Republican Bad Deeds for 11-3-06

Sekula-Gibbs flipflops on pro-choice
On her website, candidate Shelley Sekula Gibbs says she is Pro-Life. But Documents from a 2001 Survey conducted by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, (a PAC) Sekula-Gibbs indicated she is pro-choice to try to get their endorsement.

Smither to Republicans – Please Stop Vandalizing our Signs!
The campaign of Bob Smither, Libertarian candidate for CD-22, has received information connecting a Republican official in Fort Bend County to the destruction of “Smither for Congress” and “Republicans for Smither” campaign signs. The official is a prominent supporter of Republican write-in Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, and has close connections to her campaign.

Bush approved publication on the Internet of plans for building an atomic weapon under pressure from Congressional Republicans who had said they hoped to leverage the Internet’ to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein

Officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency fear that the information could help states like Iran develop nuclear arms. The documents, roughly a dozen in number, contain charts, diagrams, equations and lengthy narratives about bomb building that nuclear experts who have viewed them say go beyond what is available elsewhere on the Internet and in other public forums.

Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction shut down by Republicans
Investigations by this office have sent American occupation officials to jail on bribery and conspiracy charges, exposed disastrously poor construction work by well-connected companies like Halliburton and Parsons, and discovered that the military did not properly track hundreds of thousands of weapons it shipped to Iraqi security forces. Congressional Republicans don’t like that.

Republican Rep Paying $500K To Ex-Mistress Who Accused Him Of Strangling Her…Payment Meant To Keep Her Quiet Before Election Day

Diebold report flaws kept hidden
What makes this report, “The Pentagon Papers of Electronic Voting” as some computer experts have described it, so important is that:

It shows, in black and white, that what Diebold says to election officials and voters across the country is not the truth.

It shows that there are virtually no security protocols in place for certain Diebold machines and that the recommended security protocols were purposely removed from the publicly released version of the report.

It shows that the analyzed Diebold machines were not functional nor secure for use in elections and raises serious doubts that they are ready for the November 7, 2006 Midterm elections.

Jim
