The Florida SoS and Ion Sancho met yesterday in what was supposed to have been an open meeting. The media and public were barred from attending and the police were called to ensure no one was allowed to hear what was said. Thousands of emails have been sent and are being sent to Leon County commissioners, the Gov. and the SoS. One person on the inside has reported, “The email campaign in support of the Leon County Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho is having a dramatic effect. The number of emails received by the Leon County Commission is breaking all records and is blocking the system.” Keep up the great work. It is making a difference….

Democracy,.. I can smell it in the distance,…
it’s like a summer barbeque of shish kabob,..
the best of friends,.. the best of times,..
boy,.. this is going to taste good.
Any reports on the MSM picking up the story from yesterday … where the Florida SoS called the police so as not to have a public meeting with Ion?
I’m surprised but thrilled to hear they’ve received alot of emails supporting Sancho.
Now if they’d just actually listen to people…
I hope people are sending emails etc. in support of Russ Feingold, too!!!
