With interest, I think to my self “duhhhhhh” when I was reading the first part of this article. Hell as an avid Ralph Nader supporter, I know this debacle all so very well. In addition, I lived through Oregon’s messy stinking red-tape bullshit as signatures were tossed out or analyzed to the point of no return, and insinuating accusations and comments were tossed around like as if the devil himself was trying to get on the ballot. Well actually truthfully, the Devil was on the Ballot and even “cheated his way to be the current president we have now”.

 As I digress, these recounts of mine, of the Oregon election petition problems, and paying signature gatherers is an interesting topic, and rife with abuse and 'neglect of not allowing a true democratic process to exists" and affording the potential to allow abuse with out ethics and honor.

 Actually this whole topic has been neglected and swept under the shadow of the “vote for the two party” spin... and has been keeping the “good men (and ladies) down” for so long that not many will understand, that this is a very controlled crooked system.  

There needs to be a better answer on this because, what we are doing is not good enough, it needs to have some consistent order on a federal level. It should be not used as a tool to keep opponents of the duopoly from getting on the ballot. But as a tool to regulate and yet allow the freedom to run for president and the choices in multiple opponents. For we the voters should not be "out of reach" to the point we have “no choice” 

Believe you me the difference between The Republican and The Democrat party …..is sadly enough not much difference and this article will shed a little light on this process to keep the mighty as always, ruling with laws that keep power in their hands as they steal and manipulate the way to challenge or contest any possible challenger.

 Interesting too is that these little tweaks of the constitution  that has been adjusted for their benefit and security, are like a sore or wound that will never heal. The first step to get the process rectified I think is “get the masses to realize we need a better (honest) way to get a third party on the ballot. We need to allow more choices. We need real Democracy not Duopoly”We need to do that in a real bad way! In all fairness it needs to be looked into now! Is the fact that people were paid to get a 3rd party on the ballot not right?  Is it not right that a 3rd party can hardly even get on the ballot period, unless they are stinking rich or "a part of the good-olé boy plutocracy SYSTEM"

Smaller parties turn to paid signature gatherers to make ballot

RON TODT Associated Press PHILADELPHIA - http://www.timesleader.com/mld/timesleader/15190101.htm

The Green Party's apparently successful campaign to put candidates on the Pennsylvania ballot is the latest involving the use of paid signature gatherers, who have been the focus of regulation efforts in other states.Small parties like the Greens say Pennsylvania's onerous ballot requirements leave them no choice but to hire people to supplement their volunteer forces. Even if they get on the ballot, it leaves them little money to wage a general election campaign, they said."Unfortunately it's becoming more and more common," said Thom Marti, an Adams County farmer who is the party's petition coordinator. "Some of the states have such restrictive ballot access, it's really beyond the capability of a small party."In an average year, Marti said, the state party can get the 25,000 or so signatures it needs with volunteers alone. To get the 67,070 required this year, paid circulators for U.S. Senate candidate Carl Romanelli's campaign got $2 per valid signature. The party also recruited members and others to canvass "for more or less pocket money" to add to volunteer efforts, Marti said.States have tried to regulate the activity with varying degrees of success, but a total ban on paying petition circulators was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1988.

In 2004, the Libertarian Party in Pennsylvania got almost half its signatures for statewide office from a paid campaign, but decided against it this year, in part because of the high signature requirement, said Chuck Moulton, the state party's vice chairman. The party will run statewide candidates only if a court overturns the high signature requirement, he said."There are a lot of states it's impossible to get on the ballot without the use of paid signature gatherers," Moulton said.

The Pennsylvania signature threshold is especially high this year because it is calculated based on the number of votes cast for the largest vote-getter in the last statewide election. This year's requirement is based on the record 3.4 million votes by which Bob Casey was elected state treasurer in 2004.Romanelli has acknowledged that probably more than half the roughly $100,000 spent to collect his signatures came from Republican donors, including some who also gave money to Sen. Rick Santorum.Casey, Santorum's Democratic opponent, could lose votes to the Green Party due to Romanelli's support for abortion rights. Casey's campaign accused Republicans of trying to steal the election."Ideally, signature gatherers should be volunteers," said state Democratic Party spokesman Abe Amoros. He cited Ralph Nader's 2004 presidential bid as an example of the problems that can come with paid signature-gatherers.Nader was thrown off the ballot in several states, including Pennsylvania, where a contractor promised $100 to $200 a day to petition circulators. Many homeless people took the jobs in Philadelphia, where dozens of duplicate signatures were found. A state judge called the petitions "rife with forgeries."JSM Inc., which was hired for Romanelli's effort, also worked on Nader's efforts in a number of states; a listed phone number for the firm could not be found.Many states that allow citizen initiatives, which Pennsylvania does not, have tried to regulate the practice of paying petition circulators.

