State Elections Board needs Libertarian
|
The Prescott Journal. Published Letter to the Editor. February 7, 2003. Last Wednesday, the Libertarian appointed to the Wisconsin State Elections Board in result of Ed Thompson's November vote total (over 10 percent of all votes cast in the election) will participate in his first State Elections Board meeting. However, Adam Dick, the Libertarian appointee, will be privy to a hearing on whether he should remain a part of the board or not. You see, Dick is a member of a political party, and organizations ranging from the AARP to the League of Women Voters have suddenly found the need to keep the board non-partisan. It's ludicrous that the AARP, the League of Women Voters and other organizations of their caliber are now supporting a partisan Elections Board when those organizations all endorse status quo candidates for public office each November. And isn't it strange that the movement to change to a partisan board has arisen after a third political party attained success - despite the traditional hurdles thrusted upon them by the Republicrats and the mainstream media? After 17 months, the State Elections Board has still not heard testimony from Don Fish, a former Democratic Party employee who alleged that the Democratic Party participated in the making of illegal voter lists. Fish's detailed arguments are on-line for all to view at http://www.donaldfish.com/complain/index.htm. Is the AARP, the League of Women Voters, the State Elections Board and the other organizations that signed a letter in support of the partisan State Elections Board worried that Libertarian Adam Dick will bring Fish's valid complaints to the sunlight - for all Wisconsin citizens to view? Finally, it would be a severe blow to democracy to remove Libertarian Adam Dick from the board because almost 185,000 Wisconsin voters have elected a Libertarian to the board. It wouldn't surprise me, but it would indeed be a shame if the State Elections Board and other status-quo organizations like the AARP dismissed the state of Wisconsin's corrupt government as determined by the voters last November when they cast their vote for clean government common man Ed Thompson. Let's bring back to Wisconsin's reputation as a state filled with fresh, clean government instead of the dirty, polluted air that currently infests our state. Aaron J. Biterman Brookfield |
