This might be the news we have all been waiting for. This story was taken down
from all web sites yesterday.

A call from an Ohio congressman that the dirt behind the Coins and Baseball
cards which lost millions for Ohio's worker's comp also lost 215 million
in a republican run hedge fund might go all the way to bush and the
stolen election.

Noe the man behind the coin scheme was also on the Ohio Turnpike
Commission (?????? to laundry money) and his wife was a Lucas County
BOE member who had to resign. Lucas County was very dirty with many
"glitches that all favored bush.

1. Go Congressman Sherrod Brown (D-0H)!

Thank the Toledo Blade author - Steve Eder: [e-mail]

Go Congressman Sherrod Brown (D-0H):

Mr. Brown, a former Ohio secretary of state, said the situation in Ohio mirrors problems in Washington.

"I've watched up close the arrogance of Tom DeLay," he said, "and I see the way Taft, and Blackwell, and Petro … and those folks run the state government..."

Democrats say there is still more ground to be covered in investigating problems in Ohio, including a look at the 2004 presidential campaign.

"I think the George Bush campaign raised a lot of illegal money in Ohio," Mr. Brown said. "That puts the election in some question. I know these people stop at nothing and I know their incompetence kept a significant number of people from getting to vote."

Iniquiring minds need to know!

5. The Toledo Blade has been kicking some "Coingate" ass.

I'm hoping they are also about to tackle election fraud.

ELECTION REFORM

Congress called on to fix problems

By ANN McFEATTERS
BLADE WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF

...snip

At the federal level, The Century Fund, which co-sponsored the National Commission on Election Reform after the 2000 election, co-chaired by former presidents Gerald Ford and Carter, reports the 2002 law is not working as it should. Worse, the Century Fund said the 2004 election revealed "a deeply flawed voting system that in many ways has become more complicated and prone to abuse" than in 2000 because the new law led to more obstacles in voting.

Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said "tens of thousands" of voters still contact his office to express anger that "once again, their vote did not count." He held a hearing specifically on widespread 2004 problems in Ohio. President Bush received 286 electoral votes, 16 more than the 270 needed to win. Without Ohio, he would not have won.

Mr. Conyers insists most Americans want "real election reform," but he is not encouraged, saying congressional Republicans and Democrats remain far apart.

"Unless we act, the next close election will prompt the same debates and public confidence in our democracy will suffer a potentially fatal blow," Mr. Conyers told constituents.

6. This is good, Botany! Thank you. Interesting that the story was taken

down from web sites. Any clues on who did that? Sounds like a gag order came down from the top crooks.
