Diebold in MS oh fuck no! Help me call people PLEASE!
Haley shithead Barbour is pushing for Diebold, the SOS is against using Diebold but Haley has sweetened the pot by offering his a new job in education that pays over $200,000 a year.

The SOS is currently making $90,000, please help me call him and beg him to stay put. The phone number is 601 359 1350

Here is what my friend sent me:

Robert Hooks made mention that Barbour was
"selling us down the river" by offering our good Democrat
Secretary of State Eric Clark (which only pays about $90,000
year) the job of being on the board of Education (Which
pays about $200,000 a year). I checked out some of the news
on Democratic Underground about what else is going on and it
is involving these machines! Clark was against them, and
only wanted them if they had the printers included along
with them to generate receipts.

Barbour's such a jerk. This isn't the first time that he's
offered Democrats other positions just to get them out of
his own way. He's trying to buy some of them out and then
use recess appointments or special elections to hopefully
get his Republican cronies into office. Look at what happen
with the Piere-Chancery Clerk incident!

2. There's a Diebold office right next door to where I work...
Although they're seriously screwed here in Cali, so I dont think too much about it.

3. I just called..
And a very sweet lady answered the phone. I told her that some message boards on the internet mentioned that Clark was being offered a lucrative job out of the SOS's office... and that there were Democrats from around the country that would like him to stay and fight against those "crooked machines".. and that Democrats can win honestly and we don't need machines that lose votes, and can't be recounted etc, etc...

She kind of laughed and said she'd take the message.

4. I just talked to her too, thanks please keep calling folks.
MS was one of the few southern red states where are 18-35 year old voted 60% for Kerry.

We are on our way to being blue and these fuckers want to cheat us out of our coming victories.
