Night Mat)--<BR/><BR/>AL FRANKEN STEALING SENATE SEAT, STOP HIM<BR/><BR/>Printer-Friendly Version<BR/><BR/><BR/>Dear Friend, <BR/><BR/>The Democrats are on the verge of seating Al Franken as the next U.S. Senator from Minnesota. <BR/><BR/>This is simply an outrage! <BR/><BR/>On election day, Republican Norm Coleman was ahead by hundreds of votes. <BR/><BR/>Since then, Franken and liberal allies like George Soros have raised millions to wage a legal fight contesting every Coleman ballot. <BR/><BR/>With the help of the Democratic Sec. of State in Minnesota, the "recount" has gone wildly in Franken's favor. <BR/><BR/>With claims of outright vote fraud, double voting -- they are even rejecting military ballots cast by our servicemen overseas to help Franken -- Franken now claims a lead. <BR/><BR/>He must be stopped. He can be stopped. <BR/><BR/>The Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) is the nation's leading Republican group fighting for a fair vote in Minnesota. <BR/><BR/>This is the same group that exposed ACORN and is led by a distinguished advisory board, including former attorney general Ed Meese and former solicitor general Ted Olson. <BR/><BR/>They desperately need to raise funds as the Minnesota recount comes down to the wire. <BR/><BR/>Please help them today by donating now -- Go Here Now. <BR/><BR/>Also, read their urgent message below. <BR/><BR/>Yours, <BR/><BR/>Dick Morris<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Stop Al Franken Before It's Too Late! <BR/><BR/>Dear Dickmorris.com Reader: <BR/><BR/>The fix is in! <BR/><BR/>Senate Democrats led by Harry Reid are planning to certify Al Franken the "winner" in the contested Minnesota seat that Republican Norm Coleman is fighting to keep. <BR/><BR/>New York Sen. Charles Schumer said Sunday that Democrat Al Franken is the clear winner in Minnesota's Senate race and should be seated as soon as possible and last week Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid said "it appears that Franken will be certified the winner by the state Canvassing Board." <BR/><BR/>For weeks after the election Norm Coleman led Franken by hundreds of votes and Reid and company were very quiet. <BR/><BR/>After Franken raised millions and waged a fierce legal battle over a handful of rejected ballots, he claims he is ahead of Coleman by about 225 votes. <BR/><BR/>The Democrats want to seize on this claim and parachute Al Franken into the U.S. Senate. <BR/><BR/>The Democrats may use this dubious "certification" to actually seat Franken in the Senate on January 6 -- before the process in Minnesota is even complete! <BR/><BR/>The Democrats have claimed they were for a fair and honest recount, but the facts show this was simply a lie. <BR/><BR/>The truth is that billionaire George Soros and ACORN-backed Democrat Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie's Canvassing Board have backed Franken's outrageous subversion of the vote process: some Franken voters have voted twice, Coleman votes have been rejected, and the Franken camp literally makes up the recount rules as they go along. <BR/><BR/>The irregularities in this Election Contest are absolutely shocking -- and allowing Franken to claim victory now is outrageous. <BR/><BR/>With the help of Minnesota's liberal Sec. of State Mark Ritchie they have rewritten the rules and Franken now has a "lead." <BR/><BR/>The Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) has been the leader in fighting against vote fraud and for open, fair, and honest elections. <BR/><BR/>We at the RNLA need your urgent help today to expose the fraudulent efforts of Harry Reid and a Soros-ACORN supported Secretary of State to pick Al Franken the next Senator from Minnesota. <BR/><BR/>We must expose their brazen attempt to subvert the democratic process -- before the vote is even final! <BR/><BR/>You can help us stop Harry Reid and George Soros -- Donate Here Now <BR/><BR/>Let me reveal to you just how Franken and Ritchie are working to steal this election from Republican Norm Coleman. <BR/><BR/>Ritchie has taken votes that were clearly for Coleman and rejected them, putting them in a pile for the courts to decide at a later date. