Seminole Wrong How they get away with making the case.

By James A. Cooley, reporter for The Lone Star Report

have been struggling with a way to express the fundamental wrong
being advocated in a courtroom in Seminole County. Watching the smug
plaintiff's attorneys, I wondered why all Americans couldn't see the
travesty being so calmly discussed.

Win or lose, their actions were clearly establishing a dangerous
precedent that put the voting rights of all Americans at risk. Yet, to
succeed, this plan depended upon doing to all at once what couldn't be
done one at a time.

A paradox? Let me explain.

Suppose that, instead of the Republican party, it had been the NAACP
that had performed the flawed Seminole County absentee ballot drive?
Would there be a lawyer in the world willing to argue in public that
absentee ballots submitted by thousands of black Americans should be
thrown out?

As the great Thomas Paine said, in the darkest days of our Revolution, "These are the times that try men's souls. . . "

Our souls have been tried to the utmost Mr. Lieberman. You expect
us to lower our heads in fear and shame as you, your goon squads of
lawyers and your robot like leader steal the election.

We will not be silenced Mr. Lieberman. Expect us to march on
Washington by the millions, expect us to protest as is our God given
right as free Americans, expect us to refuse to acknowledge you as
our illegally appointed vice president. Expect us to defend Our
Constitution and nothing you can say will stop us.

We the People will be heard and there is nothing you can say or do
that will silence us.
