You left out several very important items in this latest `they stole the
election' version:


1. Exactly how many individuals were arrested and charged with `preventing
voters from voting'?


2. What are the names of these `voters who were prevented from voting'? When
did they file charges with a U.S. Attorney? I must have missed that.


3. How many indictments were handed down on persons who `prevented voters from
voting'? I must have missed that, too.


4. How many charges were filed agoinst those who `prevented voters from
voting'? Were there any convictions? How many people went to prison?


5. Why weren't these criminal cases more publicized? `Preventing voters from
voting', especially in a national election, is a serious offense.


6. Why didn't the arrests of all those `perpetrators' who `prevented people
from voting' get a lot more publicity? I didn't read anything about them in
the newspaper, or hear Dan Rather or Bob Scheiffer say anything about them.


Are you `sure' about this? It all sounds like typical `hate George Bush'
cockamamie BS. `Cause.....without any indictments, arrests, convictions, etc,
its all a bunch of hot air.
