Voter fraud arrest leaves Republicans seething
GOP says trumped-up count designed to distract from ACORN

The arrest of a GOP voter registration recruiter on the eve of California's registration deadline has outraged the state's Republicans, who now say California's secretary of state, a Democrat, timed the arrest to distract the public from ACORN's voter fraud scandals.

Mark Jacoby, 25, was arrested this weekend for allegedly falsifying his own voter registration by fraudulently claiming his parents' Los Angeles County address so he could legally gather voter signatures in California.

Secretary of State Debra Bowen's office alleges Jacoby did not live at the address, thereby perjuring himself and committing a felony for falsely claiming voter eligibility. If convicted, Jacoby faces up to 3 years in prison.

Hector Barajas, communications director for the California Republican Party, however, told WND that the charges are bogus, claiming that while Jacoby travels the nation working on voter registrations, his childhood home is still his home.

"He still has his car payment that comes into his parents address, he still has his bills that come into his parents address and he files his taxes here in the state of California," Barajas said. "It begs the question … where else is an individual supposed to register to vote?"

Further, California Republicans are charging that the arrest of a GOP voting registration worker is a deliberate attempt to distract the public from the abuses of the more Democrat-friendly Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.

California Republicans released a statement that reads, "It's clear that Bowen, herself the recipient of an ACORN endorsement (still displayed on her campaign website), has elevated these issues to achieve maximum political benefit and deflect attention from the Democratic Presidential nominee's high-profiled problems and associations with the radical community activist group ACORN.

"While we condemn voter fraud in all forms, it is evident that Debra Bowen is using her office to play politics with the public's perception of political parties. This is inappropriate at least, and an abuse of her office and a willing suspension of her duties at worst," the statement says.

"Voter registration fraud is a serious issue," Secretary Bowen said in a statement released immediately following the arrest, "which is why I vigorously investigate all allegations of elections fraud. Where there's a case to be made, I will forward it to law enforcement for criminal prosecution."

WND contacted Bowen's office for comment on the Republicans' assertions, but our phone call was not returned.

Both Republicans and the ACORN group have made headlines in Southern California in the past week.

On Friday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported on ACORN voter registration violations, citing over 1,850 invalid registration cards turned into San Diego County and quoting the county's chief deputy of voter services saying some of the errors "were intentional because there were people who were being paid to turn in these forms, something similar to what we have been seeing in other parts of the country."

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Times ran a feature story on area voters claiming they were duped into registering as Republicans, a charge the state's GOP denies.

The Times story focused on Jacoby, whose company, Young Political Majors, was accused of tricking voters.

Late Saturday night, Jacoby was arrested, though not for anything directly tied to the Times story, but on a warrant outstanding since Oct. 3 for allegedly falsifying his own registration card.

"Why go out and arrest an individual the weekend before the deadline of voter registration?" Barajas asked WND. "They had an arrest warrant issued on Oct. 3. … But yet they used nine officers and seven squad cars, they held this individual for 19 hours."

Barajas told WND he believes Debra Bowen is turning a selective eye upon who she seeks to charge with voter fraud.

"In her statement [Bowen] talked about making sure they protect the integrity of voter registration," Barajas said. "Where's her denouncement of ACORN, when this last week the San Diego Union Tribune reported the district attorney found there were a lot of improprieties?"

He added, "Our kids have been assaulted, have been threatened … Where's the denouncement there? Where's the press release there? Where are the arrests there?

"The secretary of state is supposed to protect the rights of all. When you have this official engaged in partisan politics and not willing to denounce those on the left … it cries out for foul play in this election," Barajas said.

… it cries out for foul play in this election," Barajas said.

Indeed.  But the real foul is that Barak is still in the game.

Barney Frank: We'll take more of your money
'I think there are a lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax'


The government, amid this economic downturn, should raise taxes on the rich and not worry about deficit spending, says Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.

Frank was responding to a question yesterday by a CNBC television anchor who wanted to know if Frank thought John McCain and Barack Obama should change their "tax and spending plans" in order to pay for a $300 billion stimulus proposal moving forward in Congress.

"I think at this point there needs to be a focus on an immediate increase in spending, and I think this is a time when deficit fear has to take a second seat," Frank said.