Jennie Drage Bowser, of the National Conference of State Legislatures, said the concern is that, "if signature gatherers are motivated to gather more signatures because they'll earn more money, they might also be motivated to use dishonest tactics."One Arkansas initiative was tossed off the ballot because someone had gone though the phone book and signed names "in alphabetical order, right down the page," Bowser said.

In Oregon, evidence was submitted that circulators of various initiatives got together and had "signing parties," where they signed each other's petitions, she said.Michael Arno, the owner of a consulting firm that says it has collected signatures to qualify nearly 500 ballot initiatives in 20 states, said the Nader campaign managed its own drive and was unaware of the pitfalls. He said experienced firms can sniff out problems."We do find people that forge. We hand them over to the authorities to be prosecuted, and I wish they'd prosecute them more vigorously," Arno said. "Probably 99 percent of petition gatherers out there are decent, honorable people."State governments have tried to step in.Oregon bans paying initiative circulators by the signature, but courts have rejected similar regulations in other states.

Several states require circulators to disclose whether they are paid or volunteers.Arno called regulation efforts ineffective. Banning per-signature payments, for example, breeds sloppiness and padding of hours without reducing the number of problem signatures, he said."When I pay people by the signature, if they do something wrong I can unpay them by the signature," he said.

LET ME BREAK DOWN

THE USA

SPONSERED

KILLINGS 

AND TELL ME Z3 READER

DO YOU SUPPORT THIS USA AGENDA

AND THIS SICK MILITARY PROCESS?

1. The Neocons allow 911 to happen. Bush Knew about plane attacks in his daily briefings, Cheney was using NORAD, and shoddy investigating and there is MAJOR cover-ups. How did Building number 7 crumble if no plane hit it either? EXPLOSIVES is how!
2. The USA attack Afghanistan and kills God only knows how many innocent civilians and children to this very day.
3. Then with out a missed step, The USA then lies about WMD and proceeds to INVADES Iraq. The number of civilian deaths is grotesque, bordering on incomprehensible. It is also sloppily kept; no one knows for sure the exact count, but estimates begin at 15,000 and range as high as 100,000. This is an uncomfortable subject for officialdom; the U.S. military command says it does not, because it cannot, keep track of civilian deaths.
4. The USA supports and provides weapons to Israel so they can MURDER and KILL babies and Children in Lebanon. Hundreds dead and it is rising in numbers by the minute, mostly civilians and children. The blood is on the USA hands as well as Israel
5. The USA allows and practices TORTURE and breaks Geneva Laws. The USA keeps prisoners with NO TRIALS EVER! The human rights violations are a mile long ,,,just ask the United Nations what they think ....hell ask the Red Cross too, they will tell you the USA is violating International laws repeatedly.

FOLKS WE HAVE LOST OUR COUNTRY AND OUR ETHICS/MORALS

THE DEVIL (neocons), SATAN HIMSELF IS NOW LEADING THE USA

SO LET ME ASK YOU

...DO YOU PREFER WE MELT THE BABIES OR SHOULD WE JUST SHOOT THEM OR EVEN BETTER WHY NOT USE PERCISION GUIDED SMART BOMBS AND JUST CALL THESE BABIES "WAR CASUALITIES" KILL THEM LIKE IN A VIDEO GAME .....OR DO YOU EVEN CARE?

THE UNITED STATES IS ALLOWING AND CONDONES ISRAEL MURDERRING INNOCENT PEOPLE - HEY YOU DONT CARE DO YOU?

THE USA INVADED IRAQ AND IS SHOOTING FAMILIES AND TORTURING PRISONEERS FOR 3 SOLID YEARS - HEY YOU DONT CARE DO YOU?

OR DO YOU PREFER TO HAVE THESE BABIES ALL PLAY WITH DEPLETED URANIUM THAT THE USA MILITARY LEFT ALL OVER IRAQ FOR THE NEXT 1000 YEARS - HEY YOU DONT CARE DO YOU?  

*******************************************************

I'M ASHAMED OF THIS COUNTRY

WE KILL BABIES

PLAIN AND SIMPLE

"DEAD crispy BABIES TO-GO" ...do you care?

Z3 readers let start by watching a short clip from the ACLU's website: Father Roy Bourgeois: Founder of "School of the America's Watch"; spied on for years by the FBI merely for organizing peaceful protests. This priest will confirm my feelings, he paints a grim ugly picture of this training camp.

http://stream.luxmedia.com/?file=clients/aclu/20060717_speaker1_300.wmv&type=wmv

_{And these two paragraphs below explains more of this school; I copied it from here--> http://www.soaw.org/new/newswire_detail.php?id=1144} 

<sub>The U.S. image in much of Latin America has taken quite a beating this year, with Venezuelan leftist leader Hugo Chavez and his counterpart in Bolivia, Evo Morales, engaging in a heated war of words with their neighbor to the north. But one particular U.S. institution already notorious throughout the continent is increasingly feeling itself under the gun.

