Date: Sun Dec 31, 2006 4:22 am ((PST)) SUBJECT: American First et al.: Isn't it time we put American first? It’s not politically incorrect? How do we do this? Well, number one is to acknowledge a fact that Americans are first. It is our country. As always, there is one extremely important exception – that being Native Americans. They aren’t hyphenated Foreigners. Although they have tribal relations and inherent “nations” where some laws vary from United States law within their “reservations” or land set-asides. Early Americans have lineage back to Europe. So how do we distinguish political correctness from political incorrectness? My guess is that maybe we need a paradigm change or a switch. A switch that puts American first. It doesn't matter whether we came from foreign lands. We are Americans first. Now some people think that Americans comes last. Are these people true Americans? Not really! For instance, anyone claiming to be an Asian – American; Irish – American; Polish - American or other – American is telling us in very plain English that their allegiance in not with American traditions, law, or culture. Remember not long ago when Mexican - Americans marched carrying a foreign flag demanding American benefits? And, Congress voted to give them our tax paid benefits leaving our elderly at risk in favor of illegals. I didn’t vote for those Congressmen and ten to one you didn’t either. Yet, Congress ignores the people who pay the bills in favor of those who don’t. Congress don’t know how to correct their political incorrectness – a big mistake. It seems that they want to claim to be politically correct, but they don't know how. “Political incorrectness” has us describing people from their heritage not there loyalty, allegiance, or citizenship. How you say, do we do this? We Americans have let a few foreigners come here and tell us that we're not politically correct. Well, don't we call foreigners, Foreign - Americans. In reality, haven’t they come to America actually, to become American - Foreigners. I began this piece several days ago before I received a copy of an excerpt of an Australian debate. We are not alone in thinking our World is being torn apart by multicultural chaos. It has been first identified in Europe – where government after government has tried to tolerate this movement to be politically correct. Where I grew up; we respected ancestry and family lineage because we were all Americans. We recited our "Pledge of Allegiance" with hand over heart each morning in class and sang our "National Anthem". All of our blackboards had the “Golden Rule” above. And, we honored our currency for its “In GOD We Trust” message.
People around the world want that money more than any other currency because it is based upon a stable economy from a nation with Godly resolve. Even our enemies want our currency, and those who provide oil want our currency almost to an obsession. Is that politically correct? Today, we’re told by those same aclu Euro - Asian lawyers our Aussie neighbors are challenging, that we need to tolerate their alternative life styles and their individual beliefs in our country as well. Is it really Asian - Americans who came from Japan and China? Well, no! Asians as did other nationalities came here. However, after becoming legal immigrants, and ultimately citizens; they become American – Asians. Our media made that distinction of Asian – Americans after Blacks became African – Americans. It was a new tolerance rejecting American first by a few radicals. All my childhood, we learned to respect American – African heritage; their ancestral suffering and how many overcame adversity to become prosperous and important without conflict – Dr. Martin Luther King marched through my neighborhood in Milwaukee – 1968. Now that's, a very distinguishing thought. Put American first! Think about it -- when a foreigner comes to America, they come as Foreign-Americans. Many of those come illegally. Many others come legally, and they immediately become American - Foreigners. They learn the language. They abide by the law. They build businesses and a future for their family, here in America. When they become citizens in seven years of their new native land they learn our English language, "pledge allegiance", and sing the "National Anthem". They also pass a citizenship test (questions will appear at end of this piece). So, they change and become proud American – Foreigners who respect our nation for its abundance, wealth, opportunity and chide our diminishing work ethic. Interesting thought isn't it? In my estimation, it is more politically correct, then what we now know as politically correct. Is that politically incorrect? All of us need to stand up for our American culture, respect of religious freedom for America to be first. Let those who object to a nation of “We The People” tolerate our rules and opportunity to leave if they cannot. [Now here are 143 questions immigrants need to answer to earn citizenship – How many can you answer? Take a stab at it and write down your answers – it is not a multiple guess test. You will be able to review acceptable considerations through a link at the end] 1. Name one important idea found in the Declaration of Independence.

1. Interesting debate Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Dec 29, 2006 4:13 pm ((PST)) Excerpts from an on going debate in Australia. This is true and can be checked at http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/australia.asp Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on National Television. "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia: one the Australian law and another Islamic law that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option", Costello said. Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off. Basically people who don't want to be Australians, and who don't want, to live by Australian values and understand them, well then, they can basically clear off", he said. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesd ay by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: "IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians." "However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the 'politically correct' cr owd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia." "However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand." "This idea of Australia being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. And as Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle." "This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom" Gene www.gzarwell.com |

3. I will Agree..
Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Thu Dec 14, 2006 8:13 pm ((PST)) et al.:
Bob Schieffer today had two high-level guests. Democratic Armed Forces Committee Chairman Carl Levin and Republican Trent Lott Senate Minority Leader.
They are prime examples of why no member of Congress could ever be an effective President of our Great Nation. In twenty minutes allotted to them to discuss Jim Baker and Lee Hamilton's report, they had virtually
nothing to say as though neither had even read the document or the paper book Executive Summary.
Small talk from self-proclaimed leaders doesn't make me or I hope many of you feel secure about who determines America's future. In general they both left it up to the President who seems to understand better what is
necessary to bring peace to the middle-east.
That I will agree with.
Administration bashing is passe'. However, there is no one in Washington leadership who has any idea of how to determine success or failure, but are willing to criticize, demonize, and demoralize American
values.
Most importantly was praise for both Houses to decide to work a full five-day work-week their last session this year. And, they bickered over that because it would take time away from their families and would have to
reschedule their kid's brownie troop meetings.
Folks start looking for a Presidential candidate that is not beholding to pour special interest Congress. Someone who has more experience in your life experience instead of that greatest welfare program we all dream
about - Membership in Congress. Well maybe not, but the benies are better than anywhere else around our globe - work for one's self, represent your neighbors and get paid from Federal taxes. Absolutely, the greatest
scam in history.
Every announced Presidential wannabe is a non-practicing attorney disregarding Edwards who was an ambulance chaser and class-action beneficiary. Hillary is unelectable, Obama is untested, and Republicans have a
couple of 15 minute "famers", a POW and a has-been Congressional leader thrown out by his constituents.
Embarrassing or just not attractable (congressional responsibility) to hard working private sector executives, family owned businesses and employees working to support their families within their American dream,
but without welfare or government intervention.
It was announced that Skilling begins his 24 year sentence for what Congress does to us every session.
Where is any incentive to conduct business honorably, trusted providers of profit of which Congress controls and misspends not mentioning those moral values of protecting our youth in those hallowed halls of Congress.
I guess I just did - mention those miss-moral values that makes leaders stand out.
If Skillings and Stewart had to take responsibility for everyday behavior in Congress, why o' why don't we hold those in Congress responsible? Guess you can only get away with $90,000 in your freezer until elections
are settled!
If this year's election was supposed to impress nations around the World to feel secure by American leadership and performance, we just re-elected and elected the worst class of Freeloaders for our 106th Congress than ever
before in history.
Instead of Congress' false empathy, purchased compassion, and waffling audience appeals; it's just a good thing we have a President to can cope with tough decisions, ignore inane small talk for air-time, and lead through
resolve with forthrightness with clarity while strategizing those Texas Hold'em deals with a poker face.
Merry Christmas!

1. ATM SCAM Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Sat Dec 2, 2006 9:00 am ((PST)) et al.: My submissions to Coffeetalks are not being published for whatever reason, but you can as millions of others do, read them on my website. This message has some really practical advice you all need to know so take some time to protect your bank accounts. I've noted many attempts to try to justify this year's election results. Folks, votes didn't count as always. Analysis will not overcome corruption and voter fraud. Don't believe that myth about dems outnumbering Republicans. It takes 88 percent of Republican registrations to give them that edge. Without a recount assurance, 151 West Street and its Baltimore "bosses", there will never be a valid vote count or reports of how many voters actually went to polls. How could Republicans have a 57%-60% margin at 11:00 p.m. with 63 percent precincts reporting and then next morning after Dems claimed victory in front of live cameras while throughout this nation Maryland was the only state reporting that votes don't count. Do you believe that? They covered it up with phony charges about literature to "get-out-the-vote" so voter fraud would be out of the headlines. They need a better strategist and we need our recently elected Montgomery County Attorneys General to throw the Baltimore bastards in jail. Bet he don't! Gene You can read all my Coffeetalks at www.gzarwell.us/messages06.htm OMG! I would most likely fall for this scam. (See attached file: ATM_THEFTS.pps) |

1. ...private sector experience. Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Sun Nov 26, 2006 11:40 am ((PST)) et al.: Common Democratic misperception about Iraqi War: It has lasted longer than WWII. Not so, folks. Maybe those Democrats like Dick Durbin, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy weren't around then, but WWII went from bombing Pear Harbor in 1941 to Armistice Day now known as Veterans Day in 1945. Yes, that amounts to about three years not including the 50 plus years we had troops in Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea and Okinawa, plus other smaller contingencies in Greece, Turkey and France. Many are still serving in those countries. I haven't done the numbers, but a great majority of our representatives in both houses of Congress are lawyers with strong credentials from liberal institutions professing secular values. In other words, you don't matter. Government does. Sad but true. You won't be a part of it unless you get dependent upon Congress, either on welfare, government contracts or their idea of minimum wage and stipends called Social Security that they will take back eight to fifteen percent if you try to better yourself. Roosevelt introduced it as a safety net not a tax cash cow for Congressional entitlement packages. If you have any experience in court you will listen to distortions of fact, technicalities that don't matter, and precedents based upon someone else's case. Hardly ever will you hear truth and justice from our officers of the court. I bring this up because in Congress, experience in circumventing truth and fact reaches out more than any other attribute members have. Bank of America, in 1998 lost a good deal of my money before we were all concerned about security and ID theft. I used a debit card in March or April of that year, a one-time over the Internet purchase of something - software I guess. I was a little bit nervous about trying that and never did again for many years. Several months later I received via direct deposit a significant amount of money from a seven-year court case against the Defense Department. It was taken from my account by up to 65 unknown accounts leaving me with nothing. I was not aware of that action for several weeks because back then online management was always thirty days later and paper alerts were after monthly statements were sent out by snail mail. Way I found out was rent checks started bouncing, utility bills - same. Most importantly were three checks for Auto insurance, driver's license renewal, and auto tags. All three came with heavy penalties and no money in my account. Within days a Sheriff knocked on my door to serve me two-day notice to vacate my apartment. With little time I contacted an auctioneer to come get my goods thinking I would get enough money from $22,000 of beautiful pine and oak furniture to survive on for a few months. Laugh again. My receipts from that transaction came to $1,710.00 enough to send my sponsored Russian friend's son back to Moscow and out of Beaver College in Philadelphia. Hard lesson learned. I filed a complaint as directed by Bank Of America officials with Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, who forwarded the case to Comptroller of the Currency in Texas. I never received a disposition on that case and was struggling with a place to live - my car and a friends office. Bank Of America executives suggested three years later that it was a government retrieval, for what ever reason. In 2003 when I stabilized again, I phoned the Comptroller of the Currency to see if the case was ever resolved. They sent me a packet of Bank of America documents indicating overdrafts in July through September - case closed. What was missing from Bank of America filings was a cause for those overdrafts in April, May and June, 1998. Debit card fraud not covered under credit card protection - now it does at my expense. Another aspect was that they instructed me to make an overdraft payment of $300 to bring that account current but failed to notify me that they changed their routing number, so my third party check was returned ten days later and had to be replaced. Because of that delay they claimed a $90 overdraft amount and when I went to pay that, they said there was another $5.01 due for interest and I had until close of Business on Monday October 5, 1998 to make that payment. I did, got a receipt, and was told later that the check was not recorded due to a "system down". On October 29th, they wrote telling me my account was still overdue, and had I made payment as discussed would not have experienced a forced closure and reporting to some phony agency designed to protect us. Here's their kicker - as soon as there is a problem with a minus sign - they restrict access to online account information and never answer their customer service number. Why is that? I can only think it is to confuse any rights of customers to know how badly they are destroying your financial worthiness and take advantage of those penalty fees allowed by Congress voted upon by lawyers who support their local lawyer peers with collection accounts - really, most can't even handle that ethically. Asking for replacement checks is a common tactic by tellers at Bank of America and is not an isolated matter. I have talked with hundreds of people who thought it was just an anomaly with them. I never got a returned check, but was asked to get my clients to cut me new ones. ATM machine deposits, on the other hand, give you 50 percent availability within seconds. Lesson was learned and I no longer use any Bank of America services except ATM deposit of local paper checks with immediate
online transfer to pay bills. |

Biggest real estate deal on the table! Two houses for one price.
Potential buyers have promises on the table, but credit reports show it won't work. There is not enough capital in our Capitol to make a deal worth anything.
Representatives of both houses in Congress have already started saying:
(1) they will put legislation forward to raise minimum wages including theirs.
(2) They will raise taxes by not renewing tax breaks that created jobs and lowered prices.
(3) They will demand that every notice a "Baby Boomer and their predecessors" receive from government will announce additional deductions from your private sector Social Security benefits/Medicare/Medicaid
programs that Franklin Roosevelt said would never be taxed;
(4) They will nether add deductions from programs for members of Congress nor imposed. them.
It goes back to an age-old question mine - Why do we tax monies given from government coffers? It all comes from private sector taxpaying employers and employees that should not be played with for Congress misuse
of our funds.
My favorite concept is that definition of legislation: "Legislation is a great promise that when amended becomes a bill that private-sector, taxpaying employers and employees must pay - then they deduct cost of
those amendments from our so called Social Security and medical safety net while complaining that 63 percent of citizens don't have health insurance. They don't even care about that last note.
Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Carl Levin all indicated that U.S. policy is now "up for sale" to any country willing to buy in to keep them in office past January 21, 2009. Just come to our table and
place a bid. Highest bidder gets to set policy and buy the Brooklyn Bridge and maybe Arizona's London Bridge. There is no pea under the shells.
I remember in the 1950's, our neighborhood was ripe for "I can get it wholesale". Then there was Treasure Island, Kresge, and along came Target, Kohl's, Kmart, and Wal-Mart.
Biden and Levin talk about change - those same changes planned for 3 years and blocked by their partisanship are now all of a sudden their new approach. It is always best in their eyes to tell our
"enemies" in advance our tactics to keep them well informed about how to get a better deal in America. Neither one of them has served other than in Congress. Yet, there verbosity and loose lips contributed
to more than 3,000 deaths of American - Coalition forces and tens of thousands of mutilations of wounded troops.
Unlike "9-11 and Katrina victims" who received millions of dollars and feel entitled to more; many of our military community who over the years secured our country not only defending battlefields; but also
deterring homeland attacks, only receive a stipend and a miniscule disability payment to support their kids through college and their spouses willingness to take care of them since Congress won't fund it, their chief war
spokesman, John Kerry blamed them for his atrocities.
Let's hope our values, morals, economy, and personal freedoms aren't that bargaining chip from caving into secularism forwarded to that "me" generation who could care less or don't get it.
Sam Donnellson finally figured out that West Texans are stubborn and just dig their heels in. Unfortunately, Sam's dug in too deep where it's still warm and steaming. Bob Schieffer, on the other hand gives Bush
a nod "to do what he believes is right; and not just the far right (that abandoned him)".
Good news is that most Democratic Presidential wannabes, from Congress are feeling more comfortable without risk of losing their strangle hold on millions of personal dollars from Congressional graft than a loss in
2008 and lose everything like McCain, Frist, and Allen. Other Democrats running will probably keep running away from Hillary.
Hillary already lost, Bill has a new girl friend, Belinda Stronach, from Canada, much closer to home than Washington.
One last note, Maryland's corrupt legislature and recent voter fraud made International News as a standard of American politics. That really sux! I don't think Maryland is a standard.

Democrats have promised us reforms and new programs with new directions and responsibilities. While analyzing their rhetoric, I find they really just want to use more of our private sector money for their ego's and self importance. I don't believe that they were honestly elected because most claimed victory before votes were counted and in some states like Maryland and along our North East rim, they didn't provide adequate numbers of provisional and absentee ballots.
For instance in Maryland; vote counts in 1988-1992-1996-1998-2000-2002-2004 & 2006 were all within hundreds of votes reported with totals around 1.4 million in primaries and 2 million in generals. Yet, voter turnout varied from 28 percent to 63 percent with no increase or decrease in total votes reported. Granted population grew, but as that happened, voter count disproportionately lowered: like the dollar - a 1950 bag of groceries cost less than $1.00; today it costs $13.00+. Your one-vote in 1945 represented one of 143 Million and today it is 1 of 300 Million proportionately
When state officials claimed they ordered 200,000 printed ballots, they only released or made available little over 100,000 that were not counted and then declared winning during evening news at 11 releasing a number for O'Malley to be just above that they claimed were available absentees (those same numbers were used in 2002's 43 percent voter turnout).
Area news media anchors couldn't believe that winners had less vote counts than losers and prevailed - each added a caveat that viewers should disregard vote counts cause their exit polls were more accurate as they questioned their own integrity telling us or votes don't count. What they didn't realize is that PG county tallies are reported with any deficit in Baltimore or Montgomery county under guise that its voting mechanism
is screwed up - no lie there - thus delayed returns.
Exit polls were dispatched by Maryland's election officials to media and available before Richard Daly could arrive with historical recount ballots, not to mention AL Gore's 10,000 votes never counted according to Richard Daly, Jr.; but still sitting outside a Florida Courthouse. This is a Kerry genre joke.
It was remarkable to hear Nancy Pelosi claim Republicans had the "dirty" votes when it was a Democratic leaning contract for software. It is also not surprising that paper ballots were turned in just didn't have enough of them to overcome early reporting. Every election should require an absentee ballot be mailed to every registered voter to allow verification of registration and status at least three weeks
prior to a designated election period.
It should be required for any election to be recounted three times by three different sectors including - taxpaying citizens - media & accounting, before being accepted by a State Secretary of State or Election
commissioner.
Below are my current top ten recommendations for Congress to claim to be legitimate:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gene's TOP TEN list for Congressional ratification to make their promises viable:
# 10 Enforce Hatch Act disallowing incumbent members of Congress to campaign for other positions in government while employed or within five years of termination, resignation, or re-election to include returning monies to taxpayers proportionate to salary paid during campaign periods and earnings from non-official duties performed on taxpayer time. Additionally, any Federally paid elected official should be elected nationally so every taxpaying voter can voice their opinion of how our money is going to be dispersed.
# 9 Instead of raising minimum wage for start up positions, lower Congressional pay to that of average middle income pay in their sponsor state and eliminate perks and benefit packages exceeding equivalents given to private sector taxpayers in respective states.
# 8 Enact entitlements for taxpaying citizens to allow attendance at any college within their residence state to include stipends for costs in addition to tuition with incentives for performance scholarships from a Department of Education trust fund to those students exceeding upper third grades in legitimate professions requiring five-hour, post graduation, professional examination.
# 7 Return responsibilities for state militia, Army and Air, to respective Governors to house, fund, train, and equip for periods not performing services in the national interest under Federal call-ups while limiting "Congressional intelligence" and media access to Defense Department strategies, tactics and battlefield events. It should be required that all members of Congress have at least six years military service and 10 years international business experience in other; than law to be qualified to even speak about Administrative policy and private sector governance; unless, of course, they are state paid and then Federal
election law would not apply.
# 6 Provide Universal Healthcare Program funded out of Congressional entitlements without additional burden to private sector taxpayers and employers allowing individuals to choose their providers with government assuring healthcare professionals are paid first; legislating immunity for patients from collection litigation for non-payments through and to HMO's by insurance companies - zero deductions - no co-pay
from taxpaying patients.
# 5 Make good on President Roosevelt's promise that Social Security will not be taxed; remove limitations on earnings for those who meet or exceed 40 credits; eliminate reporting requirements for extended travel, expected earnings, entitlement to private pension and annuities earned through responsible employment, investment and initiative.while reducing government employee benefits to mean average paid by private sector and 50 percent
co-pay.
# 4 Require States to match Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid deposits for benefits to non-taxpaying residents, aliens including Federal and State government paid workers and officials from other than funds generated through private sector income or other excessive penalty taxes upon corporations and small business.
# 3 Enact provisions to allow freedoms afforded under both a Federal and a State Constitution without harassment from pseudo-caring organizations or judiciaries presenting distorted secular ideals not appropriate for "We the People" by limiting national modifications, but allowing state referendums to prevail but disallowing court challenges and class actions exceeding 10 persons/corporations.
# 2 Hold both houses of Congress accountable for cost overruns exceeding balanced budgets and costly amendments not applicable to every Federal taxpaying citizen whether in-country or extended assignments for private or public sector, military or civilian and require the credit, banking industry to report to credit users each and every month their positive and negative credit activities with English translations of how that months purchases and cash advances affect their ability to qualify for large dollar installments loans.
# 1 Enact voting reform that will enable residents within voting districts to elect their representatives based upon community makeup and within established boundaries of communities (precincts, counties, cities over one million population, and States) allowing each a total of one vote refelcting that majority with two votes to cities outside of a designated county; cumulative one-votes of counties and two-votes of cities determine statewide and national elections results that can be verified through three required recounts, first tabulation within 30 minutes of poll closing as well as restricting campaign activities to a six month cycle ending 10 days prior to beginning a multi-day voting period using on-line and computerized polling machines requiring positive ID and unique passwords with third party (privatized - monitored and duplicated reports generated off site)
verification and results reporting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you believe there are more, please enlighten me. It is my belief that Federal coffers should not fund State governments and it is a governor's fiduciary responsibility to report to taxpayers how our money is being used in monthly reports published in major newspapers and through electronic media. In addition, that if a veto is overridden by a legislative branch, those members of that body are held accountable to any fraudulent or misuse of funds as established in the Enron case and penalties given to both Jeffery Skillings and Martha Stewart.

