About a month ago I received the following email. I had forwarded an email to our Democratic supporters an action alert concerning the Voter ID bill moving through the state legislature in South Carolina. The action alert from the SC League of Women Voters was encouraging people to call their State Legislator to vote No to the bill. Apparently that email was forwarded to a very disturbed individual.

I've now heard it twice, the latest just a few minutes ago on MTP. Senator Coburn tells the story of a citizen who used their gun to stop a gunman at a Colorado Springs Church. I can't recall who told the story first, but I did wonder about the story at the time. When I heard it repeated again, I just knew there had been more to the story than what they were spouting.

I can't believe South Carolina's U.S. House of Representative Gresham Barrett sent a letter to a local constituent, writing of the positive aspects of H.R. 3590, Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act. I've seen it with my own eyes! After his introductory remark of "thank you for contacting me", the letter continues with -

As you know, one of the most pressing problems in health care is the large number of uninsured and underinsured Americans, 700,000 of which are located in South Carolina. I understand that you support health care reform legislation that will provide insurance coverage to all Americans.

I should note that Gresham Barrett is currently running for South Carolina Governor. His House seat is open, with republican and Democratic primaries in June. The letter follows with a long paragraph giving factual information about the health care reform bill.

This past Saturday, Representative Joe "you lie" Wilson was in Aiken, SC at the invitation of the Aiken County Republican Party. A few days before the "event" our local newspaper had a small article about a woman who was planning a protest against Wilson. I knew then that I just had to go see for myself what would happen. I had friends from Illinois staying with us for the weekend. As retired AFSCME staff and strong Democrats they too were ready to see what would transpire. My daughter decided to join us for the sheer entertainment of watching how the three of us would react to hearing Wilson's speech.

Last Monday, the Aiken County Election Board closed the three satellite voting locations in the county. An 11th hour protest from a South Carolina Republican who is serving as counsel and parliamentarian to the party, shut down the satellite absentee voting locations on Monday.

Last night the Aiken County Election Board held an emergency meeting to reopen the satellite offices. According the the South Carolina Attorney General's office, satellite absentee voting is allowed. http://chronicle.augusta.com/...

In order to vote early a South Carolinian must meet the criteria to absentee vote. To be eligible to absentee vote, the list includes: over 65 years of age, physically disabled, military, for reasons of employment that prevents voting on election day and a few other reasons. http://scvotes.org/...
The Aiken County Election Board had set up several satellite absentee voting sites around the county due to the large number anticipated to be absentee voting. One of the satellite absentee sites in the city of Aiken was supposed to open yesterday.

I had received one of the many Obama smear emails from an old hometown friend who asked me ,"Is this true?" The smear email was entitled, Obama the Patriot - removes American flag from his plane. It cited Snopes.com, but, of course, didn't include the entire article. I was able to debunk it, in addition to replying to my friend, I also replied to his buddy that had sent it to him. Well, that has been a mistake, or at least a challenge. Now I keep getting replies from the guy and I can't let them pass, so I keep countering his stupidity. The latest email from the idiot, is the one I am asking you for help. I need some direction, with short replies to issues that I know need detail, but figure the guy won't read anything more than a few sentences. His email is below the fold:
