A WRITE IN VOTE GIVES
POWER TO THE PEOPLE

In our form of government, we, the people
elect officeholders to represent us.

We are not their servants. They are elected
to serve us.

When government fails us, it is our
responsibility to correct those failures
through the electoral process,

We do this by casting informed votes
in elections.

In primaries, parties and special interests
rule. Challengers seldom prevail.

In a one party city, like Albany, the
primary winners are the defacto winners
in the November General Election.

Those who vote in the General Election
get what is left after poltical parties have
made their choices of candidates, with
or without primaries.

Our Founding Fathers did not provide
for political parties when creating our
form of government.

Political parties evolved later. Parties
represent special interests and exist to
control the government. Our two party
system was meant to provide a system
of checks and balances ao that the
party in power does not go astray.

We have reached a point in our national
history where one party dominance has
resulted in government, at all levels, that
has gone astray.

There is little discernable difference
between the two major political parties
Democrat or Republican. The minor parties:
Independence, Conservative and Working
Families parties, are largely, adjuncts of the
two major parties. The latter seldom field
their own candidates. The minor parties
generally endorse major party candidates.

Forget about, party priniciples - all that
really governs this arrangement is the quest
for political power, control and patronage.

In essence, political parties are merely
ballot lines.

Yet, there exists a safety valve for the
people to have their say in the November 3rd
General Election - the write in vote.

The write in vote is, in effect, a referenda
in a state where referendum and initiative
do not exist.


In order for the write in option to work -
the following conditions must exist:

1. a write in candidate, with a message
must work to get his/her message to
the voters

2. the voters must be paying attention
comprehend that message and compare
it with the messages of other candidates
for the same office

3. the voters must vote and cast informed
votes

4. the media must explain the write in
voting procedures, on voting machines
and paper ballots, to the voters and inform
voters of write in candidates who have
messages

5. the Board of Elections must make certain
that voting machines are mechanically
prepared for write in voting, that paper rolls
are installed, that the paper rolls are
safeguarded, and correctly counted when
voting machines are canvassed after election.

6. absentee and 603 paper ballots provide
space(s) for write in votes, and that such
paper ballots be safeguarded and duly
counted

7. Election Inspectors have to recognize that
their obligation is to run a fair election at
the polling place where they are assigned.
Their obligation is to the people, not the
party that appoints them.

Election Inspectors must make sure that
the write in function of the voting machines
work, and instruct voters, who request
assistance , on how to do a write in on a
voting machine.

GOVERNMENT EXPANDS TERROR WARNINGS

http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=844996&category=STATE

ARE YOU READY? REMEMBER CHARLES DARWIN.

Joe Sullivan

THEY DWELL AMONG US-

BIDING THEIR TIME

We have been at war since 9-11-01.
The enemy does not wear uniforms.
Terror is their weapon. They bide their
time and wait for the signals to strike.

The Home Front has become the front line in
this terror war. 9-11 was only the first strike.
There will be more, much more.

The federal government has failed to secure our
borders and ports. Cities have become sanctuary
cities for illegals and those who will harm us.

The foreign terrorists have allied with domestic
anti-social malcontents, gangbangers and the
like- providing drugs, money, weapons, training
and indoctrination of domestic malcontents who
already hate their government, the police, and
their fellow citizens.

Consider this recent warning about mass
transit terror strikes.
http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=844541&category=STATE

Think also, about churches, synagogues,schools
large public gatherings at sporting/entertainment
events, government buildings, utility lines, sewer
systems, chemical plants, rail lines, bridges, tunnels.

Hunting season is soon upon us. A perfect time for
camoflauged individuals and groups, bearing arms
to move about the land and highways, hunting
targets of opportunity, instead of game.

The targets are unlimited. Security depends
on each of us. Be alert, sharpen your observation
skills. Anticipate. Act.

Call the Albany Police and/or Anti-terror hotline when
you observe suspicious individuals, groups, activities:

Center Square Station APD - 458 5660

Anti-Terror Hotline- 1 866 SAFE NYS (723 3697)

Do not depend on government to save you, when
disasters/terror attacks occur, and the ensuing
civil disorder follows.

Be prepared to save yourselves. Set aside water
food, medicines, alternate sources of light/heat.

Exercise your Second Amendment Right to bear
arms to protect yourselves, your loved ones, your
property.

Consider that, New Orleans, during Katrina, most
of the police and firemen lived outside the city and
did not report to work. They remained at home
protecting their loved ones- their first responsibilty.

The same scenario can be expected in Albany
where most of the police and firemen, live outside
the city.

You, and your neighbors ,will be on your own.
Network for mutual assistance.

Can you fight fires without water? Keep your auto
gas tank full at all times because you can't pump
gas when their is no electricity. Your cell phones
will not work if the towers are down.

Have a household disaster/emergency plan. Keep
go bags of essential supplies in your vehicles, in
case you have to evacuate the city immediately.
Have an escape route selected. Have a rendezvous
location set where all family members can make
their way to.

Churches, synagogues, schools, senior housing
and other apartments must get on the ball
without delay, prepare to serve as emergency
shelters.

Well stocked kitchens, water, electric
generators etc
should be available. Increase security.

Know basic First Aid and have First Aid supplies
on hand.


Have the Red Cross show your how to prepare,
before disasters/terror attacks occur. The Red
Cross will be overwhelmed when they do.

This is not a drill. Those who fail to prepare
now, will not survive.

RESTORE SOCIAL SECURITY COLA'S
MR. PRESIDENT

Since the peasantry (Capital District Voters) are
not invited to see and hear the President at HVCC
today, and
because the Capital District media will give much
coverage of the event -
would some courageous media person tell the
President, on behalf of all senior citizens, to restore
Social Security cost of living increases (COLA'S).

The Obama Administration has suspended
Social Security COLA'S for the next two years.

The funding to restore Social Security COLA'S
could be achieved by cancelling 2 billion dollars
U S aid to Brazil's national oil company, to drill
for oil off the coast of Rio
as well as cancelling funding for ACORN and
any similar groups, including the President's
proposed civilian defense force which will
according to the President, will be larger, more
powerful and better funded than the U S military.

You might ask him ,also, is it true that military
reenlistment bonuses will be abolished?