Now officially called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), the U.S. military-run training ground for Latin American strongmen and dictators was for years known as the School of the Americas (SOA). The Spanish-language army facility based in Fort Benning, Georgia, was responsible for helping to educate such military men as Panamanian dictator and convicted drug trafficker Manuel Noriega, the late Argentine junta leader imprisoned for human rights abuses Leopoldo Galtieri, and Salvadoran right-wing militia leader Maj. Roberto D'Aubuisson. Despite adding a "human rights" element to its curriculum in recent years, the school has engendered so much suspicion and hostility that it was dubbed the School of Assassins.</sub>

Here is a Nov 2001 picture of Father Roy Bourgeois, where he leads the mock funeral procession to the gates of Fort Benning. Five years latter another protest is being organized for November 2006

Click on this info link here--> http://www.soaw.org/new/newswire_detail.php?id=1148

Now here is an interesting article on this subject about how in early June 2006  U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick had the nerve to speak publicly against “interventionism” in Latin America at a meeting of the Organization of American States in the Dominican Republic. Ironically, a few days later the U.S. Congress voted to continue supporting military intervention in Latin America by rejecting an amendment put forth by Rep. McGovern which would have excluded funding for the infamous School of the Americas (SOA) as part of the annual Foreign Operations Appropriations bill. Here is the full story --> http://www.soaw.org/new/newswire_detail.php?id=1148

Steve Watson / Prisonplanet | July 29 2006

This weekend sees the finale of the annual gathering of the Bohemian Club in the secluded redwoods about 75 miles north of San Francisco. It just so happens that Tony Blair will be in San Francisco all weekend along with a whole host of other powerful elite luminaries.

Whilst the world seems to be on the brink of major war, Blair is, as reported today by the London Independent, on a flying tour of California to meet and do private business with Rupert Murdoch.

A mock sacrifice of a human child? Fire Sticks, An owl head? What the ..?

Adult men  and leaders at that in robes and hoods ...... secrets....... no press.....weird stuff Z3 Readers ...fricken WEIRD!

NEWS FLASH SUNDAY July 30,06 2:00AM PST

At least 20 children are believed to be among more than 40 civilians killed after an Israeli raid destroyed a building in the southern Lebanese town of Qana,

Aljazeera's correspondent reports.

FULL STORE HERE:

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/6334D333-E2A2-4F66-81E6-42FD108FD8BB.htm

Now Zebra 3 Readers, let me be perfectly clear on this simple concept regarding the very concern I feel from the news flash I just posted:

If a person or group, in fact readers, lets just refer to them as Group A; say they went and did a real serious bad thing to another oh say two people from say Group B ... And then say they ran back and hid among children and innocent civilians in their own group on their own land.

Now Group B has their friends and family and even police or authorities who were effected by the bad thing done by Group A, with this done to them they take revenge.

Group B claims they were offended and retaliate by  dropping huge bombs and rockets all over Group A land and killing say like 22 children for example as in my posted recent News Flash above.

Then Group B destroys the whole town and kill hundreds more after they destroy the whole city...... they say they were not the ones to start it and they have done NO WRONG......... and get this,

THE UNITED STATES BACKS UP GROUP B ....AND IS THE ONE WHO IS SUPPLYING GROUP B THE WEAPONS TO FIRE AT GROUP A

wow now both sides are fighting and killing civillians on both sides ...but a nin-rod would be smarter than Isreal's way of handling this...the USA isnt much brighter

It makes no sense and it is wrong to support any group in this situtation......but certainly with a tad bit of common sense and decency ...you don't kill a village because of a dozen bad men in it.

...Unless you are either sick in the head or a mass murderer!

Dear Senators,

I urge you to please not appoint John Bolton into the UN as a Representative of the USA

I am ashamed and embarrassed for his concerns regarding Human Rights, Torture, War, and his lack of respect for the UN in general.

As Sen. Joseph Biden Jr. said, "Mr. Bolton's performance at the U.N. only confirms my conviction that he's the wrong person for this job."

And indeed he is the wrong person. I affirm that quote passionately. He is not helping our Nation work with other countries to my satisfaction by a long shot.

He has secrets and skeletons that he refuses to put out on the table. As in the use of National Security Agency for spying on not terrorist, but citizens

I was upset about him being into this temporary position in the first place, as I remember how after repeated failed attempts by GOP leaders to grant Bolton Senate approval, Bush last Aug, used his executive power to sidestep Congress and temporarily assign Bolton to the job. That was a low blow, and a sad choice.