Some how the tally equals that of all those for the last decade. When voter turnout was only 41 percent, the split was 828,xxx and 676,xxx. This election is no different except that over 286,xxx absentee ballots
submitted across the state have not been counted.
Could be interesting when verified. I personally want to get a video of those recants from last night.
We know that count will probably equal just below the reported count that cannot be recounted - why? OOPs! Linda never had a built-in recording feature enabled, or paper trail feature was not specified
in the contract; or poll workers couldn't operate those fail-safe wrong by not transmitting totals of which it was proven could be set to transmit only the first vote without others to follow.
With more than 63 percent of voters going to polls - numbers should be higher, or were much lower in previous elections than reported. A 34 year history will point out that same totals are used for every
election even though Republican registrations exceeded Democratic registrations that reported 88 percent Republican registrations as Democratic lists for many years.
Whatever, there should be a serious investigation at 151 West Street, and if the vote count cannot be recounted - indictments. This goes all the way up to those two final decision-makers who have the power to indict.
That Baltimore group did it again. And, it will be upheld by Justice Bell as Curran's last action before retirement for both.
If the electronic vote count cannot be verified a second time, the vote count should be thrown out and winners determined by absentee verified votes. However, that will only be legitimate if the absentees were turned
in last night and not in a few days.
Richard Daly, Jr. is probably on his way now with duplicates just in case they get lost.

Same 'ole, same 'ole! This was Kerry's pitch in 1973. John Kerry wants respect, yet he has trashed our military since he left college. Most important he twists his failed memory with , "it was a joke
about President Bush's failed policy.
Had Kerry backed the Viet Nam veterans before Congress in 1973 it would not have been a failed action. Had he not turned his swift boat 50 cal. machine gun on an innocent village, he would not be at Captain Calley's
level of patriotism.
In 1973, we couldn't recruit other than high school graduates as our weapons systems required better than average intelligence due to computerization being introduced into our troop level equipment.
In the '80's our volunteers came from the top levels of graduating classes around the nation because of opportunities for leadership, technical training, honor and patriotism. Most re-enlisted several tours not just
for medals and war time thrills or a political motivation.
Yes, John Kerry hasn't changed and he and his rhetoric could defeat America on a global scale. He would sell out his best friend's wife - oh! he did - for his own personal gain.
I now about gaffs in speaking and had it been a joke, he wouldn't have had to explain it in hind sight, "I was referring to President Bush" who has more education, more life, and more patriotism in his middle
finger than John Kerry has for this country.
If it was a joke - it's a bad joke for that Boston crowd and failed Democrats who want Bush policy, but from a Howard Dean!!! What?
O'Malley's hasn't a clue about balancing budgets, creating private sector jobs, creating a tax base to pay governments bills, motivate kids to education instead of street sales, neighborhood refurbishment, infrastructure
maintenance reserves, etc.
In bright contrast, Governor Erhlich does have resolve to accomplish tough objectives even with Tom V. Mike Miller interference in governing. His compassion for people far outweighs Curran legacies and public
dependence upon tax monies.
Here's our most important question: Why does media think voter fraud is perpetrated by machines? In reality, it is election board hierarchy disabling those machines from performing and using their back room
preferential voting scams. It isn't volunteers, poll workers, candidates, or media doing this. It is a small group of state officials knowingly reporting false counts to forward their agenda. And, they've
done for more than 34 years in Maryland.
If there is no voter fraud, we should have results at 11. If they claim absentee ballots distort results from their preference, then those results should have more weight because they can be recounted and
verified. Obviously, that whole Baltimore crowd doesn't want a recount, and their protector is retiring - maybe if son-in-law doesn't elected.
Congress used Jeffery Skillings to set a legal precedence for penalties for actions; i.e.: Elected by share holders ( constituents), lying about state of his company (Congressional hearings); misusing company retirement
funds (Social Security); and embezzling (lobbyist bag lunches).
All you have to look at to reinforce this is a voting record of a career member of congress to see that same pattern coupled with years of campaign finance reports and you have a case.
What is important is that Bob Erhlich did his stint, and moved on. His level of accountability far greater than that of that Baltimore crowd.
Guess Kennedy put his mouth on the wrong horse in Massachusetts. Kennedy never uses his deep pockets. He does certainly try to use ours.
Reactions from other Presidential wannabes in Congress about Kerry will weed them all out.
McCain says, "he's my friend and he needs to apologize to our troops." A Kerry apology always comes with a focused diversion to what he thinks he can get away with saying while his gaffs tell the truth.

You know what's worse than a Corporate felon? A lawyer running to Public Office for immunity who hasn't served in any of seven military services!
Why you ask?
They legally avoided commitment to serve by using lame circumvention of law (Clinton went to Canada). Now, they want you to trust them with our money and our security. Get this they get paid $160,000 per year to
bicker and act stupid every two years or more.
Maryland's Governor race is probably the most sane of all. Even though it is negative, the positive thing is that Martin O'Malley hasn't performed for Baltimore which is a good reason to bail, just don't get your
bail money from the top cop - father-in-law J. Joseph Curran, Jr. He doesn't believe in truth or rule of written law. It seems to trickle down through the family.
This race actually told us what each candidate has accomplished.
Erhlich with economic success, education improving outside of Baltimore, Chesapeake Bay recovering, healthcare has a priority for research, and received an endorsement from the Washington Post - a true accomplishment from
an extremely liberal leaning "rag" (an enduring term used by journalist for newspapers). It is only in Annapolis that "rag" is replaced with "Crab Wrapper" - that only applies when
page numbers are high enough to absorb all those crab juices, you can ask Ed Casey about that).
Then there's O'Malley's record - worst of 50 school systems, worst street crime rate , can't get anyone to investigate that administration - what not? And, corruption at all levels within city government that had to
install a revolving door on City Hall. Don't get me wrong about city workers, most don't have the same opportunities for corruption and are hard workers. Can't anyone figure out how to pave a city street
downtown?
Look, Martin O'Malley is smart enough to tell us how to increase student education, how to build up a larger Police state, and how to increase government structure. He just can't get it done!
I just hope someone else didn't write those spots for him. Matt and Peter know it, but try to ignore it.
With all of Tom V. Mike Miller's fraud and power plays or as they call in on the play ground "hissie fits", he's not "it". "It" being legitimate legislative leader in Annapolis. He
won't be the last "it" either. However, he has been given worst rating for a legislature than any other across our nation. Why do we need him?
What voters need to remember, is Bob Erhlich's real changes in Maryland while fighting abstinence, intimidation, and ignorance from a democratic body of lawmakers filling their campaign coffers while fleecing
Maryland taxpayers with nonsense instead of prudent performance.
It has been a good thing for Democrats to keep bringing up Iraq and "hitting on" President Bush about all those Republicans failing to support a policy of resolve and caring for "We the People."
Inspite of Iraq, every voter should be reminded about stock market heights rather than Clinton lows, gas prices at pumps, even though we all know the President doesn't have anything to do with them unless they go uP! are now down from $3.89 to below $2.00 in many areas and in some just hovering around $2.10. Retail sales are up, new houses down as are prices to buyers on exisiting homes. Judges are rethinking loyalties to aclu fraud, Congress is trying to find ways to sweep their leadership under the table, and Hillary doesn't know any more about Iraq than Nancy Pelosi - "that Iraq policy is working, but it takes Republican leadership resolve."
Voter guides have no help for anyone trying to decide who to vote for 'cause there just aren't too many legitimate candidates to choose from. Those few are already taken. They've become independent, that
by-the-way is what many Democrat and Republican candidates claim as they took party money for smear campaigns, thus taking opportunities away from maybe credible challengers with resolve, experience, and loyalty
to their party leadership.
Who in their "left" mind would want to sling mud in a sandbox to destroy initiative instead of using their right mind proposing initiatives to perhaps strengthen Americans' resolve to be responsible, caring,
and civil? Answer, an aclu card carrying Democrat!
Television is filled with ads that candidates will tell you they didn't want - why are these ads running, because party loyalty is waning due to government's growth and interference with privacy.
Government Should not be our nation's insurance company. it should create a climate for legitimate business, global competitiveness, set leadership examples for all, not just "Free World" nations, and build
alliances not just tolerance which leads to corruption.
We have global issues that need to be addressed. Some say that this planet will lose its ability to feed, cool and provide an atmosphere to breathe by 2050. Not a good prediction and hopefully just a scare
tactic. That's the bad news.
We need to enable proven technologies on this planet to augment our infrastructure from sea to shining sea and beyond with environmentally safe systems that provide services, mobility, and integration into
protecting our living space called Earth.
A lawyer cannot do this. It takes relationships, not contracts or negotiations or judges to bring people together rather than tear them apart in conflict.
Good news is, help is underway - not all future outlooks are dire. I know of two corporations that can functionally turn our planet around using both relationships and technologies.
To be continued 2008.

Subject: Incumbent just isn't a Democrat.
et al.:
Three misperceptions are distorting this year's election.
(1) Middle class abandoning Republicans - or is it that candidates abandoned them for lobbyists?
(2) War in Iraq is only issue being considered - by media who only use those bites because they have video at 6 & 11.
(3) Voting machines are the problem with accurate voting - truth is election officials fixing results from machines through "tampering" (reprogramming or deactivating features that manufacturer provides
for legitimate voter/vote records).
In Maryland and other states, Diebold is being accused of faulty manufacturing when in fact it is state Election boards who have not conducted fair and accurate elections for so many years they are afraid of actual results.
How to prevent an credible election, deny machine operations like verification, redundancy, and visible proof of vote.
One of my companies in Australia developed a deposition voice recorder that created a secure file of original deposition that could not be tampered with unless downloaded to a CD or DVD and modified on another machine.
Tracking included, as do all files created on computers today, date and machine code where file was created and then shows modifications as that file goes from one machine to another. Computers even indicate who
modified those files from login information.
Bet, Linda Lamone's people won't have that opportunity to review that original file before ooops! [Delete]. Sure beats an 18 minute erase!
Kudos to Governor Erhlich for pushing the absentee ballot. Too bad, it wasn't done in our primary where voters had no chance to choose their candidates.
Just one more point - comparing Democratic rhetoric from Dean and Pelosi with fact is like reading one of Bidens plagiarized reports. Nancy, a Baltimorean, stands up to say she respects the office of
President. Incumbent just isn't a Democrat.
That is just not enough of a reason to vote for Dems instead of Republicans.

Poor precedent that is greatly needed to level a playing field as public sector destroys private sector.
Yesterday news media reported that Jeffery Skillings received a 24 year sentence in the Enron scheme for fraudulently taking money from the company, lying about his company's worth, that thousands of employees lost their jobs
when their share values dropped, and retirement funds were lost to stock market failures.
He must, according to his judge, payback $18 Million from his personal funds and because Ken Lay died. Skillings must make up what Lay would've been charged to repay up to $185 Million.
There is hope for taxpayers, though - a precedent has been set by that judge that will transfer to our public sector - Skillings actions mirror those of a Congressman.
He was elected by shareholders, acted upon those people's business, allegedly skimmed off money, and is blamed for mismanagement of his companies financial interests that resulted in lower prices, lost jobs, and misused
pension plan funds.
Let's see, Congress has..... Way to similar for comparison. Where's that judge?
Skilling, indicted by Congress Embroiled by media. Voters (shareholders) put him there. Justice sentenced him for performing like a member of Congress, hmmmm!
I'll bet Enron was supported by a lot of Congressmen from its government contracts- aren't they all suspect for fraud, receiving illegal contributions as accessories?
Does it really matter whom we vote for? In private sector we get penalized, it public sector they get away with it!
What's good about this is: "A precedent has been set!"

Only in America will an election be determined by weird sex, arguments for, not against, illegal behavior, and fraudulent ethics by "leaders(?)" in two of our three branches of government.
What a legacy this early into our 21st Century? Is there no resolve to be legitimate?
Media celebrity is also touted. Missing is substance.
So, kids, "brains aren't necessary to be a politician" if you can clean up, lose weight, look like a Republican, and sound like you're against everything American including what future "Americans" who
founded this country believed in; you may think you've got a future in politics.
Just listen to those seeking Presidential nominations.
Kerry is selling old news without taking a breath trying to overcome his history by blaming others for his atrocities. Clinton is hoping for something to stick on a wall instead of a blue dress. McCain
has waffled on his own positions. Allen got off script. Al those others, once considered, are being diminished 'cause their 15 minutes are up.
More political incorrectness is better for appearances, but respect for others, being responsible for self, family, and friends, lawful and trustworthy seems to be detrimental to those in present politics.
I just love those ads in all states where incumbents ask us to vote for them based upon their records. Scrutinizing most of those records shows they really didn't vote our interests or encourage spending our money
wisely. So, YES, vote on their records. Vote for the challenger.
If primary votes counted, that was our time to replace incumbents with challengers. Both parties thought protecting their bad decisions earlier "had to stay the course". What we don't need is
changing party seats now - Congress cannot handle constructive governing.
Every wannbe candidate for President doesn't stand behind his/her record except very far back ,hoping upon hope, you won't find out how and what they believe in. It takes their breath away while denying
inquiries.
Personally, having Congress pick apart administration policy, budgets, and resolve is backwards. Our process should be administration setting guidelines for policy, percentages for obligations, and provide a role
model for leadership (being done in part)
It is, then, Congress' responsibility to present a budget based upon what is required, what is available, and what is necessary before submitting for The President's approval. If not within
National Interests, then it should be rejected with constructive modifications and given back to Congress to resolve it for signature.
Unfortunately, Congress over our last seven decades hasn't shown any ability to make hard decisions on fiscal responsibility or restraint from re-election intimidation. What they do is ask for Presidential
guidance of which they ignore issues and counter with "pork" (not mid-western livestock) ((being done)? Many members cannot live without that "pork"!
Obviously, they don't need those Federal salaries and perks and returning them back to states' funding would probably cut the "fat" and return entitlements to their electorates ( in this context, those who elect
them pay for them).
A major question has to be - "Why do voters keep electing them?" Answer is - we don't!
Until recently, voter and vote count was assumed. In most cases, preferential - no voter ID, no proof of citizenship, no votes counted, no possibility to ratify. Need that purple
middle-finger imprint, too!
Ah! Computers... online voting can accomplish all of that just as well and almost instaneously. It works for banking.
See, Richard Daley, Sr. in 1960 Chicago proved even paper ballots can be untruthful if you substitute pre-stuffed ballot boxes. He set a wrong standard in American politics that has manifested
itself for close to 34 years across this nation.
Current technology can do it faster - Internet security is tighter today than even five months ago. Intra-nets within state governments maybe not as secure because it is breeched by those who should be accountable.
Did you know it takes more effort to overcome computer legitimacy than it does manual accountability? That's why they cannot get a system operational - their way. It was designed to be fraudulent by hired
guns for $23 Million.
It has taken more than 200 years to get government this corrupted and misguided. About the lifetime of every preceding democracy. We're at a breaking point, maybe we get resolve and principle back into our
lexicon.
In some communities you can't even be "it" because someone else won't be. As Bill Weir of ABC's "Weekend GMA" noted - how would you feel to be "it" the rest of your life
because you legally cannot tag another.
On your other hand, there are many out there that want to be "it"; but have no idea of what "it" is - they think our office of President is "it" and that "it" takes no
experience, knowledge or resolve as long as you get someone without principles to tag you.
I never realized while in elementary school that playing "It" during recess was that much more important and threatening than getting "A's"and/or having good work ethics with credible experiences.
Is "it" only in America or are we making sure "it" is everywhere?
Not to be intimidating, but you're not "it", yet!.
Unfortunately, "It" today is cowardice, fraud, and scandal being broadcast around the world faster than you can decide to vote for "it".
In 2008, "it" will be a whole lot more accountability, responsibility, integrity, and legitimacy required to be an experienced, principled member of any one of our three branches of government. Mark my words
on "it": 22 October 2006.

From: GZarwell [mailto:1gzarwell@ccconline.net] et al.: However, I received my absentee ballot today with bi-lingual information in favor of Spanish when in fact there are other such designated languages to be included in certain
districts and counties. Not to mention that interference with your "Right to Vote" cannot be violated. I learned this information from Federal Election Commission, who said they don't deal with state voting, Federal voter Assistance Commission who has no jurisdiction, and
with Department of Justice that is concerned and will look into Maryland's current dysfunctional Election Board and get back to me if they want to pursue litigation of fraud. It was pointed out that jurisdiction is within purview of the U.S. Attorney for Maryland and Public Integrity office of Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal
division. I've pursued other matters with these offices to learn that Maryland's Attorneys General seems to be immune from responsibilities to pursue these issues only because he
perpetrates them with Chief Justice Robert M. Bell and down the ladder I identified previously. How can he as top cop be challenged? After all; nobody will notice until it's too late. By the way there are parameters for bi-lingual ballots and those are generally for counties and voting districts in California, Texas and Arizona. My unbiased opinion
is that Maryland Dems decided that since they tie all Republicans to resisting Illegal immigration rights, that perhaps printing Spanish language entries on our ballots will return more democratic votes due to a high
interest level of thinking illegal immigration is a right. Trust me, legal immigration is something you have to desire and want badly. With it comes to responsibility, accountability, and allegiance; plus a requirement to learn
English. President Franklin Roosevelt not only created Social Security that would never be taxed, he also requested that the majority minority (German) become a second language in
the United States. That bill was defeated just before events in Pear Harbor. Serious problem is that if a heavy Hispanic vote is recorded and determined to be a deciding factor, then each of those ballots has to be provisional until U.S. citizenship
can be proven; thus rendering them invalid or unavailable for inclusion within a reasonable time. This is not just for Hispanics but for all non-citizens regardless of ethnic origin and even those who do read and speak English. I will "Vote por Uno" Gobernador / Vice Gobernador; Contralor; and Senador de ee. uu. - I zee Kevin Zeese "en la papeleta electoral oficial." You can also write in your choice if no real choice is presented. This will be interesting - two weeks from now. Can someone explain to me why I am getting hundreds of emails asking me why I believe my entrepreneur background and global experience makes me a viable candidate for
Comptroller? Here's my answer to one such email: Gene: How does all your global corporate and entrepenural experience translate into being a watchdog for the Maryland taxpayers money? Nancy I've helped grow financial stability in several economies for businesses on three continents over 34 years. I've experienced fraud and deceit wasting taxpayer
resources on frivolous and illegal entities for greed at taxpayer expense. For several corporations I helped relocate their operations to more favorable economic climates including keeping prices down by lowering production costs - holding wages
down to value produced, automation, and rejecting excessive handouts. For government, I created multimillion dollar budgets, managed them within 98 percent of obligation, while saving billions of dollars in fraud, abuse, and
overcharging by government contractors within NASA, Army, Defense, and Commerce Departments. For Industry, I created employee motivation packages to assure pay for work performed was compatible with local economies. Other than that, I really don't want to be Maryland's watchdog; and it appears Marylander's don't either. I want each individual to take on that responsibility so mums, dads, and offspring can enjoy similar gratifications for working hard, low prices for goods and services,
knowing their hard earned money can be taken away in a heartbeat by politicians or Identity theft that abuses their opportunity to "pursue health and happiness". For them to do this, they must know where to look; i.e.: if you pay taxes with tax money, there is no money to pay for common services; unless others who pay taxes from hard
work pay more than their share to cover those expenses in addition to paying for tax-paid taxes (government employee rebates to government). I know this from experience as well as 22 years of research, many years writing policy and regulations for various agencies; Continuing Education programs for state
regulators, and receiving favorable judgments in every level of court in America - case number 12 is pending default and summary. I don't want others to have to risk all to ask for accountability or fear reprisals for taking an interest. In brief, role of Comptroller is to collect taxes, advise Governor and Legislature on State's financial profile, worth and needs; a position requiring strategic and
tactical planning to keep taxpayer dollars from abuse and to grow the economy through capital incentives that will encourage new businesses and corporations to locate and build jobs within Maryland. The latter has be in opposite direction since late 1960's with major corporations relocating in Mexico, as well as states with more favorable wage allowances and tax
incentives to let them recover from relocation and rehiring costs. http://www.comp.state.md.us/main/about_the_comptroller/about_com/duties.asp This paragraph from that link is most important and diminished because of its power to essentially regulate Governor budgets and
legislative spending. Schaefer was an excellent politician, but was more of an advisor to Governor Erhlich pushing for his love of gaming instead of developing controls over
legislative misspending. He was too close to all involved to regulate. Not his fault, but a weakness capitalized upon by Senate President Miller and Speaker Delegate Michael Busch. Maryland power rested in Curran's capacity to seek retribution through fraudulent law suits against businesses reluctant to kickbacks and payoffs enforced
through Court of Appeals Chief Justice Robert Bell resulting in unfavorable judgments against corporations and businesses forcing them to shut down, relocate or just reorganize elsewhere. State Government grew faster than comparable jobs in private sector and wages in private sector averaged less than public sector jobs that had excessive benefits.
Governments then demanded living wages in private sector, mandated benefits and raised taxes because public sector became more expensive thus government services became fees and private sector production more expensive
raising prices and ultimately producing their products elsewhere not needing skilled workers here in Maryland. Reality in Maryland is that most businesses depend upon government contracts to be successful or their services are supported by public sector retail spending - more
snow days year 'round. Hope this helps. Gene visit my website: www.gzarwell.com |

