I trust you have had no trouble figuring out who the evil brothers are, since this is an election year and si many Republican politicians are sucking \u2026 nevermind.  Needless to say they are up to more despicable machinations, but in the midst of their criminal pursuit they actually did something right.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0929KochNeverMind\"The Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity group has reportedly<\/a><\/font> ended its advertising blitz for the cycle, and has shifted its effort to get-out-the-vote efforts. In North Carolina, it looks more like keep-out-the-vote<\/a><\/font>. The group is behind a bunch of "incorrect" mailers, telling residents\u2014and a cat\u2014how to register to vote. Or rather, confusing them mightily about how to do it.<\/font><\/p>\n

[H]undreds of people who received the forms have called and complained to the State Board of Elections, said Joshua Lawson, a public information officer for the board. <\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unclear where (Americans for Prosperity) got their list, but it\u2019s caused a lot of confusion for people in the state,\u201d Lawson said.<\/font><\/p>\n

One resident even received a voter registration form addressed to her cat, he said.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cThe phone calls have consistently been all day, every day,\u201d Lawson said.<\/font><\/p>\n

Adam C. Nicholson, a spokesman for Americans for Prosperity, declined to say how many people were sent the forms, how the group obtained the voter lists or how the mistakes occurred.<\/font><\/p>\n

Among the misinformation in the mailer: two different deadlines for mailing registration applications; instructions to return applications to the N.C. secretary of state\u2019s office, with a return envelope addressed to the State Board of Elections\u2014with the wrong zip code; directing people to the secretary of state for more information on registering, which that office does not provide; giving the wrong phone number to the secretary of state’s office; telling people their county clerk will inform them of their voting precinct, which county clerks don’t do\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Clearly the evil brothers are up to no good, trying to interfere with the election process and scam people to block their exercise of their most important right in this nation, the right to vote.<\/font><\/p>\n

Now, I suppose your wondering what they did right in the midst of all this slime.  They tried to register a cat to vote.  Now if people, who are so stupid that they would actually vote for a Republican, have the right to vote, cats should have the right to vote too.  Cats are are far better citizens than Koch NEVERMIND, more intelligent, more reliable, and more honest!!<\/font><\/p>\n
