FED COURT ACCEPTS WEIN CHALLENGE
Board of Elections must justify knocking Wein off ballot
Staten Island, NY. - The federal Court yesterday afternoon issued an Order to Show Cause against the state Board of Elections why Republican primary challenger, Louis de la Guardia Wein, should not be on the ballot for the scheduled September 10, 2002 Republican primary election.
"This is the first victory in a series of victories that will make Governor George E. Pataki eat his hypocritical words of working for fair, free and open elections" Wein said. The Order to Show Cause and grant injunctive relief is based on charges that the Board of Elections and the NYS Legislature conspired to violate voters' and the candidate's constitutionally-protected Rights of speech, association and petition. They also conspired to abuse and infringe voters' and all candidates' rights to equal protection of the laws and due process. Judge J. Trager of the United States Court, Eastern District of New York, signed the Order for a hearing scheduled for August 26, 2002.
"This is a first-step in a process that will break the stranglehold that self-serving, career politicians have over the people", Wein said. "It's about time that the people, as in our constitutional 'We, the People', take back our government and put an end to the phony-baloney that comes out of career politicians mouths who are really only interested in how much money and retirement benefits they can steal for themselves from the people", Wein continued.
Wein's broad-based attack focuses on several complaints:
Threats of arrest, harassment, intimidation and infringement of constitutionally-protected rights of voters and citizens to freedom of political speech, association, assembly and the right to petition the government
The avoidable delay of the petition calendar, due solely to the capriciousness of petty political squabbling and purely partisan interests that substantially interfered with Plaintiff's equal protection of the law and due process rights;
The cloak of legitimacy, hiding the purely partisan political interests of the Republican and Democratic leadership of the state masquerading as the legitimate, non-discriminatory regulatory authority of the state;
The prima facie unfair and discriminatory standards for ballot access faced by party primary challengers to the hegemony of the Republican and Democratic political and legislative leaders;
The discriminatory dual system of ballot access for Pr! esidential primary challengers and non-federal statewide candidates in which a Republican Presidential primary candidate only needs 5,000 signatures while a Republican challenger to the Governor needs 15,000; and,
Tthe arbitrary and burdensome administrative requirement for non-federal statewide primary candidates to conform their petition sheets with schedules detailing the line and page numbers of petition signatures by federal congressional districts that only serves to unconstitutionally restrict ballot access to those who threaten the political status quo.
"I am in this for the long haul. At 61 years of age, I don't need this for my ego. The insanity of political control over our lives is gone to far", Wein said in pointing out that they even want to stop smoking on beaches, in bars and on the street. "Give us a break", Wein sighed.

Boiled Frog News takes Manhattan Boiled Frog News

On Sat April 20th, a group of volunteers hit the streets of Manhattan handing out free newspapers to passers by. Starting out in Harlem the volunteers encountered mixed views and opinion from pedestrians. After several rainstorms, the volunteers worked their way south to the Earth Day street festival where large crowds were gathered. The Frog crew passed out hundreds of free copies.
This first issue of Boiled Frog News carried an article about Louis Wein and the Draft Louis Wein For Governor Committee. One of the highlights of the day was when Louis Wein joined the Frog crew, helping to distribute the paper. Louis made the rounds, visiting the vendors, talking with park minstrels, chatting with the 6th precinct police, and running into old friends. He was greeted with handshakes and big smiles, as people learned of his planned run for Governor in NYS.
The last stop at the end of the day was Greenwich Village handing out papers and stopping to eat. The Frog crew talked about the days events and successes over some great pizza.
Thank you to the volunteers and to Louis Wein for helping the Boiled Frog News get on its legs.
What's the Boiled Frog News, you ask? Do they boil frogs?
Put a frog in hot water it fights to get out... Put a frog in cool water and heat it slowly, before the frog realizes it is in hot water, it's too late!
The name was chosen to illustrate incremental degradation of personal freedom. A law gets passed to "protect society from evil" and it is touted as being "for the good of society" so no one pays attention. The law does not work, so another law is passed, taking a little more personal freedom.
Then one day, we have no freedom left...
Boiled Frog News represents Second Amendment Views, Gun and Crime News from The Gun Owners Perspective.
The mission of the paper is two-fold. One, to improve awareness of the Second Amendment as a Civil Right and the relation it and the Bill of Rights play in our Civil Rights. Two, to improve participation in our government, encouraging citizens to vote and to communicate with elected officials on matters of importance regarding Civil Rights. The intention is to distribute free hardcopy forms of the paper in anti-gun regions of New York State. Education is the key to success. In order to make intelligent decisions one must be adequately informed on the subject.
