20.000 Menschen in Todestrakten: Amnesty protestiert gegen Todesstrafe in den USA

17.01.07

"Die USA ignorieren den weltweiten Trend zur Abschaffung der Todesstrafe", so die Menschenrechtsorganisation Amnesty international anlässlich des 30. Jahrestages der Hinrichtung von Gary Gilmore. Gilmore wurde am 17. Januar 1977 im US-Bundesstaat Utah hingerichtet - es war die erste Hinrichtung, nachdem die USA die Todesstrafe fast 10 Jahre ausgesetzt hatten. "Gilmore war der Erste in einer langen Reihe von Todeskandidaten", sagte Oliver Hendrich, der sich in einer Pressemitteilung von Amnesty als "Todesstrafen-Experte" bezeichnet. Seit 1977 sind nach Angaben der Organisation in den USA mehr als über 1050 Todesurteile vollstreckt worden.

Hangings Fuel Sectarian Split Across Middle East

The botched hanging of Saddam Hussein and two lieutenants by Iraq's Shiite-led government has helped to accelerate Sunni-Shiite sectarianism across an already fragile Middle East, according to experts across the region. The chaotic executions and the calm with which Mr. Hussein confronted the gallows and the mocking Shiite guards have bolstered his image among many of his fellow Sunni Muslims.

Phone mast plan opposed

By Staff Reporter

A PLAN to install a mobile phone mast has met with opposition from councillors.

Mobile phone company O2 wants to erect a 12.5 metre pole and antenna in Wearish Lane, Westhoughton.

But the plans, earmarked for the Victoria Road Motor Company site, have been refused by Westhoughton town council.

Councillors fear the mast would look out of place, as it would be visible from nearby beauty spot The Clough.

Council leader Cllr Jim Gilfillan said: "The town council, along with Bolton Council's environmental services, are putting a lot of money into redeveloping the nearby nature spot. The pole would be very prominent from the top of the road. I would recommend that O2 resubmit the plans to erect the pole on an industrial estate."

The matter will now go before Bolton Council's planning committee.

Anger at ‘huge’ mast

17 January 2007

The mast at Downfield bus terminus.

Residents of Downfield in Dundee have expressed their anger at Government legislation that has allowed a mobile phone company to erect a telecoms mast without planning permission.

Contractors working on behalf of T-Mobile have put up a temporary mast near the junction of St Mary’s Street and Cox Street using emergency legislation from Scottish planning laws.

The structure is twice the size of other masts in the area and stands in plain sight of surrounding neighbourhoods.

Lee McMurchie, of St Mary’s Road, said he would be asking local residents to petition T-Mobile for its removal.

He said, “They have erected this huge mast right outside my door. I think residents should have been consulted before such a monstrosity was put up.

“The council has told us the company is allowed to put the mast up for a six-month temporary period without planning permission or consultation with residents. It’s a disgrace.

“There are two other 30-ft masts nearby, but they are partly obscured by trees so they don’t bother anyone.”

Dundee City Council said it was powerless to intervene in the matter for six months as the company had acted within the law.

A spokesman said, “Under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order, T-Mobile has the power to summarily erect the structure in an emergency.”

Martin Cheyne, acquisitions director of T-Mobile contractor Wilkinson Helsby Projects, confirmed the mast has been put there on a temporary basis to replace one removed from a building at Baberton Court, which is undergoing redevelopment.

T-Mobile is obliged by the terms of its licence to provide coverage at all times, and the company claims the temporary mast is necessary to conform to that licence.

Mr Cheyne said his understanding of the emergency powers afforded to T-Mobile would not permit the company to erect a shifting network of temporary masts to plug holes in the mobile coverage, thereby allaying fears that, after six months, the telecoms company could simply shift the mast to another location.

WHP was not in a position to comment on whether it would respond to residents’ objections and remove the mast once Mr McMurchie’s petition has been lodged, saying any decision would have to come from T-Mobile.

A liaison officer at the firm has been informed about the situation and said he would comment in due course, although no response had been received at the time of going to press.

We will fight mast plan all the way

PETER WALSH

17 January 2007 14:11

Families in a block of flats in the north of the city have begun a campaign against a mobile phone mast being installed near where they live.

People living in Catton View Court, off Woodcock Road, were shocked to receive letters from T-Mobile informing them of plans to install a 12.85m mast and substation near their homes.

The Evening News has opposed the installation of mobile phone masts near homes and schools, until it is proved they are safe, through our Put Masts on Hold campaign.

Brian Minister, 52, who has lived in the flats since 1998, said: "This letter was a shock when it arrived last week. Most people weren't aware of what they wanted to do. It's quite tall and with the health issues we're quite concerned on that side.

"People are suffering from cancer and other conditions and I think there's a lot in it."

Mr Minister, a well-known face around many of Norwich's pubs as a volunteer charity collector for Cancer Research, said he has started to produce some leaflets which he will post through other residents' doors to highlight the proposals by the mobile phone operator.

"We've started a petition and are putting leaflets through people's doors," he said. "We're trying to get some support because people might not know what to do about it."

David Lowe, 53, who has lived at Catton View Court for the past four years, is also opposed to the planned mast. "It's outrageous," he said. "We've had no information about it and have just been told its going to happen. We don't want it and hopefully will be able to prevent this happening - we're all absolutely seething about it."

Mr Lowe, who is out of work but used to work for Archant in the public notices department, said he has raised concerns about the mast in a letter to Norwich North MP Dr Ian Gibson.

He said: "It's a health hazard and anyone living in the area for up to a mile will be affected by it. We don't need that being forced upon us."

No one from T-Mobile was available for comment.

Mast opposition to phone firm’s plans

By Rob Devey

RESIDENTS who are opposing plans for a phone mast on a busy Harwood footpath told a planning inspector it would be a blot on the landscape and a health-and-safety hazard.

T-Mobile appealed after Bolton Council's planning and highways committee ignored the advice of officers and refused permission for the 3G mast in Lea Gate near the Morrisons supermarket.

Councillors said that as the 11.7-metre mast would narrow the footpath, pedestrians, including mothers with pushchairs and people in wheelchairs, might be forced to use the road.

Yesterday, at the appeal hearing in Bolton Town Hall, planning inspector Elizabeth Hill listened to arguments from the company, the council and residents.

Ian Calderbank, Bolton's principle engineer, said the width of the footpath would be reduced to 1.8 metres - below the legal two-metre minimum.

But T-Mobile agent Susan McMorrow said that when the path was busy she believed pedestrians would wait for people coming the other way to pass rather then attempt to walk round them in the road.

Residents Gillian Platt and Veronica Goodman said the footpath was the main route to the supermarkert, library and health centre.

They also raised concerns that the mast would spoil the character of the area, with the 16th-century Lea Gate Farm and two cottages nearby being listed buildings.

Mrs Platt said residents feared the mast could pose a health risk and said its position near the supermarket's petrol station could also be dangerous.

That suggestion was denied by T-Mobile's regional property surveyor Simon Mitchell, who added that the company would be willing to pay for the footpath to be widened to two metres.

After the hearing, Mrs Platt, of Tottington Road, said: "I hope the inspector has listened to residents, many of whom have lived here all their lives and know the area better than anybody.

"The footpath is not wide enough as it is, and even if they extended it that would not be enough to persuade us."

Mrs Platt, aged 63, added: "You're not supposed to use mobile phones at petrol stations but here they want to site a phone mast near one, it's ludicrous.

"We're worried there could be an explosion."

A site visit followed the hearing and a decision is due within seven weeks.

Study to examine TETRA mast risk

17/01/2007

TETRA, mobile comms mast, mobile comms health risk Researchers from the University of Essex are to carry out a two year study to establish if there are any short term health effects from exposure to TETRA mobile radio masts. The move follows the recent completion of the largest ever scientific study of the health effects of conventional and 3G mobile phone masts, carried out at the University’s Electromagnetics and Health Laboratory. The study tested 176 people under carefully controlled conditions and the results are due to be published later this year. The project, which has won £265,624 of funding from the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research programme, will examine the effect of the electromagnetic fields emitted by the TETRA system on up to 264 volunteers. Because TETRA is used by the emergency services, the researchers hope to recruit participants from these services. If you would like to volunteer, contact ehstudy@essex.ac.uk or call 01206 873784.