Hillary may not be able to thwart Gore who is more credible than either she or Kerry who wants a second chance. Tell 'em to get on a swift boat to .... I don't need to tell where, do I?
Talk is that Obama should run. Risky at best for him. Let Gore tear down Hillary. Obama's got plenty of time to gain some experience, perhaps like Princes William and Harry, he should enroll in some
military training to understand what to do in 2009 when Maryland shores are invaded - we're the entry point to Washington D.C. Awe, he's from Illinois- safe spot.
He needs to go through the process of staffing, life and death responsibilities, requiring more than one option to resolve an issue, and learn to build consensus to debate from resolve instead of emotion.
I note Maryland newspapers say O'Malley isn't credible, but Washington newspapers say he is. Can you imagine how bad those other four must be if O'Malley is rated... must be Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, and Podunk.
See, I knew his father-in-law had influence in the District. Washington sells news space 'cause its credibility is in question thanks to all those authors selling fiction and Dan Rather's expose' on fraudulent news.
Statistics are fun numbers since you can take a crime report and just report on one kind of crime instead of all of them or vice versa. Guess there is no truth to numbers. Lets blame them for all this negativism
that is worse than road rage.
Dems are doing a great job tying Republicans back to their roots. I'm not so sure voters will ignore accomplishments of George W. Bush in favor of "knocking down American resolve" advertising. Not one
Dem ad talks about a real issue, just perceived emotional nonsense.
I just wish Republicans candidates could remain neutral and friendly like Steele. That's how I trained executives in media and other candidates for years. Never, ever dignify the opponent. Let him destroy
his message talking tripe and trash while trifling. Kills their momentum every time.
What that tactic shows is that there is no substance in their plan and they have no vision except to destroy our policy makers for cash and carry dumpster trips.
We have, on one hand, Democrats saying we should "cut and run", that "W's" resolve isn't working their way. Kerry can turn a swift boat into an innocent village and shoot a 50 cal. machine
gun; while UN keeps asking us to make them credible as various charities beg President Bush to take on all the world's problems with our money.
Doesn't make sense.
N. Korea has been able to form an instant coalition for us (U.S.) by blowing up a mine shaft with a faulty nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, I think it triggered some "earth quake" activity along the Pacific
Rim. Hope it's not destabilizing.
It was certainly more immediate and effective than Clinton's policy that even his wife can't sell. What was all that brown nosing up to Bush 41 for - get inside information and trust from "W"?
Reminds me of that collegiate drinking at a bar alone and trying to get attention for bumbling his athleticism. You know that guy. He was always bragging about what he thought he accomplished, but really
couldn't remember who he had sex with - he became a former President. Never served in our military except as its Commander in Chief without resolve, never secured his Rhoads Scholar status. Never invited to a
global conference with other nation's leaders. He never slept with that woman. Oops!
I was going to stop writing, but another Dem ad came on explaining that George Allen is lying about Jim Web. You know neither one of them has offered any hope to anything and don't admit what they stand for.
Besides, how would Howard Dean know if Allen was lying? Jim Web certainly didn't know.
And, I thought we in Maryland had a difficult decision. Our statewide candidates for Governor and Senate at least have some semblance of class. You know if Curran is investigating Erhlich's campaign tactics, his
son-in-law doesn't have the votes.
He shouldn't have. There are confirmed more Republicans in Maryland than Democrats as it has been for 34 years. Within two generations there will be 45 percent fewer democrats born than Republicans.
Steele should thank Ben Cardin for reminding voters that is was Republicans that wanted to keep Social Security viable, increase Medicaid while reforming HMO's and Medicare., keep terrorists off our soil, and because we
didn't go it alone with N. Korea, its Asian neighbors didn't sit back and wait for us to fight their battles. They did ask for stronger sanctions than did our negotiators - Condoleezza Rice and John Bolton.
And, O'Malley's ads telling us how Governor Erhlich tried to save private sector businesses from leaving our state were probably telling us how bad it is to encourage private sector - go figur!
It seems those dems have it backwards. First you need employers who hire employees who pay income taxes and sales taxes with profits before you can give out benefits, and if you ask for too much, you get nothing
because prices go up and people don't spend, then companies quit..
See it their way - Dems want more taxes first, then they think employers will come here to give their profits to Curran's thieves.
I just wish our votes were counted when I was running.

Send this to as many voters you have time for. If you see it in Coffeetalks, several million will understand how to help their state reform its voting procedures- FEC couldn't figure it out - Congress didn't
want to figure it out! Over 300 million helped reduce gas prices in less than four months from when Tom and I sent out the message to not buy big corporate gas. Prices went dropped from $3.89 to under $2.00 in

Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2006 To: CoffeeTalks Subject: ...and a Yak! et al.:
Six months ago, some Maryland officials, you know their names, thought they would never be caught. Their patterns haven't changed, or their numbers of total votes.
This tells me that since 1988, my supporters have been disenfranchised as Maryland voters. This also means that those elected during that period, and many years before, as far back as 1980, other
challengers have been screwed, too!
Those in office after J. Joseph Curran, Paul Sarbanes, and Barbara Mikulski replaced Republicans Mac Mathias and Glen Beall bringing with them Tom V. Mike Miller who for many years allegedly won elections in a predominantly
Republican County and others like Justice Bell appointed into public office have fraudulently disenfranchised all candidates through their preferential voting tactics, illegal in America, and their denials of verified
election ballot recounts.
For me, that represents 22 years of salary potential at an average of $160,000 per year or $3,52 Million base plus 22 years of healthcare, sick pay, vacation pay and tenure in Congressional retirement, or about $4.7 Million in
benefits negating any graft or non-taxable bag lunches from lobbyists.
Now, figuring average campaign costs from candidates and supporters runs from $500,000 to more than $3 million, we can add an average let's say of $430,000 per each of seven campaigns for an average run or a total of $3.01
million.
Figure local races cost much less but around $50,000 for each of those candidates. There are several who have run more than once as did perennial Ross Pierpont who died, defaulting that title to me. Most of
those losing to fraud were in state-wide elections or Baltimore city/county, Montgomery and Prince George's counties where statewide counts could be adjusted to preferences by Curran's team at 151 West Street, previously at
Annapolis National Guard Armory building replaced by the exorbitant Tom V. Mike Miller palace behind Louis Goldstein's Building built by Lord Calvert, probably).
Now, consider a class action suit including all these candidates and voters who were taken. Add to that a lawyer or team of lawyers who wouldn't charge less than $5 billion to pursue this case with viga' (head lawyer
would be from Boston).
In reality, let's consider Maryland Election officials recommended resolution: Today, they announced they want a machine manufacturer to print 1 million absentee ballots listing candidates that votes couldn't be verified by 3
percent of registered voters who showed up and couldn't cast a ballot.
For 34 years, Maryland's Election Board reported more than 2.5 million votes cast in a primary having low voter turnouts around 10-18 percent; general election vote totals between 3-4.7 million with 28-33 percent
turn-out. Total population is around 5.7 million and a percentage are not old enough to vote, but could count them.
With those statistics they need about 7 million ballots that should be sent automatically to registered voters with complete information of their registration for verification of Party and status (Living, dead,
incarcerated, living in foreign country, other state, etc.) that can be used to confirm general election results. Two million ballots will come back unconfirmed due to status "Deceased, felon, no longer a
resident, illegal alien, just visiting to vote, etc."
Those six years olds I trust will take several months if not years to go through all ballots just because of limited vocabulary and confusion over geography. They can handle vote counts 'cause there should only
be one per designation and maybe up to four in judicial or multiple party delegate elections. It's not too hard to see a check mark after one of two names. Granted it gets more difficult if there are three.
I'm actually asking these kids to do more than ever accomplished by "The Board." Child's play basically. Teaches them accuracy, honesty, integrity, teamwork and trust all to accomplish a
constitutional task for "We The People" - good future resume entry.
For that, we should give each of them full paid college scholarships at institutions of their choice around the globe from all those funds we recapture from fraudulent elected officials and appointed accomplices.
Maryland voters have been disenfranchised for all these years; taken for fools by those collecting big salaries and perks who are trying again to cover up their fraud by blaming a machine company.
They're probably sitting around a conference table agreeing they have this under control and proud to have ordered a percentage of ballots to be printed. In the past they only needed two to give one to media and
one to file. One at head of table probably even asked for Irish Cream/French Vanilla in her coffee.
The fraud is at 151 West Street in Annapolis where election officials want very little scrutiny into their lack of records and voter verifications. I would bet they would hire Fawn Hall in a heartbeat and probably
have tried removing their files for several weeks. Their shredder probably burned up after September's vote, not from that vote count, but 34 years of files.
One million ballots will get near one-fourth of their previously reported numbers in a general election for unverified designated "pinch hitters" (a sports term for desired substitutes). Primary elections
need 2.5 million paper ballots according to their records - yet, none could be verified through polling machines, host computers or main frame 'cause no one hooked them up.
It took the committee almost two days to reduce numbers to make them appear believable and were still way over-counted compared to actual attempts to vote.
Massive resignations will not give them immunity and those packing for their move to Florida should reconsider - maybe Alaska or Siberia (I can get them such a dill and a Yak!).
Let's not let them get away with this again.

This seasons political messages seem to be getting closer to a truth than ever before. There are more candidates trying to hold their opponents accountable. Will there be a truce before November 12?
Now, its our turn to assure that happens. Any vote count that cannot be verified with substantiated proof of voter participation should be rejected by "We the People".
Any vote patterns that appear fraudulent should be questioned and as Tom Davis (Northern Virginia Congressional Candidate) picked up from CoffeeTalks; hold those corrupted office holders accountable and withhold their
pay, benefits, and retirements. I would go further and throw them in jail for impersonating a Congress"person" at our expense.
It appears Martin O'Malley's writers are intimidated by fact, thus producing spots attesting to a stretched disclosure that his crime record has been reported to FBI - so what? - and that state police have those same
numbers - again ....? Time magazine rated O'Malley several months after taking office - not last week after his education report showed Baltimore and Maryland number 50 out of 50.
Heck, I reported his father-in-laws crimes to FBI agents and Judges in Maryland's courts and "it wasn't in Maryland's best interest". Wanna bet on that?
There is no reliability from that family relationship. That is one dynasty that needs to go.
From my experience with Maryland's top cop, he has no scruples regarding truth as recorded by his own court reporters. His office has even removed documents from "The Records" and replaced
them with different documents or even substitutions of case materials referencing different circumstances than those presented to each level of court in Maryland's judiciary.
Sound confusing. They count on that and have counted on that for 34 years implementing voter fraud. It is legally termed - "Fraud on the Court". A very, very serious Federal felony offense that
is overlooked by just about every American judiciary - or they rout out those who would hold defendants accountable.
Think about it. Not too many candidates try multiple campaigns. Far less perennial candidates than one-timers. My goal since 1992 was to learn how Maryland voter fraud was implemented. In that
process, I learned nine other states had similar problems and those, too, became visible after I not only reported it to Linda Lamone, but through Mary made sure they knew it was an issue this year.
And, have probably written about it to death. This is our constitutional right - "to vote" - and they took it away for personal gain. Love those lawyers / lobbyists.
It is hard to get a Maryland Judge or one appointed to a Federal court through recommendations from J. Joseph Curran, Jr. to rule on, for a number of reasons, violations of any semblance of unethical performance of
Maryland public officials. They hide behind "sovereign immunity" which does not apply outside of official duties according to Maryland's Constitution.
If we accept any unverified vote count, then shame on us!
I'm proud of the 46,000 Republicans in Prince George's county who this week have requested absentee ballots. It's too bad, the county has trouble trying to print them in time or even count them.
Truthfully, I don't care if it takes them until January 21st to count them. It didn't bother Al Gore in 2000. It didn't bother Bill Clinton or Hillary 'cause they didn't have to transition in the Bushes.
How interesting that is now that they claim they left detailed procedures, policy and guidance for them without explanation or briefings. White Water all over again.
How lame!

Something is amiss in this election cycle.
That something is letting media reporters and anchors set discussions on issues that have neither an effect on global positioning nor family life in local areas. Polling sleaze and stating it is important for global
decisions is a reach even for network news.
Just because media is fascinated by bringing down a sexual predator, there are more of them in media than in Congress. As long as Democrats fuel that issue from afar - Howard Dean's sleaze machine - democrats feel
they are out of that fray.
Note: they don't get out to defend Clinton's sexual abuses nor orientation.
They don't put their Barney on a pedestal like our Miss Beasley does hers.
Republican candidates have no business answering to media any inquiries into Mark Foley's personal or professional problems. There are on-going investigations beyond "who knew when and what they knew".
This has no political value except to create lawyer speak for mistrial and or jury pandering to sell media advertising.
Candidates should be telling us how they will restore honor in our Congress rather than continue their assault on their "club members". Perhaps they should all get "The Black Ball".
Unfortunately, we can't tell anymore, who is a Republican or whom is a Democrat, because if candidates can't win in their party primary they change or become Independent to win.
How they will create fraud and secure lobbyist dollars always remains to be seen.
There is no protocol, etiquette, requirement or courtesy to answer media bait to sell newspaper advertising, television spots, or direct mail pieces selling aclu behavior as politically correct. If we don't
want people to behave like Mark Foley, don't sell it.
Media in its complicity says they don't want that behavior, but they sell it like whores. Now, they're even being challenged by Internet gurus who have no ethical, moral, or responsibility to serve our public interest
- just greed and more greed for Billions of dollars, but not one cent profit.

There has been talk about increasing Iraqi insurgencies. Why do we promote them through news? Most insurgencies are to keep al-Qaeda visible in Western media reports. Stop the presses and video at 6
and 11, and you will stop insurgencies. If its a sectarian attack, it has nothing to do with American media. Isolating al-Qaeda news to their market will also deter those attacks.
Keep retired Generals retired and off air so they cannot defend insurgents. Our enemies have rallies every time they get a report telling them they are winning - thanks to national media outlets with global
reach. Why are our pseudo-leaders giving them that credit.
Guerilla warfare cannot be won with technology alone. Reducing visibility of American troops can. If they don't know how many are there, at what locations, and how we can GPS track insurgents, then they will go
where they can get more "free publicity" for their recruiting.
Patience in war -- is how you win! You wait for your enemy to feel safe and free to move about - then strike with one shot instead of thirty rounds. A moving target is hard to hit unless it comes to you.
We need to quit inviting them to fight and let them make those mortal mistakes.
You know if you put a cookie jar out under a tree. Kids and squirrels will come. What do insurgents want. Cameras will long lenses and network tags for evening and global news.
I hate to say, we need to put our media out front to draw them in. Could it be risky? Yes, but not for our soldiers.

Note: Ben Cardin has it all wrong. He stands not for everything 85 percent of Americans believe in. Mike Steele may not admit to loving George Bush, but his loyalty to principles and values regardless of
his ineptitude to organize is far better than Ben Cardin's emotional rhetoric of how powerfully wrong he is, then a dumb smile!
O'Malley got caught with phony statistics - must'a got it from his in-laws. Suggestion, to make education affordable, you cut costs, not freeze them and increase scholarships. Did Martin really think he'd

All this gamesmanship about who knew what and when? What's the point?
We all knew before Clinton was elected to his first time that he had affairs within his Arkansas Governor's office with several women. When did Hillary know?
We know she knew before they occupied The White House and yet, Democrats embraced them twice - He "did not have sex with that woman", just a redefinition of what all high school kids now practice without their
parents knowing.
How did they know about it - news reports at meal time - 'round the clock - to where television was no longer a safe entertainment source for teenagers.
When did George Stephanopoulos know about his boss? 1996 as he left public service.
Did it bother him that he got Clinton his office? No. He mentioned leaving in less than five words when challenged about where Congressional or public servants behavior is condoned.
Arguments for and against Foley's departure and how it is being handled depends upon party not morality, not abuse, but how many other people should be dragged into it for emotional political rhetoric? The Answer is
none, unless Hillary gets a pass on Bill and George Stephanopoulos continues in his pious position as a "credible Washington Correspondent, who knew, but didn't tell.
This whole issue is a none issue and speaks quite loudly about Congress running amuck.
It's nice we don't keep this private so all those other nations can witness America's morality, faithfulness, freedom to speak and do as aclu would like.
Will Communism surface here? I hope not, but with so many other cultures entering our political and historical destruction, it will be hard to tell it is coming unless we have a voice.
Our voice is in our elections!
I read an editorial saying that poll workers are at fault. This was in the "Bowie Blade".
Look, the machines if left alone will work. That is not our problem. Our problem is blocking those machines from operating properly. They do not have an interface to record total voters participating.
They do not have active links to what voters vote for. What they have is an exercise for voters to see how to touch a screen with hope their voice was heard.
Curran and his followers don't want that to happen.
Our best bet would be to have a complete neutral team of consultants come in and run our voting process. Funding should come from both parties in equal amounts. No Marylander's officials; no Maryland elected or
appointed shills.
Who would I recommend? Elementary students at random from every school in the state to represent their community. Problem with that is teacher influence could persuade them to cheat in their count as they
teach them to do that with their annual progress in national tests.
At least with elementary school level, those kids are very eager to be truthful and have not had much exposure to fraud. Well, maybe getting cookies out of a jar and asking dad who defers to mom for permission to eat
a cookie before dinner.
Sad, isn't it? But, they will inherit this mess in less years than a Senatorial term. So, let's let them assure they will have an honest election instead of Tom V. Mike Miller's preferences, concurred by Curran,
Bell, Mikulski, Sarbanes, and Wynn? Wynn? Is he off drugs and living back at home?
It's really too bad Curran got rid of Duncan, he would have lost, but fairly! |

6. You may have to pay... Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Wed Oct 4, 2006 1:44 pm (PDT) et al.: Is this year's election campaigning for real? In 64 years, I've never seen as much nonsense from leaders accusing each other of gutter activity. Dems say they want to know Steele's positions before he is even exposed to their income streams. Ben Cardin is so anti-American, he tries to say he's in touch with his actors looking bored in his spots. I haven't seen anyone that bored since Paul Sarbanes was elected. O'Malley's fix on high cost of education is to freeze tuition. I thought it would be to reduce overhead and celebrity salaries, reduce staff, and seek lowest bidders for privatization of support services. My mistake. What can you expect when he increases costs for Baltimore with five, count them, five under mayors to do less than The Honorable William Donald Schaefer did when he crated an inner harbor culture and built cash cows from sports enthusiasm. We have Democrats in Congress calling for all Republicans to run away from office because of Mark Foley's horrendous behavior. Dems ask when did leadership know and what did they know? About the same time Bill Clinton denied having an affair and his wife had girl friends of her own. Look, morality in official Maryland is questionable and is only used to smear candidates and enemies of J. Joseph Curran, Judge Bell - you know the rest of them. Marylanders have elected them time and time again. Wall Street Journal reports recently indicate that Maryland's legislatures ranks at a pinnacle of all fifty states in corruption, faulty policy, inability to support state needs, and in lobbyist contributions - must be the water in Annapolis - too many "power bloats" amongst the sailors. Seriously, you need to consider applying for your absentee ballot this week. You can phone your county election office to request a Republican ballot or download the form and mail it to them. When a Democratic ballot arrives hang on to it, but phone or write to remind them you requested a Republican ballot. Also, go to a FedEx Kinko's, post office, police station, Parcel Plus, UPS store, or office Depot/staples to imprint your middle finger on the back of your ballot and your return envelope to announce to those at 151 West Street that you are serious about your right and obligation to vote; and you want it counted. "course this will delay counting votes beyond 8:30 pm and media will give up reporting at mid-night, but think about accountability and actual votes instead of virtual non- recorded preferences of those who are p.... in their pants about how can they get their Democrats elected if they cannot confirm their 34 year old ratio. I would rather have an opinioned challenger go to Congress than one with an agenda paid for by special interests, are misguided by influence, and talk trash about America for all the world to hear demonstrating how immature our so called Congress is. Why can't Congress keep a secret? Why don't they get cooperation on sensitive issues? "Cause they can't keep a secret? They abuse their oath of office and are outside of those very laws they impose upon all others unless it's convenient to hold one of the opposite party accountable while all the others run for cover. Laws referenced include: Treason Article XIV section 3. (No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United Sates, or any state, who having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State , to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against same, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof.), fraud (Lobbyist gifts of any amount), abuse of power, ethics, Hatch Act, and use of false testimony illegal search and seizure in campaign ads, etc). I guess we need to clean house on both sides of our Capitol and State house. It would be the right thing to do. Maryland , an original colony should be a model of democracy not a butt of jokes or headlined for corruption and failure to legislate for "We the People." I'm sorry to see hear that Steele's ID was compromised by Ben Cardin - just proves that Cardin is in J. J.'s mafia as suspected. You can learn more about J.J.'s corruption by requesting a copy of a 9-11-2006 motion in Baltimore's Federal District Court; case: WMN-05-1938 from Judge Nickerson. You may have to pay for that document. Gene www.gzarwell.com |

et al.:
Today, Tom and Linda show goes public as they announced a voter machine test at BWI's Marriott hotel. Great!
They will demonstrate how a voter machine works when a voter touches a button on a screen.
What will not be demonstrated is how they correlate those touches with back room politics at 151 West Street on November 7th.
I would ask Governor Erhlich to allow everyone interested in voter counts be invited to participate that night at 151 West Street from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm because if the system works, total vote count should be available no
later than 8:30 pm with corruption to follow.
Estimated attendance should be close to 2.8 million Marylanders wanting to know if their votes counted. Anything less is invalid. Guess what?
Perhaps, we can have a crystal voting machine drop from atop that building at 9:00 pm designating a winner. One red for Republicans and one blue for Democrats. Count the pieces and decide the vote.
Dave lettermen can also drop one in New York from atop the old Ed Sullivan Theatre; unfortunately he tapes at 5:00 pm. Maybe he could drop it on Wednesday ceremoniously honoring our Governor.
Now, lets analyze candidate messages:
Both Governor candidates come from Baltimore - no real experience with hard working Marylanders paying the State's bills. Erhlich seems to want to encourage citizens to participate in their life decisions and O'Malley
wants government to do that for them; i.e.: ads telling us that Erhlich's increase in cost of education of 40% is unrealistic, unless you meet costs of government run education where professors demand executive living
wages (Glendennings $300,000) for their contributions to society.
O'Malley wants Maryland private sector workers to pay for everyone's education in college since they don't learn enough from public schools to pass an International quiz. That means college is merely remedial and kids don't
have to invest in their futures.
Studies show that higher education students that are responsible for paying, yes paying through part-time jobs, earning performance scholarships from private companies, get higher grades because they want to succeed.
Those who go without any personal commitment, but have everything paid for by family or government usually party hardy for four years without achieving knowledge except as with Kennedy's, how to use a golf club for other
than golf.
Hollywood never shows hard working students, only party hardies. There is no role model in society to make kids want to study and benefit from college, which does not really prepare them for anything but alternative
life styles and liberal ideals for failure and dependency.
Do you think that may have happened at The Ford Motor company?
Senate candidates are very concerned about puppies. I like puppies. too. That idea is about as much of a mentality that institution can accommodate. Most have no experience other than holding
their hand out - I see likely candidates every day as I drive through Maryland's intersections.
Cardin thinks and approves messages about not supporting our President in governing this nation, but he does say that Steele does. If Steele says nothing else, he could win. If he debates and waffles - who
knows?
Steele says he understands Washington democrap, but from Internet reports: he cannot construct a sentence supporting an opinion on an issue, but at least he doesn't claim something he's not.
Neither democratic candidate for Governor nor Senate have talked about building jobs in our private sector, but they have knocked incumbent strategies to make it easier for corporations to create those revenue streams for
Maryland families. It seems both O'Malley, sponsored by his father-in-law's mafia, and Cardin, sponsored by Howard Dean, believe whole heartedly that jobs come from government or don't need to come from
government as long as other Maryland workers, Republicans, pay enough taxes to keep their constituents government dependent.
Getting back to election night news. If by 9:00 pm you hear that O'Malley and Cardin are leading, it probably isn't true since Republicans actually out number Democrats when looking carefully at voter registrations.
If they only report Baltimore, Montgomery County and Prince George's county votes, then there is suspicion as to projected final tally by Wednesday noon. It seems in those three counties and the city, Republicans
have already cast their votes before getting to their assigned polling place - how early is early voting one-week, one day, from 7-9 am? OR, is it done the Chicago way - after polls close and machines taking to
storage with virtually untouched machines opened for counting.
Truthfully, a formula that has been used for 34 years will probably be applied again; 2/3rds for Democrats and 1/3rd for Republicans. It matters not how many actually voted, they use about 2 million voters as a
base in General elections and 750,000 in primaries. Actual voter participation is a percentage of those figures as apathy surfaces more each year.
If 151 West Street cannot produce a paper print out within minutes of closing showing by precinct vote counts against numbers of voters showing ID, I suggested many forms of ID last week, then there has been no election,
just entertainment for those who think Curran, Bell, Miller, Sarbanes, and Mikulski are better with preferential voting tactics than is our electorate.
I've surfaced how it works at no cost to taxpayers, and with great support from voters who thought their votes counted in my seven campaigns.
Coming soon, a Grand Jury, if they have the guts to attack 34 years of voter fraud. I wouldn't suggest holding your breath. It has to be a State Grand Jury.

