[Voterescue] VoteRescue Radio 8/1: Paddy Shaffer, Virginia Brooks

[Vickie Karp]

Hello from VoteRescue Radio - Where Citizens Count, One Vote at a Time!
This Friday, August 1st, from 6 - 8 pm CDT, we welcome back returning
guest PADDY SHAFFER, founder and director of the Ohio Election Justice
Campaign (OEJC); and OEJC member VIRGINIA BROOKS, two of eight plaintiffs
who have filed suit in Ohio on July 10th against the Ohio Secretary of
State's office.  In the case, the OEJC is asking Hon. Judge Algenon
Marbley to begin criminal contempt proceedings for the destruction of
ballots from the November 2004 election.  The Ohio Election Justice
Campaign (OEJC) submitted over 1000 pages of supporting documents. Paddy
Shaffer is an amazing election integritiy activist who, along with her
organization, The Ohio Election Justice Campaign, has been holding Ohio's
new Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and her staff  (and Kenneth
Blackwell before her) accountable to the citizens on a number of critical
election fraud issues there for years.  She has been one of the primary
leaders in Ohio attempting to eliminate the use of electronic voting
machines there.  Among her many actions, Paddy was in New Hampshire
helping Bev Harris and others monitor the Recount of the Republican
Primary this past January; in 2006; is a frequent contributor to OpEd
News.  Paddy also served as Robert Fitrakis's campaign manager in
2006 during his bid in the Ohio governor's race. Virginia Brooks  is a
member of the Ohio Election Justice Campaign, and another of the eight
Pro Se Litigants seeking to intervene in the Federal Election Case titled
"King Lincoln et al v. Blackwell (now Brunner).  Virginia is from Ashland
County, Ohio and is the State Chair of the Reform Party of Ohio.  This
group is affiliated with the New Frontier Coalition, for which she serves
as a steering committee member, and which was founded to support any
third-party candidate, veterans group, seniors, etc. as long as they
stand for the Constitution of the United States of America and agree to
return this country to a Constitutional and representative Government  In
the case before Judge Marbley, King Lincoln, et al. v. Brunner, et al.,
the judge had issued specific orders directing Ohio's 88 county boards of
election to preserve all ballots from the election until a decision was
rendered in the case.  At least 56 county boards assert they have
destroyed some ballots from 2004; seven counties assert they have
destroyed all ballots.  This citizen-initiated action is pro se
litigation in which the plaintiffs act as theier own attorneys. 

We are excited to have Paddy and Virginia coming on the show to explain
the details of this courageous lawsuit action.

Guest Co-hosting this Friday will be my friend and book partner, Abbe
Waldman DeLozier!
