EDITOR'S NOTE: We are experiencing difficulties in delivering newsletters to AOL recipients due, apparently, to AOL deciding that the word "Rumors" in the title is to be treated as spam. Therefore, we are spelling it as "Umors" so that it slips through the AOL filters. As time goes on, we may have to drop the "Umors" as well due to it just plain being annoying to have to trick the AOL servers.
Coming Soon To Your Video Store: Flaggers Gone Wild!(
Note: The following letter was e-mailed by Ken Waters, a self-proclaimed "flagger". It was sent to the both Republican and Democratic state legislature members.)
"As payback, for Sonny Perdue and the Republican party for selling out the people of Georgia on an honest vote that would include the stolen flag of 1956, we the flaggers intend to destroy the Republican party in the 04, and 06 elections.
When President Bush comes to town,
he can expect to be flagged, with a huge sea of Confederate flags. I suspect that of course Sonny Perdue will want to be there to greet our President, and Bush can blame Perdue for the media circus we intend to put on.
Perdue can tell President Bush that what he is seeing is
"our healing!" We also intend to see to it that the turncoat republicans lose control of the senate in 04, and the Governors mansion in 06.
Sonny Perdue was a turncoat just a few years ago when he switched from the democratic party to the GOP, and if there were NOT the 4 turncoat democrats switching to the GOP last year, the dems would still hold the State Senate.
So what has really changed? Nothing. There is no 2 party rule under the gold dome, just the same ole same ole with turncoat donkeys pretending to be elephants.
Sonny Perdue lied to the people of Georgia that elected him. His bogus referendum is no better or no more imaginative than Saddam Hussein's previous Iraqi presidential elections. Yeah, the Iraqi's like us Georgians will get to vote, but ONLY on the Governments choices, and not ours. Thats why Saddam always won, and so will Sonny's ego Rag.
OH, and Sonny Perdue can expect for the next 3 1/2 years to get the same treatment that Roy Barnes got the past 2 years, and it starts like tomorrow.
I will say that State Representative Don Parsons is the ONLY name removed from the flagging activists turncoat list, and is free to pursue his political career with out any campaign resistance from us, or us working for his future opponents.
There are consequences to actions. President Bush when campaigning will have to stay out of the State of Georgia,
or he will be flagged. Thinks President Bush is going to like our style of "healing"?
Yeah Yeah Yeah you say. We wont get anywhere near President Bush with our 1st amendment rights protests. Well, they might can keep us a few blocks down the road, but the news cameras will find us I assure you.
Of course you democrats will be eating this up, and you Republicans can see the thanks you are going to get for selling us out.
Kinda ironic ain't it?"
Kenneth Waters (one of the flaggers)
Editor's Note: If there was any money available in the Federal Budget, perhaps President Bush will consider quarantining the entire state of Georgia because no telling how contagious this psychosis might be. We wouldn't want to infect Alabama with this, they are backwards enough as it is.
These flaggers consistently demonstrate that they have no clue that the Civil War is over, and that their ancestors
LOST THE WAR!!!.
Next thing you know, Great Britain will be demanding that the United States hoist their flag instead of our Stars and Stripes.
On the other hand, we cannot help but think how delightful a sight it would be to see one or several of the flaggers tangle with POTUS's Secret Service detail.
The 2003 State GOP Nominating Committee – Seems Like Old Times…except worse.Rumors have it that Ralph Reed is going to put his mark on the Georgia GOP as he exits his chairmanship by paying back his good old foxhole buds for getting him into office. The nominating committee consists of the following individuals:
Sadie Fields
Kay Godwin (chair)
Judy Grammar
Cathy Hildebrand
Don Layfield
Doug Silvas
Pat TippettNow, our PV research team was doing some dumpster-diving behind Sadie Fields' office and we discovered a first draft of the gauntlet of questions prepared by this committee. They are as follows, with the points given or subtracted based on a candidate's answers:
1) Are you gay? (-10 for Y, 0 for N)
2) Do you know anyone who is gay? (-5 for Y, 0 for N)
3) Have you ever thought about being gay? (-20 for Y, 0 for N)
4) Are you a Christian? (+10 for Y, 0 for N)
5) If the answer to #5 was No, have you ever considered being a Christian? (+5 for Y, 0 for N)
6) Do you have any Christian friends? (+5 for Y, -10 for N)
7) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "The only good Republican is a Christian Republican." (+20 for A, -20 for D).