et al.:
Listening to campaign rhetoric from former Democratic Presidents got me thinking about what I remember of those Presidents in office as I lived this far in my life.
Here goes:
Truman (D) - dropped the Atomic Bomb on Japan annihilating a culture.
Eisenhower (R) - was non descript wanting to avoid another World War.
Kennedy (D) - invaded the Bay of pigs after learning the nuclear weapons were empty canisters.
Johnson (D) - perpetuated a War in Viet Nam without supporting our troops.
Nixon (R) - ended our troop involvement in Viet Nam and was impeached for recording events and conversations in his Oval Office shortly after I turned down a role with his V.P. Agnew.
Ford (R) - pardoned Mr. Nixon and played golf poorly and I turned down a job after Gerard Terhorst resigned.
Carter (D) - spent four years looking out a window from his Oval Office and turned off Water in DC as well as electricity hoping hostages would be returned before he turned of The White House lights.
Reagan (R) - recreated some dignity in Washington with pomp and circumstance attempted to reign in terrorists with eyes on America , but got caught in controversy , and I turned down an assignment to work
with Ollie North - however, lesson learned was from Fawn Hall - shredding.
Bush (41) (R) - took action in middle east to contain and safe guard world oil, exercise our military doctrine to thwart Balkan invasions, and build a rapport with China.
Clinton (D) - had an 8 year affair, abused Reagan's economic legacy, failed to provide leadership other than sexual harassment in the military became more prevalent, and wanted to be invited to several
world meetings so he offered "The Rose Garden".
Bush (R) - kept his resolve to urge UN to exercise its mission to hold Sadam Hussein accountable which was ignored, but U.S. stretched its influence for compliance and followed through.
As I write this, George Stephanopoulos is prostituting his ethics in exchange for trash journalism with emotional responses from Democrats who did not hold their leader accountable for 8
years hitting on interns.
Murtha is out of control, just like Kennedy, Kerry, and all those others who would sell us out for secular idealism.
Joe Biden, looking dapper with hair from his ... on top of his head, is still plagiarizing from reports written 20 years ago as though he has some intelligence to become President. Sorry, you won't
graduate for that. We don't care how many times you tell us what you said "after the fact" on every situation.
George questioned White House Counsel Dan Bartlett if he thought Bob Woodward had an agenda and was violating his professional ethics in journalism? DUH! Dan was gentle.
Evidently, not enough people trust "The Washington Post" reporting anymore and Bob needs to generate controversial innuendo to supplement his income - miss quoting fact / fiction
makes good novels - ten of them I heard form the horse's mouth (oops! oh that's ok!).
Eighty-five percent of Americans want to keep the war on terrorism off our shores. They will vote that way in 2006 & 2008 - no pandering required. Polls won't show this because those
who are concerned do not participate in polls. They'd rather offer guidance to those who must make those decisions.
Intelligent voters don't need newspapers distortions. They just would like their vote to count.
Now elections are a different matter. Over $14 million of our money was fraudulently doled out for a secure, accountable system nationwide. What we got is a system that is less accountable than
1968's ballot box switch in Chicago or those black balls used to determine memberships in private clubs.
There will be no validity for popular opinion rendered through vote analysis this year.
From what I see and hear in election ads is nonsense. The only ads with some truth are those Howard Dean is producing tying our Republican candidates with our President - something our candidates are
afraid to do because of their lack of resolve.
So far, campaign ads have told us more of why we shouldn't vote for the person saying, "I'm .... and I approved this message."
This morning, Jimmy Carter said "Clinton did everything he could to kill Osama Bin Laden".
Not enough! And, Clinton's wife will defend that.

et al.:
Just to make it fair; it should be required that each candidate on September's ballot, Republican or Democrat that did not win due to fraudulent voting should receive a stipend equal to that spent by each of the Governor
Candidates for their abuse in the system by state election officials whether or not they spent that amount.
This is only fair because the State reported a surplus of money that, let's face it, was obtained fraudulently and recovered before dem dems could give it away to their cronies.
That should be a little over $1 million for each statewide candidate and maybe $500,000 for each Congressional with local candidates recovering $100,000 for their belief in a fair and legal system flawed by those who
could care less of how private sector money is secured and distributed.

1. Fw: Have a good day! Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Mon Oct 2, 2006 1:54 pm (PDT) ----- Original Message ----- From: GZarwell To: CoffeeTalks Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 6:55 PM Subject: Have a good day! et al.: Solution to election fraud is to condone it in favor of incumbents and preferential votes. What a crock! I suggested three months ago to use absentee or paper ballots to avoid this debacle and now they decide after they choose their shills to follow through on my very open suggestion for an election of their chosen few. Not really ethical or even within law. Governor Erhlich must declare this month's election as invalid. He must delay November's election until April to allow a November primary on paper or to have a February primary with secure, online, or proven election systems before we elevate any more shills to public trust. We need indictments of perpetrators, those who work for the State Election Board who are close associates to J. J.Curran, Thomas V. Mike Miller, Linda Lemone, and to impeach Justice Bell for collusion over many years of their corrupt practices denying recounts - 'cause votes counts never existed. This means that all those representing us in Washington for 20 + years got there fraudulently. That makes them accessories. We can gain restitution of all those salaries, benefits, and retirement checks as well as attach their private wealth to repay taxpayers for their misuse of our monies. I'm sure with a study of past elections, it will prove the numbers were phony for many years all calculated based upon a premise of Democrat numbers greater than Republican. and about a 1/3rd - 2/3rd assessment in election after election. Denying candidates a fair count has made this month's election one of the most fraudulent in history because it was exposed prior to running a cover up operation to select their weaklings for the general. If the governor hasn't the balls to declare a miss-vote, then he should suffer the consequences, but we don't need his opponent , son-in-law of perpetrator Curran to take office either. Fraud is a federal offense and needs to be determined through a Grand Jury. However, what judge would risk a career decision to go up against Bell or even risk the legislature impeachment for legitimacy or ethical considerations in favor of truth and honesty? None in Maryland that's for sure. To all those challengers, you have been mislead. To all those voters who believed their votes counted, you've been misled. To all those media who starred at me and asked why? Now, you know. To all those poll workers, judges, and county commissioners, now you know they want to blame you for their bungling their fraudulent plans. As technology gets more credible, it is harder to pull the wool over our eyes. Perhaps, those in election management should've listened to their six-years olds when they tried to show them how to use a computer. Three major election boards resisted changes because the old system could cover up fraudulent detection. These new systems really destroy that malfunction. My assessment is that voter counts in outlying counties have more accurate vote counts because they generally don't effect statewide offices. However, Congressional races decided in Baltimore County/City, Montgomery County, and Prince Georges County are suspect for fraud just on observation of their inability to secure votes two weeks ago. There's only two offices that elections don't have to be done - (1) Governor where Republican incumbent was uncontested, and Democrat where threats and intimidation deleted a challenger from Montgomery County, and (2) U.S. Senate where Republican Candidate had a clear edge from RNC, but Democratic candidates had a contest worthy of a recount. This November's general election is currently between fraudulently designated candidates who were not selected by Maryland's registered voters, but by a committee at 151 West Street, floor three, State Election Board headquarters where efforts are desperately trying to validate their visibly corrupt activities and performance in their Constitutional positions to uphold our State creed. Voter ID can be compared to passports, driver's license, utility bills, Library cards, and state employee ID, Federal ID's, and Photo employer IDs/pay stubs of registered Maryland corporations and listed companies, and for those who receive Maryland welfare checks can present those or their food stamp cards. All paper ballots should been sealed with a purple finger print of a valid voter to prove it was cast. Granted any poll worker can create that seal, but when scanned by the police records division, duplicates could be discarded an poll workers indicted. Have a good day! Gene www.gzarwell.com |

et al.:
Love "puppies" or not is not a question to be debated.
Howard Dean seems to be really upset that Republicans don't have to attack their candidates. What's there to attack? Why dignify their winning? Why question their inability to talk truthfully?
Why clarify their inconsistency with main stream issues? Why emphasize their denial of their voter base?
You know, I was ready with that litmus test question; "What's your position on abortion? Now it is all about choice.
"I thank my mother every morning that she didn't make that decision."
Perhaps, I can thank all of you, too, for not making that decision. Within two generations, Republicans will naturally outnumber Democrats unless our kids get adopted by ....
Most Democrats don't know anything about issues of relevance. Most don't support our country's security policies. Most want to plagiarize Republican policy and claim it as theirs. Most wait for us to
define what's important so they can deny it and go for more government dependency.
And, least, and last they tout their talent, Bilary as though they did something while occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Smile, you're going to court, again and again. Now, they replay those smiles as they try to
mock those who truly want to better this world.
Hob knobbing, name dropping; verbal intimidation when asked simple historical questions; as though they have something to hide - perhaps their agenda.
Ben Cardin may be a long time Congressman, but he does nothing to bring jobs to Maryland. He fights business, insurance reform, healthcare reform, and promises he'll take care of Maryland families; with what?
Once again, whose he fighting?
He does increase taxes for us who do work so he can provide for all those government dependents. He even featured misplaced persons from New Orleans in his commercials.
Truthfully, he doesn't deserve to win, but with J. Joseph Curran running Maryland elections through Tom V. Mike Miller and support from Justice Robert M. Bell, he just might. Linda Lamone and crew will probably
assess him a Democratic 2/3rds.
It bothers me big time that so many people actually think Maryland elections are about votes. It's about graft and greed by those old timers sitting in those seats or sleeping in their offices wafting for lobbyists to
bring them their bag lunches.
What bothers me is that Governor Erhlich must rely on that highly touted, expensive new system for reelection. Never mind it's controlled by Mayor Martin O'Malley's father-in-law. Speaking of O'Malley and
truthfulness - didn't "Time" magazine declare him as one of top five Mayors in America two days after taking office.
Seems to me that recent surveys show him as dead last with failing schools, weak police programs, rising crime, more drugs sold on city streets than in pharmacies, and a government run amuck when providing city services
through five under mayors. If you need to go to Baltimore, wait until after your trip to get your car realigned.
How can DNC claim that loving our President is a flawed policy?
Bill Clinton is trying to rewrite his Presidency now that he woke up from that 8 year orgasm. Maybe he thought he put together a transition package for "W", but he failed to reign in his V.P. who left no
time for a transition period as Bush 41 did for him.
Leaving a box of papers in a closet in The Oval Office isn't quite the same as a two month transition. And, we know those Clintons couldn't find their documents for close to three years when requested by a
special prosecutor - same closet.
I admire Secretary Rice for stating that there was never a plan from Clinton's evacuees as they entered private sector or other government jobs.
For some reason, she politely forgot that Al Gore and his phony 10,000 votes held up any transition period as his guys tried to wrinkle, dimple and hang chads on Thursday behind the courthouse. They were still
debating that recount after recount almost to inauguration day; and still do even as recount after recount added more red states.
In military assignments, and Bill was Commander in Chief, you normally turn over a command with a complete accountability and debrief. Bill ran up to New York while Hillary stayed in Washington until she could
convince New Yorkers she was of Jewish descent.
He left a cooked book with deficits.
Now, Virginia's Senator, George Allen is trying to convince us that he didn't know he was; that he is not trying hide it ; or he used sick southern humor in college days. He spends most of his visibility
telling us Jim Webb doesn't deserve your vote. So, who does?
I approved this message.
None of his problems are Presidential disqualifications as was an affair on board the "monkey Business, or hitting on interns in Congress, and ultimately in The White House Oval Office. He's just not
Presidential!
Now if we could have that same attention to security as we have with....
Mike: Puppies grow up! Quickly.

8. Re: Baltimore City Election Board Emergency] Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Sep 22, 2006 2:34 am (PDT) Doc: Voter fraud goes back to early J.J. Curran days in consort with Mikulski, Sarbanes, and Tom. V. Mike Miller. It took me three years to uncover how they do it as I reported on Channel 2 during my four minute Candidate interview. Now, Linda Lamone and group are trying to blame machine manufacturers and software engineers for programming to "Curran" specs - 88% of Republicans show up on Democratic rolls, thus in effect giving Maryland a Democratic Majority that Justice Bell can use to deny any vote challenges. Note: Attorneys General office has never prosecuted voter fraud or even recommended a questionable recount. Instead they blocked such efforts with percentage of voter registrations and specified a system that produced no traceable records. County offices were unaware until election day that this flawed procedure was in place. I urged all voters to file absentee and place purple finger prints on the back side to prove a real person voted - not many did, but many did vote absentee. Prince Georges County even rejected new devices because they were quite happy with their established fraudulent procedures and didn't need to retrain their poll workers or election board. In Annapolis, they announced winners before they could be challenged by absentee numbers. This election should be declared "Null 'n Void". Within days I could have a secure online voting mechanism up and running with enough security to create a reasonable assurance of one valid election before hackers get into it. Within a year we could have a highly secure system as I proposed to FEC last year and again in April. In this last election, machines could not transmit voter counts or voter choices to host computers in polling places let along send only one record to Annapolis main frames where "committee" exercised its preferential voting as they do in Australia. Many challengers probably received more votes than assessed, but to keep Maryland under power of a few, weak links were designated for general election ballots. There is no available record for printout or review of last weeks vote. There is no tabulation of how many votes were cast including numbers reported on Tuesday night that were lowered on Wednesday and statewide elections didn't tally between races; i.e.: Gubernatorial vs.. Comptroller, vs.. Senate. My assumption is that voter count was less than 10 percent based upon media reports of no showings at polling places and turn-backs. This was not a viable experience except to prove to other nations that America can preach, but not live up to its high standards because of a few. Many Republicans report receiving Democratic absentee ballots instead of Republican because of aforementioned registration fraud at State - not county. Will there be indictments? Probably not. Those who could; perpetrated it. They were hoping all this would go away, but in each of my television interviews and newspaper editorial considerations for endorsement, I brought up this fraud that has ruled for almost 27 years. A perk of being considered by Maryland media as reigning perennial candidate because the other guy died. If you think Martin O'Malley will get involved in a fair election, forget that. He'll just spread Curran's corruption to outlying counties. And, we certainly don't need a Curran offspring as Chief Justice.

1. Preferential votes don't tally
Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Sep 22, 2006 2:34 am (PDT)
et al,:
Over 750,000 were reported on Tuesday night on various media, but reductions were reported on Wednesday. Then with 93 percent of precincts reporting, 50,000 vote difference in statewide races indicates fraud or
someone doesn't know how to add or calculate preferential votes in Annapolis Election Board headquarters for same precincts.
Preferential voting is used in Australia where voters actually designate their candidate to assess rankings of candidates to determine where they will finish. Or, they can vote their preferences themselves.
It essentially has nothing to do with popular vote as we in Maryland believe.
In Maryland we have a bastardized version of preferential voting where voters don't designate, but election officials rank candidates according to who they want to succumb to failed policy and corruption.
I never expected to win because my belief is that we should have a voice in how our government spends taxpayer contributions from working people with productive jobs and are not dependent upon government for their
livelihood.
See that would be a democracy of the people, for the people, and with the people.
Media doesn't report it because they can't figure out how tallies can change lower, and some of us can't figure out how any numbers can be presented when machines aren't online with main frames and neither voter count nor
voter preference is recorded and printed out to be verified by independent public officials or media independent counts as in Florida in 2000.
So Preferential votes don't tally - its a virtual election which means it never took place.
Don' t look for any better in November 'cause J. Joseph Curran, Jr. doesn't retire until just before his predecessor is sworn in and Judge Bell will still be in place to reject any challenges to that vote
electing Curran's son-in-law as gov.
By the way, Dem votes didn't make any sense either between Cardin and Mfume.
Generally, a dem front runner is awarded nearly 1 million votes and runner up about 400,000 if Republicans garner nearly a half million. That did not get reported this time because no votes counted and no proof
of votes, so they lowered their estimates and used a 1/3rd -2/3rd for their "hot competitors.
With 19 dem candidates for U.S. Senate, media only reported two who campaigned against keeping al-Qeada out of the United States, and Republican candidates campaigned on "trust me I don't know what to do but
will be different".
Voter turn out was so low last week, that probably less 300,000 voters went to polls. Go figure.
Other states had similar results and some mid-west media reported it in depth. I read their pieces and all you had to do was hit your "Find and replace" button to report Maryland as State and
Baltimore as major city.
"Ollie, a fine mess you got us into!"

et al.:
And then came chicken little. The sky is falling, the sky is falling.
So, they took a vote in Congress to determine that if "we vote to say the sky isn't falling, it just may not". Yet it rained anyway.
It is alright for al-Qeada to abuse our troops by loping off their heads and drag them through a combat zone or local community; burn them alive and hang our troops on a bridge brace.
Yet, who do you say authorized that?
America???
Perhaps if Osama Bin Laden signs off on a version of World War It's Geneva Convention that argument to back off would probably hold. Do you believe that?
To date,, I have heard no named official designated by Senators McCain or Warner who would sign on behalf of al-Qeada in the land of OZ? ooze? or rocks; Or, for that matter, even put a meeting together for either
Senator to meet to negotiate such an agreement.
Are we suggesting to that wicked witch of the East, President of Pakistan, Taliban leader in Southern Afghanistan, or Iraq's new Prime Minister to sign for them???
From what I have witnessed these past three years, our American troops have conducted themselves far better than those who strap weapons of mass destruction to their bodies and blow up innocent victims along with American
troops with IED's.
Should our troops who put on white gloves and escort those butchers to a cozy cot where politely a question can be asked if quarters are adequate and help them select a meal from a menu?
I don't think so.
If our Congress wants equality, then get appropriate signatures from those who set that standard before trying to undermine retaliation for heinous crimes.
'Course if we want to get something done, we're going need a different kind of Senator - one with military experience, exposure to tough decisions, understanding of law with diplomacy to negotiate on behalf of the United
States, and a strong resolve to deter or defeat terrorists desiring to eliminate democracy by overthrowing mid-east oil controlling regimes and using those billions of petrodollars to fund their low intensity,
low-tech political subversion and terrorism as it lives off western sustenance- that weakness must be exploited.