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Franken votes have been accepted, giving Franken an artificial lead. <BR/><BR/>During the recount supposed "errors" were corrected, almost always favoring Franken. Though this is statistically improbable, the votes were counted for Franken. <BR/><BR/>In one voting precinct that clearly benefitted Coleman, the Ritchie led Canvassing Board ruled that the recount will not include them -- instead that one precinct will have to live with the final vote total as of election night. <BR/><BR/>The Ritchie led canvassing board has even admitted they are "not going to be entirely consistent" when reviewing challenged ballots and has ruled a number of votes as votes for Franken when his circle is marked and as under votes when the Coleman circle is identically marked. <BR/><BR/>The effort to subvert a fair vote is so obvious, even a Democratic election official in Minneapolis admitted votes are being counted twice. <BR/><BR/>"I know it happened in several precincts," she said. <BR/><BR/>Simply put, the Ritchie led Secretary of State office wants to decide this election in Franken's favor and certify him the "winner." <BR/><BR/>They want Reid and Senate Democrats to seat him in the Senate. <BR/><BR/>They don't care if Coleman fights the election in court -- after the fact. <BR/><BR/>As National Republican Senatorial Chair Texas Senator John Cornyn stated: "Al Franken is falsely declaring victory based on an artificial lead created on the back of the double counting of ballots." <BR/><BR/>We here at the RNLA are waging a fierce battle to stop Franken, Soros and Ritchie. <BR/><BR/>We have the truth on our side. <BR/><BR/>We need to expose these illicit attempts to steal the election and seat Al Franken in the Senate. <BR/><BR/>You can help up today -- Go Here Now. <BR/><BR/>Remember this Senate seat is crucial. If Franken joins the Democrats he will give them 59 seats. They will be just one short vote of a filibuster. <BR/><BR/>They will be able to push through a radical liberal agenda. <BR/><BR/>But we can still stop them. <BR/><BR/>We need your help today -- Go Here Now <BR/><BR/>Thank you. <BR/><BR/>Michael Thielen <BR/>Executive Director <BR/><BR/>PS. During this holiday and New Year our members have not taken off. We at the RNLA believe strongly that the people in Minnesota deserve a fair vote. We need your help to stop Harry Reid Senate, Al Franken lawyers, and the ACORN backed Secretary of State Mark Ritchie Canvassing Board from picking the next Minnesota Senator and ignoring the will of the voters of Minnesota.

Now, thanks to dozens of innovations, they're almost boring, and not even that expensive. Oddly enough, they're more efficient than the old CRT televisions...per square inch. The bad news is, as we've been exponentially increasing the square-footage of our televisions, so have we been exponentially increasing their energy use.<BR/><BR/>California, struggling to meet green power mandates while energy use has been steadily on the rise, is looking to tackle the problem at the source. By 2011, legislators are hoping that all but the most efficient televisions will be unavailable in California.<BR/><BR/>This might, in fact, completely eliminate plasma TVs from the market, as LCD televisions have been making more progress in efficiency than plasma. Of course, this wouldn't stop Californians from driving to Nevada, or ordering their televisions online.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the legislation could also have the opposite effect, forcing manufacturers to create more efficient sets for the (extremely large) California market, but also selling those sets everywhere. Less efficient sets would have a smaller market, and so be more quickly phased out.<BR/><BR/>If enacted, the first round of regulations would go into effect in 2011, decreasing user's electricity bills by about $20 per year. The second tier would come into effect in 2013, lowering bills by an additional $10.<BR/><BR/>I've seen what manufacturers can do to lower the power use of their sets, and I'm entirely confident that this can be done without a dramatic increase in the price of the units. And, really, if you want your entire living room wall to be a television screen...you should be willing to pay a few extra dollars for it.<BR/>==<BR/><BR/>A move in the right direction. Good on Cali. But energy efficient appliances should be made a national requirement. I hope the Obama team is paying attention to this. Retrofitting building is great stuff, but we also need to pay attention to appliances.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132252460964519368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-41149698536253255272009-01-06T00:29:00.000-05:002009-01-06T00:29:00.000-05:00EcoGeek.Sounds like a neutral source for informati...EcoGeek.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a neutral source for information, for sure.<BR/><BR/>I get my info about the coal industry from an industry publication, Strip Mine Daily.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-39545108786168311792009-01-06T00:26:00.000-05:002009-01-06T00:26:00.000-05:00The years have been tough onKathleen Turner who wa...The years have been tough on<A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/kathleenturner2/" REL="nofollow">Kathleen Turner</A> who was the dog trainer in <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marley_&_Me" REL="nofollow">Marley and Me</A>, all around good film, but not a film for the moslems.
