Republican Central Committee Chairman Requests St. Louis County Government to Clarify FBI Probe
According to KMOX radio, the FBI is conducting a high level investigation of St. Louis County government. This is not good news for Missouri Democrats who are mired in corruption issues in the St. Louis area. Recently State Representative T.D. El-Amin and State Senator, Jeff Smith have gone to jail for criminal activities. Also, Steve Brown of the 73 Congressional District resigned his seat because of involvement with Smith. El-Alin, Smith and Brown are all Democrats.
In response to the KMOX radio report, Richard Magee, chairman of the St. Louis County Republican Central Committee, asks that County Officials publicly explain, in detail, the nature of an on-going investigation of the County by the FBI. Magee commented, “I am concerned about the credibility of county officials and their ability to conduct official business now and in the future.”
According to reports by KMOX news, there is an ongoing probe of the County and how it awards contracts. KMOX’s report stated that, “this goes all the way to the top.”

University City Manager faces removeal

Carnahan covers up disenfranchisement of military voters that occurred on her watch
JEFFERSON CITY—Secretary of State Robin Carnahan today attempted to cover up her the disenfranchisement of military voters that occurred on her watch. Carnahan held a joint press conference to boast about new federal reforms meant make the voting process easier for men and women stationed overseas—but she whitewashed her own failures to ensure that members of the armed forces can vote.
Carnahan’s record has been slammed by watchdogs and experts:
A January 2009 Pew Center on the States study of military voting ranked Missouri as one of the 9 worst states for military voters. The study, entitled No Time to Vote: Challenges Facing America’s Overseas Military Voters, slammed Missouri for being one of the “nine ‘no time to vote’ states that afford military voters fewer than 45 days to receive and mail back their completed ballots.”
In a subsequent news article, one of the report’s authors blasted the states like Missouri that did not give veterans enough time to vote: “We’re failing in our responsibility to ensure access to military voters living overseas. While these voters are serving America, America is not serving them.”
But rather than address the problems described in the report, Carnahan, the highest ranking elections official in the state, claimed she was powerless to implement reforms. Instead, her spokesman complained: “We can’t change the laws.”
Shortly after the bombshell report, Robin “We Can’t Change the Laws” Carnahan backed a bill to allow military voting by email and fax. However, that effort was criticized by State Rep John Diehl*, the former Chairman of the St Louis County Elections Board, who was concerned that fax and email “might not be secure and could waive a soldier’s right to a secret ballot.” (AP, February 17, 2009)
“Robin Carnahan has worked side-by-side with groups like ACORN, which engaged in a years-long effort to commit voter fraud, but she cannot find a way to ensure that the men and women of our military are able to access the ballot,” said Lloyd Smith, Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party. “It is extremely important that Missourians serving in the military have a say in the direction of our state and nation, but on Carnahan’s watch, Missouri was ranked one of the worst states in the nation for military voting, and the legislation she supported may have put our soldiers’ sacred right to a secret ballot at risk. Robin Carnahan has failed the men and women of our military. She cannot be allowed to sweep her record under the rug by taking credit for federal legislation meant to address a broken system that Carnahan did nothing to fix.”
*As an alternative, Rep. Diehl proposed allowing members of the military stationed overseas to vote online, which would ensure more security and secrecy than the Carnahan-backed bill.

New "Conservatives of America" web site
Now there is one meeting place for Conservatives across America aptly called Conservatives of America. Their website posts Blogs, allows you to post blogs and allows all local groups have a shared calendar. This will be a cross communications website so all of the various groups across and area can communicate. Visit their site and join!STAND WITH US SO THAT WE MAY BE HEARD
There's outrage, indignation and distress throughout America with the direction our country is heading. There are millions of voices in the wilderness, all crying out for the same thing - a return to sanity and solid, uncompromising moral principles. Yet, lately, it seems that no one in Washington is listening. Yet, even with all our voices, we have been easy to ignore — until now.
Conservatives of America will unite the disaffected masses who embrace the conservative principles of Ronald Reagan: smaller government, lower taxes, family values and a strong national defense. We are not a political party. We are a strong, vibrant grassroots movement of honest, hard-working Americans who know right from wrong and seek to unite disparate voices into one strong united voice that will be heard — and reckoned with!

Dan O'Sullivan runs for State Representative
Due to an unexpected vacancy in Missouri's 73rd. Congressional District there will be a special election for this seat on November 3rd. The Republican candidate for this seat will be Dan O'Sullivan. Dan is a small businessman in St. Louis County. He is concerned with the County's property tax issues and states:"I want to go to Jefferson City to tell them that we, the residents and business people of this area, are sick and tired of being ignored and we want someone that understands our concerns. I will speak clearly about our issues and bring an outside voice to the process. Issues that face our families, our seniors, and the defenseless are not going to be solved by persons who are unwilling to take on the issues and fight for them."The 73rd District includes parts of Clayton, Richmond Heights, Maplewood, Brentwood and Webster Groves. The seat was vacated by Steve Brown due to campaign irregularities and an subsequent FBI investigation.
