PROBLEM: Steve Curtis  the former chairman of the Colorado GOP  has been found guilty of voter fraud for forging his ex-wife’s signature on a ballot.
As The Denver Post reports   Curtis  may face up to three years in prison for forging  his  ex-wife’s signature on a Colorado ballot in November 2016 after she’d moved to South Carolina in 2015.  He  was arrested in February after handwriting analysis and DNA testing revealed  he ’d committed the forgery.
 Curtis  pleaded not guilty to the charge and claimed that  he ’d signed  his  ex-wife Kelly’s ballot during a middle-of-the-night diabetic episode and accidentally mailed it the next day.
As Salon noted earlier this year   Curtis  blamed Democrats for forging votes and committing voter fraud on his radio show last year.

SOLUTION: Steve Curtis

PROBLEM: But thereâs tragedy  too. On November 7  2010   Mr. Douglas Poole  died in the Virginia Beach jail.  He  had spent ten days there after being arrested for driving with a suspended license.  Mr. Poole  suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure and had  his  medications with  him   but was denied both  his  blood pressure medication (and  initially   his  insulin) and medical treatment by jail and medical staff.  Douglas Poole  was 54 years old  the father of three and grandfather of five. The medical staff were employees of a for-profit medical care company  Conmed Health Management  which had been awarded the Virginia Beach contract by Ken Stolle in 2010 after donating to his campaign. Hereâs a description of  Douglas Pooleâs  suffering and death from the decision in the lawsuit filed by  his  sister.
 Plaintiff  has pleaded sufficient facts to show that jail employees may have violated plaintiffâs constitutional rights. Indeed  that  Mr. Poole  had known serious medical issues  that  he  was never provided  his  blood pressure medication  that  he  was turned away after complaining of headaches  sudden blindness  and an inability to walk  and that  his  care was so direly neglected that  he  ultimately died from lack of treatment may be sufficient to satisfy the low threshold of Rule 8(a)(2) in proving that jail staff acted indifferently toward  Mr. Pooleâs  serious medical need.
Conmed  which according to the same legal decision had retained nearly all of the medical and nursing staff of the prior healthcare company  which itself had also come under scrutiny for providing sub-par medical care to inmates  ended up settling with the family out of court for $300 000. In 2011 and 2012  Conmed increased its annual donations from $1 000 to $2 500. Thatâs right   Douglas Poole âs days of suffering and entirely preventable death did not cause Stolle to end the contract or refuse donations from Conmed.
Now contrast the  Douglas Poole  tragedy with the crime of Kenneth Stolle  Jr.  Ken Stolleâs son and a Sheriffâs Deputy in Chesapeake. He was arrested for a DUI hit-and-run in Virginia Beach and got off with a $250 fine. Dadâs the Sheriff  Uncle Colinâs the county prosecutor: Connections can be the difference between life and death in Virginia Beach.

SOLUTION: Douglas Poole

PROBLEM: There have been âapparent attemptsâ to intimidate reporters working for international outlets who have reported on a state-sponsored campaign against  George Soros   the AP suggests  without citing any evidence to this effect.
The AP describes  Soros  benevolently as a âHungarian-American investor â a âphilanthropistâ and a âHolocaust survivor â while failing to mention the billionaireâs history of destabilizing governments for personal financial gain  funding left-wing campaigns and being convicted of insider trading.
 Soros   the AP alleges  âhas long promoted what  he  calls an âopen societyâ and supports controlled migration.  He  funds a university in Budapest and civic organizations  including some seen as critical of Orban.â
The AP criticizes the OrbÃ¡n governmentâs opposition to  Soros  along with their investigation into  his  attempts to bring  his  tremendous financial influence to bear on Hungaryâs political situation.

SOLUTION:
George Soros
