Sherole Eaton Fund - Please Help!

[NoBushSpokenHere]

Fund name: Sherole Eaton 11/02/2004
Donation address: Michael Eaton, 7157 Addington Road, New Albany, Ohio 43054

See below from Sherole:

Any money left over will go to The Disabled Voters of America. Wish I didn't need the money and I could just go back to work after surgery. Michael (my son) is an accountant and he won't pay a bill without a valid invoice. Money will go toward medical, legal and some household bills. I still get my SS (Thank God for SS) and that check will pay my house payment, car payment and a few household bills. I've scaled back on any monthly bills that are not necessary.

The attorney, Kate Schulte who is looking at my case now, is going to take the case on a contingency basis. Up front costs will have to be paid by me to the attorney. Such as: depositions, clerks, outside attorneys, meals, gas, phone bills, etc.

From me:

Sherole will verify the organization dedicated to receive any excess funds (if any). Also will determine if this is the organization that is promoting DRE - if so, I am sure Sherole will designate another organization to receive the excess funds.

Sherole's insurance can be continued through COBRA at a cost of $600 per month. She has also been offered some speaking engagements that would create a hardship without funds to help with airfare, etc.

Also, keep in mind once her surgeries are completed and she is recovered, she will need a job. I will be posting her qualifications once I receive them from her.

Please help our "Democracy Heroine" - She is truly a wonderful lady!

1. BOE Meetings and Hocking Democrat Meetings

As soon as I can find out when the next public meetings of these groups are, I will post.....maybe we can show the DINO's how many REAL DEMOCRATS are against their actions!

[LightningFlash]

5. Force them all to resign...Every last one..

Make them remember this has gone on long enough http://www.votersunite.org/info/content/newmessup-17.asp

And we're not standing by :mad: :mad: :thumbsdown:

[emlev]

2. I'm sorry this has sat all day without response

I wonder if people remember who Sherole is and what she did.

In case not: Sherole Eaton worked at the Hocking County, Ohio Board of Elections. She "blew the whistle" on Triad Corporation (one of the GOP-controlled e-voting companies) after a Triad technician accessed the BOE's computers just before the recount, but after recieving the information about which precincts were to be recounted. He also showed the BOE staff how to create a cheat sheet and hang it on the wall to help them ensure that the recount results would match the original vote tallies. For her efforts, Sherole was fired from the Board of Elections.

We need more whistleblowers, people with the inside story who are willing to risk telling it. And for there to be more, potential whistleblowers need to know that we have their backs, that when they're retaliated against, we will stand by them!

7. CICJ Election Protection Chosen as Group to Receive Excess Funds

Sherole has chosen the following group to receive any excess funds raised on her behalf. This is a group associated with Bob Fitrakis - more info on the group is found: http://www.freepress.org/store.php

She has withdrawn the offer to previous group mentioned in an earlier post on this thread.

Update on Sherole: Her face is swollen, but she is doing well.

8. Hoping she'll be at the Housting Hearings--folks, please help!

I'm getting grumpy about no response to this thread.

I spoke to Sherole for the first time a few days ago. She sounded good.

9. Houston Hearings

Sherole wants to attend the Hearing, just up in the air right now due to her health. I am wishing the timing was better for her.

10. DINOs want to replace Sherole with Ex Saudi-Arabian Oil Co Employee

The BOE wants to replace Sherole with Sue Wallace, a Hocking County Board of Elections employee. Sue, an employee who claims to be a Democrat, had no party affiliation until AFTER returning to the states after several years of being employed by a large oil company in Saudi Arabia. It is noted in previous Hocking County affidavits that Sue Wallace was keeping absentee ballots in an unlocked desk drawer during the recount. Recount workers overheard election workers talking about the absentees being a mess. When the recount volunteers requested to see the absentee ballots, Hocking BOE shut the recount down before the Green party had access to the records. Election workers could not account for all the ballots. Sue Wallace was responsible for the absentee ballots.