ACLU Releases Memo on Monitoring of Activists

A Defense Department database devoted to gathering information on potential threats to military facilities and personnel, known as Talon, had 13,000 entries as of a year ago - including 2,821 reports involving American citizens, according to an internal Pentagon memo to be released today by the American Civil Liberties Union. The Pentagon memo says an examination of the system led to the deletion of 1,131 reports involving Americans, 186 of which dealt with "anti-military protests or demonstrations in the US."

Somalia as a military target

The U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia and subsequent U.S. air strikes and naval blockade against that east African country mark another dangerous chapter in the Bush administration’s war against Islamic nations. And, despite no authorization from Congress for the United States to become engaged in that country’s civil war and despite the failure of President Bush to consult with Congress as required by the War Powers Act, the new Democratic leadership in Congress has apparently not raised any objections to this dangerous and illegal escalation...

I fell into the world of Guantanamo in October 2005. The Chicago Council of Lawyers had organized a luncheon discussion on the legal issues surrounding the infamous detention facility at the U.S. naval base in eastern Cuba. I received an e-mail thanking me for my attendance (I should have gone but didn’t) and asking for volunteers to represent the nearly 200 known unrepresented prisoners at the base. I had assumed that I was well-informed about our criminal president and his assault on the rule of law; it never occurred to me that four years after being captured (and more than one year after the Supreme Court affirmed their right to hearing and counsel) individuals were still being held without legal representation. I replied to the e-mail, offering my services...

How US is deferring war costs

Christian Science Monitor

01/16/07

To pay for World War II, Americans bought savings bonds and put extra notches in their belts. President Harry Truman raised taxes and cut nonmilitary spending to pay for the Korean conflict. During Vietnam, the US raised taxes but still watched deficits soar. But to pay for the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US has used its credit card, counting on the Chinese and other foreign buyers of its debt to pay the bills. Now, as President Bush is promising to boost the number of troops in Iraq, there is increased scrutiny over how the US is going to pay for it all. The US is spending about $10 billion a month on Iraq and Afghanistan. By the end of this year, the total funds appropriated will be nearly $600 billion –- approaching the amount spent on the Vietnam or Korean wars, when adjusted for inflation...

Luis Picaso, 59, was apparently sleeping on a white, all-plastic lawn chair in his room late Saturday night and was awakened as he was ablaze, said Vallejo Fire Department investigator and spokesman Bill Tweedy. By the time authorities arrived shortly before midnight, Picaso was on the floor of the bathroom. He was in stable condition Sunday, Tweedy said Monday night.

Der Name Hartz ist jetzt auch Synonym für die Doppelmoral dieser Gesellschaft

#Die Linkspartei.PDS: Pressemitteilungen

17. Januar 2007

Zum heutigen Prozessbeginn gegen Peter Hartz, dem Ideen- und Namensgeber der Hartz-Gesetze, erklärt die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Katja Kipping:

Von Hartz IV-Betroffene erhalten bei Nichtmeldung im Jobcenter eine Kürzung von über 100 Euro der knappen Sozialleistungen, das ist fast ein Drittel ihres Einkommens. Bezüglich der Erstattung von Heizkosten müssen manche um jeden Euro mit dem Jobcenter feilschen, Rüdiger S. trat sogar in den Hungerstreik. Sozialdetektive schnüffeln unter der Bettdecke und in der Haushaltskasse, um so genannte eheähnliche Lebensgemeinschaften nachzuweisen und damit die Sozialleistungen der Betroffenen zu kürzen. Peter Hartz gehört zu denjenigen, die sich das ausgedacht haben. Der Name Hartz ist Synonym für Armut per Gesetz. Jetzt ist er selbst wegen Untreue in 44 Fällen und zusätzlich wegen Begünstigung von Betriebsräten angeklagt. Ihm "droht" ein Schnellverfahren. Auf Zeugen und auf das Verlesen früherer Aussagen soll weitgehend verzichtet. Niemand schaut unter seine Bettdecke, zählt die Haushaltskasse nach, kürzt seine Bezüge um ein Drittel. Während die Großen mit Milde rechnen können, wird gegen die Kleinen mit drakonischer Härte vorgegangen. Der Name Hartz ist jetzt auch Synonym für die Doppelmoral dieser Gesellschaft.

Maßgeblich von Kriminellen geprägte Hartz-Gesetze streichen!

