All,
As most of you know, there will be a statewide recount of the ballots for the U.S. Senate race. We are looking for people to help ensure that the ballots remain unchanged between now and the start of the recount. This involves a person staying at City Hall (or the city’s election center), and literally watching the ballots.
There are two shifts every day (8:00-12:30 and 12:30 to 5:00) from Friday, 11/7 to Tuesday, 11/18. Note that offices are closed on Tuesday the 11th.
We need shifts filled for the following cities:
Hopkins
St. Louis Park
Golden Valley
Minneapolis
Robbinsdale
Richfield
Crystal
If you are willing to take a shift (or several) please let me know by responding to this email or calling me at 612-384-0356. If you have questions please call rather than emailing, as I expect you will get a faster response.
Thank you,
Carleton
Citizens of 50-A
Tim and Nadine say a grateful thanks to everyone who supported the campaign. So many exciting events occurred which gave us such a great showing in a year of revolting against Republicans. Many folks not being Republicans chose to support our campaign by voting for Tim.
Our campaign debt is about equal to the voter support we received of 6800 citizens. We are seeking to retire this debt by your continued support. Donation options are through our web site, by mail or visiting our office. Let your neighbors who support liberty, personal responsibility, and constitutional rule of law know of the need to retire this debt.
Our state is in for very tough times in the next few years. Unfortunately, more folks in the district than not chose to continue things as usual. Higher taxes, increased government intervention into the private personal lives of citizens living in house district 50-A. Perhaps in 2010 the majority of our citizens decide real change needed and vote for limited government, constitutional rule of law, and personal responsibility.
Again thanks to every volunteer and supporter. We hope you take a few minutes to help eliminate our campaign obligations.
Tim and Nadine Utz

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Computers at the headquarters of the Barack Obama and John McCain campaigns were hacked during the campaign by a foreign entity looking for future policy information, a source with knowledge of the incidents confirms to CNN.
Workers at Barack Obama's headquarters first thought there was a computer virus.

The source said the computers were hacked mid-summer by either a foreign government or organization.
Another source, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation, says federal investigators approached both campaigns with information the U.S. government had about the hacking, and the campaigns then hired private companies to mitigate the problem.
U.S. authorities, according to one of the sources, believe they know who the foreign entity responsible for the hacking is, but refused to identify it in any way, including what country.
The source, confirming the attacks that were first reported by Newsweek, said the sophisticated intrusions appeared aimed at gaining information about the evolution of policy positions in order to gain leverage in future dealings with whomever was elected.
The FBI is investigating, one of the sources confirmed to CNN. The FBI and Secret Service refused comment on the incidents. Video Watch Brian Todd's report on the investigation. »
The sources refused to speak on the record due to the ongoing investigation and also because it is a sensitive matter involving presidential politics.
As described by a Newsweek reporter with special access while working on a post-campaign special, workers in Obama's headquarters first detected what they thought was a computer virus that was trying to obtain users' personal information.
The next day, agents from the FBI and Secret Service came to the office and said, "You have a problem way bigger than what you understand ... you have been compromised, and a serious amount of files have been loaded off your system."

One of the sources told CNN the hacking into the McCain campaign computers occurred around the same time as the breach into those of Obama's campaign.
Representatives of the campaigns could not be reached for comment on the matter.

Mark Alexander, PatriotPost.us: Tuesday, 4 November 2008, is a date which will live in infamy. While most presidential elections are followed with calls for unity by both candidates, Barack Obama issued no such call in his speech last night, with the possible exception of his observation, "I may not have won your vote tonight, but ... I will be your president, too."
Of course, none was expected -- liberals have elected a Socialist with deep ties to cultural and ethnocentric radicalism, and his executive and legislative agenda poses a greater threat to American liberty than that of any president in the history of our great republic.
Obama has twice taken an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" and to "bear true faith and allegiance to the same." He has never honored that oath, and, based on his policy proposals and objectives, he has no intention to honor it after again reciting that oath on 20 January 2009. Obama seeks to, in his own words, "break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution."
Today, at least 55,805,197 Americans are concerned for the future of our nation's great tradition of liberty. Some 63,007,791 Americans have been lulled, under the aegis of "hope and change," into a state of what is best described as "cult worship" and all its attendant deception.
One of our editors, a Marine now working in the private sector, summed up our circumstances with this situation report. It aptly captured the sentiments around our office: "It's been tough, fellow Patriots; tough to stomach the idea that more than half of my fellow citizens who vote, have booted a genuine American hero to the curb for a rudderless charlatan. What a sad indictment on our citizenry that some are so eager to overlook his myriad flaws -- his radical roots, his extreme liberalism, his utter lack of experience or achievement. Barack Obama is the antithesis of King's dream: He's a man judged by the color of his skin rather than the content of his character. If it's God's will that Barack Obama is our next president, then so be it. We Patriots will pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and wade back to the war front, intent on liberty or death."
This battle is lost, but the war is not. Let's roll. -

HD50A Candidates, Volunteers, Neighbors, Families, Friends;
We're experiencing the times of our lives. The next 'election' cycle has already begun. This is America and we're citizens of a God-blessed country. Let's count our blessings right now.
A big thank-you to our own candidates: Barb Davis White; Tim Utz and spouse [!], Donna Schmitt, Ted Landwehr. We will always need candidates with enough vision for how things "ought to be" TO RUN! May only good things come of the committment and courage you showed, and the values you expressed.
Being in the 5th Congressional District has been exciting and rewarding. We have so much to do that every effort seems to make a good difference--bit by bit we're building it!
I'm looking for people to stand up and be counted. To begin again. To have an attitude of gratitude that together we can make things happen for good.
Thank-you to every person who worked, wrote letters, prayed, gave money and time, who organized events and who encouraged one of us or all of us!!!
We did many good things that we must remember to include next time around--along with including even more ideas for electing ourselves to leadership positions in 'our world' of MN politics.
Thanks to Carleton, too. Have you ever seen him discouraged? I personally have not, and I so appreciate his tenacity and availabilty...along with the other CD5 volunteers who work so hard to keep us organized and productive. We can depend on the 5th to be there for our BPOU when we need advice, common sense, ideas or encouragement. Thanks CD5.
New beginnings come along just in time to START SOMETHING!
Blessings to all,
Rae!
Chair, 50 A--an awesome MN House District!
