hampshire Republicans during the 2002 elections.
U.S. Sens. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Patrick Leahy of Vermont wrote a letter demanding that the Justice Department, which is pursuing a separate criminal case, withdraw its request to put the civil case on hold for six months.

2. Asscroft better have some money in the bank, because he's soon

going to be out of a job.

edit: He'd better not plan to making a living as a singer/songwriter either.

3. An Ashcroft/Shatner Duet Album will be coming out soon!

4. I doubt that Bill Shatner would have anything to do with Ashcroft

He's not just a Hollywood Libbrul, he's a Canadian Hollywood Libbrul.

Probably wants to confiscate our phasers -- I mean, our guns -- too.

Excerpt -- Today we hear news that Charles McGee, the former executive director of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, and Allen Raymond, a GOP consultant, pleaded guilty to federal charges stemming from their involvement in the jamming of telephones on Election Day, Nov. 5, 2002. Democrats' computer-generated calls to get out the vote were blocked and thus voters did not receive the intended message due to illegal action by some in the Republican Party.

8. This is an example of how Republicans do dirty Politics

and try to steal the elections and do it over and over there are no laws for Republicans!!!

7. NH Law Allows Felons to Vote (Once Their Time Is Served) except if

felony due to election fraud.

Sweet cuz this guy is going down.

9. Yes, Ashcroft performs the same job Himmler did for his Party

(minus the death camps)

He serves his Nazi, errrr, Bushevik Masters, and obstructs justice or tanks investigations where need be.

That is his job and nothing more.