From: GZarwell To: CoffeeTalks Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 4:39 PM Subject: Probably bad carp!
et al.:
As we all wait for vote tabulation, it becomes more apparent that voter fraud cannot even be enacted by those fools in Annapolis.
Last evening, they announced close to one-million votes cast without voter machine tallies from most locations. Since those machines didn't have independent memory, they were linked to polling location computers that
incapable of sending results to our State Election Board.
This makes it very convenient to speculate on number of voters of which half were turned away because of incompetence at Annapolis not being able to initialize their system. Many others decided not to vote because of
news stories of faulty systems.
Now, with major news media picking up inflated numbers on Tuesday that cannot be corroborated on Wednesday, no vote has been cast within Maryland's rules. This entire election should be considered null and void and
fraudulent,
It violates our rights and our intelligence. It is a civic duty to vote for our public officials. That was denied yesterday.
This has been going on since mid-1970's when Curran, Sarbanes, Mikulski and Bell teamed up.
I noted that many races were reported as close last night to give media some stories about favorites, but when trying to decide who they could run in November to keep the good old boys network in place , they began to
decide otherwise. Positions changed, but vote counts seemed not to reconcile with perceived voters.
Computers provide virtual data, visuals, and empty cyber-space that through manipulations can be filled with virtual votes, those not cast but reported. Couple this with inherent inability to printout or send data
outbound, makes it even more virtual. They don't exist.
For a valid election in Maryland, there needs to be about 3.7 million voters, but not less than .7 million. There needs to be a record of those who voted, and a tabulation printout even though an electronic tabulation
can be reconciled in less than 15 seconds from close of voting at eight o'clock at each site and transmitted in less than 20 seconds to a main cache where computer tabulation can accomplish all hundred or so races in less
than five minutes.
Folks, we've been scammed big time, and it will cost us big bucks. At least on-third of our tax base will benefit, though. They get paid from tax money. In private sector that is considered conflict of
interest and embezzlement.
We should not let them get away with this scam. Unfortunately, there is nobody to take this issue to, because our Chief Justice is in it up to his...., and our Attorneys General has his son-in-law slated to be
benefactor.
Judges in the United States District Court for Maryland are intimidated by both and perhaps even received their nominations for those positions with strings attached. Who knows?
Something smells and it aint contaminated crabs - Probably bad carp!

3a. Fw: That's not leadership!
Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Sep 22, 2006 2:34 am (PDT)
et al.:
As you go tomorrow to vote. Look around and see who else is voting.
I just received an email from a young man wanting to know my position of gun control. I answered him.
At that moment a Ben Cardin spot ran telling me he will fight for Maryland's families. Then Kwasi's spot ran, telling me he will fight against our President.
Most Democrats think fighting is selling lobbyist ideas for campaign funds. Most Republican candidates talk how they will bring their newly acquired behavior patterns to public office. Those are the
"different kind of politicians".
None of them understand they must support our fight against al-Qaeda. Otherwise we don't need them in Congress or State houses because our way of life will be gone.
History reminds us, today, that in less than 45 minutes someone can change our way life, our sense of security, our skylines, and our suspicions about everyone not looking like us.
Politics is no longer a cash cow for pseudo-leaders. We need leaders, not as I hear most politicians say, " I gave a speech about that yesterday. Tomorrow, I will be speaking on this...."
Yet, you never hear, "my experience in this situation gives me expertise to give you cost effective security, with services to support your life goals and keep government out of your discretionary cash. I won't
throw your money in a fire pot, but I will allow you to be responsible enough to not become dependent upon government. From my experience, those who speak more government funding are weak links in society with no
knowledge of how to grow emotionally, professionally, financially, or physically.
That's not leadership!

Vote "EZ" in Maryland - "A smart way to vote!"
For those who would like to read my answer to a voter - here it is....
John:
You might like to visit my website: www.gzarwell.com.
Although gun control is not an issue this year it has been prominent in past years. Most discussions on gun control are negative emotional arguments with no basis. I always thank my military instructors for
teaching me how to control our weapons safely and with purpose.
Prone was best, one hand under forend stock, other lightly on trigger, breathing slowly and looking down the barrel at target.
What we need is more interest in assuring those who have guns know how to care and use them. Our first line of defense is police and fire, next comes our National Guard and active services, but, as in 1776, it was
America's citizens who took up arms to send British troops home.
We changed battle tactics and prevailed. This might be a skill set needed in our future to deter and defeat terrorists looking for ways to destroy democracy and our Judea-Christian values.
Since 9-11 and arguments over immigration law, plus increases in armed attacks of joggers and bank thefts, guns are more common place. Many more women carry guns with purpose, but take training programs to learn how
to effective and accurately use them. I have not seen any statistics saying we are less safe with guns in possessions of our citizens.
Gun control as debated really refers to how human behavior needs to be refined so those who legitimately want guns have those ethical values and skills to operate them with impunity. Most people killed by guns either
lose control of theirs or they accidentally shoot themselves.
A smart tactic is to use your attackers gun. That way it doesn't become a shoot out.
Two reasons why registering guns is a good idea; 1) in case of emergency, we know where guns might be located, 2) those who register tell us that they understand how to use guns.
It seems in recent months, police are shooting more victims than those considered as armed and dangerous.
One last thought. Persons at the wrong end of gun either got there for bad behavior or they embolden themselves to thwart an attack. Maybe society needs to encourage people to think first before getting into
threatening situations. That is what is happening.
Reckless use is encouraged by our media. However, knives are generally the weapon of choice by most attackers. Everyone has knives in their home. Do we need to regulate them, too. No, just box
cutters.
As Comptroller, I would only be responsible for collecting registration fees and taxes on sales of guns and ammunition.
For legislative changes you need to listen to Senate and House candidates. I will tell you that most of them have no training in gun control or exposure to military tactics, we need to assess carefully who we elect -
I believe each elected official should have minimum military training 'cause their body guards may become immobilized and we wouldn't want them shooting themselves in the foot or other body parts as they pick up a gun.
We also need to change behavior patterns of those driving cars where there are more casualties in one month than three years fighting in Iraq.

13b. Fw: Who's gonna pay for that?
Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Sep 22, 2006 2:35 am (PDT)
et al.:
Not only was Primary Tuesday a national farce, interrogation tactics of blood thirsty terrorists are being criticized by Presidential wannabes who reject both the President's and Secretary of State's call for
clarification (take the fat out) of our Supreme Courts ambiguous definitions based upon those from a 1949 Geneva Convention signed by all nations.
McCain who was a prisoner of war in Viet Nam claims, now, they treated him within those confines of that Convention treaty. Didn't he hype his tortured past beyond those definitions to become a Senator?
That 1949 Geneva Convention agreement was signed by nations, not rouge, misled, extremists who violate every sense of human dignity to gain media exposure on American networks distributed globally to recruit suicide
bombers and insurgent forces using un-paid media without having to comply with rules, ethics and policy of Public Service Media, but rather evening and global news wires that gives them credibility within their
circles of terror.
It matters not what Americans think about them or how we treat those we capture. In suicide bombings very few survive, and others according to al-Qeada have no human value except in civilized nations of which they are
not, but will be martyred.
Senator McCain wants Americans to understand that we should take a moral high ground, as we have, by treating al-Qeada as though they are committed to that 1949 treaty. That if we take them to secure sanctuaries,
they wouldn't drag our soldiers and innocent journalists through their territories and hang them up on bridge abutments after burning their beheaded bodies.
He said he did not want to modify those Conventions according to our President's rationale, but that he and all those other people, retired generals, (his words) etc. just want to modify it their way.
My guess is that McCain needs a platform to distance himself from securing American's at home by blaming our field intelligence tactics against those who could care less and be martyred for heinous acts against Americans.
Perhaps, we should send our Supreme Court to Baghdad to deal with non-combatants rather than with ambiguous definitions debated to undermine retribution for war crimes against humanity.
McCain and all those others he hides behind have no clear idea of what should be a standard for interrogating captured al-Qeada operatives/detainees. Perhaps, John McCain would like to run the CIA interrogation
program from Baghdad rather than Monday morning quartering backing from a comfortable office in Washington/Arizona.
If the war comes here, then how would we handle it? Would Common article 3 - 1949 Geneva - be our standard? Would Arizona be safe - Yes! You know those Mexicans along our borders would protect Arizona.
It just proves time and time again that no current or former member of Congress is worthy of our 2008 votes for neither our highest office nor any in Congress. Send them all back to their home states
where they increase employment by putting more and more people on government payrolls - who's gonna pay for that?.

6. For that matter... Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Sep 8, 2006 2:43 am (PDT) et al.: He, he, Joe Biden hasn't given up on plagiarism as he tried to make himself impotent for a Presidential run. He says we need, amongst other things in the plan since 1976 - we should be Developing "institutions of democracy". It'd be nice if he and his Howard Dean leadership understood what that is and took a leadership role here at home. Democracy doesn't end with a "T" . It ends with "...can", if you know what I mean. Some of his other ideas as Tracy Schmitt, RNC spokeswoman, reminded him are failed policies and include: - Implementing the security-strengthening recommendations from the bipartisan commission that studied the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Wasn't that those programs Democrats along with their aclu foreign voices tried to abort with a phony overstated law suit in Boston ending with a weak decision about domestic wiretapping? Duh! - Working to prevent potential threats to the country's security rather than relying on a strategy of "military pre-emption." |

5. (No Subject) Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Sep 8, 2006 2:43 am (PDT) et al.: In midst of Maryland's election cycle, I read and hear many opinions and questions skewed to elicited emotional reactions in support of an issue just to get votes. I will not compromise my values for someone else's who has failed to seek inner strengths to accomplish goals. It is easy to say give me more money so I can have a better life while getting paid to do something I have a passion about but care not to sacrifice for it. Why would anyone want government into their passion. You can't get support for your passion if you have to pay everyone to get involved. People will contribute and believe when you show you can accomplish - you don't need government to help by taking away you incentives and motivations to do something good for your neighbors. This takes me to an observation that seems to have gone awry. "The Hatch Act" had a purpose and whether or not it is still in place is immaterial. Everyone one of our leaders who stand up as role models should start doing that. As I remember Hatch requirements, I couldn't as a government employee or service member run to public office without a minimum 5 year break from serving our nation. I lived up to that agreement. I find though that our leaders in our Senate and House are above that requirement and use their government time to campaign with full salary and full conflict of interest. They violate not only our trust, but that of their own wisdom to keep challengers at risk to loss of jobs and family. Under this assumption, no member of Congress serving within the 21st Century to date is qualified or legally available to serve as President. Those who try should be impeached for failure to comply with Federal Law and have all benefits and pensions rescinded as punishment for fraudulently campaigning for an office out of their reach. By the way that also includes State and Local politicians leaving their current assignments to gain a higher office. Yes, "Hatch" has a purpose which our leadership has abused for their own, gain but hold private sector leaders to higher standards under penalty of jail time and illegal seizure of their assets. Shouldn't it apply to Public sector, Too? Personally, I'd rather elect a leader from private sector than just another empty suit from Government or a Congressional member who long ago reached "Peter's Principle" (Peter Drucker for you youngins) level of incompetence. As an aside, let me tell you of a potential candidate who wants to change two paradigms. When he told me that, I asked why he wanted four nickels. He said he only a quarter that immediately got me thinking about his future. To which he replied, "my next quarter will double my assets." Not a bad outlook..... Fore!

2. It may take some time! Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Aug 25, 2006 4:41 pm (PDT) et al.: John Kerry wants to get out of Iraq and have our troops in conflicts throughout that region rather than isolated to a single battlefield far away from our shores. He's the one in Viet Nam that turned his swift boat 50 mm cannon on an innocent village to get rewarded with heroism medals to match John F. Kennedy's war record. He's the one who spent four months in uniform and damned our troops in Congress for his indiscretion to attack for effect as he pulled his second in command out of the water when he hit the throttle without warning. That's what he thinks is heroism and honor of a Navy 2nd Lieutenant. It's not! "Unfortunately," says, John McCain, that terrorism will be with us for a long, long time. He also says he will support Connecticut's Republican, but Joe Lieberman is a friend. This is exactly how politicians fraudulently mislead their colleagues and their constituents. "No commitment." For the Record, John Kerry said exactly the same thing about Connecticut's Democratic nominee and Joe Lieberman. How Presidential is that? Democraps have one goal - highjack Bush policy and resolve to bring "the fight to our shores". Their last President for eight years opened US doors to terrorists who waited for an opportunity to test "the new kid" on the block. More than 23 years ago, our plans were to stop the rise of terror in Iraq, but we were diverted with Beirut, Somalia, Kuwait, and failed policy through ignorance of Clinton, USS Cole incident. To set a record straight, Kennedy's standoff with Cuba was not as calculated a risk as touted. Khrushchev sent empty missile casings to create an appearance of a threat to test American resolve. A team of cryptographers alerted the White House of that ploy and President Kennedy took a strong stand that resulted in strengthening American resolve. Taking away our capability to secure similar intelligence for prevention of real threats is not in America's interest. Not in mine, and I trust you don't want to live in an environment similar to that of Southern Lebanon. It fails to impress me that aclu attorneys can buy judges for their misconceived liberties, when in fact they are suppressing American ingenuity and resolve - replacing it with open doors for our adversaries to complete their mission of total World dominance with "pond scum" (ref. My Friend's Wedding with Julia Roberts). Are there any aclu attorneys with traditional American lineage; or are they all swamp water evolutionists? Judge Taylor gave a weak judgment, stating that domestic wire tapping was illegal without warrants. Remember that was not a goal of our surveillance program. It was all about monitoring connected terrorist phone calls to prevent cell growth, not to be confused with stem cell research or swamp water evolution. We just don't want another Pearl Harbor in this day and age of technology. Her buyout gave aclu bragging rights and as usual, they emotionally add, as all lawyers will do, allegations, facts and fraud to make their case seem like media quoted hopes, "devastating blow" to our capability for keeping terrorists off our soil. Sidebar: Maryland's judicial system run by Judge Robert M. Bell and J. Joseph Curran, jr. condones that same approach allowing Attorneys like King & Nordlinger opportunities for fraudulent embellishment of judgments through phony documents amplifying orders attributed to judges without verification or any concern for truth. In one highly documented case there are nine three-ring binders of documentation that resulted in an illegal search and seizure of evidence to obstruct justice through their three-way collusion before Federal Judge Nickerson caved in on a phony case without fact and reversed his opinion. End Sidebar. NSA is not interested in private citizen phone calls. If any media or lawyers have a problem with their activities and our making phone calls to coordinate events undercutting our security, maybe they should abandon us and go somewhere safer. Can I suggest Southern Lebanon for instance? Perhaps they could create a country where they can impose their evolutionary mind set. A place where pond scum can evolve. They would need wet lands. Most of Africa is undesirable. America's wet lands are under construction. Maybe, just maybe, they could take a cutting from a tropical island and let it grow and evolve into a more perfect nation.

3. Wow, really? Yup! Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Mon Aug 14, 2006 1:44 pm (PDT) et al.: Lamont, an emotional appeal against war, won Connecticut's primary espousing disfavor with current Foreign policy and George Bush's leadership. Yet, he described perfectly what should be done globally right out of the Republican President's policy and play book on deterring global terrorism. So, why do we have to listen to,yet, another phony democrat reiterate a 23-year plan developed by concerned military strategists back in 1983. It was reinvented and rethunk many times before 1993's attack on the World Trade Center. That warning went virtually unheeded by Clinton's team of non-military/security team. They even ignored other attacks on Americans around the world waiting for them to attack us here at home as predicted in 1994. Lamont is a small business entrepreneur who owns a cable television outlet - has no military experience, and is upset that healthcare costs are driving private sector businesses like his out of business due to corruption, fraud, and incompetence in healthcare as well as suppliers of pharmaceuticals. My projection about his future is a loss in November based upon his cowardice to face reality, and his impact on healthcare will go unanswered - he should've pushed that issue. Democrats cannot win on their main stream thoughts, because they are basically flawed so they attempt to plagiarize President Bush's positions, his resolve, and efforts to bring global harmony together around our inalienable rights. Secular agents - communist sympathizers - liberal socialists - trying to undermine everyone's inalienable rights so greed, corruption, and lobbyist (lawyers) fraud replace hard earned livings with percentage professions, secular teachings in our schools that are more politically incorrect based upon Darwin's theory they grew from swamp water. Watch out Miss Little Red Riding Hood, they're sleeping in your neighborhood. They get there through your cable television and our airwaves. Wow, really? Yup!

7. Steroids vs. Fraud Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Wed Aug 9, 2006 6:01 pm (PDT) et al.: Steroids in sports vs. fraud in government. It is amazing that most corporate fraud involves government sanctioned projects where as steroids in sports is all about cheating by role models who have more impact on society than our secular school systems. Perhaps we should hold everyone to a high standard, not just our leaders...oops they aren't. Most have no resolve and got there through voter fraud. Ninety-eight percent of them (there's that percent again) never served their country to fight for or train to fight for it - how do we know they have what it takes to make quickly those tough decisions to survive. Now, our consideration must be whether or not steroids and fraud are equally addictive and what penalties should be imposed on those perpetrators. Penalties can be several affecting finance, fame, and felony. In sports it is almost immediate to fine and take away fame so all the world can see how tough our officials are or how fraudulent sports is whether on the playing field or International lacing specimen testing. In government it is almost impossible to fine and take away power because who can judge what is right or wrong? Attorneys Generals cannot if they are running the scams. Judges succumb to bribes and splits with lawyers from settlements and rulings. Colleagues in Congress cover for each other for fear they, too, will be found out. Then, getting only a slap on the knuckles when necessary, right Sister Mary? Our Constitution never gave our "leaders" immunity from law nor did it entitle them to pay. That was an early concern never in its final draft. After several years of looking into Maryland's legislative and judicial fraud, well documented with no place to present it - they think - well its time to turn on that proverbial fan and see if it sticks. Because there are so many national and state legislators lacking that fourth "E" - Ethics, we could probably indict them all, retroactively (a concept used to extort more money from private industry for campaign contributions) , to a day before they appeared at swearing-in, you know attest to their loyalty and responsibility to uphold our Constitution and laws of our land in our best interest as a nation, yadda, yadda, yadda. He's my rambling on how to resolve not only our deficit, but also rid of those who failed to stand up behind their Oath of Office. In sports you lose fame, fortune, and favor - in politics you can lose power, prestige, and profits (unearned). Here's a list of recommended resolutions; (1) loss of tenure from first soft contribution; (2) reimburse taxpayers for unearned income (basically all of it); (3) return lobbyists contributions to taxpayers - nation's general fund; (4) ineligibility for government retirement/medical benefits; and ineligibility to campaign for any public office up or down line from last filled position. Not every law has to be based upon a Supreme Court decision. States are entities run by citizens from that state. They should hold their government responsible to them by not reelecting those who a) cannot abide by law, b) cannot write effective law, and, c) are lawyers - see how voter fraud works. We can't vote them out because "we the people" don't have a vote. As states like Maryland ask for more money from its private sector in competition with foreign countries where our deflated American dollar buys more than here at home, it is difficult to see why any producing entity would want to move to Maryland - thus, like NE States, we have percentage earning industries - legal, financial planning, insurance, and now days, healthcare. Addiction to power needs to be addressed at the polls. It cannot continue for challengers as a "risk all - lose everything" avocation. I agree that we need to enforce our Constitutional "term limits". To do that we need a legitimate voting process. As a former sports star said this weekend about athletes "there has to be some integrity." As perennial candidate, Gene "EZ" Zarwell has said about civil servants, "there has to be some integrity." Maryland was Republican when I first got here in 1973. Mac Mathias and Glen Buell were our Senators. Helen Bentley and Marjorie Holt were in Congress. Something changed during that time, 'cause when I went to register to vote and change my tags, I was told I had to register Democrat in order to get a good job or any government benefits. I was military reserve on assignments in addition to being on The Bendix Corporation staff responsible for 12 divisions public relations. Because of that involvement I was asked to be Vice President Spiro Agnew's Press Secretary - I declined. Too many bag lunches. Several months later I declined joining President Nixon's staff and took an ad agency position in Detroit performing military public service advertising contracts in all fifty states. Entering '88 race for Us Senate, I was told I could not get elected as a Republican because registration was invalid in Maryland unless you were a democrat. Same with a driver's license. Regarding our two wars; Chuck Haegel and Chris Bond were featured on "Face the Nation". Haegel made some general remarks and followed it with, "I don't have all the facts, I don't have the details, but...." So why was he asked about the wars. He couldn't even say, " in my military term..." Bond said, Israel was right to respond to Hezbollah. No other country in the world would do differently." He didn't base that on his military experience either. Why not? Clinton did it differently - he couldn't base it on his military experience either. He ran to Canada and took a seat at Oxford away from some deserving scholar. Yet, he became Commander in Chief and ignored his responsibility to retaliate attacks on his forces around the globe. Dems wanted dollars to give away instead of commitment to security that resulted in a peacetime attack on Americans at work and so we threw money at the incident and have fear of repetition ever since. Folks, we need to make sure Maryland has a legitimate voter process this year. For 33 years we have paid for fraudulently elected officials to be our civil servants. We need to answer Josh's call for change, but with experienced individuals, not those just with some idea...." Gene "EZ" Zarwell Vote "EZ" in Maryland - "A smart way to vote!" |

It's about time they got smart! Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Wed Aug 9, 2006 6:01 pm (PDT) et al.: Today I read that Governors are finally understanding decisions of the '70's when states relied on Federal funds to build, equip, and train members of their militia. Of course training was to meet national security missions with requirements for maintenance of equipment and readiness levels for war time deterrence. Does this news mean that states are ready and willing to fund their own militia? Recruit their own members? Purchase war machinery from our five military services? Negotiate their own purchasing contracts with term to hold state accountable for full payment? Well if it does, we will have a balanced force for National Defense as well as state or regional natural disaster. Taxpayers benefiting from state militia will actually foot the bill and also contribute to a National Security effort so their homeboys can stay home. I wonder which governor understands what a militia is? As their own Commander in Chief they will need to show leadership instead of cowardice; decisiveness rather than waffling; understanding family rather than civil service; and they will need to give them all comparable living wages when activated meeting civilian employment and profession practice It's about time they got smart!

get serious about our future Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Wed Aug 9, 2006 6:02 pm (PDT) et al.: It must be election time again. Dem Dems are going to try to inundate us with non-issue legislation to prove how stupid we are as they consider more bills for us to pay. Each will come with amendments providing special interest paybacks for PAC advertising promotions. Watch the ads, those with more endorsements of flimsy ideas generally are not worthy of re-election - they abused your money in their previous term(s). Any legislation presented in these next few weeks are only show and designed to create controversy and pay backs to lobbyists. Debate will probably overturn each of them with no action, but PAC money will flow to dem Dems and Republicans to fill media coffers with your money and more skewed polls of how media would like us to think. In the end, none of it will be productive, but very costly in terms of challenger reputations, credibility, and with amendments unfairly sought for personal gain and contributions for incumbents. Listen to Maryland Democrat Josh Rales to find out how wrong perceptions are about what this country needs. He has no clue and reads his high priced consultants warped views as though they are new ideas from where change comes. He is wrong and totally unreliable having earned his wealth from percentages of others hard work. His ideas have been challenged for more than 20 years - no change affected. He's out to guarantee himself more unearned income - its our money Josh. To his credit he does tell us he is a Democrat with no experience. Even your vote won't count unless you get an absentee ballot and have it notarized for the recount. After almost thirty years, maybe Maryland and other states will be able to either reschedule this year's elections or perhaps we'll have purple ink on our fingers for a few days - for legitimate ballot counts, it will be worth it - press your finger on your ballot, too, to attest that you cast that vote. If done properly, there should be more than 3.7 million votes cast in statewide runs. Hopefully, all absentee, verifiable. I doubt whether our Election board can guarantee a legitimate vote in September or verify November's vote. This should be an exciting, graft filled election season. They can't print enough paper ballots to register enough votes to make it a valid election cycle. It's time to get serious about our future!

