election day blogging

Spoke with Henry County board of election--turnout is low. Get out to VOTE!!!

Also there has popped up an issue about Jim Powell candidate in primary race for Public Service COmmision that I have just found out about today.

The state party asked me to verify the issue going on with Jim Powell for Henry County. Appears notices were posted that Jim Powell was removed from ballot earlier this week by Sec of State--called Henry County Board of elections around 11 am today and they stated that the notice was posted but that the court order was received last night and the notices were pulled and that Jim Powell's name is on the ballot. Appears that some counties still had up the posted notice. Please pass on this info to any who might be able to follow up on this for you locally so that we know whats going on with this issue. Follow ups with your county board of elections would be important.

Out of courtesy I am passing on this message from Jim Powell. Hopefully the media will look into this to find out what and why this has occured.

Please share far and wide so that we find out what the story on this issue is

Jim - please share far and wide. Thanks.

Friends

In a partisan political move Secretary of State Karen Handel
disqualified me as a candidate on Thursday, July 10th but failed to
notify me. I heard about it on Sunday night from the rumor mill and
called yesterday to confirm the rumor. My attorneys went to the
Fulton County Superior Court and a Judge issued a Stay. After the
election today, I will go back to the Superior Court and formally
appeal Handel's decision. In her decision to disqualify me, Secretary
Handel overturned a Judge's decision (June 24) that had already
determined that I am a resident. This partisan action has received
considerable play in the media and I just wanted to assure you that I
am committed as ever to being elected to the Public Service Commission
in November. In fact, Handel's decision has made me more determined
if that is possible.

So, the good news is that I am still a candidate and I expect to win
today. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Please remember to vote
for me today in the Democratic Primary. Your support is very
important to me.

To help clarify the events, my son put up a post on last night that
does a great job at articulating what happened yesterday. Please
check it out: http://www.infoaccelerator.net/blog/post.cfm/close-encounters-with-dirty-georgia-politics

Here is the link to the AJC article:
http://www.ajc.com/news/content/business/stories/2008/07/14/psc_candidate.html

All 159 Election Boards have been ordered to remove all signs, posters
or notices regarding the disqualification. When you go and vote today
please look around to make sure this happened. Should you find any
such sign, poster or notice that addresses the disqualification, I
need to know about it ASAP.

Here isworld of warcraft gold Shep O'Neal with the story.Mike Flannery, the agent wow powerlevelingof the Interurban Express Company leaned over runescape moneythe desk in the company's office in Westcote and shook his fist. Mister Morehouse, angry world of warcraft goldand red, stood on the runescape goldother side of the desk, shaking with fury. The argument had been long wow power levelingand hot. At last, Mister Morehouse had become speechless. The cause of the trouble wow polay on the desk between the two men. It was a box with two Guinea pigs inside."Do asyou like them." shouted Flannery, "Pay for wow orthem and take them. Or don't pay for them and leave them here. Rules aredofus kamasrules, Mister Morehouse. And Mike Flannery is not going to break them." "But you stupid idiot!" shouted Mister Morehouse, madlyworld of warcraft gold shaking a thin book beneath the dofus kamasagent's nose. "Can't you read it here in your own book of transportation rates? Pets, domestic, Franklin toLord of the Rings Online Gold Westcote, if LOTRO Goldcorrectly boxed, twenty-five fly for fun penyacents each." He threw flyffthe book on the desk. "What more do you want? Aren't they Pets, Aren't they domestic? Aren't they correctly boxed? What?"He turned and walked Final Fantasy XI gilback and forth rapidly with a ffxi gilfurious look on his face. "Pets, " he said,"P-E-T-S, twenty-five cents each, twoeq2 plat times twenty-five is fifty. Can you understand eq2 goldthat? I offer you fifty cents." Flannery reached Lord of the Rings Online Goldfor the book. He ran wow powerlevelinghis hand through the pages LOTRO Goldand stopped at page sixty-four.

Mister Morehouse shook his head savagely. "Nonsense," he shouted,"confounded nonsense! I tell you. That rule means common pigs, not Guinea pigs." "Pigs is pigs." Flannery said firmly. Mister Morehouse bit his lip and thenworld of warcraft gold flung his arms out wildly. "Very well," he shouted " You shall hear of this. Your president shall hear of this. It is an outrage. I have offered you fifty cents. You refuse world of warcraft goldit. Keep the pigs until you are ready to take the fifty cents. But, by Gorge, Sir, if one hair of those pigs' heads is harmed, I will have the law on you." He turned and walked wow power levelingout, slamming the door.
Flannery carefully lifted the box from the desk and put it in a corner. Mister Morehouse world of warcraft goldquickly wrote a letter to the president of the transportation express company. The president answered, informing Mister Morehouse that all claims for overcharge should be sent to the Claims Department. Mister Morehouse wrote to the Claims Department. Onecheap wow gold week later, he received the answer. The Claims Department said it had discussed the matter with the agent at Westcote. The agent said Mister world of warcraft goldMorehouse had refused to accept the two Guinea pigs shipped to him, therefore the department said Mister Morehouse cheap wow goldhad no claim against the company and should write to its Tariff Department. Mister Morehouse wrote toworld of warcraft gold the Tariff Department. He stated his case clearly. The head of the Tariff Department read Mister Morehouse's buy wow goldletter. "Ah,Guinea pigs," he said,"probably starved to death by this time." He wrote to the agent, asking why the world of warcraft goldshipment was held up. He also wanted to know if the Guinea pigs were still in good health.Before answering, agent wow power levelingFlannery wanted to make sure his report was up-to-date, so he went to the back of the office and looked intoworld of warcraft gold the cage. Good lord, they were now eight wow gold kaufenof them. All well,and eating like hippopotamuses. He went back to the dofus kamasoffice and explained to the head of the Tariff Department what the rules said about pigs. And as for the condition of thekamas dofus Guinea pigs, said Flannery, they were all well, but there were eight of them now,all good eaters.