Petition von Armin Kammrad, Augsburg, vom 17.01.2007 (pdf) http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/arbeit/realpolitik/modelle/hartz/kriminell.pdf

Aus dem Text: „…hiermit fordere ich Sie auf, aufgrund fehlender demokratischer Legitimation umgehend alle durch den damaligen VW-Arbeitsdirektor Peter Hartz konzipierten und durch das Parlament verabschiedeten sog. Hartz-Gesetze (SGB II / III / XII) zu streichen und einen neuen parlamentarischen Beratungs- und Beschlussprozess zur Sozialgesetzgebung einzuleiten. Begründung: Nach Grundgesetz Artikel 20, Abs.3 ist die gesetzgebende Gewalt an die „verfassungsmäßige Ordnung“ gebunden. Dies schließt bereits vom Grundsatz aus, dass Gesetze maßgeblich von Kriminellen geprägt sein dürfen, wie es sich nun in der Verhandlung gegen den „Erfinder“ der Hartz-Gesetze, Peter Hartz, vor dem Landgericht Braunschweig eindeutig zeigt. Gegen diese Forderung kann nicht geltend gemacht werden, dass ja das Parlament die Grundkonzeption von Herrn Hartz billigte und verabschiedete. In Analogie zum BGB und der ständigen Rechtsprechung des Bundesgerichtshofes (z.B. BGHZ91, S.324ff.), ist vielmehr zu fragen, ob die Abgeordneten auch dann so entschieden hätten, wenn ihnen die eigentliche Gesinnung von Peter Hartz bekannt gewesen wäre. (…) Im Übrigen stellt sich auch im Konzern für die dort abhängig Beschäftigten die Frage, ob sämtliche Betriebsvereinbarungen, welche Herr Hartz durch Bestechung des maßgeblichen Betriebsrates erreichte, nicht als rechtswidrig und rechtsgeschäftlich somit unwirksam angefochten werden können. Mit Bezug auf das Betriebsverfassungsgesetz sind durch Bestechung zustande gekommene Betriebsvereinbarungen zumindest nichtig, sofern sie eine Schlechterstellung der sog. „Arbeitnehmerseite“ gegen deren Willen enthalten…“



Überflüssige rangeln mit Peter Hartz

„…Mit verschiedenen Aktionen gegen Sozialabbau, Ein-Euro-Jobs und die damit einhergehende Zwangsarbeit traten die Überflüssigen bisher in die Öffentlichkeit. Heute nahmen sie Peter Hartz persönlich in Empfang, als er vor dem Braunschweiger Landgericht ankam, wo er seinen Prozess hatte. Neben den Überflüssigen hatten sich weitere Demonstrant/innen in der Braunschweiger Münzstraße versammelt. Sie beschimpften Hartz als „Arbeiterverräter”, „Lump” und verwiesen auf die Doppelmoral des Angeklagten, der mit Hartz I bis IV sozial Schwache „fördern und fordern” wollte, andererseits seinem Kollegen Volkert Millionensummen zuschob. Hartz kaufte den VW-Betriebsrat und schaltete damit die betriebliche Mitbestimmung durch Korruption aus…“ Beitrag von Hartz IV-Empfänger_innen samt Dokumentation des Redebeitrags bei der Aktion auf Indymedia vom

Hartz wird nicht müde klarzumachen, dass ohne die Mobilisierung der gewählten Arbeitnehmervertreter Geschäftsleitungen in großen Unternehmen keine Chance haben, ihre Pläne umzusetzen…“

Chris Floyd writes: "A quiet announcement at London's Hammersmith Hospital at the turning of the new year heralded a breakthrough that has the potential to be one of the most transformative developments ever seen in global affairs: a positive change on a par with - or even surpassing - the world-altering malignancies of war, greed and strife. But this boon could be strangled in its cradle by the vast corporate interests threatened by its radical new approach to both health care and business."

Al Gore Says US States May Force Change in Climate Policy

Former US Vice President Al Gore said many businesses and state governments "embrace" the aims of the Kyoto Protocol, which may force President George W. Bush to alter his opposition to the effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions. "Even though the national policy in the US has not yet changed, many state governments have now embraced the goals of the Kyoto Protocol," Gore said at a speech to Japanese business leaders in Tokyo.