Fw: No surprise Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Wed Aug 9, 2006 6:01 pm (PDT) ----- Original Message ----- From: GZarwell To: CoffeeTalks Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2006 2:02 PM Subject: No surprise et al.: By time you read this, global incidents will probably have changed politically and tactically. In 1983 our projections for a global military environment forecasted early 21st Century strategies to be exactly as they have become. It was unveiled in a video called "Decisive Edge" using animations and graphics depicting many skirmishes in regional battles throughout the Middle-east. Force structure adaptations were recommended, doctrine adjustments, and equipment designed to meet rapid deployments with easy mobility to meet battle requirements. It was a goal of "Army 21" planning. In 1992, that planning was forgotten by that administration where many in office had no military experience and looked only for financial rewards from defense contracts. Force structure remained, equipment went unfinished and doctrine failed to address current developments. I produced that video and have recently shown it to several people who criticize our defense readiness today. Our projections were based upon intelligence collected throughout the seventies as mid-east crises began to pop up as information and communications networks developed. Western civilization was providing extremely better quality, life-styles than underdeveloped nations. Alliances helped build economies and a desire to have more like what was available in America. It was not surprising to see global resentment increase for the "Haves" vs. the "Have Nots". Politics of our Congressional incumbents was to garner personal benefits from defense contracts in their states as they failed to keep our mission in mind. People were becoming entities instead of individuals and money was being worshipped for all the wrong reasons. Our national mission (A democracy safe from intrusion using its superior deterrence to prevent war) was being defused by neglect and ignorance as it changed from strength to complacency until 9-11 when everything changed. You don't need a Rhodes scholarship drop-out mentality to know that taxpayers want their money spent wisely on basic support of our national doctrine, security of our shores and borders, developing respect from other nations that our resolve is global compatibility to help assure inalienable rights for mankind. Unfortunately, those in Congress who represent us, speak out for us on global media with disjointed messages, unintelligent remarks, while our courts hand out injustice with no resolve to meet our goals. Their personal agendas cheat us of our stature as they compromise our values for theirs - not a good legacy. How do we change that? Vote not for incumbents, but for challengers who have produced through work ethics and not wealth from percentages. Find out how honestly they report their golf score - an individual sport of character, discipline, and control. No drug enhancements. No buying points. Yes, penalties for errors and lifts - very accountable. It is each players responsibility to report on his/her individual performance and bring his initial, first teed ball home. Not many can do it. How they report that is credibility and how they succeed is character. Politics is all about character and if you wouldn't give your wealth to your local politician to manage for you - don't elect him because if you do - you just did. If I haven't said it to you today, "I want your vote" - not a percentage of what you earned. By the way, I have shot a hole in one (Bowie # 8 - eight iron club head went to left 40 yds - ball went in 140 yds); scored par on a short course (Blue Heron, 2033 yds Back nine Par 32), and used one ball for 18 holes where focus got me to four-over par on a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. course in Haknobino, Russia, that was 5953 meters, Par 72, on my fourth day of playing there. Today, as I write we are negotiating US resolve, global credibility over matters identified but not addressed in a decade preceding our predictions. No surprise that we weren't prepared for 9-11, we only had 16 years notice. Eugene (Gene) Zarwell Vote "EZ" in Maryland - "A smart way to vote!" |

Force structure adaptations were recommended, doctrine adjustments, and equipment designed to meet rapid deployments with easy mobility to meet battle requirements. It was a goal of "Army 21" planning. In 1992, that planning was forgotten by that administration where many in office had no military experience and looked only for financial rewards from defense contracts. Force structure remained, equipment went unfinished and doctrine failed to address current developments. I produced that video and have recently shown it to several people who criticize our defense readiness today. Our projections were based upon intelligence collected throughout the seventies as mid-east crises began to pop up as information and communications networks developed. Western civilization was providing extremely better quality, life-styles than underdeveloped nations. Alliances helped build economies and a desire to have more like what was available in America. It was not surprising to see global resentment increase for the "Haves" vs. the "Have Nots". Politics of our Congressional incumbents was to garner personal benefits from defense contracts in their states as they failed to keep our mission in mind. People were becoming entities instead of individuals and money was being worshipped for all the wrong reasons. Our national mission (A democracy safe from intrusion using its superior deterrence to prevent war) was being defused by neglect and ignorance as it changed from strength to complacency until 9-11 when everything changed. You don't need a Rhodes scholarship drop-out mentality to know that taxpayers want their money spent wisely on basic support of our national doctrine, security of our shores and borders, developing respect from other nations that our resolve is global compatibility to help assure inalienable rights for mankind. Unfortunately, those in Congress who represent us, speak out for us on global media with disjointed messages, unintelligent remarks, while our courts hand out injustice with no resolve to meet our goals. Their personal agendas cheat us of our stature as they compromise our values for theirs - not a good legacy. How do we change that? Vote not for incumbents, but for challengers who have produced through work ethics and not wealth from percentages. Find out how honestly they report their golf score - an individual sport of character, discipline, and control. No drug enhancements. No buying points. Yes, penalties for errors and lifts - very accountable. It is each players responsibility to report on his/her individual performance and bring his initial, first teed ball home. Not many can do it. How they report that is credibility and how they succeed is character. Politics is all about character and if you wouldn't give your wealth to your local politician to manage for you - don't elect him because if you do - you just did. If I haven't said it to you today, "I want your vote" - not a percentage of what you earned. By the way, I have shot a hole in one (Bowie # 8 - eight iron club head went to left 40 yds - ball went in 140 yds); scored par on a short course (Blue Heron, 2033 yds Back nine Par 32), and used one ball for 18 holes where focus got me to four-over par on a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. course in Haknobino, Russia, that was 5953 meters, Par 72, on my fourth day of playing there. Today, as I write we are negotiating US resolve, global credibility over matters identified but not addressed in a decade preceding our predictions. No surprise that we weren't prepared for 9-11, we only had 16 years notice. Eugene (Gene) Zarwell Vote "EZ" in Maryland - "A smart way to vote!" |

2. Now you know Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Wed Jul 26, 2006 1:03 pm (PDT) et al.: Don't you just love Maryland politics? After putting a lot of faith into Mike Steele as the Black Republican who won a state wide race in Maryland, and backed by The President of The United States, Chairman of the Republican Party, and Republican Senatorial Committee Chairwoman; he says he doesn't want to be identified as a Republican in our U.S. Senate bid; or even have The President of The United States campaign for him. Reminiscent of another black candidate in '88 and '92. However, most democratic candidates are reluctant to claim their party either. They are GOD fearing and feel being a part of the problem is more electable than morale values and self conscientious - that both are worth compromising to win. Or; do you think it has anything to do with knowing that Maryland Senate President Tom Mike V. Miller and his lover Linda Lamone have for years stacked voter registrations in Maryland in favor of Democrats? Perhaps, you think SABLE's contracts to develop software to designate 88 percent of Republican registrations on democratic roles is a significant fraud in the eyes of Attorneys General J. J. Curran, Jr., Justice Robert M. Bell or current Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley and wife Judge? Well it's not! As far as thinking that Republicans getting Democratic ballots when visiting polling stations early on election day as not significant; think again. If you wait until later you don't even have to show up - you've already voted by surrogate. As far as incorporating newly created electronic voting machines for your vote, it comes with no verification or substantiation of vote counts, other than, when comparing numbers of registered Democrats vs. registered Republicans there is a big discrepancy. Why? Because 88 percent of registering Republicans are actually on those dem rolls; so, how can a Republican win in any local or statewide race if vote counts are fixed in a majority toward Democrats. Better yet, how can you dispute that vote count without comparing voter registrations to voter ID or faces? You can't! Oh, but you can.... Request, verify party, and mail in your absentee ballot; but keep a copy (notarize it) of your vote for submission to the courts when a recount is requested. You know, though, that absentee ballots are counted after Democrats declare themselves winners. Fact of the matter is that five or more County Election commissioners in Maryland have resigned over this fraud and several software programmers have quit that project because it violates any ethical standard of doing business except in Maryland legislatures; oh!, and in about nine other states; all claiming to be democratic strong holds. News media have known about this for years, but failed to expose it, because of huge media buys from lobbyists and PACS selling socialism, secularism, and pharmaceuticals. Makes you feel proud to vote after watching Iraqis bravely dipping their fingers in purple ink under threat of death to form a more perfect government (union of four sects) to untangle more than 2,000 years of violence. Not voting is more dangerous. Perhaps Maryland should adopt dipping the middle finger into purple ink so when you go to vote and they tell you that you already did, you can demonstrate that you did not while others who voted for you can give them the finger. Did you ever consider why it is necessary to have multiple laws in our Codes covering identical or opposite positions of all issues or violations? Well, it's simple. You can't attach ear-marks and entitlements to nothing if it won't sell on its merit. So, although you see legislators and Congressmen busy creating laws and bills - that latter is more descriptive - it is solely to create more self-wealth at taxpayer expense through corruption and fraud. Now, that's something to think about in September. For those of you who received this directly; now you know, and we can't believe those who keep saying "who knew!" Substantiation of all allegations has been verified over a three-year investigation and have been discussed with appropriate Federal government agencies outside of Maryland's judicial system along with documented resolutions and remedies addressing these allegations. My position is responsibility, accountability, and liability for misuse of taxpayer assets - in one word "Legitimacy"! Right Leonard?

1. Special Apology Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Wed Jul 26, 2006 1:03 pm (PDT) et al.: ====================================== "This Letter of Apology" For good and ill, the Iraqi prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue. On the one hand, right thinking Americans will abhor the stupidity of the actions while on the other hand, political glee will take control and fashion this minor event into some modern day massacre. I humbly offer my opinion here: I am sorry that the last seven times we Americans took up arms and sacrificed the blood of our youth, it was in the defense of Muslims (Bosnia, Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait, etc.). I am sorry that no such call for an apology upon the extremists came after 9/11. I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11 were Islamic Arabs. I am sorry that most Arabs and Muslims have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships. I am sorry that their leaders squander their wealth. I am sorry that their governments breed hate for the US in their religious schools, mosques, and government-control - led media. I am sorry that Yassar Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and high-jacked the Palestinian "cause." I am sorry that no other Arab country will take in or offer more than a token amount of financial help to those same Palestinians. I am sorry that the U.S.A. has to step in and be the biggest financial supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs blame the USA for all their problems. I am sorry that our own left wing, our media, and our own brainwashed masses do not understand any of this (from the misleading vocal elements of our society like radical professors, CNN and the NY TIMES). I am sorry the United Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the "food for oil" money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered. I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers upon their death. I am sorry that those same bombers are brainwashed thinking they will receive 72 virgins in "paradise." I am sorry that the homicide bombers think pregnant women, babies, children, the elderly and other noncombatant civilians are legitimate targets. I am sorry that our troops die to free more Arabs from the gang rape rooms and the filling of mass graves of dissidents of their own making. I am sorry that Muslim extremists have killed more Arabs than any other group. I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state. I am sorry we don't drop a few dozen Daisy cutters on Fallujah. I am sorry every time terrorists hide they find a convenient "Holy Site." I am sorry they didn't apologize for driving a jet into the World Trade Center that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites. I am sorry they didn't apologize for flight 93 and 175, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, the murders and beheadings of Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, etc....etc! I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized village in Africa. America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those responsible because that is what we do. We hang out our dirty laundry for the entire world to see. We move on. That's one of the reasons we are hated so much. We don't hide this stuff like all those Arab countries that are now demanding an apology. Deep down inside, when most Americans saw this reported in the news, we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few prisoners. Sure, it was wrong, sure, it dramatically hurts our cause, but until captured we were trying to kill these same prisoners. Now, we're supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated? Our compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed, mutilated and burnt amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujahans. If you want an apology from this American, you're going to have a long wait! You have a better chance of finding those seventy-two virgins.

4. Fw: "EZ" - A smart way to vote!" Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Wed Jul 26, 2006 1:04 pm (PDT) et al.: So you'll all know why..... Eugene (Gene) Zarwell Vote "EZ" in Maryland - "A smart way to vote!" ----- Original Message ----- From: GZarwell To: weekendtoday@nbc.com ; Today@NBC.com ; 11news@TheWBALChannel.com ; newsroom@scripps.com ; Nightly@NBC.com ; info@ap.org Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 2:58 PM Subject: "EZ" - A smart way to vote!" NEWS RELEASE Release: Thursday, July 13, 2006 Contact: Gene “EZ” Zarwell - “A smart way to vote” 301.262.5064 1gzarwell@ccconline.net A SMART WAY TO VOTE Bowie, Maryland, USA (13/0706); Maryland’s, current media designated, perennial candidate, Gene “EZ” Zarwell on this year’s Comptroller ballot - today reminded media to keep plugging “EZ pass” as “a smart way to go”. EZ pass is available in several states for quick and speedy access to toll roads and bridge crossings. Zarwell who whose given name at birth some m…y year’s ago has those initials “EZ” that has generated questions like: “Are you?”; “Is that why you make things look and sound easy?”; or, “You’re easy to get to know, let’s keep in touch”. By the way, vote Gene “EZ” Zarwell is “a smart way to vote” that could make your financial future easy as well. Campaigning in his seventh run for public office, Zarwell explained that when people want responsibility, accountability, credibility, and integrity to make their goals legitimate, they usually wind up calling him. He said, “no contract necessary. If people can’t look him straight from eye to eye with a hand shake, he won’t consider their proposals.” “Contracts, he added, “only tell you why you won’t get paid. Generally, two lawyers get rich before you do.” This is one of many reasons why voters should look for Gene “EZ” Zarwell on their ballots to assure responsible, accountable government will spend taxpayer dollars legitimately. He believes that when taxpayer monies are generated from small businesses and private sector jobs, then public sector performance should be liable for fiscal abuse and fraud – no immunity for misusing public funds from productive taxpayer efforts. Zarwell outlined several positions as reasons for running in 2006; (1) transit reform from costly experimental technology to cost effective private sector licensing; (2) fiscal control to assure contingency funds accumulate for emergencies as well as assure infrastructure repairs (not caused by faulty or inferior materials) meet or exceed taxpayer expectations without cost overruns or contract add-on; (3) creating user friendly taxpayer interfaces with government without denying services to less fortunate non-taxpayers; (4) transition from non-accountable voting processes to very secure accountable voting procedures with traceable results and middle finger purple ink will provide immediate recounts be available (under his program using current technology he knows real votes can be secured without challengeable results); and (5), taxpayer monies will be used to meet population growth requirements with schools, roads, and communications when private sector gross state product reaches a higher level than legislative three “E’s”: expenditures, earmarks, and entitlements. Many agree with him that a vote for Gene “EZ” Zarwell will bring experienced fiscal management to Maryland’s government as a result of his many years resolving fiscal problems in federal government, corporations in diverse industries, and small businesses around the world on three major continents. He is also intimately aware of financial ID theft, Internet spam/Spyware, immigration law with its associated perceptions; and judicial fraud [Noticesoffindings.info] on every level within our court system. He is well recognized for his integrity, honesty, and forthrightness in his views and opinions as expressed through over four years of “CoffeeTalks” at coffeetalks@yahoogroups.com and republished on his website [gzarwell.com] link to [coffeetalks]. Zarwell wants your one vote, which is exactly how many he can cast on his own behalf. In 2002, he received 150 percent of votes in all counties and the city of his closest opposition in Maryland’s Republican primary and a more than a traditional Republican 39 percent vote against reigning Governor/Baltimore Mayor Wm. Donald Schaefer who replaced former Comptroller Louis Goldstein in 1998 in a weakly contested campaign. See – it is “A Smart way to Vote!” -30- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

3. "don't dip your pen in company ink!" Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Sun Jul 2, 2006 7:10 pm (PDT) et al.: After last elections' fiasco, I conducted a three-year investigation into voter fraud in Maryland . Results are astonishing and it starts right at the top. Not only condoned by Senate President Tom V. Mike Miller, it is ignored or covered up by Attorneys General J. Joseph Curran, Jr, and his collusion partners. State Elections Board hierarchy is literally sleeping with the developer and manufacturer of the voting machine allowing software errors - yeh really! - to fester into our freedom to vote. Don't need any purple ink on your middle finger in this state. What's the old saying, "don't dip your pen in company ink!" First step is registration fraud listing 88 percent of Registering Republicans onto Democratic rolls. In other words when you register or change any information in your voter registration, you will be automatically, via the software, converted to Democratic registration and given a Democratic ballot on primary day. That then is automatically transferred to your General election ballot before you ever show up at the polls. How did I find out originally? In 2002, I requested an absentee ballot after registering in Prince George's County transferring from Anne Arundel County. When it arrived before my departure to Russia, I was astonished that it was a Democratic ballot . I complained and was reissued a Republican Ballot where my name appeared as candidate for Comptroller. I did win every county and the City that year while in Russia. Went on to finish with over 700,000 votes combined, but not enough to overcome the automatic Democratic vote. Good thing Dems didn't like KKT that year and looks good that Curran's son-in-law might not be in favor too much longer either. Family indictments. Here's how investigative inquiries began: In September 2002, my car's battery went dead when I left my headlights on while shopping at Fort Meade's commissary. Management, there, made an announcement asking if anybody lived near my home that could assist me getting my frozen foods home. A neighbor responded, helped load up my food stuffs and drove me home. I went back later with cables and my other car, another friend drove, and we retrieved my foul - weather car and other non-frozen stuff. As I introduced myself and told him about my ballot incident, he said he would have voted for me, but when entering his polling place in Prince George's County, he was told that he had already voted. Mind you, he's at management level for NSA. You know the spy palace. Now, they tell me I'm not registered in Prince George's County - However, I did again on June 15th - bet it won't show until after July third to prevent filing candidacy. It didn't take a genius to trace and learn details of how Maryland votes are generously spread around to local Democratic candidates, especially in PG, MC and Baltimore city/county to keep incumbent's incumbent. You bet there are kickbacks to a few from vendors or other favors including perhaps, vice-versus, contract add-on. How do we stop fraudulent voting - every Republican should request absentee ballots in our Primary election and keep a copy of their submitted ballot. Reason for absentee, is unavailability to vote early enough to preclude surrogate voters, duh, assuring your vote will be cast by you; plus your copy will help facilitate a recount in all local races. Now, I know how difficult Linda Lamone's job is combating agency fraud. Although perpetrated in county offices, it is directed from above. Maybe we can beat dem Dems at their own game. How remarkable would that be if our State House overturned in one cycle! Eugene (Gene) Zarwell Vote "EZ" in Maryland - "A smart way to vote!" |

1. What a ditz! Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:47 pm (PDT) et al.: Congresswomen Pelosi must be high on something to state a Democratic platform raising costs for everyone except those who don't pay taxes. What kind of a budget planner would increase minimum wage to a taxable level leaving recipients with less money than a $5 wage. Solution is to make minimum wage earners tax exempt on overtime, vacation, and second job wages. Solution is not raising small business costs and increase reporting requirements forcing them out of business. Only conclusion I can up with is that most small business owners must be Republican 'cause Democrats get paid by Congress to not work according to her plan.. Slashing interest rates on student loans is a not a solution to increase intelligence levels. What is needed is realistic pricing of education as with pharmaceuticals to force costs down as we revalue dollars to give wage earners/consumers more purchasing power from their earnings. Tax deductions unless 100% of expenditure aren't worth discussing as an option. What she needs to do is reduce taxes on educational institutions and decrease government grants for those institutions that cannot graduate 85 percent of first year enrollees. She seems to think seniors need to be put ahead of HMO's and Pharmaceutical companies when in fact we must bar members of Congress from accepting shares of stock from lobbyists plus billions of dollars of perks to keep prices high on toxic pills. Maybe her wealthy vineyards keep her from reality. Members of Congress should reimburse taxpayers for every dollar given them to derail or create programs that return nothing to the general fund including their inflated salaries and expense accounts. Several members have complained about their lack of time to serve while spending 85 percent raising campaign contributions from lobbyists and constituents. According to the law: Working on other than taxpayer business while in office is a violation of their contract. So, a $160,000 salary should be reduced to $24,000 which exceeds the dollar's buying of $12-$14 by almost three percent when compared with 1950 dollars at 98 percent value. Pelosi's new direction is nothing more than a list of non-issues that would never make it into a budget because she has no depth in her message. Her mirrors must've broke when looking into them. It is obvious she hasn't been listening or reading this past week about how our media is in awe of what progress has been made in Iraq even though they tried their best to derail Bush Administration programs. When she projects: "2006 must be a year of significant transition. It is time for a new direction in Iraq." I guess for her it would to turn back time and ignore potential threats as Clintons did. Perhaps her pharmaceuticals are street variety. What a ditz! Gene Vote EZ in Maryland "A smart way to vote" Eugene Zarwell |