8) Are you pro-life enough for us (keeping in mind that our definitions may change from time to time)? (+25 for Y, -25 for N)
9) Have you ever participated in a KKK march? (+20 for Y, 0 for N)
10) Do you own either a copy of the Confederate Battle Flag or the 1956 Georgia Flag? (+25 for Y, 0 for N).If you're a candidate for a State GOP office, you should print this off, fill it out and have it prepared when you visit the Nominating Committee room. Wear one of those 1956 Georgia Flag lapel stickers for bonus points as well; Tippett and Godwin will secretly add 10 points to your score.
Editor's Note: We'd like to think that the foregoing would be read as it was intended to be: a parody. But, there is more than one individual on this nominating committee who could very well turn this parody Q&A into reality.
Midtown Music Festival: Free Speech for All Except Young RepublicansRumors have it that when sex, drugs, and rock n' roll are involved, the American Flag and Republicans are not welcome.
Take, for example, the experience the
Atlanta Young Republicans (AYRs) went through at this past weekend's Midtown Music Festival. Since 1997, the AYRs have participated as a volunteer beer vendors for the annual music event. Every year, they have been allowed to hang a banner that says "Atlanta Young Republicans." Every year, they have volunteered their time to work for tips and a small percentage of the concession revenue for fundraising for their club. Every year, they have complied with all the rules of the Festival and did an outstanding job. Except, for this year's festival. At this year's festival, they ran into a gauntlet of Socialist thugs who were running the 3-day event.
The festival was managed by the nationally-recognized concessionaire,
Aramark, a company that, up until this point, we didn't know were so anti-American.
On Friday (1st day of the festival), the AYRs hoisted an American flag outside their booth. An Aramark field manager ordered them to remove it, stating to an AYR that it was a "political statement" and no political statements were allowed at the festival. An hour or so after that, the field manager's boss OKed the hoisting of the American flag.
Next thing, the AYR's hung their banner in the booth that had their name and their Website listed on it. The same Aramark field manager came along and demanded that they take it down because it was displaying a "political statement" and no political statements were allowed at the Festival. Yet another field supervisor comes along after that and makes an executive decision that "No, all this shows is the name of the organization. They are not handing-out pamphlets or anything, so, this is okay."
Well, the original Aramark field manager didn't like having her authority usurped, so she proceeded to fabricate a list of supposed violations of the AYR booth and that evening, turned it in to some higher-up in Aramark. The result was that the AYRs were told the next day (Saturday) that they were not allowed to return to the festival. The AYRs are now considering legal action against Aramark for breach of contract.
Now, if all this sounds like some sour grapes, it possibly would to us as well were it not for a little opinion piece published in the Thursday edition of the AJC. This appeared on Page A19 and it was written by a guy who went to the festival with his wife and two children on Friday afternoon. To those who remember Friday, it was a rather damp day in Atlanta. This is their story:
"We showed up Friday afternoon with two children and, given the weather forecast, two umbrellas. Although nowhere in the advertising literature did it say that umbrellas would not be permitted inside, the staff confiscated them, explaining that they could be used as 'weapons to hit people,' especially when drunk.
A couple of points: First, if event organizers are worried about people getting drunk and beating each other up, why allow alcohol to be sold?
Second, you don't have to be too smart to figure that a family with children is highly unlikely to get drunk and start whacking people indiscriminately while listening to Bob Dylan sing about peace and love.
Needless to say, 10 minutes later, it started pouring relentlessly and the kids got soaked. It gets worse. We came out to find that the security manager was sheltering herself with the very umbrella she had confiscated from us.
On being rebuked, she responded, 'Take your friggin' umbrella and get lost' and, to our horror, called for a police officer to escort us out for 'disturbing the peace.'"
- Namita Devidayal MotwanePV Notes: Looks like
Aramark is run by a bunch of slimebag Anti-American thugs. Either that, or they don't bother screening their employees too well. The AYR story, coupled with this couple's experience, could mark the beginning of a very bad public relations problem for Aramark. If we can help progress that problem, don't hesitate to call on us...
