Chairman Bond,

I have had enough of the Republican Party's negative, personal
attacks.  By waging such a campaign, you have shown little regard
for the truth and little respect for the American people.

As I am sending this message to you, I am also informing you that
I will vote for Bill Clinton/Al Gore.  The Democratic Party and its

Is it true that, under the Privacy Act, the State Dept. can't go
through anyone's passport files without their written permission?
(i.e. it is immune from the FOIA).
 
If such is the case, how can anybody be aware that there are pages
missing from it?

No, the Democratic Party doesn't prey on people's fear; instead they
play upon people's class jealousy.

Is it really?  College education used to be much cheaper than it is today 
with less government support.  Communication (which is a large part of 
education) is a lot cheaper and easier today than it was at any time in 
the past, so my guess would be that it would be possible to make it 
cheaper even than it used to be.

The fact that the sales were being made to the Iraqi military
establishment, or known agents of said establishment, should
have been a major clue to the Reagan/Bush administration.

Another problem is the sales were being financed using money that
was intended to subsidize the purchase of American agricultural
products.  Money that should have been used to purchase American
grain to feed hungry Iraqis was instead used to bolster the Iraqi
military, which now oppresses thoses same Iraqis.

Your tax dollars at work!  :-)

                  LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE ARRESTED, BEATEN


St. Louis -- Robert Stockhausen, District 3 Congressional Candidate of the
Libertarian Party, was arrested at approximately 4pm CST for taking
pictures of Marrou supporters from beyond a police line.

Nearly a dozen armed officers brutalized Mr. Stockhausen spraying him
with mace, kicking him and dragging him across the ground.

Stockhausen, a family man with a wife and five children, considers himself a
pacifist and did not resist.

Over two hundred supporters of Libertarian Presidential Candidate Andre
Marrou are participating in a demonstration in St. Louis to protest
Marrou's exclusion from the debates.  Marrou is on the ballot in all fifty
states DC and Guam.

Rick Raemisch, Dane County Sheriff 210 Martin Luther King Blvd.

	As I am sure you are aware, I have declared my candidacy
for the office you currently hold, and to which you seek
re-election. I have registered my candidacy with the Dane County
Clerk. This letter formally notifies you of my intention to
personally campaign among the elegible voters in your custody at
the Dane County Jail and Ferris Center. I intend to visit these
prisoners in company of a voter registrar. We will be willing to
submit to a search before entering secured areas.

	You are reported in the Oct. 1 Isthmus as being unwilling
to approve my visit citing security concerns.  In view of my
willingness to co- operate on particulars in arranging access, I
can only conclude that your real reason for obstructing such
visits is concern for your job security.

	If this is indeed the case I believe your use of your
position to obstruct my campaign activity constitutes malfeasance
sufficient to cause your removal from office and criminal
prosecution. In any event I am prepared to bring action before the
Wisconsin Elections Board and/or Dane County Circuit Court to
compel access to all eligible voters in your custody.

	I also hereby request (persuent to the Wisconsin Open
Records Law) to be informed of any arrangement your department has
made to enable all eligible voters in your custody on Nov. 3 to
exercise their right to vote, and to inform them of the steps they
must take to do so. When I was in custody in the Ferris Center in
1986 I was told prisoners would only be allowed to vote by
absentee ballot. This is insufficient, as it disenfranchises any
individual placed in custody after the absentee voting deadline. I
strongly recomend you immediately take steps to insure sufficient
staffing for Nov. 3 that prisoners unable to vote absentee may be
safely escorted to their designated polling place. Since there are
candidates for Federal office on the Ballot this year, your
failure to do so could violate Federal, as well as Wisconsin,
Election Law.

	Of course if US household income was $1 Trillion, then $16 Billion is
chicken feed? :)  Such fun with statistics.

	Let's throw in the fact that the "poor" (quotes because what defines
poor depends on what agenda you are promoting :) spend twice their income.  So
that puts the US at 32%, or on top of the heap.

	So we really are #1!!!

Let's not forget two very important commodities :

		(1)		money

		(2)		information


Both are preferred by covert operators, because they are harder to trace.

Both George Bush and Saddam Hussein are covert operators, and they have
a well-established and well-documented relationship with one another, as
existed between Manuel Noriega and George Bush.

There's no proof that such exchanges happened. At least, not publically.
But don't let that persuade you that it never happened. There is a lot
of evidence, and it will only accumulate as the years pass.

	I fear I hear the whine of totalitarianism here. Tobacco

	product in its best light as do auto companies, laundry
	soap companies or even MTV. If you feel something is
	lacking, you are welcome to create alternate commercials
	bearing your point of view. 

	It is well known that tobacco consumers have been singled
	out to be the new 'niggers' of the 90s. The stats linking
	random smoke to physical danger could just have easily been
	compiled to prove it is dangerous to be in the presence of
	african-americans. Would you ban af-ams from public places
	as well on 'safety' grounds ? 

	Bigotry is bigotry. The anti-tobacco movement seeks to 
	legitimize bigotry against a large class of people, with
	all the horrible consequences of class discrimination, 
	when the real risk is very very low. Such approved
	bigotry is a hundred times more dangerous to the ideal of
	a free state and the futures of its citizens than is any
	amount of tobacco smoke. Nothing but nothing justifies
	treating a group of people as inferior or worthy of
	indiscriminate rejection, reduction of civil rights or
	outright cruelty.

events that are on television and pay movie production 
companies to display their products in movies that will 
eventually be on television?

	First, we all know that hard alcohol and tobacco 
advertisements on television have been out illegal for some  
time. Yet somehow these manufacturers are able to display 
their products in movies that are being shown on TV. Also, 
these tobacco manufactures display their products in sporting 
events, such as Auto Racing, and American foot ball. Now, these
are events lasting for hours, and these products continue to 
appear and often more then once in the course of these events, 
For Instance, in the Houston Astro Dome a certain tobacco 
manufacture has a bill board strategically placed so that 
when a team is kicking an extra point or field goal and the 
broadcasting company is showing how the extra point or field 
goal looks as if from the kickers point of view  the viewers 
see this huge tobacco bill board on television. Some of us 
might know that the kickers can smoke, but we don't need to 
know what his favorite brand is. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
picking on Houston they have an excellent American Football 
team, these types of billboards are all over sporting events
I assure you when seeing The *** racing Indi car screaming 
past at 200mph I do not see the SURGEONS GENERALS WARNING.
