Getting Ion Sancho to speak at the press conference was a major success for our movement.

 

I would like to thank Lisa Lambert and Tom Baxter for delivering an outstanding Press Conference which has put the "No DRE" solution on the national map.

 

Lisa will be moving to Atlanta and will be sorely missed by all of us.

 

Good Roads, Lisa. Thank you for your exceptional work for our cause.

Kindra and Bill,

 

I was very pleased with the segment, and with the fact that they ran it first!  Did not expect that!  And the interview of Ion--they struck gold with him, and knew it.  He is talking, and a rare thing in Florida--speaking the truth on the record!  He spoke frankly to Patrick Bergy earlier this week--he informed him, and had testified at the televised trial of Miriam Oliphant's case, that Kurt Browning (Pasco S/E) had been active in urging her dismissal to Jeb--to cover up his misdeeds!  Patrick taped the whole thing, and I think he treats of this at his website (savethevote.com).  Kurt and Jeb wanted her out for among other "crimes" because she balked at purchasing touch-screens!  Kurt himself was a member of Jeb's Task Force which in 2001 recommended that counties buy optical scanners and NOT touch-screens--because their performance was unreliable!  Thus, Kurt went into the purchase of ES&S equipment in defiance of the Task Force's recommendations, clearly, according to Sancho, because of conflicted alliance with Sandra Mortham (lobbyist for ES&S).  She, of course, received substantial commissions from all counties she sold!  This scenario is a prime candidate for investigation should Ashcroft do his job and investigate all aspects of this Peyton Place down here! 

 

I thought I saw two brief clips that looked as if they were one of our press conferences on the 13th?  My hunch is they (NOW crew) came to Tally and filmed so much footage of Sancho, which was pure gold, that Tally became the focus of their report!

 

Yesterday, Florida state representatives (Ron Klein, and others) held a press conf. making three demands, one of which was giving all voters the option of voting at the polls on paper (absentee ballot) if they were not comfortable with the touch-screens.  They broadcast it this morning on the Florida channel (Channel 14 in my area).  It was a strong statement, and Rep. Doug Weil (Jax) laid out all of our concerns very intelligently and calmly!  I will go to Klein's website and see if they have posted it.  Also, Alex Pinelas, candidate for U. S. Senate and mayor of Miami (?) yesterday called for the paper option.  I am sure that appears at his campaign website!  Klein held up the Republican mailer that (gaffe) called for REPUBLICANS to absentee vote so there would be a record of their vote--it was great!  It carried the likeness of a smiling George Bush.  I say, let's keep the stormclouds gathering for Florida elections spin patrollers Jeb and Glenda!  JanL  PS  I am attending the logic & accuracy test in my county Monday, Aug. 9th.  JL
