    Good to see research being conducted on this. DNC could care less.

    • Bruce55555

      Absolutely.
      Major fraud also occurred in Texas.
      What a shameful process.

    Here’s a video for some Virginia fraud

    For those unfamiliar with Saul Alinsky, his writings on radicalism and social change will chill the bones of not only conservatives, but more moderate liberals:

    “Any revolutionary CHANGE must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward CHANGE among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and CHANGE the future.”

    This is great Dr Long!
    Thank you so much for harnassing the voter’s help!Thanks for helping empower the voters. We can do something more to help stop this madness that the DNC and msm has tried to pass off as the 2008 presidential election.

    Make no mistake about this- if we do not get involved NOW and get the truth out before Denver-then IF IF Sen obama is the chosen dem candidate-officially- and IF…IF…he wins the Nov 08 election- judging by how he voted on FISA bill plus other legislation (see link) then you can be certain that he and his handlers will do everything possible (legally and illegally) to prevent any voice of dissension from having a public forum. Remember how his handlers were calling everyone & their mother a racist everytime ANYONE voiced any concern or questioned Sen Obama? Well…that is nothing compared to what will happen after Jan 2009 IF…IF he is elected president. HIS FISA VOTE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
    Please read this article- no matter who you plan on voting for in November. PLEASE READ THIS and forward to others…The truth needs to get out…WE CAN STOP THIS MADNESS-WE CAN PUT THIS ELECTION BACK ON TRACK. Thanks Dr Long for giving us the opportunity to do something constructive about this situation!

    http://www.beyondchron.org/articles/The_Obama_Craze_Count_Me_Out_5413.html

    Independent journalists, ethical msm journalists, citizen journalists, bloggers- WE NEED YOUR HELP. There is still time to get the truth out.The delegates MUST BE INFORMED of what is going on and…they (and the DNC) must be made aware of the fact that the voters understand what is really going on and we will vote accordingly in Nov.

    • elise

      Wow! thank you athy. I’m with you and will forward this article to everyone I know and post it where I can. The issue of the cap on credit card interest rates was brought up by Hillary in one of the debates and I remember his response. At that point, I hadn’t really developed a dislike for him, but I was puzzled. I think that debate was moderated by Wolf Blitzer and he moved on to a different topic. Thanks again for the link.

    • Lou

      Delegates don’t care. At least some of them. WE NEED 300 delegate signatures to get Hillary in nomination. That’s the only way this will succeed.

  • Walter Mitty

    Breaking News.

    Obama is now vetting Tim Kaine, Gov. of Virginia, for vp.

    I actually think Vennaman or even Seblius would be better.

    Kaine right now, imo, couldn’t win a race for dogcatcher in my glorious Commonwealth. Plus he has a great command voice, which would endear him to military folks, past and present in Virginia, of which there are quite a few.

    This is getting very amusing.

    • Clara Barton

      Agree, Walter Mitty. As a Virginia Democrat (except for BO), I’d be very ticked if Kaine took this job cause he’d be leaving the Governor’s seat to a GOP Lt. Governor and we’d be screwed in the 2009 election for Governor as well as hard pressed to carry out redistricting in 2011.

      I don’t see what Kaine brings to the table except a chance to win the state. He’s the Dem spokesperson who gave the SOTU rebuttal a couple of years ago – you know, the one with the dancing eyebrow.

      • d2d

        Kaine drank the BO kool aid a long damn time ago. He’d do it if asked b/c he would couch it in his christian belief that “this is the right thing to do” for my fellow Americans. Kaine doesn’t possess the hubris BO does, but he’s a rather naive leader who still believes good will prevail.

        Kaine’s a good man but he’s politically naive and still believes people will do the right thing. He actually thought that he could broker a “transportation funding” deal with those rascally conservative R’s for the last three years. HA! Have they ever taught him defeat.

        I’d hate to see this good man’s beliefs become so jaded by a heathen like BO.

    • pm317

      Is Kaine as popular as Warner?

      • d2d

        the difference b/w kaine and warner is as simple as this – one is bougth to carry out others deeds and the other one isn’t bought and decides his own fate. You can decide which is which.

      • Clara Barton

        I’d say no, Mark Warner is overall much more popular and would do more to help someone carry the state. His term as governor was during a more economically positive time and he did clean up a big mess from the previous GOP governor (against whom he’s running for the Senate!) Kaine’s had a tougher time with his promise to fix transportation and the growing shortfall in the Virginia income. He really hasn’t done much in his 2.5 years. Nice guy, but not too effective.

        • imustprotest

          Clara:

          Kaine’s had a tougher time with his promise to fix transportation and the growing shortfall in the Virginia income. He really hasn’t done much in his 2.5 years. Nice guy, but not too effective.

          Sounds like Kaine is a match made in heaven for Obama!

          I think Obama would be afraid that Warner would steal the spotlight.

          • Clara Barton

            Warner already took himself out – when he accepted the nomination to run for John Warner’s seat at the Va. Dem Convention in June.