"I do think this is a time for a kind of very important dose of Keynesianism, Frank continued, referring to 20th century British economist John Maynard Keynes' argument for government investment to counteract recession or depression.

"Yes, I believe later on there should be tax increases," Frank said. "Speaking personally, I think there are a lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax at a point down the road and recover some of this money.

House Hearing to Determine Who Ignored Economic Crisis Warning Signs

The House is holding a hearing today in order to determine who ignored the economic crisis warning signs. I see this as a complete waste of taxpayers money. Of course this has been the routine with this do nothing that is good House. I equate this with the robber that was also his own judge and jury. Naturally all blame will be laid on someone else other than those that are actually at fault.

Limbaugh fights 'Hush Rush' push
Democrat senator thinks America 'well-served' by Fairness Doctrine

On-the-air comments by a Democratic senator looking to bring back the Fairness Doctrine are sparking new fears the voices of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Michael Savage could be silenced if Democrats control the White House and Congress.

Speaking on Albuquerque station KKOB, Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., told host Jim Villanucci,"I would want this station and all stations to have to present a balanced perspective and different points of view, instead of always hammering away at one side of the political [spectrum]."

Instituted in 1949 when radio ruled the airwaves, the Fairness Doctrine required broadcasters to allot airtime for controversial public matters, as well as time for opposing viewpoints. It was repealed in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan's Federal Communications Commission, leading to an explosion in the numbers of talk shows and hosts.

Bingaman said when the doctrine was in effect, "there were a lot of talk stations that seemed to do fine."

"For many, many years, we operated under a Fairness Doctrine in this country. I think the country was well-served. I think the public discussion was at a higher level and more intelligent in those days than it has become since."

Limbaugh, the most-listened to radio host in American history, blasted Bingaman's comment that there were "a lot of talk stations" before 1987.

"A hundred twenty-five radio stations talking about carrot cake recipes for the holidays," Limbaugh said. "Senator Bingaman, do you know how many talk-radio stations there are in America today? Try over 2,000 since the Fairness Doctrine was lifted, and on those 2,000 radio stations are countless points of view, from the extreme communist left to the wacko whatever it is way out on the fringe right. They're all over the place."

Limbaugh said it was clear that Bingaman "wants all of this kind of conservative talk, because it's effective, shut down."

Brian Maloney, who runs the Radio Equalizer blog, stated:

    If enacted, the Fairness Doctrine (which is anything but) would create logistical nightmares for radio programmers, leading quickly to shuttered stations. The need to "balance" every viewpoint presented would also destroy the entertainment value of talk radio, driving away the audience.

    With most major operators currently in deep financial trouble for unrelated reasons, these new restrictions on free speech could represent the final blow for the commercial broadcasting industry.

    Even when confronted with the fact that Albuquerque is home to conservative and liberal commercial outlets, as well as public and satellite radio offerings, Bingaman still indicated he would support the move to silence talk radio.

In August, a poll by Rasmussen Reports found 47 percent of Americans believe the government should require stations to "balance" the political viewpoint expressed over the airwaves.

Get Brad O'Leary's authoritative blockbuster, "The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values" – TODAY ONLY for just $4.95, a $21 savings!

Rasmussen found, however, 71 percent say it is already possible for just about any political view to be heard in today's media.

President Bush believes the so-called Fairness Doctrine is "Orwellian" and disagrees with its very concept.

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has expressed his opposition to bringing back the Fairness Doctrine, and an Obama aide told Broadcasting and Cable magazine in June that the debate is "a distraction from the conversation we should be having about opening up the airwaves and modern communications to as many diverse viewpoints as possible."

This is what the hate crimes law does and it will get worse if it isn't stopped.

Felony 'hate crime' against Christian dropped
Student pushed homosexual who got 'in his face'

A Christian college student who was accused of a felony hate crime and faced up to three years in jail after a confrontation with a homosexual who got "in his face" has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count, and the hate crime has been dropped.

According to a report in the Champaign, Ill., News Gazette, Parkland College student Brett Vanasdlen, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to two years of court supervision.

WND reported when it happened Peter LaBarbera of the activist group Americans for Truth said it appeared it was a confrontation between two students: one hollering at the second, and the second pushing the first away.

