Kevin Shelley Denies Military Vote?
Sect of State Kevin Shelley has used federal dollars from the "Help America Vote Act" (HAVA) for partisan political activity to benefit himself, US Senator John Kerry and the Democrat Party.
While numerous investigations continue to circle Shelley's office, a new development of Shelley's abusive mismanagement of federal funds set aside for the military is ready to break in Sacramento.
To this point, Shelley's illegal operation hasn't grabbed the ire of the citizens of California - this 'new revelation' should wake up California.
Kevin Shelley has used nearly half a million dollars in HAVA fund for political consultants hired by his office. One of the contracts went to his campaign treasurer and another to a member of the California Democrat Party.
Shelley's selfish priorities and his partisan political activity distracted his office from ensuring that the HAVA, and its federal funding, were used to help county registrars prepare for the November election. Shelley's political misuse of the HAVA Funding has drawn the attention of the Federal Elections Assistance Commission, but citizens have not grasped the magnitude of Shelley's scandalous operation in the state's office.
Now there is a ANOTHER concern brewing involving Kevin Shelley's reluctance to oversee federal funds for California citizens vote and voice...it seems that Shelley's office, while busy spending the HAVA funds to spread his name recognition, voter registration for the Democrat Party and paying off political consultants for John Kerry and other Democrat candidates...Shelley HAS NOT fulfilled the HAVA requirement for informing, educating and preparing the vote and ballots of California's military members serving overseas.
Shelley used federal funds for his personal political desires, but never fulfilled the HAVA requirements for our military members and their right to vote through absentee ballots.
As the facts reach the surface in a story that is still being researched for full impact, I wondering what the Golden State thinks of its Sect of State denying our military the federal funding set aside to better educate, prepare and provide for their votes...the votes of those who are currently serving California in this war on terrorism, risking the ultimate sacrifice on a daily basis.
Support the troops, demand that Kevin Shelley be impeached immediately!
