Right now I am making my own photovoltaic panels. I am making it all alone without the aid of my men. I'm utilizing the net as the only way to acheive that. I encountered a really awesome site which explains how to build pv panels and wind generators. The website explains all the steps involved in constructing photovoltaic panels.<br /><br />I'm not really sure about how accurate the info given there iz. If some guys over here who have experience with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the site it would be great and I would highly value it, cause I extremely take an interest in [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com/diy-solar-panel-construction-is-it-really-possible]solar panel construction[/URL].<br /><br />Thanks for reading this.

I'd say they still tilt left, but not as much as they used to. <BR/><BR/>I'd agree with you about the questions, but there have already been investigations. They found nothing--because there was nothing to be found.<BR/><BR/>Republicans simply don't bother with election fraud, because the benefit to any individual participant isn't enough to justify the risk. It works better for Democrats, because they can round up folks who will do anything for a pack of smokes or a $10 bill. Those folks aren't worried about being charged, because they know that no one ever really gets arrested for vote fraud--because it's too hard to track.<BR/><BR/>And the great worry about programming voting machines to report different results simply shows ignorance about the process. Even in an election that isn't recounted, the local officials do random checks of the actual ballots against the machine totals. The programmers don't know which precincts will be checked. If there were any significant differences, the whole set of machines can be checked.<BR/><BR/>The people who are alleging the fraud work the same way as 9/11 truthers. They pick some area to dispute, and make psuedoscientific arguments to "show" that the official story is false. If you point out the holes in their claims, they will not acknowledge what you say; they just go on to some other piece of "evidence."Gordon Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772014586181361069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-69746145954548912892008-12-23T10:57:00.000-05:002008-12-23T10:57:00.000-05:00Gordon,IMHO, further investigation is needed on th...Gordon,<BR/><BR/>IMHO, further investigation is needed on this subject.<BR/><BR/>There are too many unanswered questions on what happened in the 2004 election.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-66848295438958308312008-12-23T10:54:00.000-05:002008-12-23T10:54:00.000-05:00dmarks,Any newspaper that reports news that is unf...dmarks,<BR/><BR/>Any newspaper that reports news that is unflattering to the right is considered biased, and any newspaper that reports news that is unflattering to the left is considered biased.<BR/><BR/>I have plenty of Conservative friends who think FOX News is an unbiased, straight-talking, fair and balanced cable news station.<BR/><BR/>I have lots of Liberal friends who think the Washington Post is "in the tank" for conservatives.<BR/><BR/>And remember the "Liberal" New York Times saw fit to print everything Judith Miller reported in the run-up to the war in Iraq--Judith Miller, if you remember, was a friend of Scooter Libby and other neocons who saw the Iraq war as necessaary because Saddam Hussein was threatening the US with nuclear weapons.<BR/><BR/>Also in the run-up to the primaries, the NYTimes ran a front page story on the Clintons about how many days and nights they spent "together" in their New York home, implying, I don't know what.<BR/><BR/>And during the Clinton administration, the NYTimes ran many, many news stories, without attribution, ["a source who asked not to be named, etc.] on rumors about the Clintons' connections with various shady characters in Little Rock.<BR/><BR/>And I didn't agree with the NYTimes running the dubious story on John McCain and that blond lobbyist he supposedly had a fling with.<BR/><BR/>I have a strong feeling that Gordon, my talented biographer, will tell you that the Washington Post cannot be trusted.<BR/><BR/>But that's just me.<BR/><BR/>LOL!Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-3959543646939665822008-12-22T21:38:00.000-05:002008-12-22T21:38:00.000-05:00Shaw,I wasn't, and did not, dispute that Michael C...Shaw,<BR/><BR/>I wasn't, and did not, dispute that Michael Connell was the person described in the stories.

The GOP also announced plans to dispatch people to polling sites to challenge registrations of pre-selected voters in person—these plans were the subject of several last-minute lawsuits. Similar challenges also occurred in a number of other states, including Florida and Wisconsin.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Voter Registration Suppression: In Nevada, according to press reports, workers for a Republican funded private voter registration company that targeted registration efforts at Republicans destroyed forms filled out by Democrats. In Florida, several thousand students and other potential voters found that their party affiliations and addresses had been changed on their registration forms. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Deception: In African-American neighborhoods of Milwaukee, a flier purportedly from the "Milwaukee Black Voters League" was distributed, reading, <BR/>SOME WARNINGS FOR ELECTION TIME<BR/><BR/>IF YOU'VE ALREADY VOTED IN ANY ELECTION THIS YEAR YOU CAN'T VOTE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.<BR/><BR/>IF YOU [OR ANYBODY IN YOUR FAMILY] HAVE EVER BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF ANYTHING, EVEN A TRAFFIC VIOLATION, YOU CAN'T VOTE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.<BR/><BR/>. . . IF YOU VIOLATE ANY OF THESE LAWS YOU CAN GET TEN YEARS IN PRISON AND YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU.<BR/><BR/>Letters sent on fake NAACP letterhead warned African-American voters that they would be arrested if they tried to vote and had outstanding parking tickets or had not paid child support. <BR/><BR/>In Pennsylvania, leaflets were distributed on fake county letterhead in a mall, announcing that Republicans should vote on Tuesday, November 2, and Democrats should vote on Wednesday November 3. A similar incident occurred in Cleveland, where letters printed on fake Board of Elections letterhead warned that registrations through the Kerry campaign, America Coming Together, and the NAACP were invalid. <BR/><BR/>Source <A HREF="http://www.reformelections.org/feature.asp?menuid=%7B29E01776-FA29-4CB3-97E0-EAF13AE39041%7D" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>I'm still looking for a link to the 2002 election.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-45606245283244649692008-12-22T16:13:00.000-05:002008-12-22T16:13:00.000-05:00Michael L.

