Next time some republican half-wit starts yapping at you about how Militiant Homosexual activists and Liberal Activist Judges hate the democratic process because they don’t want the voters to decide the issue of same sex marriage…laugh in their face.<\/p>\n

Letting The Voters Decide anyone…?<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Laura Ingraham has asked her listeners to call the Dem Voter protection hotline — and they are now being flooded with calls from crank callers.  Please call Laura and tell her what you think about this:  800.876.4123.  You can e-mail her here.  Apparently, voter intimidation and fraud are a joke to Laura Ingraham.  Let’s let her know that it is no joke […]<\/p>\n

More on Laura Ingraham:  "caller indicated she is running a tape of Bill Clinton over and over saying "call 1-888 Dem Vote to report problems" — and then making fun of him, thus producing a spike in crank calls to the number" Protecting voter integrity is no joke.  And I am not laughing.  If anyone has audio of this, I’d love it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Democracy anyone…?<\/a><\/p>\n

The headquarters for Jay Fawcett’s campaign for Colorado’s 5th Congressional District was vandalized overnight and a death threat – the third such threat – was also emailed to Fawcett. Both incidents have been reported to the police.  <\/p>\n

As voters headed to the polls, Fawcett campaign volunteers arriving at campaign offices were greeted with a vile "Skunk" aroma, making it virtually impossible to conduct work there.  The campaign is expecting more than 200 people to come through the offices today to help with Get Out The Vote and Poll Watching efforts.  <\/p>\n

"Don’t let these hooligans deter you from exercising your Constitutional right to vote," said Fawcett.  "It’s time to take a stand against these attacks."<\/p>\n

This is the second time the Fawcett Campaign has been vandalized. Last Tuesday the Campaign Finance Director’s car was covered in the skunk smell, while parked out front of the El Paso County Republican Office.  <\/p>\n

"I find it disgusting that, as we are fighting for Democracy in Iraq, people are besmirching Democracy here in Colorado Springs," said Fawcett Campaign Manager Wanda James. "Death threats and childish illegal activities will not deter us from getting out the vote to victory today."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