According to reports, on April 12 Vanasdlen and a friend saw two homosexuals leaning on each other and holding hands, walking toward them on the sidewalk. Vanasdlen commented on "two guys holding hands."

Then, reports said, one of the "two guys" grabbed Vanasdlen by the shoulder and shouted at him. Brett told him to go away, then pushed him away, the reports said. The homosexual fell to the ground and called police.

Vanasdlen not only was the only one arrested, he was accused of a felony because the alleged victim is homosexual, reports said.

LaBarbera said at the time the circumstances were confirmed by VanAsdlen's mother, Rona Lee, when he talked with her.

He reported she confirmed her son did not initiate physical contact with the other participant in the dispute, 20-year-old homosexual University of Illinois student Steven Velasquez.

"She said Velasquez was yelling at Brett and 'in his face' and that Brett told him twice to get away from him before pushing him away," he said.

The mother told WND at the time she'd been asked by legal counsel not to talk with reporters.

"I just ask for prayers," she said, identifying the state's "hate crimes" as the problem.

"This would never have even been an event if this was another heterosexual male and he had a conflict with, and that's just unfair," she said. "I am a conservative Christian, and my son is. All we are doing is asking for prayers and support from people that may be opposed to this sort of thing happening.

"The true danger of hate-crimes laws is selective prosecution and unequal protection under the law. If a homosexual were to push an obnoxious Christian onto the ground, or things got out of control after a verbal spat, would he be facing a felony hate-crime conviction and possible jail time in Champaign, Ill., right now?" LaBarbera said at the time.

It's unbelievable what this country has come to.  Censorship, telling a fag to back off and getting punished for it, etc.
Anyone thinking that this country won't be severly judged is sorely mistaken.
Anyone even contemplating turning their life over to Christ, but has been holding off for whatever reason, better make your mind's up quick before it's too late.  The Lord is coming soon.  I don't know how much worse it has to get but I don't see how much worse it can get before He removes his own from this rotten place.  The reason He hasn't done it yet is prove positive that He doesn't want anyone to perish but to have eternal life.  I wouldn't wait another day or even another hour.  He's calling you now!  And NOW is the time to answer Him!
In Christ,

Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Rom 5:12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Rom 6:23  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 1:18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Rom 3:20  Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Rom 3:27  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Rom 2:4  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Rom 3:22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Rom 3:28  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom 4:21  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Rom 4:24  But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Rom 5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Rom 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Democrats rule Senate – but not with super majority
Party falls short of securing 60 votes

Democrats fell short of securing a 60-vote majority in the Senate to effectively defeat attempts to block legislation.

They currently hold a 51-49 Senate majority, including two Democrat-leaning independents, but they quickly picked up several Republican seats.

Twelve Democrat and 23 Republican seats were up for election this year, and Democrats have successfully taken at least five of the coveted nine votes from the GOP.

Democrats taking Republican-held seats

Virginia Democrat Mark Warner secured a Senate seat long held by the GOP, replacing retiring Republican Sen. John Warner. In New Hampshire, Democrat Jeanne Shaheen defeated Republican incumbent John Sununu. North Carolina's Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole lost her seat to Democrat Kay Hagan. Democrat Tom Udall took New Mexico, while Democrat Mark Udall will replace retiring Republican Wayne Allard of Colorado. Democrat Jeff Merkley defeated incumbent Republican Gordon H. Smith of Oregon.

Returning Democrats

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden won another six-year term representing Delaware. Democratic Sen. John Kerry kept his Massachusetts seat, as did Democrat Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.; Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark.; Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont.; Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa; Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I.; Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.; Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D. and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., also won new terms in the Senate.

Returning Republicans

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine; Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.; Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas; Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.; Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.; Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan.; Sen. Michael Enzi, R-Wyo.; Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo.; Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., kept their Senate seats. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., won the seat of retiring Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, while Idaho Republican Jim Risch has beaten Democrat rival Larry LaRocco to replace Republican Larry Craig in the Senate.

Assisted suicide green-lighted in Washington 
Following Oregon in allowing death by prescription

Voters in Washington are endorsing by a 56 percent to 44 percent margin a plan that makes the state the second in the union to allow residents to choose to die.

