Dear friends,
I received the following email from Jim Wetzel and I urge you to follow his example. This election is very close and we all need to do everything we possibly can. Please follow the link in Jim's message and sign up. Our country cannot afford to have Obama and a Democrat controlled congress. I apologize to any of you who may prefer Obama. I don't know for sure who you are so I am mailing this to my entire list.
Dick Smith
FROM JIM WETZEL
“I have gotten satisfaction in doing something grass roots and effective by joining the McCain campaign phone bank. Click on this link http://www.johnmccain.com/dashboard and then select the phone bank button:to sign up.
After enrolling you will complete instructions for making calls to voters in a selection of states (I have selected North Carolina). The names and tel #s are served up one at a time in batches of 20 with a script for both calls and messages, and an after inquiry as to the outcome of the call. It is a neat self contained program. I have AT&T unlimited long distance so I don't have cost problem but they do have a link for getting you on to a paid for call program.
It would be great if we could get Republican Club members to join in. Everything to keep Obama out of the White House.
Have you wondered why Michelle Obama has been taken off the campaign trail? Ponder it.
OK? I have to make some calls.”
Jim Wetzel

Aiken Republican Club Luncheon October 20th
Donna and I attended the Republican Club monthly luncheon today and were privileged to hear an excellent presentation from Ashley Landess , President of the South Carolina Policy Council. The main topic was a proposed law to require our representatives to record their votes rather than use the voice vote that makes it impossible for their constituents to know how they voted.
Our elected officials have hidden behind this procedure for too long and we must demand that they make our government processes more open. Unfortunately many of our representatives have opposed this legislation which has been supported by Governor Sanford and is also supported by Shane Massey our Senator from District 25 who is running for reelection.
Please contact your State Senator and State Representative and demand that they support this legislation. Several in our delegation had said they oppose the law because of the cost. They estimate that recording the votes would cost $55 per elected official for each vote. In this day of high tech electronics I have to believe that our representatives are simply looking for an excuse. Jane Vaughters and I have fought for more openness in city government and I urge you to do the same for the State.
Our elected officials would do well to heed the very wise observation of Thomas Jefferson that appears on the website of the South Carolina Policy Council.
“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.”
Thomas Jefferson

Legality of Absentee Voting Locations
You may have read in the Aiken Standard about the controversy over Aiken County having satellite absentee voting locations in Kalmia Plaza, North August and Wagener. The paragraph below is an excerpt from the SC Code of Laws. Note the first sentence. It is amazing there is any question about where absentee voting can take place. This election is bound to be contentious. I hope the Secretary of State and Board of Elections will follow the exact letter of the law to avoid the throwing out of any ballots cast in good faith.
In each county there must be established an absentee voting precinct located in the office of the county board of registration. The county election commission, municipal election commission, county committee for each political party, or executive committee of each municipal party in the case of primary elections is responsible for the tabulation and reporting of ballots at the absentee voting precinct. The absentee ballots must remain in the custody of the county board of registration until transferred to the county election commission, municipal election commission, county committee for each political party or executive committee of each municipal party for the purpose of tabulation and reporting as provided in Section 7-15-420.

North of the Border
From the MANITOBA HERALD, Canada (a very underground paper):
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the
past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The possibility of a McCain/Palin election is prompting the exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, and agree with Bill O'Reilly. Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night.
'I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,' said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota . The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. 'He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?' In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. 'Not real effective,' he said. 'The liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk.'
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves. 'A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions,' an Ontario border patrolman said. 'I found one carload without a drop of drinking water. 'Th ey did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though.'
When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the McCain administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to shoot wolves from airplanes, deny evolution, and act out drills preparing them for the Rapture.
In recent days, liberals have turned to sometimes-ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers on Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney hits to prove they were alive in the '50s. 'If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence WelkShow, we get suspicious about their age,' an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies. 'I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy justcan't support them,' an Ottawa resident said. 'How many art-history and English majors does one country need?'