            Obama will have to go first with his pick, so McCain has the advantage of waiting to see where O goes with this. I don’t think his choices are all that good – all the good ones ran like hell the other way!

  • wodiej

    Caucus fraud should have been investigated long ago right after it happened. Didn’t we know some of this went on? Great idea though, hope people step forward although some may fear for their lives literally.

    • Miss H

      The rules governing the caucuses are set up by the Democratic party. So even though infractions of the rules and laws were documented, the Democratic party, now totally controlled by Obama-ites, and headquartered in Chicago, could care less. Go fly a kite is their attitude. The caucuses are not run under state or federal laws. It is frightening! Wait until NoBama wins in November, has his FISA bill in place, and the seat of government run out of Chicago. All dissent will be crushed and factual information will be totally supressed, by total control of the media. The internet will be the next media source to be totally controlled by the BOTS.

      • IndayHill

        It is really frightening, Miss H,if Obama gets his way.He is already letting his goons control the DNC, from stripping delegates’rights, if turned against Obama, to punishing journalists who are writing the truth about him !
        His shady character friends will be pardoned & set free, to laugh at the Americans, who are fooled by Obama.
        Obama will do whatever deal he had made during the 1 hour closed door one-to-one conversation with the king of Jordan & leaders of the countries he recently visited.
        WAKE-UP, AMERICANS!
        For the country, vote Hillary or McCain ’08 !
        GOD SAVE AMERICA!

        • Lou

          America is in trouble. It’s beyond what we have ever seen.

      • elise

        Miss H, I thought voter fraud was a federal offense. Parties are allowed to set their own rules, but they aren’t allowed to change actual votes. But, I agree it will be hard to get anything done since the media clearly will not report anything unless they are forced to.

      • Lou

        We need to be prepared for this just in case. We need an under the radar network.

  • Sharon

    My sister-in-law and her sister were pushed around at the caucus in Texas. Many senior citizens left without voting. She called me in tears after it happen and a formal camplaint was filed. She has never heard anything about it. I have emailed her this story and I am sure she will complete the information. She is still angry and will not be voting for Obama.

    • Clara Barton

      Anyone know people in Washington state or Colorado who could report on the caucuses there? Check out the radio show tonight – a friend of mine said she may be on to talk about problems in her state.

      • elise

        I caucused in Colorado. I have to look up the exact date and time. There were several precincts in the same room and it was crowded. There was a young woman and man giving out round Obama stickers. I was there early and there were plenty of people already in the room which I think is a violation. I think I commented on this before, but I want to repeat it. There were nine Obama supporters and four Clinton supporters. There was really no vote on delegates to the County Convention. They asked for volunteers and I volunteered as a delegate for Hillary and there was an alternate. My name was not on the list of delegates, the alternates name was on there. It was after the convention when the precinct captain called and invited me to a meeting at his house. Just four people showed up. The captain, his wife, another man, my husband and myself. My husband is Republican and went to their caucus. The first thing I asked was whether the alternate went to the convention. The captain said she didn’t and his wife said she did, but none of it seemed real. The next thing, I saw he had the blue sign in sheet in his hands. I asked him about it and he said when he had gone to Democratic Headquarters the night of the caucus, they didn’t have a copier so a friend had let him take it home so he could use the names to organize. A few days before this, I read in the local paper, not all the precincts had been counted and I mentioned that too. He said,”Well they have been now”. The meeting didn’t last much longer. They asked if I would canvas and I told them I would for Mark Udall, but not for Obama. My husband said he was happy to get me out of there because he could see I was really angry, but his impression was like mine. Something was not right. I don’t have any documentation. Just my husband as witness. He also knew about the “mix up” over the delegate situation because when the Republicans had finished he came in and sat until the caucus business was finished. We had finished voting by then, but we were still filling out the information for the delegates. I believe I have the name and telephone number of the alternate and may have a copy of registered dems in my precinct. Just one more thing. I am hearing impaired and in a crowded room with a lot of background noise, it’s hard to hear everything going on. When I sat down at the table before the caucus was called to order, the young woman passing out the O stickers sat next to me. She asked me who I was there for and I told her Hillary and she seemed surprised, “Oh really?” or something to that effect. While she was sitting next to me, she called a friend who was caucusing on the other side of town and when she hung up she said that place was packed too. I asked if she was from Colorado and she said she was from Minnesota, I think. Then I asked how long she had lived in Colorado Springs and she said she had just moved here. Oh, another thing. I read an article in the Denver Post, I think it was May 18 which would have been a couple of days after the State Convention. Two of the reporters said they thought Clinton supporters made up more than half of the delegates and an Obama supporter argued with them. There was also an incident about the choice of alternate. I think it was State Rep. Perlmutter, ask for a voice vote and there were objections which were ignored. Sorry this is so long. As I said, I don’t have pictures or documentation, but maybe it can help in some way.