2. behind the dumpster. Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:47 pm (PDT) et al.: Two days later, media supports American efforts quietly praising President Bush and his administration for getting it right. Confirmed by our allies and enemy, but challenged by our media. Precisely at that same time, Congress takes up two days of non-issue debate about rapid withdrawal under the guise of "support the mission not just the troops". This is what we pay them to do - build campaign rhetoric while we listen to how foolish Dem philosophy is and how inane our Republican delegations in Congress waste our time to feed gibberish to national and International media. That debate probably cost those three members in chambers several thousands of dollars in campaign contributions. This is a slow time in campaign funding raising, too! So, that means when they go back at end of summer, they will have to spend more time brown bagging it with lobbyists behind the dumpster to make up for it. While our economy grows, our global strength builds, and world leaders again look to US resolve to address Iranian, Korean, Palestinian, and African Continental problems, our news anchors instead of praising our President, commentate with spin; stating: 'while our President tries to build confidence in his administration...yadda, yadda, yadda.... Shame on you Charlie Gibson for not reporting the news as it is, but create doubt as you would like it to be. I believed you to be better than that! Terry Moran is becoming a credible anchor because he sticks to facts. I don't think I ever heard him add a side remark to news. Granted news shows are for entertainment to create revenue streams. Unfortunately some people believe what they see and hear without enough experience to see a big picture or through distorted rhetoric - they're usually polled on Monday. I noted aclu received copies of an Iraqi investigation after-action report and declared - "Both the Formica and the Jacoby report demonstrate that the government is really not taking the investigation of detainee abuse seriously," said Amrit Singh, an aclu attorney (Four "the's" fog factor in one sentence confirms she is a lawyer). Singh called the reports "a whitewash" and questioned why they only focused on a limited number of incidents." This comes from an organization that holds our Constitution hostage to its distorted view of life styles, inequity of freedoms, and intimidates or corrupts our Judicial system not withstanding stripping away our Religious freedoms - the precepts of American Democracy - in favor of unhealthy, uninterested, and inhuman philosophy similar to failing European liberal societies where family is something that happens and government controls your initiative. Sounds dreadfully familiar to an earlier Century's philosophy under two Eastern European tyrants - maybe three, can I add a few third world nations as well. Predictions - I'm optimistic that we will get it together before Korea and Iran exercise their "right" as they put it. I think aclu will find a home on a continent somewhere on Earth for equality for everyone at expense of a few. Oops, they need someone to generate capital. Awe, it won't work. No corrupt judge would leave America. Our challenge is to make sure ... ( send me your conclusion) Gene Vote EZ (pass) in Maryland - "It's a smart thing to do!" Eugene (EZ) Zarwell |

3. accountable - responsible and liable. Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Jun 16, 2006 3:30 pm (PDT) et al.: Success and progress in Iraq's democracy less than four years seems slow to many. Of course they don't reflect on those thirty or so years it took America's founders to get in writing once they had that resolve. Great credit should be given President Bush for not only delivering his promise, but also for verifying to make sure that policy was not only working, but acceptable to those who will benefit. World leaders all recognize US resolve is exactly what this globe needs to counter terrorism. Bush caught media off-guard as well. Seeing Bush sitting along-side Iraq's elected Prime Minister as they discussed Iraq's future, then listening to media questions of why it was secret certainly did dispel media myths of failure. I give our President credit for not sticking his head outside a hatch in a motor convoy. He didn't put any of his entourage at risk. As President Bush discussed his conversations saying that both leaders wanted Iraq's government to be corruption free and representative of the people, I immediately thought that it would nice here at home as well. Perhaps we should re-form our government, too! While media shows death from insurgents, Iraq's leaders have established a democratic government eager to be self sustaining while realizing they still need various levels of support in training; certainly infrastructure repairs, and marketing of their valuable oil production. Is media blind? If they cannot not see what is happening - then why should we let them see or let them distort with presupposed news headlines through narrow lenses and biased reporting. When a President must remind those media that their questions are based upon their wishful thinking that Iraqi's don't care, based upon insurgency PR rather than fact, they cowered with timid questions without much substance. Yes, President Bush was in charge as everyone in that Rose Garden press conference knew. Even top anchors couldn't bash Bush without looking like idiots off script. Now, we get to listen to them spin their cynicism for about a week. |

4. appears to reinforce American and Iraqi arguments Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Fri Jun 16, 2006 3:30 pm (PDT) et al.: An AP story worth reading. Guess American news media just didn't want us to know. Or maybe, they just don't have all that expertise to out-guess our President. Makes you wonder what other news stories are distorted for profit - prophet!! Jun 15, 11:04 AM (ET) By SAMEER N. YACOUB BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A blueprint for trying to start a war between the United States and Iran was among a "huge treasure" of documents found in the hideout of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi officials said Thursday. The document, purporting to reflect al-Qaida policy and its cooperation with groups loyal to ousted President Saddam Hussein, also appear to show that the insurgency in Iraq was weakening. The al-Qaida in Iraq document was translated and released by Iraqi National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie. There was no way to independently confirm the authenticity of the information attributed to al-Qaida. Although the office of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the document was found in al-Zarqawi's hideout following a June 7 airstrike that killed him, U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said the document had in fact been found in a previous raid as part of an ongoing three-week operation to track al-Zarqawi. "We can verify that this information did come off some kind of computer asset that was at a safe location," he said. "This was prior to the al-Zarqawi safe house." The document also said al-Zarqawi planned to try to destroy the relationship between the United States and its Shiite allies in Iraq. While the coalition was continuing to suffer human losses, "time is now beginning to be of service to the American forces and harmful to the resistance," the document said. The document said the insurgency was being hurt by, among other things, the U.S. military's program to train Iraqi security forces, by massive arrests and seizures of weapons, by tightening the militants' financial outlets, and by creating divisions within its ranks. "Generally speaking and despite the gloomy present situation, we find that the best solution in order to get out of this crisis is to involve the U.S. forces in waging a war against another country or any hostile groups," the document said, as quoted by al-Maliki's office. According to the summary, insurgents were being weakened by operations against them and by their failure to attract recruits. To give new impetus to the insurgency, they would have to change tactics, it added. "We mean specifically attempting to escalate the tension between America and Iran, and American and the Shiite in Iraq," it quoted the documents as saying, especially among moderate followers of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most influential Shiite cleric in Iraq. "Creating disputes between America and them could hinder the U.S. cooperation with them, and subsequently weaken this kind of alliance between Shiites and the Americans," it said, adding that "the best solution is to get America involved in a war against another country and this would bring benefits." They included "opening a new front" for the U.S. military and releasing some of the "pressure exerted on the resistance." It pointed to clashes in 2004 between U.S. forces and followers of radical anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi army militia as evidence of the benefits of such a strategy. Al-Sadr and his growing followers are among the fiercest advocates of a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. It said the "results obtained during the struggle between U.S. army and al-Mahdi army is an example of the benefits to be gained by such struggle." Al-Maliki's office said the document provides "the broad guidelines of the program of the Saddamists and the takfiris inside al-Zarqawi's group." "Takfiri" is a reference to an extremist ideology that urges Muslims to kill anyone they consider an infidel, even fellow Muslims. It is the ideology that many Iraqis, especially in the Shiite community, use to describe al-Zarqawi and his followers. The language contained in the document was different from the vocabulary used by al-Qaida statements posted on the Web. For example, it does not refer to the Americans as "Crusaders" nor use the term "rejectionists" to allude to Shiites. Much of what is in the statement from al-Rubaie echoes results that the U.S. military and the Iraqi government say they are seeking. It also appears to reinforce American and Iraqi arguments that al-Qaida in Iraq and its operatives are a group of imported extremists bent on killing innocent civilians. Al-Qaida in Iraq has been blamed for thousands of deaths, hundreds of bombings, kidnappings and assassinations in the past three years. Al-Qaida in Iraq's own hatred of the Shiites is well-documented and al-Zarqawi has repeatedly called on Sunnis to rise up and kill them. ------------------------------------------------------- Let's take a poll at how many believe print news media? How many believe radio news media? How many believe television news media? If no one answers, my guess is that no one believes our media, except maybe al-Qaida. Gene www.gzarwell.com |

2. Online voting Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Thu Jun 15, 2006 5:17 am (PDT) et al.: Here's a 2002 copyrighted idea of mine that has been presented before. It is worth repeating. Internet voting will work when coupled with middle finger ink dips at polling places. Think about it! Computers can match identities within seconds using encrypted script where records from election boards can be compared with online registration similar to bank security programs. Several global banks have highly secure, but simple user programs to verify individual accounts. Banks like Barclays, ABN, CitiBank, USAA, SunCorpMetway, and PayPal all have different unique features that are user friendly offering DoD or IMF confidence. Election boards can issue ID cards with photos when intended voters register in person at a Driver's License office or at/through USPS similar to applying for a passport (mail in application with a passport photo to FEC or local Election board). Program subsidies from FEC and/or state Election Boards would provide no cost personal appearance applications while mail-in would require cost of photo at local provider. Temporary pin codes from issuing office would be sent to each registered voter two days after their card is created, dispatched or as with Driver's License, issued on the spot. These pin codes would be sent to voter registered address. Voters could activate their "voter account" online or via phone to confirm/change (personalize) their pin number. They could also disclose at that time whether or not they want to declare any party affiliation or remain independent. Many would probably prefer to declare party affiliation within days of primary voting anyway. Advantages, neither party would have access to registered voter lists until after deadline to register has passed. Independent's would not be hounded by either party and media polls could not be speculated. In that way we eliminate any possibility to persuade incompetence, intimidate concerned, or destroy competent candidates before voters decide. It should also be illegal for any party to disclose party membership lists without first entering into an agreement with each registered member. Obviously, media could run news stories about declared candidates who filed before deadline, but paid advertising would be restricted until after voter registration was closed prior to an election. I could suggest that candidates not disclose their party affiliation, but many do not for fear of losing votes due to party philosophies. Perhaps everyone will vote if they believe it will count. A big benefit from online voting is assurance that registered individuals would vote, not surrogates. Another benefit is that election boards could screen those few voters who would go to a polling place with photo Id with/without a personal pin to activate at machine there. That's if we want real; votes to determine an election. Biggest benefit is that elections could become more gentile and encourage real, qualified individuals to seek elected public service as opposed to risking their wealth, career, and reputation as is happening in current public service stints.

4. It takes experience to know experience. Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Sun Jun 11, 2006 3:04 pm (PDT) et al.: "Reid Calls for More Intelligence Oversight" - what is needed is more insight as to where "Intelligence" exists in his party. In recent months/years, Democrats have shown very little respect for "Intelligence" - proving that they not only lack it, they have no idea what is, or how to protect it. Heading up their "Intelligence" - Political, that is, is Howard Dean who spends seconds creating inane unintelligent remarks. And, today, yes today, Grover Norquist accused Republican front-runner John McCain of flip floppin' just like Kerry, confirming again that no former or current member serving on Capitol Hill has any resolve to be President. Then there's those outspoken idiots who think emotional outbursts and vague innuendo constitutes "intelligence". Astute members of Congress such as: Reid's team and compatriots: Kennedy, Kerry, Durbin, Clinton, and Levin. I don't believe anyone of them has had enough life experience outside of graft and corruption to understand what constitutes intelligence, let alone oversee it. It seems intelligence has been overlooked by Democrats for so long that they fail to gain any. They favor non-issue emotional outbursts without substantial "intelligence." Democrats with some proximity to "Intelligence" are few. You can look to Lieberman and Biden who have enough sense to state what they know about an issue and admit after long debate that they really don't know what they're talking about. Kerry, Edwards and Kennedy on the other hand open up with admissions of not knowing what they are talking about, continuing with nonsense just to keep air-heads on air waves. Edwards says, now, that he is "out of politics" he understands what he didn't intelligently know when he was representing us, while Hillary constantly proves over and over again that she just doesn't have any ...(clue - intelligence - sense - understanding - or sincerity -etc.), but is always right there to sound stupid (intelligent) on current events. Credibly, Bob Schieffer discussed with General Casey, current situations in Iraq. Contrary to his counterparts on other networks, Schieffer was impressed with a very candid assessment of increased respect for American efforts and remarkable progress by Iraqis to govern and build an enormous military that is capable of securing their country. Casey also, made it perfectly clear that Bush policy, to support those Iraqi forces with training, equipment, and field support will fare better than immediate withdrawal. This is how you fight insurgencies, not cut and run like several verbose, vocal members of Congress and recalcitrant retired or removed Generals want just because they had no clue about how to do their jobs while there. This is a far cry from network news editing to build stories defeating American resolve and distorting accomplishments of our, yes our, troops who risk everything to help Iraqi security forces defeat terrorists, insurgents, and secular warriors while rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure and neighborhoods including hospitals, schools and commercial outlets. It is good to see network news wars fighting for viewers on behalf of two great broadcast news anchors. I'm writing about Charles Gibson, a humble, honest, and experienced news personality vs. Bob Schieffer, a humble, honest, and experienced news Chief. Each has had tough assignments, field experience, and can actually write news - the old reporter way - with substantiated facts, targeted word choices that support reality rather than perceived conclusions. Having those two on evening news will make all those other pretty faces and chat room flakes appear to be inexperienced, unenlightened, and self important instead of credible news anchors with respect for truth and fact - as opposed to innuendo, snide remarks, and slanted word choices. Congratulations to Leon Harris for his award as "Best Anchor" in Washington News circles. It just proves that chat room comments and one-upsmanship can have a last word in a market that knows no credibility. Doug Hill says it right - only one reason keeps people turning into dinner-time news - they want to know what tomorrow's weather will be and Channel 7 does that best. Ok, Tim Brant reports sports with enthusiasm, too, not like other stations that have no understanding of sports or understand that special sport mentality. It takes experience to know experience.

1. Now, that's a precedent! Posted by: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net g_zarwell Date: Sun Jun 11, 2006 6:03 am (PDT) et al.: Time is now short for a decision to run a 2006 campaign. I will enter before month's end but have been vacillating between several seats. Odds are that I will probably enter another race in which I won every county and Baltimore city in a primary receiving more votes than any Republican has against an opponent in a one-on-one run. Citing a real non-issue this week was Ann Coulter who addressed a misuse of funds back in 2001. Although, she riled benefactors, they seem not to be grateful for what American taxpayers gave up so they could feel warm and fuzzy about financial support - instead they reveled in their unearned wealth while millions of others were left to overcome financial losses due to destroyed files and transaction records. Those others never complained while building a thick skin fighting financial crisis after financial crisis. Unfortunately, instant wealth generates greed and false security 'cause people cannot cope with prudent financial responsibility. What is most disturbing is that many who became instant 9-11 millionaires turned their backs on their government who saw fit to compensate their loss from deep sympathy setting a very unhealthy precedent. When my father died from an railroad accident while working as a railway mail clerk, sorting and delivering mail between Chicago and St. Paul, my mother got a single death payment and no access to his government pension. He was a World War II Vet. Now, that's a precedent! I feel more sympathy for our vets, me being one, who will be affected for many years through mishandling of our sensitive financial records. And, we are, as media reported, supposed to be satisfied with a $1,000 payment just because we number 26 million who preserved American life styles and defended our nation from foreign attacks on our soil. As media reports, 26 million service members at risk should receive $1,000 equaling $26 Billion in comparison with 3,500 living 9-11 victims times $1.5 Million receiving approximately $5,250,000,000 (5.25 Billion). Question is where's the equity? Most hurricane Katrina victims received more taxpayer aid than our service members will get for their self-less service and career dedication. They too, Katrina victims, don't appreciate it. With all this financial gibberish, you probably are thinking I should run a campaign like I did in 2002. In 2004, I ran a campaign trying to beat Democrats in all races, but Maryland Republicans weren't ready for a consolidated, coordinated party victory. Perhaps this year with National funding, we can; that is, unless all that money will be used for one-campaign. Several months ago, my media friends told me I should be the Republican white-guy in replacing Sarbanes because they felt Cardin would be "Dem candidate" in waiting rather than Kwasi M. Fume. Cardin is formidable, but just as unknown outside West Baltimore. Now, that decision offers nothing more than a seat in our self-important Senate where most potential Presidential candidates are now realizing, is more a liability than an asset, so my feeling is that you're stuck with Steele who can tout his experience in law through his settlement with Mike Tyson for his sister and hanging onto the Guv's coat tails. Even Senator/Governor George Allen of Virginia is distancing himself from his Senate role with an ad to pump up his image of spending more money on his constituents in home state Virginia. What was that all about - a wolf in sheep's clothing? My advise, don't mock John Edwards from North Carolina in his distancing from Kerry. I am impressed that both Guv's Schaefer and Mandel ('70's friends of mine) got together with Guv Erhlich in promoting EZ passes. Use that EZ pass often and remember at election time vote EZ on your ballot -- EZ are initials for Eugene Zarwell. I was born with that moniker and it is part of my legacy as a tail number (N711EZ) on my airplane used to travel to and train military recruiters on how to build our all-volunteer Army from 1976 to 1989. Congratulations go to our troops for securing their target and giving Iraqi's a fighting chance to beat insurgencies. Hopefully, this first domino will continue .... Now, that's a precedent!

Message 3 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Mon May 29, 2006 4:37pm(PDT) Subject: GOD Bless your legacy! et al.: Remember our Veterans. Many are old and more have passed on with many more to follow. It seems only those families that have had someone lost in war remember what Memorial day is really all about. Most seem to think it is a party weekend welcoming summer. Thank GOD those who care about those who don't have preserved our freedom or what's left of it. Cold war over. Now, we have terrorism. Predicted to raise it's ugly head after major leaders declared peace. Earthling's greatest fear is not fear itself anymore, but self-destruction. There is no future time to rein in political corruption than that opportunity afforded us this year. No more voter "chads", no more substitute voters, no more votes for those who take other than private contributions, no more direct contact with singled out members of Congress by benefactors. Pray we get it right - tamper-proof ID cards (photos, fingerprints and passwords) for everyone to prevent a spread of ID thefts financially, and "electorally". Expansion of computer applications to screen unwanted mail, secure our privacy and force credibility at the polls, while we search for political leaders with resolve, experience and moral fiber. Create a Government that saves our money and uses it in good faith as it is given by taxpaying citizens. A justice system that protects our rights with truth and honesty instead of circumvention and technicalities challenged under fire and fraud. Some of our greatest institutions have lost their worth. Credit bureaus no longer protect creditors or borrowers. They just destroy each other. Congress doesn't work for us anymore, just their retirement and re-election. Media gets it wrong while undermining our National morality with skewed polls to see if they can get numbers from enough people to agree with their misperceptions. Take time to reflect on how our country earned its greatness. It was our resolve that humanity needed freedom to succeed under "Ten Commandments' retrieved from a mountain top. A golden rule that told us " treat others as we would want them to treat us." Under great stress I cannot treat others as they treat me - I'm just not that greedy or selfish. Maybe strong winds and fair seas this year will wave our flag for all to see again as we all try to make a difference to indifference. /// * * * * * * * /////////////////////// ///// * * * * * //////////////////////// //// * * * * * * ///////////////////// /////// * * * * * * * //////////////////////////// //// * * * * * //////////////////// ///////// * * * * * * /////////////////////////////// * * * * * * * //////////////// /// * * * * * /////////////////////////////////////// //// * * * * * *//////////////// ///// ///////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////// /////// /// ///////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////// //////// //// ///////////////////////////////// //// GOD Bless you; and, GOD Bless your legacy!