According to the campaign group NoAssistedSuicide.com, measure I-1000 will legalize assisted suicide and redefines suicide as a medical treatment.

"It would allow doctors to order lethal drug overdoses to people with life-limiting illnesses, even if they are depressed," opponents said.

With returns not completed, the vote was 421,592 to 331,270 in favor of the plan, according to state officials.

But there are potential problems, opponents said.

"People who are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness often become depressed," the opponents said. "This depression is usually temporary and treatable. I-1000 does not require assessment or treatment for depression. [I-1000, Section 6]. Because the waiting period is only 15 days, a suicidal 'cry for help' could be met with a bottle of lethal drugs, instead of encouragement and treatment."

The measure also does not require family members to be told and could create a situation similar to Oregon, the only other state that allows assisted suicide, in which a state health plan pays for assisted suicide for a cancer patient but not treatment.

It also has no requirement for a witness, creating the opportunity "for an heir or stressed-out caregiver to administer the lethal overdose to the patient without his consent."

Supporters of the plan raised $5.5 million to promote it, while opponents worked with about $1.5 million, largely raised from Christian groups and individuals.

Suicide proponents say it offers solutions.

"All it does is give terminally ill patients the choice of how and when to end their suffering," says the Yes on 1000 "Death with Dignity Facts" website. "People who choose Death With Dignity have few medical options left. At the end stages, it is compassionate to allow terminally ill patients the choice of ending their suffering."

But the Washington plan has been opposed by a wide range of leaders, including actor Martin Sheen.

"It's a dangerous idea that could be imposed on the poor, disabled and most vulnerable in our society," he said. "People who are ill need real medical care and compassion, not lethal drugs."

The New York Times reported last year 341 people died by their own "choice" in Oregon.

Among the prominent supporters has been a group called Compassion and Choices, formerly was known as the Hemlock Society.

Colorado voters deny unborn are 'persons'
Reject plan to set up challenge to Roe v. Wade

Voters in Colorado have denied that the unborn are "persons," rejecting a proposed constitutional amendment.

With full returns not yet reported, a measure that would have afforded the unborn constitutional rights was trailing 1,201,202 to 432,390, or 74 percent to 26 percent.

Voters in South Dakota also were approving a Planned Parenthood-funded campaign to defeat a near-total ban on abortion, and California voters were considering a plan to require parents of minors to be notified before abortionists performed operations on their children. Results from that vote were not yet available.

The vote in South Dakota, which just a few weeks earlier had celebrated a court victory over the abortion industry, was trailing 190,936 to 155,931, or about 55 percent to about 45 percent. In California, early returns had the notification requirement split almost 50-50.

Kristi Burton, a pro-life activist who organized Colorado's campaign, said the issue already is being considered in a number of other states for future elections.

"We consider this a victory regardless," she told WND. "This is a new issue."

"This goes to the foundation of the [abortion] issue. It does challenge Roe vs. Wade," she said. "We should consider this, as a nation, and I think we will."

The plan by ColoradoForEqualRights.com would have granted to the unborn the status of "personhood."

"All humans should be protected by love and by law, and this amendment is a historic effort to ensure equal rights for every person," said Burton.

Opponents fretted the campaign is a direct challenge to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Constitution granted a right to abortion.

"This proposed constitutional amendment will define a person in Colorado as a human being from the moment of fertilization, the moment when life begins," according to a statement at Colorado for Equal Rights.

"This amendment will establish a cornerstone for protecting human life in our society … and we all know this is the right thing to do," the statement said. "This campaign is not about the power of money – it is about the power of truth."

Officials said the effort had put Colorado, where the nation's first state law allowing abortion was written by Dick Lamm, a former governor, at the front of efforts to protect life in the U.S.

Personhood arguments started gaining momentum after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the procedure known as partial-birth abortion can be restricted.

The Colorado plan targeted a loophole U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun created when he wrote the original abortion opinion.

Blackmun concluded: "(If the) suggestion of personhood [of the preborn] is established, the [abortion rights] case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment."

By defining the unborn as a person, supporters believe, voters can simply spread the covering of constitutional protection over them, too.

The South Dakota plan would have allowed abortion only for rape and a few other rare circumstances.

