Below is an excerpt from the DNC web site regaurding a voters right to vote and to have it count. Concidering what is going on with our primary votes not being counted. I doubt the party motives even more now Even if by the convention things change they will have been successful in surpressing the vote in the affected states which I feel benifits Hillery and is probably the real motivation behind this and sensce there doesn't seam to be nearly the leval of opposition to these Tactics we must conclude you are more concerned with not getting in conflict with the status quoe.
FROM DNC WEB SITE
While the Democratic Party continues to work to protect every American's right to vote and have that vote counted, Republicans have aimed to create roadblocks for Americans to exercise their right to vote through restrictive voter ID laws, voter purging, and voter intimidation tactics.
So as my Senator, a Member of the Dem. party you are my last inside the system option I do not want to have to sue you and the rest of the DNC for depriving me of my constitutional rights. I have called your office and was angered by your staffs willingness to just accept this saying you have done what you could by filing a suit your self. what about being more vocal, organizing protest, A rally for "count our votes" not just letting it happen. when I became more angered and saying do I have to come to the office and get in your face she threatend to call the capital police to which I said go ahead and as I told them what is a citizen to do when there government allows a non-government club (DNC) to deny my most basic right? Cival Disobedeance is more American than what you and the DNC are doing.
Leaders such as Martain Luther King and thier followers are more honerable than Howard Dean and his supporters! or those who accept defeat even when they are being wronged.
Where will you Stand?

Satellites used in Home surveillance
No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Government using Space Satellites. There are documents on the Internet indicating that National Security satellites are unclassified, where more information can be found. Also, click on Satellites, Surveillance, and Torture. Satellites are not the only equipment used in spying and doing damage to citizens. Much like Satellites, there are ground units operating in an equivalent way, being able to penetrate walls of buildings doing surveillance and doing harm. Ground units for surveillance are even more covert, for they operate from neighboring buildings. Depending on the intensity, laser can produce small reddish defect in the skin and cut through nails of toes.
There is extreme danger of being spied and done harm without the person knowing. For most individuals, the damage done will appear to be a normal infirmity; even the doctor will view the ailment as normal sickness. Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a matter of using barriers checking to see if the pain continues. For the most part, it’’s nearly impossible to block surveillance. Once an individual has been located, using people on the ground”” coordinators””, the bombarding frequencies from either satellite and ground units can torture citizens endlessly, weakening, possibly causing death.
The END
Homeland Security Satellites dangerous to all U S Citizens.
Fear has gripped the Government and many people of The United States, causing havoc among all citizens. Not in history of civilization has such atrocities been realized. Spying and torture has become a common practice to any individual not living the productive life, people who live peacefully, people who are satisfied with their lives.
Once the Government considers a person or persons unproductive, they are considered alien and a danger to the society. The government fears these people for their disrupting the overall progress of the American Way. Growth and prosperity has become a major concern to those people dwelling in luxury and vanity, while individuals who are satisfied with the common way of living are scrutinized and condemned for being lazy and indifferent to any advancement.
America is the product of devastation to the planet Earth, and to the realm of outer space. The government has sold-out to the destruction of the planet with endless violations, removing the material resources and destroying natural environment, ending nearly all ecosystems of other forms of life.
The End

Why has'nt Senator Bill Nelson contacted me about my Generator safety product that will keep unsuspecting Florida residents from death due to Carbon Monoxide
WWW.ENVIROGENCAT.COM This was developed to surpass S 1510, What I have is a real attempt at approaching this safety consumer issue
He's the same as Honda. Abolish electoral college, redistrict and have the UN monitor and run the vote. Denver and Florida. Honda already tried all this.
I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits have run out. My money has run out. I unable to obtain employment and need more time to continue my search for employment. I am at risk of losing my car. Gas prices continue to rise daily. I am highly skilled in my field. My State Rhode Island is one of the hardest hit with unemployment. I am 53 old and have worked hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. The Senate, House and President continue to play games as peoples life's are put in jeopardy. Totally disgusting. So all the extra time that I am not spending on looking for employment, I will dedicate to making sure any politician that votes nay on not extending unemployment insurance will be out of a job their next term by informing the public of their decision in every forum available. I will encourage others to do so as well. It is time in this country for the people to take control of their government again and take it out of the hands of the uninformed, out of touch, uncompassionate, ignorant, greedy, self absorbed fools that are the true terrorists ruining this country. Pass a fxxkxxg bill extending unemployment benefits or you will be out of a fxxkxxg job!!!!!!!!!
Move. You need to get some useful skills, you know something someone will PAY you to do. 53 years old and apparently most jobs are beneath you, but collecting from the government isn't beneath you, but should be.
This should stand as a shining example of what depending on government will do to you. The only person you should depend on is....YOU.
I find it hard to believe there are no Wal-marts, no McDonalds, no Burger Kings, no restaurants hiring cooks, wait staff or dishwashers in Rhode Island. It must be a vast wasteland in the Northeast. What is stopping you from working in MA or CT? There are towns in FL further away than those states are to RI.