Connell was President, Chief Political Strategist and CEO of <B>New Media Communications, Inc.,</B> a Republican website development and internet services firm based in Richfield, OH. He died December 19, 2008 when the small airplane he was piloting crashed upon approach at the Akron-Canton Airport.[1] He is survived by his wife, Heather and their four children. <BR/><BR/>New Media's GOP clients are a "'Who's Who' of Republican politics", having provided campaign web services and Internet strategy for:<BR/><BR/>Bush-Cheney 2000/2004 <BR/>Dick Armey, <BR/>Spencer Abraham for Senate 2000, Heather Wilson for Congress 2000/2002/2004, <BR/>Rick Santorum for Senate 2000/2006John Thune for Senate 2002/2004 <BR/><BR/>to name just a few. New Media also designed <B>GOP.com</B> for the Republican National Committee, <B>RGA.org</B> for the Republican Governors Association, and between two and three dozen state GOP sites. <BR/><BR/>In April 2001, Connell spun-off <B>GovTech Solutions</B> from New Media to handle its growing list of federal government clients, such as:<BR/><BR/>MajorityWhip.gov for Tom DeLay and Johnny Isakson. <BR/><BR/>Business filings in the state of Ohio show that Govtech's founding members were Connell's wife Heather, and the well-known GOP operative and Chairman of the DCI Group, Thomas J. Synhorst. <BR/><BR/>By 2004, Govtech's clients would grow to include more than 20 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, GOP.gov, the web site of the House Republican Conference, and the House Intelligence, Judiciary, Financial Services, Way and Means, and Administration committees. <BR/><BR/>The latter was acquired while House Administration was chaired by former-U.S. Rep.

They're full of descriptions that seem to say a lot, but when you parse them they're mostly meaningless buzzspeak. And I can't find any evidence he ever did any work for any GOP organization, and we only have his word that he's a Republican.<BR/><BR/>After all, not many Republicans have donated $1750 to Howard Dean--but Spoonamore has. <BR/><BR/>Velvetrevolution.us is a George Soros-funded group. Not the most reliable source for straight information.<BR/><BR/>Rawstory.com, which appears to be the source of much of this, lives off donations, but doesn't provide a list of donors. Not exactly the most open organization! Larisa Alexandrovna, who appears to be the proprietor, is fond of such elocutions as calling Sarah Palin a "hillbilly succubus" and witty comments suggesting George W. Bush has no soul. Gosh, no bias there!<BR/><BR/>Ohio News Bureau appears to be a clipping service, rather than a genuine news organization.<BR/><BR/>Cliff Arnebeck seems to be a political gadfly--the kind of guy who joins an organization, creates a stir, then goes stomping off when everyone won't follow his lead. He's been a Republican, a Perotist, and a Democrat--all since 1990. <BR/><BR/>I especially like the news report.

Then, it must be recognized that ACORN's efforts to pollute the voter registration rolls does indeed impact on the issue of actual fraud of voters. Especially as ACORN's political allies block real efforts (such as requiring legitimate voter ID) to prevent voting fraud.<BR/><BR/>Ohio in 2002 is something that is new to me as a subject. As for Ohio 2004, I remember at the time that Kerry found no evidence at all of voter fraud, so he did not challenge anything. And he has the most to gain of anyone by doing so.<BR/><BR/>And I found <A HREF="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-huston/2007/11/06/2-convicted-vote-fraud-ohio-no-mention-theyre-democrats" REL="nofollow">this story</A> of Democratic Party voter fraud in Ohio. The most worthless thing cluttering Ohio accounts is exit poll information, since exit polls have nothing to do with anything.<BR/><BR/>Send along a good link on the Ohio 2002 fraud.<BR/><BR/>Also, do you have any real links?

There's quite a difference between VOTING fraud, and REGISTRATION fraud.<BR/><BR/>What happened in Ohio, and possibly other states, in the 2002, 2004 elections is VOTER fraud.<BR/><BR/>There's much, much more to this story if one is interested in digging for facts.<BR/><BR/>You could start by listening to Stephen Spoonmore, a selfl-identified Republican and computer expert:<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/48omehShaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-54865817698522046582008-12-22T11:02:00.000-05:002008-12-22T11:02:00.000-05:00The ACORN story was a potentially a big deal, sinc...The ACORN story was a potentially a big deal, since ACORN was revealed to be nothing more than an organiation to promote voter fraud, with lots of fake "Mickey Mouse" names on its rolls. ACOPR just adds to the case that we need legitimate ID to vote, and the only ones who oppose it are those who benefit from fraud.<BR/><BR/>However, the election margin was so big, that whatever they did didn't count.
