[Melinda]

2. What statute info do you need?

Narrow it down to subject matter if not code, please?

On edit: Am I goofy or what? You want volunteers to email you as opposed to gathering/posting here?

[BevHarris]

9. We don't want to tip our hand until something happens

We're only talking about a day or two, and at that time can post everything.

Once you see the two items we're looking up, you'll know exactly what we're gonna do.

Bev

[Melinda]

4. Done, ty E. :-)

[bpilgrim]

5. one suggestion...

a little off topic but you should use another email address [e-mail] easier to remeber and more tightly tied to the project makes it easier to organize, on your end.

[BevHarris]

7. NO! That goes to my publisher, not to me -- this is on a short timeline

Please use [e-mail] for this.

[bpilgrim]

11. i am saying that you should have a [e-mail]

or some other domain than your business domain for folks to contact you on this subject.

i didn't mean to imply not to send to your above address.

just an FYI, sorry for any confusion.

:hi:

peace

[BevHarris]

32. A Kick and 2 BBV Questions

1. Has anybody researched -- or asked R. Doug Lewis -- who's on his Board of Directors? He's got to have one, right? I don't think you can incorporate at all -- whether as a non-profit ( which would be a 501(c)(3) ) or a regular corp or an S-Corp -- without a BoD. In Georgia you have to have at least three -- a Pres., Secretary and Treasurer, IIRC.

2. Does anyone have a link for a nice collection of 2002 (and even incl 2000 if available) electronic voting glitches? I've got a few links, but not quite what I'm looking for. I think Bev had her own compilation, but I haven't found a link for that among my bookmark treasures.



Eloriel

[DEMActivist]

34. On your links request....

We have been quietly building the BBV Research library, thanks to help from some very dedicated DUers.

I don't have the search function done, but a full list of the articles in the library can be found here:

BBV Research Library

The articles you are looking for are near the top. There's quite a collection of the glitches and problems experienced in Georgia in 2002, including 67 missing PCMCIA cards that showed up days after the election with 3,100 votes on them.

[Generic Other]

75. emailed

from Washington state where I discovered something really strange about ginseng sellers.

[BevHarris]

77. Now that's tantalizing.

Care to share the info?

[Generic Other]

81. Specifically exempted from the laws

Don't ask me why.

[DagmarK]

82. About that Ginseng.......

I remember watching a documentary on Ginseng......a looonnngg time ago. My memory is real sketchy...

What I remember was......you can only harvest it in like just a couple of places or something..... and that would be CHINA...

And the people who sell it ...... (in the root form or in tinctures) have a monopoly on it.

Anyways......if it is exempted from any taxes or whatever, it's because of a POLITICAL FAVOR.....I do believe. And I think its's ONE family or company or person in the US that distributes it --

I shouldn't even be commenting on it based on my memory........

[Robbien]

79. No reason this should have dropped off the front page. As Bev said

Things are looking up. This is our time.

[SharonAnn]

80. OK, sent in Tennessee to your Web form
