A story on the Kochs in Michigan.

They stay in the background, but make no mistake, this IS their plan for the rest of us.

Hope that this plan is stopped dead in it's tracks, because if it comes to your state, you're not going to like it.........

"Mitt Romney? Yes, but before him, Rick Snyder played the lead role in this made-for-TV political drama--and it hasn't worked out well at all for the people of Michigan. Two years ago, this former corporate chieftain and founder of two venture capital outfits stepped into Michigan's political arena, snatching the GOP gubernatorial nomination from the grasp of a congressman, the state attorney general, and a couple of other experienced pols. The times were right for a Mr. Fix-it--with Michigan's key auto industry in the ditch and middle-class wages decimated, working families were struggling, poverty was on the rise, and whole cities were on the brink of broke.

Florida GOP Fired Romney Consultant's Voter Registration Firm After Fraudulent Forms Reported in Palm Beach

Thursday, 27 September 2012 10:45 By Brad Friedman, The Brad Blog | Report

http://truth-out.org/news/item/11798-florida-gop-fired-romney-consultants-voter-registration-firm-after-fraudulent-forms-reported-in-palm-beach

The Republican Party of Florida's top recipient of 2012 expenditures, a firm by the name of Strategic Allied Consulting, was just fired on Tuesday night, after more than 100 apparently fraudulent voter registration forms were discovered to have been turned in by the group to the Palm Beach County, FL Supervisor of Elections.

The firm appears to be another shell company of Nathan Sproul, a longtime, notorious Republican operative, hired year after year by GOP Presidential campaigns, despite being accused of shredding Democratic voter registration forms in a number of states over several past elections.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Strategic Allied Consulting has been paid some $667,000 this year by the FL GOP, presumably to run its voter registration campaigns in the state. That number, however, does not account for another identical payment made in August. The Palm Beach Post is reporting tonight that the firm received "more than $1.3 million" from the Republican Party of Florida "to register new voters."

The firm is not only tied to the FL GOP, but also to the Mitt Romney Campaign, which hired Sproul as a political consultant late last year, despite years of fraud allegations against his organizations in multiple states.

Moreover, the firm is also reportedly operating similar voter registration operations on behalf of the Republican Party, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, in a number of key battleground states this year, including North Carolina, Virginia and Colorado. Strategic Allied has recently taken steps to hide their ownership by Sproul's notorious firm, Sproul & Associates.

Deep in the heart of Florida.

Now you seeing where the real voter and election fraud are.

Deeply ingrained in the (R)epelican't party.

The last thing the cons want is democratically elected representatives running the country. Their perfectly happy with their wholly owned government subsidiary.

The voter purges we are currently experiencing, were one of the main aims of the Koch funded "charity" known as ALEC.

Is it really any surprise that the attack on freedom in Michigan is also funded at least in part by the Kochs?

Good article. Thanks for providing it.

[-] -1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 12 years ago

It's accurate and well written. Thanks for reading it.

Take it as a warning as to what the Kochs may be planning for your State too.

It's my belief that their long term goal is control of the large amount of fresh water, here a bouts.

I wouldn't put anything past anyone with that much money and that kind of determination to mold the country to their desires.

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 12 years ago

As well you shouldn't.

Keep in mind their grandfather founded the John Birch Society too.

Their good friend, Paul Weyrich founded ALEC as well, and after his death the Kochs took over funding it.

How much legislation written since, has their finger prints all over it?

What? Talking really fast? And was that name-calling appropriate there?

You seem to be threatening violence or something. I was just clarifying.

So you talk about owning guns and you suggest axe-murdering Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts and you've called for the murder of Republicans in general -- but that post about "putting your affairs in order" shouldn't concern anyone?

Am I understanding this correctly?

You honestly do seem pretty unbalanced to me, and I kind of hope that the FBI already knows your real name.

Okay yeah, that will make the investigation much simpler.

Try not to shoot any children when you come unhinged, okay?

So you keep press clippings on mass shooters too?

[-] -1 points by TechJunkie (3029) from Miami Beach, FL 12 years ago

Yes, I'm imagining you posting from a tiny, dark room with the walls covered in press clippings with lines drawn between them. And a freezer full of body parts in the next room.

Fun stuff, eh?

Repeal of the EFM law is on the ballot, but it took at lot to get it there.

Meanwhile, with auto industry rebounding, Gov Snyder is attempting to take credit for it, and that's just not so.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 12 years ago

Economic downturns always hit the auto industry first, so we are used to it, but this shit is over the top, even for (R)epelican'ts.

It's not in the national spotlight, because the Kochs don't want it there.

No one wants to lose the advertizing dollar.

I too am surprised that Michael hasn't responded more forcefully. Though you have to admit the MSM avoids him as of late.

Perhaps it's the subject of his next film?

The mayhem here in Michigan has been perpetrated over and over by corporations. Most of us it seems, yearn for stability.