15. DINO BOE Member Susie Hughes Removed Sherole from Prayer List

Susie Hughes, Democrat In Name Only (DINO) had Sherole removed from the prayer list at the Catholic church they both attend in Logan, Ohio, just a few days after her unsuccessful surgery. Susie informed church members Sherole came to the Democrat meeting the night she was home from the hospital and that she was doing fine and didn't need to be on the list.

Sherole is still recovering from surgery, still has the aneurysm, still needs surgery and still needs prayers. Sherole fully explained her medical crisis to the crowd attending the meeting, of which Susie was present.

I will be posting another thread regarding the possible illegitimacy of Susie Hughes acting as a BOE member.

[Time for change]

18. Sherole Eaton

Is it true that it is only because of her that we know about the Triad technician who dismantled a tabulator during the sample recount in order to make the recount match the original vote, so that there would be no full recount in Hocking County?

[NoBushSpokenHere]

19. She was asked to commit fraud

She witnessed the Triad technician remove the hard drive from the tabulating computer that had the Nov 2 results on it....and the Triad technician asked her to post a cheat sheet on the wall with the totals of the precinct the Board would choose to hand count, and was told to have the Board glance at the wall as they were counting the ballots so that they could count to that number so that the number would match the tabulator total. If the numbers matched there would be no hand count of the rest of the precincts.

Strangely enough, the Board did not select by random, they selected a precinct where the numbers were more evenly Kerry/Bush because "It would be less likely to be a problem" The count, miraculously came out to the totals they wanted. Easy to do when you count very quickly.

After Sherole stood up and the recount was stopped before it was completed, she was forced by the BOE to take "comp time" off. While she was off, they discovered an aneurysm. When she returned, they held a BOE meeting and DINO Hughes seconded the motion to fire her and all 4 members voted for her firing.

She was commended by these same Democrat board members at the next meeting after the recount for what a wonderful job she did throughout the election and the recount.

Now, remember, she was off work after the recount for the biggest share of the time preceding her firing. The Board would not give an official reason for her termination.

In the meantime, the Republican Director of Elections in Hocking County, Lisa Swartz spent several weeks after the recount shredding documents and voter records without authorization. She also planned Republican fundraisers, inviting bands, etc., using county equipment and time to do so. She did this in front of the DINO Chairman of the Board without any reprimands.

Also, the ex-Saudi Arabian oil employee, Sue Wallace, was the election worker in charge of the absentee ballots. They could not give an answer to the Green Party volunteers when asked how many absentee ballots were counted. She kept some of them in an unlocked desk drawer. Blackwells office was aware of the absentees being unaccounted for in Hocking County. Sue was not reprimanded for this.

Green Party volunteers asked for a print out of all the absentee voters. The SOS's representative refused to give this and the recount was promptly stopped. Sue Wallace is the person the DINO's want to take over as Deputy Director.

So yes, to answer your question.......She was the whistleblower for the Triad tampering. She didn't want to lose her job. She liked her job, she is 65 years old and hoped to stay in her hometown to work. Now she is without a job, with the same bills she had before, the same health problem, the same concerns about the integrity of the vote.

She is a true hero........let's not let her down.

23. Upfront Legal Costs are $20,000

Just spoke with Sherole, her upfront legal costs are going to be $20,000. There has been $2,500 pledged to date. Please help spread the word - we need to help this wonderful lady who stood up for democracy!

[Peace Patriot]

24. Donation done! DUers, this courageous woman deserves our support!

Please contribute whatever you can. Even small donations help morale, and build momentum--and pay bills! And, as we proved with the funding of the Kerry campaign, "small" is a snowball! I'm still amazed at how we kept the Kerry campaign financially competititve with the Bush Cartel money machine--with numerous small donations. (If only the DNC had been believers in democracy, and not corrupt! Sigh.)

The personal courage and intelligence and patriotism that Sherole has shown must be supported! Donate TODAY. NOW.

