This Submission: Terrorists: At Home and Abroad

It seems that John Kerry is making plans to move into the White House regardless if he actually wins the election or not.  With a multitude of attorneys already on the payroll and awaiting Election Day in several key states, including Iowa, Kerry and the DNC are fully prepared to take this election through any means necessary.  This includes to a new form of domestic terrorism using scare tactics on our youth (false draft rumors), elderly (false social security rumors), blacks (false voter suppression rumors), and massive voter fraud.

The Democratic interest groups are pouring out $350 million for the largest “get out the vote” push in history.  The cause for alarm is the fact that it’s being done by some of the same Democratic 527s who have gained quite questionable reputations throughout the campaign.

American’s Coming Together, one Democratic 527, sent convicted felons door-to-door registering voters.  Would you want a convicted child molester or rapist coming to your door while your young daughter was home alone after school?  It happened across the country.  This group has also recently been passing out flyers in Missouri and other states falsely claiming that Republicans are attempting to suppress the black vote.  It includes a graphic photo of a black man being beaten with a rubber hose.  The race card is one often dealt by the Democrats, but blacks are getting wise to this as the number of black voters moving toward the Republican Party grows.

ACORN, another group supporting Kerry, is currently being investigated in Florida, Colorado and Ohio for widespread organized voter fraud including, voter registrations, party affiliation forms and absentee ballots.  The people hired by this group are paid on a per form basis and in one case an employee turned in over 30 voter registrations with the same signature to collect on the $2 per form fee.  In another case, picked up by the national media last week, a man in Ohio, Chad Staton, was arrested for falsely filling out registrations for crack cocaine.  Toledo Police said Georgianne Pitts, a pro-Democrat NAACP worker, paid Staton in crack cocaine for 124 fake registration forms including the names Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, Janet Jackson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Michael Jordan, George Foreman and Brett Favre.

This same group also registered at least 2 known al Qaeda terrorists who were involved in a plot to blow up a shopping center.     

 America Votes, another group heavily funded by George Soros, is also being investigated by both state and federal officials for massive vote fraud. 

The Washington Times reported, “Anti-Bush 527s have been a political force this election cycle, with 9 of the top 10 fund-raising 527s being Democratic or anti-Bush groups, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.”  So much for campaign finance reform.

There are also approximately 35,000 registrations in question in Ohio and another 46,000 in Florida.  Every American citizen is afforded the right to vote and should exercise this right.  However, the Democratic mantra “Vote early and vote often” must be retired.

As for those who still wish to cast authentic votes against President Bush because of the situation in Iraq here are some interesting little known facts.   Syria recently admitted its banks have held funds for Saddam Hussein’s regime.  You may not think this such a big deal, but what else is Syria holding onto for Saddam?

In an even more interesting development reported by CNSNews.com, Iraqi intelligence documents, recently confiscated by U.S. forces, show numerous efforts by Saddam’s regime to work with some of the most ruthless terror groups in the world, including al Qaeda.  They also show that Saddam possessed anthrax and mustard gas, both considered WMDs, as recently as late summer of 2000 and that Iraq trained many terrorists within its borders. 

One of the memos shows an order from Saddam supporting terrorist attacks against Americans in Somalia and was written only 9 months before an ambush of U.S. Army Rangers in Mogadishu by forces with alleged ties to al Qaeda.  Other memos containing a list of other terrorists who had relationships with Iraq and an agenda against the U.S. include Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a top lieutenant of Osama bin Laden, who is believed responsible for the beheading of several American civilians and allegedly helped plan the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S. 

These documents certainly shed some new light on the whole issue of Saddam’s ties to al Qaeda and the elusive WMDs.  Check the documents out for yourself at: www.cnsnews.com//ViewNation.asp?Page=\\Nation\\archive\\200410\\NAT20041011a.html .

Also detrimental to the Kerry campaign is the recent unprecedented series of endorsements for President Bush by a number of world leaders.  Those lining up behind Bush include Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and Russian President Vladimir Putin who stated, “International terrorism aims at causing maximum damage to President Bush and to forestall his second term re-election.  If they succeed, they would celebrate a victory against America and the anti-terror coalition, and this could lead to more acts of international terrorism.”  Putin gave his endorsement despite his opposition to the war in Iraq.

The most ringing endorsement, however, comes from our own military.  Those currently serving in our armed forces, at home and abroad, prefer the President by a 4 to 1 margin over Kerry.  In a recent survey 73% said they would vote for Bush, while only 18% said they would vote for Kerry.  Of the respondents, only 59% identified themselves as Republicans.

What other voter fraud schemes will be uncovered?  What else will we find out about Iraq, al Qaeda and WMDs?  What do these world leaders and our military know that you don’t?  Carefully consider these questions when you cast your vote next week.
