If too many people show up to vote, we lose. Then the Radical Muslin Sleepercell will take over America. That's why we need you to send the following message to every librul, Obama-lover and homo sexual you know. Especially think of people in big cities.

U.S. Dept. of Voting and Crime
1400 PA. Av., Washington D.C. 90210

OFFICIAL NOTICE TO ANYONE
VOTING FOR PRESIDENT

The FBI and cops will be staking out all voting places on election day. If you show up there, they will check a computer. They will see if you owe any woman money or owe a parking ticket or are being foreclosed.

McCain has a radio ad on the air that attacks Obama for "Helping his friends with your tax dollars." It includes a charge that Obama procured a $75,000 grant for "a relative." "That’s your money Obama’s using. That’s unethical."

Here's some info on that grant, from excerpts of an AP article as published on Salon.com:
http://www.salon.com/...

"As a state senator, Democrat Barack Obama awarded $75,000 in government grants to a Chicago social service organization led by a rabbi who is also his wife's cousin, records show. In 1999, Obama arranged for $50,000 for adult literacy and counseling services offered on Chicago's South Side by a group called Blue Gargoyle. A $25,000 grant for the group's youth services followed the next year.

Update: http://www.factcheck.org/... has completed a fact check of other parts of this ad.

Several updates were made to this post, as more information was made available.

The following account is paraphrased from several posts by BrotherJonah today, including the following:

http://www.alfrankenweb.com/...

BrotherJonah shares a house in Colorado Springs, Colorado with a widow who he calls Miss Johnnie. He came home and found the woman was crying and showing him a table full of Chinese food. He thought one of our friends or my relatives had come over and bought for them.

Obama volunteers were canvasing in the area and knocked on the door of Miss Johnnie. She is a registered Republican, but told them she was supporting Obama. She then started to tell them her troubles, including how her husband was a Vietnam Vet who died of Agent Orange. One of the volunteers was a Marine and a Vietnam Vet. The volunteer then started making calls on his cell phone. Soon, he handed the phone to Miss Johnnie. It was Barack Obama.

The GOP has not given up the ridiculous fight over whether a voter in PA is allowed to wear a campaign button or a shirt with their candidate's name on it while they vote. Two Republican officials sued in Commonwealth Court to seek a ban. The State Republican Party endorsed that lawsuit.

We thought the issue had been ended when the PA. Department of State's Commissioner of Elections (the top elections official) sent a letter to all counties in PA. telling them to not turn away voters for simply wearing a button or a shirt promoting their candidate. "Active" campaigning inside a polling place is still prohibited, but simply wearing a button or shirt is considered "passive." Many Republican-controlled counties had said they would ignore that letter, but most have recently said they will allow political clothing.

UPDATE: Judge rules on attire at polls
AP October 31, 2008

"A Pennsylvania state judge Thursday effectively left it up to the counties to decide if voters can wear partisan attire to the polls and refused to clamp down on the voter registration group ACORN as the state Republican Party had sought."

I started with the lengthy and very wordy description of Obama's economic plan from his website, and edited it down to a 2 page version that I believe is much more likely to be read. You are welcome to reproduce it and pass it out. I didn't add anything that was not already on the official plan.

Bill Donaldson was the respected head of the Securities and Exchange Commission who wanted to regulate the hedge fund industry. For that reason, he was forced to resign in 2005. The two Republicans on the SEC who fought his efforts are still on the Commission.

Here's excerpts of a 2007 interview by Bill Moyers of Mr. Donaldson:

The weakness of the stock market not only affects big investors. It also affects retirement funds, college savings accounts, pension funds and finances of your local and state government (who may need to put more money into their pension funds). The market also affects many retirees, who have seen companies cut their stock dividends. In addition, colleges are having a more difficult time providing financial aid as their endowments fall in value.

Many of the largest corporations in the US have seen a 20 to 30% reduction in their stock price in just the last 7 months. Some major companies are down 50% in that time, such as Wachovia Bank. One of the few exceptions is Walmart.

