Ron Sims will be the featured guest for an infomercial on KIRO 710 from 7 - 8pm. Sims will try to explain why vote by mail should be mandatory and why we can trust him to count our mail ballots. If you have any issues with the way Sims has been managing the elections office, call in and ask him a question. 877-710-KIRO.
UPDATE: The "no forced vote by mail" argument was strengthened by the (entirely coincidental, I'm sure) pre-recorded public service announcement from Attorney General Rob McKenna warning consumers to protect themselves from "mail theft". ("It's not safe to leave your mail in an unsecured mail box"). Gee. Maybe someone could steal your ballot.
The moderator (who claims to have a blog, oddly enough) took my phone call. Sims was courteous if somewhat less than enthusiastic at taking my call [audio clip].
[I'll post the entire exchange if I can get it]

Posted by: Matthew Lundh on June 18, 2006 08:23 PMCheck out the CAPR web site, they are doing so much work for our rights, and could always use support or at least the interest of people who care about our constitutional rights!

Oh wait, that actually DID happen to 90 people or so in '04.
Posted by: Michele on June 18, 2006 11:08 PMNow just for a moment Imagine:
When the Libs in power...
get their most sought after jewel...
A "Locke" step Lib KC Council "YES" vote (to stick it to the minority in this council)....
With "ZERO" leadership left in the King County Elections department, I might add...
The most expensive "EVER" and least secure "EVER" Vote By Mail system, I might add ...
It's pure political spite I might add...
It's Classic Ron Sims, I might add...
It needs to end, I might add...

Are those people at KIRO deaf?

Posted by: jimg on June 19, 2006 08:27 AMDo you live in a tunnel? I listen so I could solidify "for myself" that Ron Simms, Darcy Burner, and Larry Phillips, dont give a rat's ass about YOU or ME.
I don't depend on others to Think for Me. It is your choice, but you shouldn't ridicule others.
Although it was typical BS, it was enlightening to say the least....
BTW .... Did you know that the County Council is planning on VOTING on the VBM TODAY??? Did you send in your Email to the council advocating they WAIT to vote? I did..... By the tone of Phillips, he doesn't intend on changing his vote...
I don't depend on others to Think for Me. It is your choice, but you shouldn't ridicule others.
Well, no, I don't live in a tunnel and I'm not sure how I was ridiculing others when questioning why people get wrapped around the wheel over a liberal, Sunday evening radio show. My point is, I know dogsh*t stinks. I don't need to step in it - or in this case, listen to it - to find out.
Posted by: jimg on June 19, 2006 11:55 AMI am glad you don't step in Dogsh$t, I try to avoid it also.
Your post came across as "your a dumbsh$t if you listen to Goldy".... "You feed the trolls if you listen to Goldy".....
My take is this: If we ignore the "enemy" how will we know what force to use on them.... They wont go away just because we ignore them, that has already been proven.
My advise especially on the VBM issue is to throw down the weapons, and TRY to work out this issue. Restoring the Public Trust issue will only help ALL VOTERS.
I find the constant Blog Bickering rather boring, it takes away from good discussion. Stefan and Goldy both have their reasons, but that doesn't mean we have to add fuel to the fire.
Stefan has worked very hard, and tirelessly to examine all the problems in the elections dept. He has been met with every road block possible but he still trudges on..... Kudo's Stefan
Posted by: Chris on June 19, 2006 12:17 PMThe 3 bloggers were speechless and goldsteins only response was that he promised to 'call her'.
She was awesome!
Posted by: Cheryl on June 19, 2006 01:09 PMYou hit it !!! She had all of them Speechless, and wouldn't let them even take a breath before she shot back....
I had forgotten about her!!! I think she even took Goldstiens' mother to task too.... It was one of those priceless moments, when Goldy doesn't have a thing to say but "I will call you, we need to talk about this".
It could have only been made better if it had been video recorded.
