Be Very Wary of Straight Party Vote Option, Do Not Use It!

We have classified this issue as voter fraud, even though it technically isn't, because it could cause your vote to not be counted or to count exactly opposite from your actual vote.

Only 15 states have this option, if yours is one of them don't use it! There are many flaws the worst of which is that the vote can get counted for the wrong party. Straight-party voting (also called "straight-ticket" voting) means selecting a single bubble or box for a specific political party in order to register your vote for multiple candidates of that party.

In North Carolina , if you only use the straight party vote option, then you are not even casting a vote for president. 90,000 voters failed to mark their selection for President and Vice-President in NC in the 2004 election. Don't let this happen again in 2008.

DO NOT USE the straight-party option. If you want to vote for all candidates of the same party, mark each candidate individually.

"Empower Texans" chaired by Tim Dunn (R) of Midland, TX


Swift Boat funder Robert Perry, a top national Republican donor, is funding overtly racist attack mail, it's not Swift Boating, it's Race Boating.

A group called "Empower Texans," chaired by Tim Dunn of Midland, an associate of Republican Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick, attacked Democratic state House candidate Joel Redmond of Pasadena with a direct mail piece featuring fuzzy images of black and Hispanic lawmakers (plus Barack Obama), several black birds resembling crows, and a picture of the white Redmund. The tag line: "Birds of a feather flock together."

Anyone with any racial sensitivity gets the meaning of the mailer: Redmond has betrayed whites by befriending people of color. He can't be trusted.

This mailer attack was to smear Joel Redmond (D) TX