Excerpts from the AFL-CIO website, with much more at the link:

"McCain ‘Would Negotiate a Free Trade Agreement with Almost Any Country.’ "If I were president, I would negotiate a free trade agreement with almost any country." (Speech to National Press Club, 5/20/99)

Rising Chinese Trade Deficits Resulted in 2.1 Million Displaced Jobs. "The rise in the U.S. trade deficit with China between 1997 and 2006 has displaced production that could have supported 2,166,000 U.S. jobs....Between 1997 and 2001, trade deficits displaced an average of 101,000 jobs per year.... Since China entered the WTO in 2001, job loss has increased to an average of 353,000 per year." ("Costly Trade With China," Economy Policy Institute, 10/9/07)

McCain Believes Human Rights Should Have No Bearing on MFN Trading Status. According to Project Vote Smart, McCain does not think a country’s record on human rights should have any bearing on awarding Most Favored Nation trading status. (Project VoteSmart, 1998)"

The above photos were taken by a professional photographer, Dean Hawkey, of Obama's surprise visit to Downtown Bethlehem PA yesterday. Click on each photo to enlarge it.

Here's excerpts of his well-written account, which he sent out by email:

"Whether you were in the right vein of gossip or not to hear that a celebrity had planned a last minute walk in the streets of Historic Bethlehem today, it doesn't matter. Apparently, one person told someone and that was just too big of news to just keep secret.

Yes, Barack was planning on taking an afternoon stroll. But shhh!!!! it is a secret! Try to tell an Obama supporter that they can't show their pride! Yeah that didn't work so well.

Barack stepped out onto the streets of Historic downtown Bethlehem. From that moment on he was shaking hands, cracking jokes, consoling crying women that were explaining how much he has brought hope back into their lives. One woman that wanted a picture of her baby so bad that even though the baby screamed before it even saw Barack, she had to have that shot. "

I found this over at http://www.democraticunderground.com...
in a post by EffieBrown

This Week with George Stephanopoulos, May 13, 2007:

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: You have a very cool style when you're doing those town meetings where you're out on the campaign trail, and I wonder, how much of that is tied to your race?

SENATOR BARACK OBAMA: That's interesting.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: One of your friends told "The New Yorker" magazine that the mainstream is just not ready for a fire-breathing black man so do you turn down the temperature on purpose?

SENATOR BARACK OBAMA: You know, I don't think it has to do with race. I think it has to do with when I'm campaigning I'm in a conversation, and what I don't do when I'm campaigning is to try to press a lot of hot buttons and use a lot of cheap applause lines because I want people to get a sense of how I think about this process, I want them to have some ability to walk through with me the difficult choices that we face.

Obama announced plans for what his campaign is calling a five-day "On Track for Change" Tour that starts with town hall meetings Friday in Erie and Williamsport and end with a rally on Independence Mall in Philadelphia that night.

On Saturday, the Pennsylvania tour continues as Obama boards a train from Philadelphia for an old fashioned whistle-stop tour across southeastern Pennsylvania that will end in Harrisburg.

That would have him travelling along the Main Line and to Lancaster and then Harrisburg. The Mayor of Lancaster is a vocal supporter of Obama, so I would expect a major stop there.

For more details as they become released in the future, go to:

Obama was interviewed this morning on the main Phila. talk radio station (WPHT) by Michael Smerconish, a Republican who has appeared on national shows on MSNBC and Bill Maher. It was a very positive interview.

http://www.philly.com/...

Obama, Smerconish talk church, bin Laden
By Peter Mucha, Philadelphia Inquirer

"This is not a crackpot church," the Democratic presidential candidate said of Trinity United Church of Christ. ". . . This is a pillar of the community, and if you go there on Easter, this Easter Sunday, and you sat down there in the pew, you would think this is just like any other church." Obama told WPHT host Michael Smerconish these isolated excerpts give a distorted picture.