        • Lou

          Many of the caucus voters would pose as citzens of the town/city..they would even hook up with an in state resident Obama supporter and use their address as their own. Some registerd 30 days prior in states that required that and used an Obama supporters address. This was very organized and under the radar but there was network going on state after state.
          There were Obama supporters registering “made up names” in every state. Soooooo many tactics were used it’s appalling. Don’t forget about the invisible pen.

      • elise

        Clara, there is one more thing I would like to add. Colorado Springs is not really an ethenically diverse city. I was supprised by how many AAs were in our area. I never would have guessed.

      • Lou

        The Texas NQ caller who had access to the sign in sheets mentioned that the caucuses were “flooded”. I understand this was done in every state and was first brought to my attention during the WA caucus. A person at the Hillary rally in Portland told me that for every Hillary person entering the WA caucus, the Obama captain called on his cell phone and asked for 2 Obama people to come vote (Clark county WA). Their ID’s and registration were never checked and they didn’t look old enough to vote. Now this is consistent with the 2-1 margin in the WA caucus and I followed the math on the other caucuses. It showed 2-1 also, so there was a definite mathematical strategy going on. It is strange that there were the same margin results in most all the states. There were Hillary voter lock-outs in Cheyenne Wyoming and as Dr Long says there were many tactics employed in the caucuses nationwide. If something happened to screw up the strategy the Hillary votes were thrown in the trash as they were in WA. and GUAM Hillary voters left the caucus knowing their vote didn’t count. I was griping about all these things since the beginning and most people thought I was bonkers. It’s finally being taken seriously albeit a bit late. Hillary campaign was notified right after WA caucus which is one of the reasons why she made a comeback after super Tues..Knowing what was going on made a huge difference but it didn’t stop it. But even the primaries themselves were gamed. The list of tactics for gaming the primary is long. These tactics will be used on the GE no doubt. My motto while knowing the election was being scammed was “I will not keep silent”..and we need to keep talking about it. So glad we have mathmeticians aboard.

    If these have already been posted sorry! it’s important that we get signatures on these petitions.

    One is to impeach senator Obama the other to force him to produce a real copy of his birth certificate! They need 1000 signatures!

    Th only way for the American public to be fully aware of the systemic fraud is for folks throughout the country in these caucus states in particular, to come forward with documented materials and evidence and that all of these get into a documentary that gets played on prime time television. Since the DNC does not care, the people have the right to know what went on before they vote otherwise most Americans will not realize the depth to which corruption and fraud took place. I would personally pay towards supporting getting such a documentary on the air before November. It is just too bad such a program will unfortunately not be available before the DNC convention. I appreciate very much what Dr. Long, Dr. Heidi Li and other academics are doing to get the truth out to everyone.

  • nhkat

    My mom lives in Maine (a caucus state), she moved there from NH (a primary state). I have two complaints, the first one is that when she registered to vote no one told her how the caucus system works. Second, her husband is brain damaged from lack of oxygen during a heart attack, and he can’t be left alone. She is lucky if she can get someone to watch him for a half an hour to go to the store, so she sure can’t leave him to go sit at a caucus for however long it takes. I asked her if she voted, and she said she didn’t because she wasn’t sure what she had to do but, she heard that it took a while and she wouldn’t have been able to leave my step father and had no one to watch him so she could go. To me, this system leaves a lot of people out, and many, like my Mom, confused as to what they are supposed to do.

  • Lou

    Absolutely was loving Heidi’s train of thought until she got cut off and asked to introduce her personal info..
    Man I was loving what she was saying and nodding my head.
    Facts are what we have going and will save us.
    I wish people would be allowed to finish their train of thought.

  • Lou

    I hope this gets looked at. This is serious. Soros is the one who helped Obama on the ticket.
    They want to destory Democracy.

    We must not have Obama as President. We must not have McCain as President. We must not have any of this nonsense! Otherwise, the United States is finished. Forget it: It’s a waste of time.

    You’re in that time. This is not–trying to figure out how the game is going to play, and who might lose. No! This is zero-sum game. There is no alternative.

    This is what happened in Germany in 1923. Only a different way, but it’s the same thing.

    The system is finished: There is no endgame! There is no way that “they” are going to solve a problem. They’re going to solve nothing! The system is doomed, and if they continue this way, the country’s doomed, and civilization is doomed. And probably doomed this year or next. How d’ya like that? Nice, clear-headed little solution. It’s nuts! But why is it nuts? Because the people are nuts.

    Lunatic people, these are lunatics! This is lunacy! I mean, the guy belongs in the booby hatch, y’know? The comfort station, the booby hatch, where they can get out there and invent their systems in confinement, and the outside world doesn’t have to know anything about it.
    So, don’t have any illusion in the corner of your mind that “they” must have some alternative solution in their pocket. They don’t. More and more people recognize, that they don’t have anything, there is no solution; there is no end to this thing. There’s no happy ending anywhere, for anyone in this one. Either change the system, or go to Hell, and it’s on a short fuse.