NoBushSpokenHere, could you just give us a line or two on what the lawsuit is about.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

25. The lawsuit is to force them to rehire Sherole

The lawsuit is to force them to rehire Sherole with backpay. She was fired because she blew the whistle on the Triad vote tabulating company dismantling the computer the November 2nd election results were stored on prior to the recount. The Triad technician also instructed her to post a sheet on the wall with the amount of votes for Bush and Kerry of the precinct that had been preselected by the Board to hand count. -more later-

[Peace Patriot]

26. She should not only be re-hired, she should be given the

Congressional Medal of Honor, and a couple of Purple Hearts as well. And she will be. She will be some day. Know it, Sherole! THAT is the caliber of hero that you are! The best!

[NoBushSpokenHere]

27. Thank You for the kind words I will pass the message to her.

Her computer is still down. I am concerned that between the surgery, the firing, the amount of money she needs to fight the corruption, that she may fall into a depressed state. That is why it is so important to me to help raise funds and to urge people to attend the rally (hopefully we will have one) on July 5th. We really need to show her that WE ARE PROUD OF HER ACTIONS. It is just sickening to know that this woman put it all on the line to have her fellow democrats castigate her. The DLC should be giving her a medal instead of sweeping the corruption under the rug. John Kerry should have at least called her in thanks. Howard Dean should have called her to see what he could do.

John Conyers called her and told her he stands behind her 100%. We will remember those that have. We will forget those that don't.

31. She did not blow the whistle on anyone!

Triad systems did not do anything wrong. They were only doing business. The authorities said that Triad did not do anything wrong and even Sheorle said the same thing. What you say about the Triad company is not the truth. You have no evidence to say that Triad did anything wrong.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

32. Asking an elections representative to

avoid a recount of all the ballots by posting a cheat sheet is wrong. Removing the hard drive on a tabulating computer that contains the voting records without being watched by a representative of the BOE is wrong.

Skinner said I could only have one thread regarding this fund.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

37. Update July 8th

Currently there has been $1,800 contributed to Sherole's fund. Her son has decided not to make this fund tax deductible due to the large amount of paperwork that would be necessary. Her whistle blower attorney needs approximately $5,000 to start, expected to cost around 20,000 for legal expenses such as depositions, etc. The case is on a contingency basis. Sherole just wants democracy, fair elections and her job back.

The money contributed to this fund is for Sherole's legal expenses, health insurance COBRA premiums, and living expenses. Her living expenses are not high, she lives a very modest lifestyle. Any help will be appreciated greatly.

A BRAD BLOG exclusive. Guest blogged by Winter Patriot



According to a recent statement from Dr. Robert J. Fitrakis:




For those of you following the Sherole Eaton story in Hocking County, Ohio, I spoke with her last night and found out the Hocking County Prosecutor has called for a meeting of the Board of Elections on Monday (tomorrow, July 11). Voting rights activists have already contaced the Sheriff's dept. regarding Lisa Swartz's conducting of an admitted Republican fundraiser while she worked for the BOE. Activists in Hocking County plan to file theft in office and other related charges against Swartz. As most of you may know, the Hocking County BOE is under a temporary restraining order from replacing Sherole Eaton since last Tuesday thanks to Cliff Arnebeck. Cliff and I are working on a permanent injunction to have Eaton reinstated to her job with BOE since she is a whistleblower.

If you are contributing by pay pal, you will need this address.

Sherole is preparing to charge her credit card for the initial legal expenses...........let's all help her!

[NoBushSpokenHere]

41. Please help me post this all over "the internets"

Sherole really needs this money for her legal battle. She has worked all her life for Democrat candidates and causes. She deserves all the support we can give.

Without funds, she may not be able to help bring justice to our cause. She charged her attorney fees to a credit card, she should have been buying groceries instead. Let's all dig deep and contribute to this wonderful person!

45. Thanks for setting this up

Until I'm convinced that the Dem party is doing everything in its power to deal with the ongoing election fraud in this country, I'd much rather donate money to legitimate causes. Whistleblowers are the true patriots in this country --- they really do deserve our help.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

49. Check out this thread.......

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4162436&mesg_id=4162436

Now, it will be next week before we can get a legal opinion on this but I have serious doubts that the DLC can't stand behind Sherole on this. John Conyers has pledged the full support of the Congressional Panel.....now if they can stand behind Sherole, then why can't the DLC and John Kerry?

