‘Although most of the attention has focused on paper trails and how vulnerable the machines are to hackers, a professor at Ohio State University and one of his former students are questioning the haphazard way these machines are bought and distributed.’ ‘Election officials interviewed all said they bought machines based on the number of registered voters in their county. But each county had a different idea of what the proper ratio of machines to voters should be.’ …

Here they come, to a county near you, “Paper, they don’t need no stinking paper”. They already know the outcome, and they don’t want any messy paper trails getting in the way. “DON’T USE THESE MONSTERS!” And flood the polls this November, demand paper ballots, don’t let it be a close election, Make it a landslide, take back the House & Senate. We can’t let these monsters eat our votes. see my cartoon on this topic at my website, ( be sure to vote, take a friend)

In the run up to the 2004 election, Barton traveled the country, boldly encouraging pastors to preach politics from the pulpit. In October 2004, Barton told the on-line publication “Beliefnet” that it was okay for pastors to stand in front of church and say, quote, “John Kerry is not fit to be president.” Barton went on to say most pastors would be “shocked” to learn how much they could get away with.

So once again, David Barton, is speaking in churches on behalf of the RNC to stimulate voter turnout (in Ohio)in cooperation with key operatives of the Christian Right. And a central part of his message will be the notion that America was founded as a “Christian nation,” that somehow, must be restored.

David Barton coming to Ohio,.. maybe his visit should be protested.
Barton’s speeches will be on the subject of “RELIGION & POLITICS: The Myth of Separation of Church and State.”