Banks Are Urged Not to Finance Coal Power

A new front in the fight to slow down global warming follows trails of money, not wisps of polluting chemicals, straight to the doorsteps of banks. A coalition of environmental groups, including Boston-based Ceres, is demanding that banks reject loan requests for projects that emit high rates of greenhouse gases, which contribute to global warming.

A Unified Green Agenda

"It is up to greens to make sure that in 2007, a year full of possibility on energy and environmental issues, change moves in the direction of long-term sustainability and justice," says David Roberts. "Powerful forces will be pushing the other way. Before I suggest a positive agenda most elements of the green coalition can agree on (in my dreams, anyway), it's important to understand why circumstances are uniquely aligned for action, and forecast a few of the forces against which greens should consciously countervail."

Partisan dispute derails ethics reform

Pensacola News Journal

01/18/07

A dispute with Republicans derailed ethics and lobbying legislation Democrats had hoped would mark their takeover of the Senate. ‘I hope this is going to be just a bump in the road,’ said Democratic Whip Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. ‘We will give them another chance to think about this.’ The bill would have reduced the influence of lobbyists in shaping legislation and forced lawmakers to be more open about the pet projects they slip into legislation...

This is taking place in KY - however, given the National Animal Classification Identity Program, this will affect everyone in every state sooner than later, IMO. Peace - Anna

Begin forwarded message:

From: Dawn and Gary Oaks

Subject: KY Dept of Ag Regulation for Animal Idnetification - How it affects you

Among the many other messages that we received in our inbox in the last 24 hours is this critical message attached below from the Weston Price Foundation. Upon reading it we contacted our contacts at the Community Farm Alliance in Frankfort. Surprisingly, and yet not that surprising, there has been virtually no public awareness of this critical hearing. The hearing will address the new proposed regulations with regard to mandatory particpation in the National Animal Classification Identity program. At first, many will now be ready to go on to their next message. Please don't, keep reading - this does apply to you!

Under the proposed regulations, anyone that owns an animal that could produce food will be required to register with the NAIS and be subject to unannounced searches of their property at the State Veterinarian's discretion - no need for even a search warrant or reasonable cause. If these regulations move forward it will greatly affect small farmers, hobby farmers, individual families with a handful of chickens, as well as all those Kentucky residents that enjoy consuming farm fresh food.

Gary has chosen to address the committee at the January 23rd hearing in Frankfort. We are asking anyone, and most especially concerned KY residents and farmers, to accompany us to Frankfort on January 23rd. Their is a strength and voice in numbers!! This is not just a raw milk issue. It applies to all those that would be interested in having chickens for their families or to raise a single beef for their own consumption.

We will be working actively with the Community Farm Alliance over the next week to help organize support in the form of attendees at the meeting as well as get press coverage of the absurdity of such regulations. If you can not attend on the 23rd, you can also submit written comments to the committee through the Department of Agriculture until January 31st. It is encouraged that your state representatives be carbon copied on the letters so that more than one entity in our state government is aware of their constitutents feelings.

By all means, please forward this to anyone, especially in the State of KY, that would have an interest in this issue. If you plan to attend on the
23rd, please RSVP back to us so that we may keep you updated on info as we receive it and we can also let the CFA know what kind of numbers we are looking at as far as participation at this hearing.

Thank you for your ear and may all of our rights as citizens of a "Free" country be protected, Gary and Dawn

Subject: KENTUCKY NAIS ACTION ALERT


NAIS ACTION ALERT Kentucky Department of Agriculture is proposing new regulations to make NAIS mandatory

The Kentucky Department of Agriculture has proposed regulations that would make the premises registration and animal identification portions of NAIS mandatory, and require a certificate of veterinary inspection for sales, shows, and many routine movements! The proposed regulations would also allow the State Veterinarian to enter any farm or "any other place where animals are handled" to inspect and test, without a warrant. Kentucky residents need to act NOW!

There will be a public hearing on January 23rd, starting at 10:15, at the Kentucky Dept of Agriculture, Office of State Veterinarian, 100 Fair Oaks Lane, STE 252, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. Anyone who wants to speak at this hearing must notify the agency in writing by January 16, 2007, of their intent to attend. Written comments will be accepted until January
31, 2007. Send written notification of intent to be heard at the public hearing or written comments on the proposed regulations to:

Robert Stout or Sue Billings, Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Office of State Veterinarian, 100 Fair Oaks Lane, STE 252, Frankfort, Kentucky
40601, phone (502) 564-3956, fax (502) 564-7852.