Anyone care to issue an opinion?

[NoBushSpokenHere]

43. I know Sherole is receiving tremendous emotional support nationwide ...

but at the same time, she has had to borrow money in order to pay an attorney to begin her whistle blower case. I know that everyone here supports what she has done, but why is it that I am the only one that bumps this post? And, why aren't people giving more to her fund? All she wants is to have her job back with back pay. She doesn't want anything else monetarily.

But, because her health is bad due to an aneurysm and recent unsuccessful brain surgery, she has to continue insurance at a high cost and the legal costs of this case may exceed $20,000. She lives a very modest lifestyle.

When I think of the money we all donated to John Kerry (that he turned over to the DNC), and all that has and hasn't happened so far, I am amazed that we cannot help this wonderful lady that had the courage to stand up!

It is time we stood up for her by giving a donation to her fund.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

44. Update July 20

Received this from Sherole's son earlier today:

As of 7/20/05 the contributions are up to $2100. Mom's legal fees are expected to be as high as $20,000 and her monthly insurance is costing $573 per month. She has already been charged $5000 in legal fees. Thanks for all your help!!!!

48. Kick for our heroine! will donate something soon!

Others please help! even 10 bucks can help if enough folks toss it in the pot.

[timewellspent]

50. I guess you kept this on the first page

I would say that there are many more contributions or groups that need the money. It is said that another BlackBoxvoting.org advocate is wanting more money. Sherole did not blow a whistle on anyone and it is said that she is playing a game. The constant kicking of this post is not called for. People can contribute where they want. I do not think that Sherole can help in the cause of this revolution. Sorry, but that is what I have to say.x(

[NoBushSpokenHere]

51. To timewellspent: I notice that 2 of your 3 posts are in regard to

discrediting Sherole Eaton. You are either with the same group that contributed to harming Andy Stephenson, someone with Triad, someone with a personal vendetta against Sherole, or perhaps just someone who wants to stand in the way of democracy.

Whichever one you are, beware, your day will come.

[Time for change]

52. On what basis do you say that she didn't blow a whistle on anyone? n/t

[timewellspent]

55. Thank you TFC for not accusing me

Just a brief explanation. I have been in contact with the Green Party observer that obtain the affidavit from Sherole. The affidavit was obtained the night that he spent the night with Sherole at her house. She has publicly spoken towards the fact that the "cheat sheets" that the triad rep said to post was in fact her words. He printed out the official reports so they could compare numbers.

My point in all of this is that Sherole released that affidavit under false pretenses and that should be heard. I am not saying that she did anything wrong, in fact, she put it in writing so that she would go on record. That being said, the affidavit was written in Sherole's house with the help of the Green Party recount observer.

I just hope that people will contribute "money" and there efforts into something that will have results.

I thank you for not immediately accusing me of being part of any group. My intentions are always to get to the truth. The Green Party representative was also there during the investigations or the "hearing" when triad reenacted the things that took place. His report is the same as the prosecuting attorney's. Triad did nothing wrong, only prepared a new client with the support that any good company would do for their customer.

To answer your question directly, Sherole didn't blow a whistle on anyone, because there was nothing to blow. The affidavit was written to cover her tracks. A hearing was held and nothing was found. She even said that on the Bradd Blog interview.

I just don't want to see money going to the wrong place. I feel for Sherole since the surgery had the results as it did. She will continue to perceiver. I commend her on that. Everyone should stand for what they believe in.

I am not here to tell anyone that Sherole doesn't deserve any money from the good hearted. I just have questions on the way that the affidavit was obtained and that the Green Party observer said that it is all ok.

Thanks again for not jumping down my throat. Alot of people immediately accuse others for being something that they are not.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

56. The Green Party observer that you mention

said that Triad was okay after he spent 3 hours on the phone with them. He wanted to help Sherole with her affidavit, but she refused. She completed the affidavit the next day after the observer left. And to further explain, he stayed at Sherole's house after she met with the Conyers panel because it was late when they returned from meeting with the panel and he was concerned about her safety. He was 100% against Triad until the phone conversation.