We need a Respectable, Forthright, Honest, Law abiding and Geneva Honoring, no hidden agendas, and willing to work with the 190 other Countries that participate.

I encourage you to send a message to the world we need good leadership and a change in leadership

For as I said in my second sentence, I am ashamed and embarrassed for his concerns regarding Human Right, Torture, and War and respecting the purpose of the UN

He is negligently changing for the worse our involvement in the UN and our UN policies and the way in which we are perceived, by the whole world.

He has missed important meetings on Human Rights and has sent mixed and wrong messages to the world. The USA can do much better than this

Do your best to keep John Bolton out of the UN …..Please.

Stop the War, Close GITMO,

Bring the Troops Home

911 Truth

Sincerely,

Joe Anybody

Let me first give credit to the protesters at Boltons hearings with the Senate as in this one I just read: PROTESTER: I oppose the nomination of this man, John Bolton, as U.S. ambassador. He is a disgrace to the United States. He is not...   (I love it!) 

The UN Rep for the USA is a Complete Ass and a Thoughtless/Heartless Jerk - and has no humanitarian nor diplomacy virtues. He is not worth jack shit. I can not stand him or his ugly positions or his history of treating his fellow workers like shit and now he represents me and my country!

He could care less about the United States even being in the United Nations. He is the worst Representative we could ever, ever, ever put forth to speak for the Country of mine.  This guy is helping to ruin the USA and our Integrity and the snub the UN and the participants

 .... And now the discussion / and soon a vote to keep him in his position is upon the Senate. Oh I hope this MISTAKE corrects itself and he is not voted in. The crappy deifying way in last Aug 05 and Bush appointed him against many complaints ...it sure was wretching to feel and realize that we got set up to fail for sure with this clown speaking for Human Rights and The USA opinions and directions.

Today on Air America radio I heard a short quip from an unknown senator (I think?) and a Republican Senator at that, which I didn't get his name ... broke down in tears when referring to the Ambassador, Mr John Bolton and the USA direction in the world today. He cried and said he was worried about his grand kids future. He sees where Bolton is taking us, and it had him in fucking tears. This Senator said something to the sorts of .. if only people knew and cared that in a time when we need friends around the world more than ever ....Bolton is causing us to be hated and disliked. He said we needed these allies and friendships but were loosing them fast now. Crap .....What in the hell! Did anybody in America get that concept? A grown Senator crying on the floor for his grandkids future!    WOW - - I FEEL SICK!

A Washington Post article paints a stinky pictures of the bum here http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/26/AR2006072601892.html  

And speaking of Basic Human Rights! There were 30 negotiating sessions of very critical issues to hammer out the framework of this UN Human Rghts Council, and Ambassador Bolton managed to attend only one or two of those sessions. Get this Z3 Readers, in the end, the United States was one of four countries to vote against approval of the new U.N. human rights council. *wow!

A transcript of todays UN Hearing is here:    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/27/AR2006072701906.html

I also would like to share a few quotes from a great site which is linked to at the bottom of these quotes below:

"He sometimes makes it very difficult to build bridges because he is a very honest and blunt person," said South Africa's U.N. ambassador, Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo, chairman of a coalition of developed nations. He said there is a perception among many developed countries in the coalition, known as the Group of 77, that it appears "Ambassador Bolton wants to prove nothing works at the United Nations." 

and this one:

Sen. Joseph Biden Jr. (D-Del.) said, "Mr. Bolton's performance at the U.N. only confirms my conviction that he's the wrong person for this job." He suggested that Democrats may filibuster a Senate vote unless the Bush administration releases documents Biden believes detail Bolton's use of National Security Agency intercepts involving U.S. citizens.

or this one:

"There is currently a perception among many otherwise quite moderate countries that anything the U.S. supports must have a secret agenda aimed at either subordinating multilateral processes to Washington's ends or weakening the institutions, and therefore, put crudely, should be opposed without any real discussion of whether they make sense or not," U.N. Deputy Secretary General Mark Malloch Brown said in June 6 speech.

and here:

Gunter Pleuger, who retired last month as Germany's U.N. ambassador, said Bolton has repeatedly maneuvered the United States into isolated positions on key issues. Pleuger said the United States suffered a "bitter defeat" in its effort to press for the replacement of the troubled Human Rights Commission, which had become a haven for nations with dismal human rights records seeking to block international condemnation of their governments.

Oh sure there is a few Republican Worthless shits that think he is an honest  good American, but what I know and want my fellow Zebra3 Readers to know the guy is the kind of guy that would steal food from a starving child in Rwanda if given the opportunity.
