Bureau of Elections Records head Connie Evans lost her job following an internal review of reports from the 2002 election, according to the Florida secretary of state's office.
It was unclear how many reports or which candidates were involved. Candidates are fined for every day the reports are late.

"Mr. Ashcroft, I'm [supposedly] with Lyndon LaRouche. We would like to know which of your terrorists are going to be used for a new 9/11, you and Dick Cheney," said the heckler, who got into the room in a downtown Detroit convention center by posing as a TV reporter.

Hey folks,

Things are so out of control in this country under the Bush Regime that it is numbing at this point. We are hemmoraging billions of dollars everyday and no money is going into the treasury. And the money is ALL going to Bush friends. At this rate, we don't have until Jan 2005 to get Bush out or to get Congress to tie the Cabal's hands with impeachment hearings. Every aspect of our society is going down - like the Titanic. And the suffering we are sowing abroad is astounding and is due to only get worse.

Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, the bioterrorism expert under scrutiny in the 2001 anthrax attacks filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing Attorney General John Ashcroft and other government officials of trampling his constitutional rights and using him as a scapegoat for their failure to make an arrest in the case.
While President Bush is busy raising funds in the Northwest, conservationists are busy taking him to task for promises he made the last time he was in town, but has failed to keep. On the campaign trail, Bush said, "Washington faces important challenges, and there's no greater challenge than to save salmon... . For all of us, those fish are a wonder of nature and they must be preserved." Too bad his administration's policies don't match Bush's concern for the salmon population.

Just like in the "The Wizard of Oz," when we finally get to see who is operating the smoke-puffing machine, we find a consummate pitchman. In Bush's case, the man behind the screen is a flag-waving, lapel-pin wearing, anti-terrorist fear monger who labels his opponents anti-patriotic. He has done a clever job of manipulating the mass media, but in reality his smooth imagery and charming personality are subtly undermining America's values. While he composes hymns to individualism, Sunday piety, trickle-down economics, and family values, he is trying to gut every program providing for social, economic, and environmental justice.

Okay, we dropped the ball with this - Ashcroft's entire tour to date was done within two days of its announcement. But he's coming to Boston, NY, and Salt Lake City, and probably other places. And the vile lies and half-truths posted on http://www.lifeandliberty.gov/subs/u_myths.htm need to be challenged loudly, and often. Preferably by people with "mullet" hairdos.
The White House collaborated heavily with corporations in developing President Bush's energy policy but repeatedly refused to give congressional investigators details of the meetings, according to a federal report issued yesterday.

Some question whether the Federal Government should enforce Civil Rights, but Zachary Karabell explains the anti-Federalist argument, used by both libertarians and bigots, has its roots in a general distrust of a centralized government passed down from the Puritans.
Suit Filed in Alabama Commandments Fight
http://www.620ktar.com/news/article.aspx?article_id=204149&cc=012345
Supporters of the Ten Commandments monument asked a federal court Monday to block its removal from the Alabama Judicial Building, where barricades were erected to keep crowds from pressing against the glass front entrance. Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore installed the monument two years ago and was suspended by a state judicial ethics panel last week for disobeying a federal court order to remove the 5,300-pound granite marker. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Mobile on behalf of a Christian radio talk show host and a pastor, says the forced removal of the monument would violate the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion. U.S. District Judge William Steele _ the judge who ordered the monument removed _ set a hearing for Wednesday on the lawsuit. The federal courts have held that the monument violates the Constitution's ban on government promotion of a religious doctrine. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, disputed that. "We see the First Amendment to protect religious liberty, not crush religious liberty," he told a crowd of more than 100 protesters. Minutes after the lawsuit was announced, police blocked off the front of the building with metal barricades. Building superintendent Graham George said they were erected to prevent protesters from leaning dangerously against the large windows and glass doors, where they have gathered for the last week. The monument is expected to be removed this week, though at least one company refused the job. Clark Memorial, a Birmingham company that built and moved the monument into the building, declined for business and personal reasons, vice president Charles Tourney said. Moore contends it is his duty to acknowledge God in the rotunda of the state government building.

ELF strikes again!
"The political conservative is characterized by his relation to uncertainty and fear that he seeks to avert by fleeing into order. Rwesistance to changes and tolerance for inequalities are central. The conservative tends to dgomatism, allows no ambivalences, avoids uncertainties, needs `cognitive closure' and carries out `terror management'. The latter can be seen in post 9/11 America.."

Stanley Cohe,a New York lawyer, is known for defending Muslims, and recently known in the Portland area for defending Shiek Kariye, the Portland Imam arrested at the Portland Airport last year and eventually charged and convicted of some relatively minor Social Security violation. Relatively, because it was charged, and local media reported, that at the time of his arrest, minute quantities of explosive residue was found in his luggage. Later, F.B.I. labs proved this to be false.
Government today, which has become the new god, has reached a point where there just isn't enough room on the Grand Stage for two gods. Thus, the courts have consistently ruled in recent days that the 'Other God' and the Ten Commandments display must go.
Two Republican dominated corporations, Election Systems and Software (ES&S) and Diebold Voting Systems, control about 80% of the vote count in the U.S.. Meanwhile, the long history of election upsets due to voting machine "glitches", that overwhelmingly favor Republican candidates, continues to grow.
Congress has failed to safeguard our right to vote. Instead, they passed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) that give billions of dollars to the states to purchase voting machines, while failing to require any mandatory safeguards or standards. Meanwhile, misguided voting rights groups are suing for the right to use the latest most sophisticated computerized voting equipment which are the easiest to rig by the fewest number of technicians.

At the White House's direction, the Environmental Protection Agency gave New Yorkers misleading assurances that there was no health risk from the debris-laden air after the World Trade Center collapse, according to an internal inquiry. President Bush's senior environmental adviser on Friday defended the White House involvement, saying it was justified by national security.