It was in the Plains state where an appeals court recently affirmed the constitutionality of a state law requiring abortionists to provide to potential patients scientific and accurate information about abortions.

Activists reported then that the new state law requiring abortionists to inform women – before an abortion – that the procedure "will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being" apparently led to a temporary shutdown at Planned Parenthood's abortion facility.

The law, endorsed by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, provides for penalties of up to two years in jail as well as loss of a medical license for abortionists who fail to follow its requirements.

The abortion ban had even been endorsed by one of the founding members of the National Abortion Rights Action League, Dr. Bernard Nathanson.

WND also reported just days ago when pro-life activists accused abortion promoters of attempted voter fraud.

The evidence was assembled by VoteYesForLife.com organization, which had a volunteer, equipped with a tape recorder, visit the abortion activists who organized opposition to Measure 11.

He then appeared on a YouTube video, describing how he was instructed to not only lobby against the abortion limits, but also vote, even though he was a temporary visitor to the state.

"They … told me that many of them have registered to vote in South Dakota and they have no intention of staying here," he said.

The activist identified only as Eduardo said, "They gave me posters, they gave me literature, and they also gave me instructions on how I could do the same thing they are doing which is to influence the election South Dakotans should decide."

The pro-life organization said it has asked South Dakota Attorney General Larry Long to investigate.

The ban included several exceptions: the life of the mother, the health of the mother, the rape of the mother and incest.

The South Dakota Legislature previously approved a complete ban on abortion, without such exceptions, which was endorsed by 44 percent of the voters in the state in 2006 in a ballot measure attacked by a multi-million dollar ad campaign by abortion providers.

In California, voters were asked to require parental notification before an abortion could be performed on a minor.

The group called YesOn4.net said girls under 18 cannot get a tan, a cavity filled or an aspirin from a school nurse without a parent knowing.

"But a doctor can perform a surgical or chemical abortion … without informing a parent."

The plan simply requires physicians to notify "at least one adult family member before performing an abortion on an under-18-year-old girl."

At work last night, I had about 5 news sites up on my computer so that I could keep track of things, or maybe I was hoping to get different results when I didn't like the one that I was looking at....anyway I was surprised to see that this measure was winning in my own state.  There has been nothing but bad news this political season and I sure don't see things getting any better.  I haven't lost hope in my LORD but I certainly have lost hope for our country and the world.  Things have gone too far to turn back now.  And the fact of the matter is they had gone too far before this election, I just wanted to believe that it could be fixed.
One fella in the news last night said, "It feels like doom is coming".  I think he is right.  The only way out of this mess is a faith in Christ and a one way air lift home.

It's English-only for Missourians
89% of voters approve making language official

With support from 89 percent of the voting public, Missourians have decided English will be the official language of their state.

"Voters spoke decisively Tuesday on a ballot measure in Missouri to enact English as the official language of their state government," said K.C. McAlpin, executive director of ProEnglish.

"Our organization urged Missourians to vote 'yes' on constitutional amendment No. 1 to enshrine English as the official language in the state constitution," McAlpin said. "Unfortunately the United States is one of the few countries in the world without an official language. So having official English in a state constitution is important to protect it from being thrown out by activist judges who want to substitute their own rule for that of the people."

He said although the Missouri vote was split almost evenly between Barack Obama and John McCain, a huge majority approved the English plan.

(Story continues below)

          

"This landslide vote confirms national polls reflecting that a vast majority of Americans – Democrat, Republican and independent – reject costly and confusing multilingualism and support English as our nation's official language."

WND recently reported when the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5642 in Montrose, Pa., delivered a new message for the many telemarketers who call its answering machine: Speak English.

Those who call the post when no one's around to answer the telephone will be greeted by a pleasant, female voice on the answering machine saying, "Hi, you've reached the Montrose VFW, Post 5642. We are an English-speaking, American establishment. If you do not speak English or believe in America, please hang up."

The one-story, white VFW post is a popular gathering point for veterans along Pennsylvania's Route 706, according to a WNEP-TV report. According to its post commander, the VFW's phone number is also a popular target of telemarketers, many of whom speak in broken English.

"We are living in America," Post Commander John Miner told WNEP. "We should be able to speak English."
