One should always have Bullets and Bandaids. Medicines and of course survival foods tucked away. Yes you can even get cheese cake in strawberry and blue berry in retort type packages. Of course the less elaborate and exciting grains should be stored as well. A pro Obama flag at the entrance to your shelter should be displayed when the National Police Force is making it's tours. One stop shopping! survivalacres.com

Ohio working on record voter fraud. BOE Questions Suspicious Voter Registration Cards Last Edited: Tuesday, 07 Oct 2008, 7:59 PM EDT Created: Tuesday, 07 Oct 2008, 7:59 PM EDT --- SideBar Related Items Stories Many Ohioans Beat Vote Deadline Ohio Immigrants Become Citizens in Time to Vote Many Voter's Cars Towed at BOE While Voting Early Official: Ohio Voters in Foreclosure Can Vote Ohio Voters Responsive to Absentee Voting Push Videos Cuyahoga County Election Board members grilled representatives of a community group Tuesday about their links to suspicious voter registration cards. In one case, a Cleveland resident was registered to vote three times in a single day, listing two different addresses. The man's registration was submitted to the Board of Elections by ACORN. The board discussed several other cases of multiple registrations at their meeting. ACORN was involved in each case, although not for all entries by the same individuals. "Problems do occur and we are concerned as you are, perhaps in some cases more concerned because our name is on that," says Teresa James, an attorney volunteering with ACORN. While admitting they don't have the resources to track all multiple entries, they submit all registrations to the Board and attach a warning about cards that raise suspicions. Leaders of the group say their role is to help low and moderate income residents participate in the democratic process and it's up to the board to weed out problematic registrations. "ACORN is very proud of the work we do registering low income people to vote. Nearly 100-thousand cards, and we're talking about less than 100 people and we're working to resolve issues on that small number of people," said Kristopher Harsh an organizer with the group. Board Member Robert Frost said the group failed to follow guidelines in its own manual to turn over suspected voter fraud to law enforcement to investigate. Election officials subpoenaed three voters to appear before the Board next week to explain their mulitple registrations. The list includes a Cuyahoga County resident whose name appears on 22 registration cards submitted in six months. myfoxcleveland.com

Wisconsin joins the long list of Voter fraud. Felon accused of voting violations Man charged with illegal registrations By LARRY SANDLER lsandler@journalsentinel.com Posted: Oct. 7, 2008 Milwaukee County prosecutors Tuesday charged a convicted felon with illegally registering himself and others to vote between his conviction and his sentencing. The complaint accuses Adam Mucklin, 22, of registering to vote in June, after he was convicted of battery in April, and after a judge told him he couldn’t vote as a convicted felon. Later in June, Mucklin signed up to work as a paid voter registrar for the Community Voters Project, something else he couldn’t do as a convicted felon, the complaint says. A recent opinion from the staff of the state Government Accountability Board says no one convicted of a felony can ever serve as a registrar, a stricter standard than the previous interpretation that registrars only had to be eligible to vote. Under Wisconsin law, felons can’t vote until after they have completed their sentences and are off probation or parole. For Mucklin, that would not be until Jan. 10, 2012, the complaint notes. He is serving his battery sentence in the Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, the complaint says. If convicted of both election-related counts, he could be sentenced to up to seven more years in prison and fined up to $20,000. 49 workers suspected Mucklin was among 49 voter registration workers who were referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office by the Milwaukee Election Commission on suspicion of election fraud. He is the second to be charged. Last week, the district attorney’s office charged Endalyn Adams, 21, with submitting registration cards with dozens of fake names to meet what amounted to a quota from the Community Voters Project. Some of the false names were flagged by voters project leaders before the cards were turned over to the Milwaukee Election Commission; those names were never added to the voter rolls, and the rest have been removed. In another five cases, investigators found insufficient evidence of fraud. The rest remain under review, said Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf, who filed the charges against Mucklin and Adams. Virtually all the workers under scrutiny were employed by either the voters project or by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Those groups were among several politically liberal organizations that launched massive voter registration drives in Milwaukee in advance of the Nov. 4 election. As with Adams, leaders of the voters project and ACORN say they caught much of the fraud and alerted authorities before handing in the registration cards. The groups also say the cases represent a small percentage of the dozens of workers and tens of thousands of voters signed up. Republicans have focused on the fraud charges to press their case for tighter voting rules, including photo identification for voters. Democrats have countered that investigations have found no evidence of widespread or organized vote fraud, and they argue that photo ID requirements would discourage some legitimate voters. At a news conference, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he was doing everything possible to ensure a fair and clean election. Reince Priebus, chairman of the state GOP, said the city should be pushing the state for more extensive checks on voters. jsonline.com
