BRAD BLOG: Interview w/ GOPers from new 'Non-Partisan' 'Voting Rights' Org
High-Level Republicans from the New 'Non-Partisan' 'American Center for Voting Rights' Explain Themselves...
Um...Sort of.


Today we attempted to get some more information about the "American Center for Voting Rights" (ACVR), a group who, as we reported yesterday, suddenly appeared on the Internet last Thursday. On Monday, they gave testimony to U.S. Congressman Bob Ney's (R-OH) House Administrative Committee during hearings held in Columbus, OH on the 2004 Election mess in the state.

The discussion with the "non-partisan" group-leader and Bush/Cheney '04 National Counsel Mark F. (Thor) Hearne, II didn't last very long.

However "non-partisan" ACVR press contact Jim Dyke (also Communications Director for the Republican National Committee in the 2004 Election) was willing to explain a bit more about this tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization which seems to have sprung up, Talon News-like, from nowhere...

5. Thank you, Brad.
When the Corporate Media is no longer doing their job, we the people have to do it for them.

8. We knew they would do this.
This has been their strategy from before the election, when 50 congressmen--including the infamous Feeney of Florida--signed a letter to the Justice Department claiming they were concerned about voter fraud.

11. It occurs to me reading this.. this is journalism.. actually calling..
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 02:34 PM by Griffy
and following up.. its so simple! This is why I believe that blogs(or some evolution of blogs) will emerge in the next few years as the main source of information. People can see the progress of the investigation rather than just the end story. Great job Bradblog!

As for the story, I too believe this is being set up as an "expert" in voting to brush the screaming Americans crying "FRAUD" under the rug and end the debate. I dont think its gonna work.. I wore my "BUSH CHEATED '04" button at the Dean rally last night, I got many more supporters than doubters... I get nods when I say "I'd be shocked if bush DIDN'T cheat!" People know.. they just feel scared to express it!

12. IWhen the RNC puts up a group like this, then they're worried and need to
get in their spin.

It's proof the machines were rigged and the RNC was IN on it.

17. Of course...
I ain't interested in what Tom DeLay wants the agenda to be.

The BRAD BLOG is setting the agenda now!

Thanks for your help!
