Anita MonCrief: Send Me to Stop Obama's Stolen Election 

You stood with me once before, and now I need you to stand with me again.

On the eve of the primary in South Carolina, the Obama administration is invalidating a law requiring voters in South Carolina to present photo ID. Naturally, Attorney General Eric Holder invoked the race card to justify his stance -- fortunately, South Carolina Governor Niki Haley is promising to fight back.  The need for this sort of law couldn't be any clearer, with voter fraud taking place just the other day in New Hampshire's primary!  I have been vocal in pointing out that ACORN is back and involved in these efforts, certainly opposing these laws due to its well-established record of promoting voter fraud.

The Obama administration and liberal groups are standing in the way of meaningful reform to prevent voter fraud -- all under the guise of "preventing racism."  Obviously, these individuals and groups don't want to prevent fraud because, very simply, it benefits them in elections!

After a successful rally in Austin, TX, I am hosting another rally in SC on January 20, where I'm asking attendees to wave their photo ID's and prevent those who wish to divide us from using the race card.  I need your help to join the fight against these racist attacks to help combat the voter fraud being perpetrated by liberal groups like ACORN!  Your donation to my cause will allow me to continue hosting these rallies and travel the country to bring attention to this critical issue.  I needs to raise $1,000 to support the travel and lodging costs of the activists attending the rally.

Conservatives already face major challenges to win in 2012, and liberal efforts to subvert Voter ID laws and promote voter fraud will make it even harder to achieve victory.  Will you donate $100, $50, or $25 to my efforts to enforce and grow Voter ID laws?

Donors, I will send you exclusive footage and backstage pictures if we can meet this goal of $1,000 in the next 72 hours.

Together, we will continue to fight to elect good conservatives and defeat Barack Obama and his cronies' liberal agendas in 2012 and beyond!

Keep up the fight,

Anita MonCrief

WFI Applauds Introduction Of Legislation Ensuring Fairness In Airline & Railway Elections

Washington, D.C. (December 2, 2011)  – The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) today released the following statement in response to legislation introduced by Congressman John Mica ensuring there is fairness in airline and railway elections:
 
“Legislation introduced by Congressman Mica impacting airline and railway workers ensures there is fairness in organizing elections,” said Fred Wszolek, spokesperson for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI).  “Since union bosses have instructed their backers at the National Mediation Board to advance an agenda that hurts workers, it is Congress’ responsibility to step in and address the matter.  Applying the same standard for decertification that has been created for certification in organizing elections in the airline and railway industries is a common sense policy that merits the support of both Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. House.”
 
BACKGROUND:
 
“Mica Files Bill To ‘Restore Fairness’ To Transportation Union Elections”:
 
“House Transportation chief Chairman Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) fired the latest salvo in the fight over labor rules for transportation workers Thursday, introducing a bill to make it easier to disband unions.  Last year, the National Mediation Board changed the election rules for unions covered by the Railway Labor Act to ensure that absentee votes were not counted as votes against forming an union … He said Thursday that he was filing standalone legislation to apply the same standard to union decertification elections.”(Keith Laing, “Mica Files Bill To ‘Restore Fairness’ To Transportation Union Elections,” The Hill, 12/1/11)
 

The Workforce Fairness Institute is an organization committed to educating voters, employers, employees and citizens about issues affecting the workplace. To learn more, please visit: http://www.workforcefairness.com.

The time is now to rethink our election process

 

WASHINGTON, D.C., NOVEMBER 9, 2011 - Today, Americans Elect released a video that marks the one-year countdown to the 2012 presidential election.

A lot can happen in one year, and at Americans Elect the change we need has already begun. Americans Elect is on the ground across the nation gaining 50-state ballot access. We have technology in place that allows every voter to participate in the first online nominating convention in June 2012. That open process will nominate a nonpartisan ticket offering all Americans a third way, a new way to choose their president.
 
"Our people expect their President and the Congress to find essential agreement on issues of great moment," President Dwight Eisenhower said in his Farewell Address in 1961. Today, agreements are not being reached, and great moments are few and far between. “It is imperative that we reach across the aisle, and transcend the partisanship,” Elliot Ackerman, COO of Americans Elect said. “Let’s bring our country back into balance so more great moments can happen.”
 
The organization has already collected over 1.9 million signatures to support its ballot access activities, more than half of what is necessary to ensure that a third option will be on the ballot in all 50 states. This effort is real, and it is happening now, working to give voters the opportunity to pick a president, not a party. 
 
As the video concludes, “A lot can change in a year...even in Washington.”
 
Over 1,400 photos were used to make the video. The photos were contributed by Americans Elect supporters who have been running a time-lapse camera in Arlington, Virginia for the past three years. The photos capture iconic Washington, including the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and United States Capitol. As these symbols of our democracy flash across the screen, voiceovers of several past presidents remind us of the principles we as a nation once valued. 
 
The video is part of Americans Elect’s outreach to voters to encourage them to go to www.AmericansElect.org where they can join more than 140,000 delegates who have already signed up for next year’s history-making online presidential nominating convention.

NH GOP CHAIRMAN MACDONALD ON GOP WINS IN YESTERDAY'S MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

Concord, NH – Yesterday, New Hampshire hosted municipal elections across the state and Republicans had great successes and even some surprises. In Manchester, Mayor Ted Gatsas won re-election in a landslide and Joe Kelly Lavasseur won his Alderman At-Large seat--ousting a long time incumbent.  Keene has a new Mayor in Kendall Lane, a former State GOP vice Chairman, and in Portsmouth three Republicans won, picking up two new seats retaining Ken Smith on the board and adding Brad Lown and Jack Thorsen. Other Seacoast successes include three city council seats in Dover an increase by one putting State Rep. Michael Weeden, Karen Weston and Catherine Cheney on the board. Nashua retained Donnalee Lozeau as Mayor and Daniel Moriarty and Arthur Crassey Jr. won seats on the Board of Aldermen.  In addition, republicans saw significant gains on local school boards across the state. These wins follow the re-election of Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield just last month.

New Hampshire Republicans Party Chairman Wayne MacDonald released the following statement, following the elections.

“I would like to congratulate all the Republican wins across the state.  While these elections are non-partisan, we know that those office holders who are registered Republicans hold the same ideals of lower taxes and less spending and will work hard to make sure that their local governments are held accountable for what they do with the taxpayers dime.  These municipal seats are the first line of government and the place to start trimming the fat. With successes across the state and the unprecedented land-slide by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, we see that the public is asking for fiscal restraint.  We saw last night gains on Council and Aldermanic seats even in city’s such as Portsmouth Democrat voters far outweigh Republicans.  This says, party registration aside, people know they cannot afford the liberal spending ways of the Democrats and want more of a balance in order to pull in the reigns on spending.

“With municipal elections over, we will all turn our attention back to the Presidential Primary race and to the elections for 2012.  The results last night demonstrate that the public is ready to bring some real responsibility to government and we look forward to the year to come.”
