Critics: California Union Using Identity-Theft Scare Tactics to Trick Voters
• A new, controversial organization called Californians Against Identity Theft has launched (CAIT)
• Opponents claim CAIT is a front group for unions in the battle against pension reform
• Critics also say CAIT is exploiting citizen fears about identity theft so they do not support ballot measures

"They do it, too!" isn't much of a defense, you know.

You got him on that one, pal. It's kinda hard to keep up with Newt's wives.

If we go after oil shale, kiss those states goodbye. They will become the world's largest toxic waste sites. Oil needs to be abandoned and the money needs to go into research and development of alternatives. Actually, they already exist but are secreted away since they haven't figured out a way to control it so it gives just a select few all the profit.

But on topic...what they're doing in Wisconsin is despicable. Aside from abandoning oil, we need to abandon both parties and fund elections entirely through public means.

If they're dumb enough to fall for such tricks then they're too dumb to vote. However, it's nothing like Democrats trying to supress the military's votes, especially those serving overseas.

It happens during almost every election including the 2000 election. The most common tactic involves putting the absentee ballots in the mail at the last possible minute knowing that because the foreign deployed service member is serving overseas, he/she will not get the ballot back in time to be counted. This happened to me in 1992. I didn't get the ballot until two days before it was due. Then there was the effort to throw out ballots that weren't post marked knowing that the military FPO doesn't always post mark service member's outgoing mail.
