US lawmakers request UN observers for November 2 presidential election

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Several members of the House of Representatives have requested the United Nations (news - web sites) to send observers to monitor the November 2 US presidential election to avoid a contentious vote like in 2000, when the outcome was decided by Florida.

Recalling the long, drawn out process in the southern state, nine lawmakers, including four blacks and one Hispanic, sent a letter Thursday to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) asking that the international body "ensure free and fair elections in America," according to a statement issued by Florida representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, who spearheaded the effort.


"As lawmakers, we must assure the people of America that our nation will not experience the nightmare of the 2000 presidential election," she said in the letter.


"This is the first step in making sure that history does not repeat itself," she added after requesting that the UN "deploy election observers across the United States" to monitor the November, 2004 election.


The lawmakers said in the letter that in a report released in June 2001, the US Commission on Civil Rights "found that the electoral process in Florida resulted in the denial of the right to vote for countless persons."


The bipartisan commission, they stressed, determined "that the 'disenfranchisement of Florida's voters fell most harshly on the shoulders of black voters' and in poor counties." Both groups vote predominantly Democratic in US elections.


The commission also concluded, the lawmakers added, that "despite promised nationwide reforms (of the voting system) ... adequate steps have not been taken to ensure that a similar situation will not arise in 2004 that arose in 2000."




Why don't these crack reporters (or crackhead reporters) list the members of this so called commission?

Why in all hell would we let the UN regulate one of our elections -- we all know the UN is pro-communist(democrap) so they would side with Comrade Kerry in any case.

[whirlwind]

now this better not be true! why the heck didnt they regulate/observe iraq's last election? i say its time to give the un an eviction notice rufus style!...staple it to a burning tire and roll it in the building! if they do this it seems to me it could be the first step to the un deploying troops in OUR borders! this must not stand.

[PAPA G]

not only the UN, but those US lawmakers need the burning tire treatment too!!! they are at the heart of thee problem, seeking to overthrow our soverignty.

if it did happen i wonder how that would influence the election???

[whirlwind]

i wonder how many people it would take in each town to say the un observers forced them to vote for kerry before the backlash would be heard around the world? not that i would ever suggest that any american do such a dastardly deed! but i hope none of the nazi like tactics of those observers forces me to vote for kerry then call fox news the next minutue! (insert maniacal laugh here)

I have blanket e mailed EVERY Senator and Congressman in my State and will do so with every one in the country to tell them this is not just a bad idea, it is a colossally stupid idea thought up by half baked idiots that want to lose their next election....

I am sending letters to follow and am also contacting the Federalist, Grassfire, the NRA, the GOA and all major conservative talk show types.

I am currently re writing the letter before doing so and will call, e mail and write the White House on this....

This is worse than letting Algore and Slick Willy oversee the election..... :insane:

[Rufus Rhastus J]

Well, yes! I was thinking just that! And, the vision it provokes is so pleasant! But, the words I'd use to discribe the scene and the actions leading up to the final scene are just to awful for the forum. These folks are nothing less than traitors and really, they should be removed from office useing force....and lots of force!