Here are links to the proposed regulations:

Talking Points on the proposed 302 KAR 20:020 and 20:065

• The USDA has announced that the National Animal Identification System is voluntary at the federal level. There is no reason for Kentucky to move forward with the program on a mandatory basis, as is being proposed.

• The proposed regulation states that "A CVI or appropriate permit shall be required for movement or exhibition of all animal(s). Exceptions to this requirement are in each species section." Proposed regulation 302 KAR
20:065 contains very few exceptions and requires veterinary inspection for a wide range of routine, intrastate movements, including private sales and shows.

• Requiring veterinary inspections for routine movements and private sales imposes significant monetary and time burdens.

• There have been no scientific studies conducted to show that premises registration or this type of animal identification and tracking will provide significant animal health benefits.

• The Department has not done an analysis of the costs of this program.

• The costs, both in time and money, will be high.

• The intrusive, burdensome, and costly nature of these regulations will drive many small farmers out of business and discourage people from owning animals as pets. Livestock-related businesses, such as feed and supply stores, will suffer, and the economic effects will be widespread.

• The proposed regulations are vague and unclear. As just one example, when is individual identification required as opposed to group/lot identification?

• The proposed regulation provides that "All animals requiring AIN shall meet the specifications of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) on or before January 1, 2009." Yet no regulations have been promulgated under the NAIS, and the USDA has indicated that it has no intention of promulgating regulations at this time. What specifications must be met?

Talking points on the proposed 302 KAR 20:030

• The proposed regulation would give the State Veterinarian the authority to enter "any farm" or "any other place where animals are handled" after simply notice, without a warrant, reasonable cause, or any protection for the person's property or privacy rights.

• There is no evidence that such measures are needed to control animal disease in Kentucky.

It Is Not Whether Or Not To Audit Elections, But How

It Is Not Whether Or Not To Audit Elections, But How, As Explained by a Short Paper & Spreadsheet from National Election Data Archive

Salt Lake City, UT - January 17, 2007

How many ballots have to be counted to detect vote counting errors that are big enough to change the outcome of an election? With more and more contested elections since 2000, the question is not just academic. According to an analysis by M.I.T. mathematician Ronald Rivest, in an average US House race with a 1% margin between candidates and 440 precinct counts, a 2% audit may only have a 27% chance of uncovering vote count error, while a 20% audit may have a
97% chance of uncovering vote count error.

A spreadsheet tool to allow any layman to calculate how many vote counts to audit, was released by the National Election Data Archive
(NEDA). The tool uses a formula developed by Rivest to estimate the minimum audit sufficient to detect vote count errors that could seat wrong candidates. NEDA's audit analysis spreadsheet tool and a paper explaining Rivest's formula can be downloaded free at ElectionArchive.org.

http://electionarchive.org/ucvAnalysis/US/paper-audits/ElectionAuditEstimator.pdf http://electionarchive.org/ucvAnalysis/US/paper-audits/HowManyToAudit.xls

NEDA president Kathy Dopp said NEDA released the election audit analysis tool because of a nationwide debate about whether or not to verify machine counts by manually counting paper ballot records. "Could there be a more inane debate?" Dopp asked. "Would you put your money in a bank that did not conduct certified audits? Would the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insure deposits if banks were not subjected to certifiable audits?"

The closer the race between two candidates, the larger manual audit is needed to uncover small machine error that might wrongly alter the outcome, according to both Dopp and Rivest.

Dopp said that other requirements to ensure the integrity of election outcomes are included in a set of 14 Recommendations for Ensuring the Integrity of Elections by experts in election integrity. Sufficient audits and public oversight are necessary to deter wholesale electronic fraud and errors.

http://electionarchive.org/ucvInfo/US/EI-FederalLegislationProposal.pdf

For the public to have oversight over election integrity, NEDA said, the public needs to be allowed to fully observe all audit procedures, including the random selection and manual vote counts, and before the audit begins, a public report of all vote types and votes counted on each machine needs to be publicly released. Audits are hand-counts of all paper ballots associated with randomly selected machine counts.

"The first duty of Congress is to be Congress, to provide a check on the executive through the power to hold hearings, write legislation, and tighten the purse strings," writes George Lakoff.