Message 1 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Thu May 25, 2006 1:49am(PDT) Subject: Capital Hill - Home of Congre$$ et al.: Some thinks to thunk over! ACLU executives aren't intimidated by anonymous phone pattern listings as much as they are about having people identify themselves as victims of phone abuse. Who in their right mind would add their name to a list of people who are ashamed of how they conduct their lives? As much as they claim to be on our side, ACLU represents everything American forefathers despised. So why don't we just hang them for treason and not put up with their building an income stream while destroying democracy with their foolish "political correctness", anti-freedom, secular society with no hope. It would be my guess that it is they who have executives working at TRSA to uncover our undercover agents. Putting my life at risk for boarding an airplane behind an uncovered agent wearing two laminated badges outside his shirt and coat, plus dressed like a 1950's family man without a family, boarding early so we can all verify that he is front and aisle to protect us knowing he is only one of several gun toting passengers who can be compromised doesn't make me feel that comfortable. Perhaps, more screening of TRSA executives is required to assure we have security people on our side protecting us. With identity theft becoming a daily event, perhaps we need to change identity procedures. I liked the Idea of tamper-proof ID cards for illegal aliens. Can I get one so when Veterans Administration loses my records again, I can get mortgage benefits, health benefits and not lose my credit worthiness for the close to 20 bogus banks seeking me to repay debt never incurred. Growing up, I trusted government. Today, it seems our most major breeches come from that very same government. First they don't make good on their agreements, then they modify legal documents to prevent restitution, and then give identities away while changing laws to allow lawyers without clients buy bad debt from identity thieves to sue those victimized by identity theft. Seems identity theft must be perpetrated by lawyers and lawyer-legislators to build retirement income in addition to their 100% entitlement for 7.8 weeks per year. Do I have to identify these honest individuals who work so hard for our loyal lobbyists always looking out for our best interests. You know that's sarcasm, right? Ok! I'll tell you I writing about our representatives on the hill - unfortunately not the Jesse James on boot hill, but close - Capital Hill. Yes, I know I spelled wrong, but it just seems more appropriate today. More so then, politically correct spelling with an "A". If you thunk it out, tell me, or answer some questions on my online survey at www.gzarwell.com/survey.html. By the way I know who I want for President in 2008. A clue - he hasn't declared yet, is not a member of Congress, and is not an instant hero for 15 minutes. Gene www.gzarwell.com |

Message 4 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Wed May 24, 2006 3:44am(PDT) Subject: tamper-proof ID cards et al.: I endorse Bob Schieffer's suggestions to make several assumed monuments as national monuments honoring (1) George Washington as First President; (2) Grant's Tomb reinforcing our understanding that it is Ulysses Grant who is buried there; and (3) that our Nation's Capitol building be a shrine or monument to ineffectiveness, bickering and deceit. Although, not all his words, it was his concept based upon a lame duck Congress who fails to take on tough issues that affect our well being, security, and economy. As he points out, we will hear more non-issues in these next 16 months, so those "lame ducks" can get face-time for re-election. After all, if they can come up with a new law, they will attach more "ear marks" and pork for their loyal Lobbyists. What is needed in Congress is real people! A lobbyist free zone - 25 mile radius from our Nation's Capitol - restricted media access within that radius, and repeal/revision of the "Freedom of Information Act". Enforcement of treason for publishing classified information and non-disclosure of sources. Remember the Rosenberg's? We need to get Federal legislators out of State business; recall State Federal ATM cards, as well as reassess every law on the books to assure only those that are enforceable remain. Today, we have egotistical, greedy bastards like Kennedy, Kerry, Feingold, and Feinstein driving agendas to make Lobbyists more important than taxpayers. There are very few elected representatives that understand we taxpayers entrusted our money to them for which they screw us. I realize those mentioned above are all Democrats (there is a question of what Hillary is), but Republicans are not completely exonerated. If they get their act together they could probably make a difference. Currently, only President Bush seems to risk questionable approval ratings on tough decisions while others watch weighted polls from media who prepare audiences several days before polling them on non-issues. It reminds me of seminars where you tell people what they should think; and then, quiz them on how they remember what you told them to think. I might add that those more vocal members of Congress are usually those who violate our trust. More words to explain means that they don't believe what they're saying. John Edwards who after failing on the big stage, failed to protect his seat, now says that being back in North Carolina gives him better insight into what our nation needs. Got news for him. He should watch BBC to see how we are perceived globally. When asked what he now knew - he circumvented the question - typical lawyer. Better would be he keep his mouth closed and concentrate on returning all those legal fees for costly fraudulent class-action suits that made billions of dollars for lawyers and tens of thousands of dollars split between millions of victims. Several CoffeeTalks ago, I offered a list, sent to me, of all our taxes that didn't exist one-hundred years ago. Our government worked for us without deficits. Now, they tax us on everything, cannot operate - all while they grow our multi-trillion dollar debt. Government encourages us to save our money for retirement while setting examples opposing those concepts. Congressional members campaign for our votes asking for more of our money to squander on media and then to put us into debt with over-priced programs they neither believe in nor support as long as it benefits their lobbyist friends; as long as they get shares, residuals, campaign money, or jobs for their relatives. Remember, it is because of Congressional and media shareholders through pharmaceutical lobbyists that we have extremely high medical costs supported by HMO's who don't pay medical professionals for services who then sue patients unknowingly thinking their insurance company paid those bills, that millions of people default on their mortgages and credit card debt. See how lawyers get into that as well. Bank of America came up with that idea to offer credit to consumers. Other banks abused that opportunity, over emphasized how you can temporarily improve your life style - until your multiple refi's and high penalty interest rates destroy your capability to pay off debt. See, lawyers wrote bills as members of Congress encouraging debt while forming a Federal Reserve to regulate that. Unfortunately, that agency doesn't oversee Congressional debt. Then, in Congressional wisdom, they retroactively change statutes of limitations to ruin those who were effected by credit fraud and failures of government to pay their debt. I guess this was to help rouge attorney's make more money by suing everyone who ever owed money to someone else. Lawyers believe they have a right to your old debt without proof of debt. Never mind that most debt was written off by principal creditors, sold to dumb attorneys whose practice is intimidation. Third party debt collectors have no right to your past agreements with your creditors - bankruptcy or not. In most cases, state statutes of limitation are exhausted before they buy that perceived debt, so through intimidation they can get you to reopen a dead account if you inquire about what debt they are pursuing. After all, lawyers made fortunes selling bankruptcy to people just to write off less than $10,000 of credit card debt. Let alone, they fail to address how they created that market with dumb stipulations in contracts allowing contractors to default on paying those contracts. There is no reason anymore to trust anybody in a financial transaction today. For every contract written, it is so stated how lawyers will collect more money than you will, how that person requesting a contract will default if you satisfy their requirements. It starts with our Federal Government and trickles down from Congress to every lawyer envisioning a piece of your "wealth" or all of it if they can intimidate you enough. As I listen to discussions about immigration and suggestions for a tamper-proof ID card for illegal aliens, I can only suggest that an amendment be attached requiring tamper-proof photo-voter ID cards for registered voters. They better be color coded so those aliens with green cards don't confuse them with driver's licenses, social security cards, healthcare ID's, or photo-voter IDs. How come Congress has to debate immigration anyway? Laws are there. Documentation to apply doesn't require a competent lawyer. Technology can screen quickly, and legitimacy can be established through attached verifications. Just enforce current law without any pork attached. Every American city government has a desire to improve ridership on their public transportation Do you think they should come up with a low cost working system? Some countries have subways, trolleys, trams, accordion buses, vans, and taxis all providing quick, inexpensive, concurrent services. In America we build a system - charge $5.00. Several systems around the world move millions of people from home to work at less than $.50 equivalent per ride. Most amazingly, though, is that private auto traffic moves, too! Resolving that debacle is simple and requires foresight rather than hindsight. High-tech solutions not needed - just entrepreneurship, licensing of private sector providers, and developing convenient routes with regulated pricing. Call me for details on this one.

Message 9 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Wed May 24, 2006 3:47am(PDT) Subject: lunch tabs with Lobbyists et al.: Assessments of Congressional performance during General Hayden's interrogation. It seems members of Congress are bent on telling their constituents how dumb they really are. One after another said he/she wasn't read into CIA or NSA secrets and felt their public appearances could benefit from disclosure of secret operations, strategies, and tactics. They claimed they learned more about spy operations from media reports and probably ABC's "Alias". There is one body of Government that cannot be briefed on clandestine foreign operations and covert domestic operations for lack of compliance to their security clearances. It is both junior classes (those members not in leadership positions) of The Senate and The House Intelligence Committees. If they have any valuable information of our security intelligence they're willing to share it with media reps as "Government sources" just to prove to themselves they are intelligent and have more knowledge than their constituents. Columnist Tom Oliphant confirmed that and was upset that details of operational security programs were not disclosed so hacks like him can't distort, misinform, and over-state security risks due to leaks. Reminded me of James Carvel's approach to emotionalizing for mouth exercises "on air". If they don't tell, some YUPPIE in their office is willing to compromise on his/her behalf. They talk about leaks - from the horse's mouth. It is wise for General Hayden to request closed session questions to not demonstrate or illustrate how and why Congressional members are not considered trustworthy advocates of American security as they constantly push for privacy of constituents, but not for our agencies who secure that right for all of us. Senators like Wisconsin's Feingold who asked one question fifty different ways for face time on news and others like Oregon's idiot, Wydon, who cannot make a point without implying he doesn't get it except from "Newsweek", "Time" or "The Washington Post". It is remarkable that Democratic members always misquote a Republican member on sensitive concepts trying to sway their compromises of intelligence to someone else. Wisconsin's Levin only wanted to insert into "The Record" letters he wrote or at one point in his life had read by stating such at end of his final five minutes. How lame? He used my office in Southfield, Michigan to mount his first campaign while I was traveling to media outlets defending our Military from Kerry's fraudulent charges. Levin never reported that "in-kind" on his campaign finance report. He left it a mess, too! Junior members of Congress claim they are not invited to briefings on Intelligence operations failing to cite that they are not available to doing business in Washington [DC], but rather seeking contributions from their lobbyist income streams instead - 85 percent of our time. Each wanted more legislation to fix their inept previous laws - probably so - Maryland's Mikulski could lead efforts to attach more pay raises for her "constituents" and loyal Lobbyists. To be briefed at work you gotta be there! Just one more reason to send them all packing and then vote on a retroactive pay/benefits cut replaced with session by session earning of benefits ILO of gross packaging for first day appearance. All it takes is one newscast showing another IED incident to keep al-Queda alive and growing. Fueled by magazine stories about half information complied by hacks to thwart positive security efforts. American's don't want details, just assurances that they can trust their government's representatives - how can they - nothing's sacred except their lunch tabs with Lobbyists. Yes, General Hayden will be confirmed holding Congressional members to their oath for upholding The Constitution or risk certain consequences. Playing games on TV while disclosing secret operations in guise of "public awareness" is treacherous, treasonous, and foolish knowing satellite communication is instantaneous and lethal to our soldiers as those targets get nervous with less air-time for their "achievements".

Message 3 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Wed May 24, 2006 3:44am(PDT) Subject: Asleep at the Wheel.... et al.: I think this message puts real perspective on this very sticky immigration problem. I am quite familiar with immigration law, now, and we need to fix what was ignored since two Centuries ago. Gene Take time to fill out my survey www.gzarwell.com/ Gene This is from a Hispanic who lives in Texas. He's had a column in the Fort Worth Star Telegram and as you can see, expresses himself very well. ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL I can almost assure you that everyone who is a true American was sickened when you sa w multitudes of protesters carrying Mexican flags protesting the new Immigration Reform Bill in the Senate. This display of Mexican flags should give you a heads up on where these protesters allegiance lies their hearts are in Mexico and their bellies are in the United States. As an American of Mexican Heritage I want to set the record straight, American Hispanics are not all thrilled with illegal immigration. I, for more than 20 years, tried desperately to bring this national debacle to the attention of the American people. I had the privilege of writing for several newspapers, appeared on national and local TV and radio programs, and was asked by many political groups to address this serious problem affecting my former community (north Fort Worth), city, state, and our country. Many will question how I can speak on this subject with some authority. My simple answer is: I lived with the problem! Trust me, it was no picnic. Never in my life (I'm 68) had I witnessed the lawlessness, the deterioration of my community, and the black market criminal underground activities attributed to the influx of illegal immigrants. To add injury to insult, politicians soon caved in to the many demands of illegal immigrants. Notably: bilingual education, bilingual ballots, welfare aid, free medical care, etc. Through all this national disgrace allowed by our politicians, have you all noticed that no one ever blames the useless, corrupt, and disgraceful government of Mexico? In contrast, they lambaste and criticize our country. How does that grab you? When I addressed the dangers of our porous border between Mexico and the United States, and the lax security of our nation, no one paid attention. As I observed the situation, the problem was perceived to be between American Hispanic communities and illegal immigrants.& nbsp; White Americans, it seemed, assumed that the problem was not theirs to deal with. In other words they were, asleep at the wheel. However, 9-11 soon woke them up. Lets be honest with each other here, white Americans vote in far larger numbers than Hispanics do. And most politicians (Democrats and Republicans) in our city, state, and federal governments are white. Thus, who is more suited to fix this national disaster? I'm sure most of you know what the answer is. In summation, I'm pleading with white American voters to join me in sending our politicians (Democrats and Republicans) a strong message that we will not tolerate illegal immigrants telling us how to make government policy that will make it easier for them to break our laws. Hope you will join me in this endeavor in our upcoming elections. James H. Reza 4204 Grand Lake Lake Worth, Texas 76135 Please pass this on...it just might get to the other Veterans and VFW, American Legions and to those that truly believe that we will not give our country away ! |

Message 5 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Wed May 17, 2006 6:01pm(PDT) Subject: Two Choices et al.: Subject: Two Choices What would you do? You make the choice! Don't look for a punch line; There isn't one! Read it anyway. My question to all of you is: Would you have made the same choice? At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children,the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: "When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?" The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. "I believe,that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child."Then he told the following story: Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,"Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps. Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning." Shay struggled over to the team's bench put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his Father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing the other team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The game would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever ran that far but made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions. and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay" Shay reached third base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third" As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those watching were on their feet were screaming , "Shay, run home! Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team. That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his Father so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day! AND, NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people think twice about sharing. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces. If you're thinking about forwarding this message,chances are that you're probably sorting out the people on your address list that aren't the "appropriate" ones to receive this type of message. Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the "natural order of things." So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up that opportunity to brighten the day of those with us the least able, and leave the world a little bit colder in the process? A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them. You now have two choices: 1. Delete 2. Forward May your day, be a Shay Day,sunny today tomorrow & always. Gene www.gzarwell.com |

Message 2 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Wed May 17, 2006 6:00pm(PDT) Subject: No decisiveness. et al.: Well, three weeks away from blogging lets you consider whether or not it's worth writing. Yah, it is. Looking at Washington from a far and witnessing global reports wondering what gives us an edge to teaching democracy when our own Government can't get it right gives one a renewed adrenalin to maybe pursue opportunities to get us back to a positive form of government by the people as we advocate elsewhere. That takes an elected base of experienced, concerned and dedicated representatives of our majority rule, entrepreneurial work ethic, and respect for individuality rather than political correctness for one, sitting back and asking what government can do for you, or buy a member of Congress a good lifetime for he/she and his/her family members. Listening to current members of Congress this weekend wine and apologize for not knowing what's going on in America makes one want to cry. One after another got on television this morning complaining that they didn't understand what NSA programs were doing and why they weren't briefed. They were - through their own network of overseeing. Problem, though, is that they're only overseeing lobbyist's contributions 85 percent of their time and don't have time to learn about what is on their "official" agenda. White House staffers and Executive Branch Government Executives including those Cabinet Secretaries work 24/7 on policies to make government work for us. You know come up with new ways to protect our freedoms while securing our privacy so, we don't get any phone spam from Congressional candidates asking for our tax breaks as contributions to supplement their lobbyist payments. Congressman after Senator complained he/she didn't know what was going on in Washington. Not a really difficult investigation to find out why. They're never there and work less than 15 percent of our time on making our government efficient and cost effective. I misstated that! They work 15 percent of their time trying to learn about complex issues so they can speak intelligently for 90 seconds on a television or radio interview. Most of them can't even tell you what an issue is if asked a follow up question unless a staffer from a lobbyists holds up cue cards. Perhaps they should go to their offices more than 7.8 weeks a year; spend time on our issues, and ask themselves why they cannot represent their constituents interests which is primarily to save our money so we can support our families. As I understand both urgent programs this week, President Bush authorized our NSA to search for phone trails to find terrorists using cell phones from which tracking could be accomplished until Congress and concerned media decided to tip off terrorists. Now they want a Presidential explanation why that program won't work. Duh! Another issue is using National Guard resources to protect our borders. Guess their unit designation didn't tell them why each State has a NATIONAL Guard. Those militia units were formed and authorized to allow Governors to protect their borders, have second echelon responders, and assist in emergency/disaster, and crowd control without having to ask for Federal forces acting under Marshall law. Each state has an Army National Guard with tons of heavy equipment to provide "on-callup" mission experience; as well as, an Air National Guard with aviation assets to provide air support and medical evacuations when needed in times of natural disasters and patrolling airspace or support missions for engaged Air Force units. Listening to Congressmen today, they challenged using National Guard assets (personnel and equipment) to assist or take on border control as a mission. What's going on here? State's pay a fortune to men and women to join their units for that capability to secure their States dominion. Excuse me! Not true. States used to pay for that - Governor's sold out that asset for Federal Dollars. Governor's wanted Federal dollars to pay their units and provide for Federal equipment, thus, control went to Washington - The Pentagon - instead of, as originally organized, to provide a militia to serve state citizens. Arnold is wrong about asking for more Federal dollars because they are funded from Federal coffers. How greedy can a Governor get? Each state has its own requirements for a militia. Some more urgent due to location, others due to weather patterns, and others due to population diversity. Most Governors gave up their militia for dollars. Some used that funding for over priced contracting. Others, fought to keep their units for domestic tragedies, emergency extractions, and civil unrest - not including postal strikes and statewide speeding crack-downs on holidays and during major celebrations. A third issue that received some attention today was that of political appointments of credible individuals. In casual comments everyone attested to Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden's experience, professionalism, and understanding of NSA's operations having been instrumental in restructuring after 9-11. On camera, they say he has to justify their unintelligence about telephone tracking - never mind that they don't understand he created that program securing our privacy and intelligence of where to find terrorist cells. What this country needs is a Cabinet position or another agency made up of 2 representatives from each state and territory who can advise the Executive Branch on what citizens deem is important and deserves national attention from our disorganized, centralized democracy. Yes, I'm aware we have a pseudo representative club designated for that within our Constitution, but they only represent lobbyists who pay them or favor them with shares and favors within an industry or profession that can rape (reap) costly contracts from Congressional oversight. I'm sure a group of legitimate representatives could solve our deficit, infrastructure, private economy, and return government to "We The People" so we can get back on track to that "more perfect union" called a democracy. I can do without those big "D" people who would rather sell us out for vacation homes in Austrian, French or German Alps. Positioning for 2008, I find several old wannabes staking claim to front runner status. Remember, those who helped the Clintons get to Washington wound up in body bags after he won. And, those supporting Congressionals, past and present, went home wondering why they lost. Clue: No decisiveness. Think about it. F.Y.I.: In those last three weeks, I secured a new Mrs. "Z". Perhaps, CIS and INS willing, ya' all, may meet her before election day. Gene |

Message 3 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Mon Apr 24, 2006 1:17pm(PDT) Subject: You Might Not Ever Guess You Might Not Ever Guess Captain Kangaroo passed away on January 23, 2004 at age 76 , which is odd, because he always looked to be 76. (DOB: 6/27/27) His death reminded me of the following story. Some people have been a bit offended that the actor, Lee Marvin, is buried in a grave alongside 3 and 4 star generals at Arlington National Cemetery. His marker gives his name, rank (PVT) and service (USMC). Nothing else. Here's a guy who was only a famous movie star who served his time, why the heck does he rate burial with these guys? Well, following is the amazing answer: I always liked Lee Marvin, but didn't know the extent of his Corps experiences. In a time when many Hollywood stars served their country in the armed forces often in rear echelon posts where they were carefully protected, only to be trotted out to perform for the cameras in war bond promotions, Lee Marvin was a genuine hero. He won the Navy Cross at Iwo Jima. There is only one higher Naval award... the Medal Of Honor. If that is a surprising comment on the true character of the man, he credits his sergeant with an even greater show of bravery. Dialog from "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson": His guest was Lee Marvin. Johnny said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware that you were a Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima...and that during the course of that action you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded." "Yeah, yeah... I got shot square in the bottom and they gave me the Cross for securing a hot spot about halfway up Suribachi. Bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys getting' shot hauling you down. But,Johnny, at Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew... We both got the cross the same day, but what he did for his Cross made mine look cheap in comparison. That dumb guy actually stood up on Red beach and directed his troops to move forward and get the hell off the beach. Bullets flying by, with mortar rounds landing everywhere and he stood there as the main target of gunfire so that he could get his men to safety. He did this on more than one occasion because his men's safety was more important than his own life. That Sergeant and I have been lifelong friends. When they brought me off Suribachi we passed the Sergeant and he lit a smoke and passed it to me, lying on my belly on the litter and said, where'd they get you Lee?' Well Bob... if you make it home before me, tell Mom to sell the outhouse!" Johnny, I'm not lying, Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man I ever knew. The Sergeant's name is Bob Keeshan. You and the world know him as Captain Kangaroo." On another note, there was this wimpy little man (who just passed away) on PBS, gentle and quiet. Mr. Rogers is another of those you would least suspect of being anything but what he now portrays to our youth. But Mr. Rogers was a U.S. Navy Seal, combat-proven in Vietnam with over twenty-five confirmed kills to his name. He wore a long-sleeved sweater on TV, to cover the many tattoos on his forearm and biceps. He was a master in small arms and hand-to-hand combat, able to disarm or kill in a heartbeat. After the war Mr. Rogers became an ordained Presbyterian minister and therefore a pacifist. Vowing to never harm another human and also dedicating the rest of his life to trying to help lead children on the right path in life. He hid away the tattoos and his past life and won our hearts with his quiet wit and charm. America's real heroes don't flaunt what they did; they quietly go about their day-to-day lives, doing what they do best. They earned our respect and the freedoms that we all enjoy. Look around and see if you can find one of those heroes in your midst. Often, they are the ones you'd least suspect, but would most like to have on your side if anything ever happened. Take the time to thank anyone that has fought for our freedom. With encouragement they could be the next Captain Kangaroo or Mr.Rogers |

Message 4 From: "GZarwell" 1gzarwell@ccconline.net Date: Fri Apr 21, 2006 1:14pm(PDT) Subject: Governmental Dependency et al.; This is exactly why I will be on Maryland's ballot to build a constituency for getting back to our future - from apathy to liberty with great courage and spiritual faith. History The time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." "The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: 1. From bondage to spiritual faith; 2. From spiritual faith to great courage; 3. From courage to liberty; 4. From liberty to abundance; 5. From abundance to complacency; 6. From complacency to apathy; 7. From apathy to dependence; 8. From dependence back into bondage " Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election: Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million; Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000 States won by: Gore: 19 Bush: 29 Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13..2 Bush: 2.1 Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare..." Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some 40 percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase. Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom. Gene www.gzarwell.com Message 5 |
