12 noon
In the courtyard located near the corner of Laguna St. and Geary Blvd. in San Francisco
Look for the BALLOONS to guide you to the courtyard!

Directions from the East Bay:
— After taking the 80 over the bridge, take the 101 Central Fwy off to the right toward the Octavia St. Exit
— Follow the Central Fwy all the way to the Octavia St. Exit, and go straight
— Octavia St. ends at Fell St. — take a left up Fell.
— Take the first right at Laguna St.
— Go up Laguna St.
— You will pass Golden Gate, Turk, Eddy & Ellis Streets
— The first stop sign before you reach Geary Blvd. is where Laguna intersects Cleary Ct. on the right, and Galilee Ln. on the left. Now you should look for parking. The way to get to thecourtyard from here is to walk down Galilee Ln., which is really a big parking lot. (Parking here is for residents of the apartments only.) At the end of the lot, there is a small tunnel off to the right which leads right into the courtyard. Look for the BALLOONS to guide you to the courtyard!

If you are coming from another direction, you just need to know that the courtyard is tucked into a number of apartment complexes on the south-west corner of Laguna & Geary. There are small lanes that can take you to the courtyard. Off of Laguna St., it is located between Galilee Ln. (which is really a big parking lot), and Western Shore Ln.. Off of Geary, if you are walking east toward Laguna, there are several small lanes that can take you into the courtyard … Bertie Minor Lane, Lottie Bennett Lane, and Annie Larsen Lane. Look for the BALLOONS to guide you to the courtyard!

Hi Gillian (Account Executive – AJC National Advertising),

I was referred to you by Yolanda Turner. I would like to place a candidate announcement in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution with statewide circulation. This is to fulfill the requirements for a write-in candidate for President in the state of Georgia. I am looking for the least expensive way to place this ad … it can be the smallest type-face, the least expensive day, etc. Can you give me a quote on how much the following ad would cost, run for one day in the very least expensive way? Thank you so much!

Corey

“Frank Moore hereby gives notice of his intention to be a write-in candidate for the office of President of the United States in the General Election to be held on November 4, 2008.”

Hello Corey

We can certainly help you achieve the requirements listed below.

Our net rates for presidential candidates are:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday – $87.51 per column inch*
Friday or Saturday – $93.69 per column inch*
Sunday – $318.51 per column inch*

*One column inch = 1.73″ wide x 1″ high

I recommend at least a 2 column inch ad (3.56″ wide x 1″ high or 1.73″ wide by 2″ high).

The total net cost to run on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday will be $175.02.

Let me know which size you prefer and on which day you would like to run.
Prepayment would be required.
If we order the ad by 5 p.m. today and release the approved ad by Monday at noon we can make the Tuesday AJC.

I look forward to working with you!

Gillian

that’s right, folks…georgia has a requirement [like a speedtrap!] for being a write-in candidate…you must put an ad in their local paper….costing $175! we need donations!

Hello Frank,

I’ve just finished a political song and video that definitely won’t be favored by the bush administration. The video features thousands of protesters in various demonstrations of the last 5 years. The message is powerful, presented in good taste and the response, what little I have received, has been all positive.

Bob Kincaid of headonradionetwork.com just added my video to that site. This impressed me because Mr. Kincaid is a very busy man, hosting a national broadcast every monday thru friday and yet still finding the energy to view some guy’s video.

I realize that in the flood of new audio and video productions being released every minute of every day, finding the good stuff is difficult. This is the good stuff. Give it a try, share it with your friends and if time permits, send me an email.

Also I have a political links page that I just started.

If your interested in exchanging links, let me know.

Hi everyone at Arkansas Indymedia,

I wanted to bring to your attention a ballot access issue in Arkansas that I have uncovered in recent research.

I have been looking at ballot access for write-in Presidential candidates state by state over the past 6 months or so. I have been working with an independent candidate for President who is looking to be qualified for write-in votes in as many states as possible. When I came to Arkansas, I found this on the Secretary of State’s Elections Division website:

“Write-in Candidates Write-in candidates are not allowed in presidential, municipal, or primary elections. [ACA §§7-5-525, 7-8-302, 14-43-202]” http://www.arkansas.gov/sbec/pdfs/2007-Handbook-Final.pdf

It turns out that none of those election codes referenced actually contain any language referring to write-in candidates for President. The election law has remain unchanged since at least the early 70s. Yet there is legal precedent for Arkansas allowing write-in presidential candidates in at least 1972 and 1976.

But when I spoke with the legal counsel of the Arkansas Secretary of State’s office, he was not impressed. It did not seem to matter to him that 1) Arkansas is among only a small handful of states that is currently not allowing write-in Presidential candidates, or 2) that there is a precedent in Arkansas for allowing write-in presidential candidates. My question to him was: if the law has remained unchanged since 1972, why is it that the Arkansas Secretary of State allowed Schmitz-Anderson to qualify as a write-in Presidential ticket in 1972 in Arkansas, and Eugene McCarthy to qualify as a write-in Presidential candidate in 1976 … and yet now is saying that presidential write-ins are not allowed? In South Carolina, for instance, the prohibition of write-in presidential candidates is actually spelled out in their election laws, but there is nothing of the sort in Arkansas.

What do you think of this? Is this an issue that Arkansas indymedia can address, publicize, look into further …? We are in contact wiith a ballot access expert, Richard Winger, who puts out the publication, “Ballot Access News”, who has been helping us look into this, and who is a great resource for looking into this further. Thanks so much for your time, and please let me know what you think of this issue.

Cory,
It would be wonderful if you or someone else did the investigative work on this topic and then did a story on it. Indymedia is about independent journalism; unfortunately, independent journalists cannot always afford the time that it takes in order to come up with good stories. This is certainly my situation right now. So, we are always looking for input from people, such as yourself, who may have the time to develop such a story. If something, as you propose, is published on the website, is informative and well written, it will often get featured for the rest of the indymedia network to see.

As for the situation you describe, it reflects the sad state of affairs that exists in Arkansas and elsewhere.

Sincerely,
Al

DA BOYZ:
We had left a message for Barb about being an elector, and brought the form and instructions with us just in case … she was way into it, and it was going to be much easier for her to just fill it out and get it notarized herself, and send it back to us. She was glad to do it, and was talking about how great Frank’s platform was, how it is like an oasis in a sea of absurdity that the world has become … she said she looks around and sees people doing crazy things, like carrying their kids around in baby seats instead of in pouches on their backs or stomachs, for “more protection” … people all bandaged up for carpal tunnel … everyone afraid … all to sell products … but here we are, Frank running for President, outside of that reality completely!