The observer you mention is the only one I have spoken to with the Green Party that decided Triad didn't mean any harm when they removed the hard drive and asked the election workers to cheat on the recount.

And, don't forget Sherole was under alot of pressure from the Hocking BOE to withdraw the affidavit so the investigation would be crippled. The observer you mention was at the courthouse when Triad explained why they put a patch on a computer because the battery went bad......Triad never explained why the hard drive was replaced that had the totals on it.

The tabulator was never taken into evidence, questions never were answered to the satisfaction of those concerned. Only to the observer you mentioned and only after he had a 3 hour private conversation with Traid.

And, her Affidavit was her own doing, not his.

[timewellspent]

57. Sorry to get you into a place you don't want to be

The hard drive was never replaced. Your facts are not facts. The things that you say are here say. Please try and refrain from being dramatic. I'm not here to argue with you. Only to explain the chain of events. Since you have spoken to the Green Party Observer, did he tell you about his activities? Sherole herself said that he was a warlock (I guess that means that he is a male witch). Please keep your comments to facts. I understand that you know Sherole. Hocking County is a small county and you all probably know each other.

I was responding to a person that is actively trying to fix the system. I was not responding to you because you react with flames and accusations. I feel that you are trying to have people contribute to a cause for your friend. That is great in your mind, but does not contribute to the greater good.

You accused me of many things, I am not with any conspiracy or group, I am with the green party. So, You are saying things that are not facts. Triad has done everything that they need to do. Sherole is an admirable person and she should get that credit.

Your attempts to get her job back is awesome, so be it. I have no control over that. What I like to look at is what our purpose is in the election reform and I do not think that Sherole shed any light on the matter. Some may disagree and that is why we are in America.

I would request to you that you check the facts before you spout off any more wrong facts.

We gathered alot of information during the recount that could contribute to all of your causes. I believe that this forum has gone to the waste side. I guess it is time to move with people without insults.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

60. There is alot of good that has come out of the Eaton Affidavit

in contributing to the investigations of fraud of the 2004 election. You are not taking me to a place I do not want to be. I would not have been posting regarding this issue if I didn't want to discuss it.

Sherole's testimony (in addition to other items) is the hard drive was removed from the tabulating computer. She was an eyewitness to this. Just because Triad said they were only patching the computer because the clock battery was bad, did not exonerate them.

Explain why Triad suggested the BOE cheat on the recount so that the machine count matched the hand count of the 3% so that the hand count would match the machine count. When questioned, I believe they attempted to explain this by saying they were concerned that it wouldn't match the hand count. They wanted the cheat sheet posted so the board could lie and give the machine count tabulation instead of what the actual count would be.

As far as whether Sherole's testimony is important, it is very important to John Conyers and the congressional committee, it is important to David Cobb, it is important to the Green Party Attorney's, it is considered important to those who are continuing to investigate the 2004 election.

Yes, I am aware the recount observer you mention is a warlock. I didn't see where that has anything to do with the issue (and still don't). He was an out of state volunteer who coordinated several counties in Southeast Ohio. He did a 180 degree turn after talking to Triad on the phone. He told other Green Party observers after that phone call that his report would indicate Triad was 100% clean.

I understand there have been a few affidavits submitted that support those facts.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

63. Correction: Sherole had written her affidavit prior to ever meeting

the Green Party observer mentioned. She took it with her to the meeting with the Conyer's panel. This Green Party observer did drive Sherole to the airport to meet with the panel because he volunteered to do it. Sherole hadn't ever met him until he drove her to the airport. She gave copies of the Affidavit to the congressional panel members at the airport.

[timewellspent]

64. Sounds like you are finally figuring it out

Please get it straight. This is what I am talking about. Should you contribute? To what? As long as you keep asking her for straight answers, you will someday find the truth.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

65. The copies given to the panel that day were not notarized.

The signed Affidavit was given the next day. Sherole previously said she made minor changes to it. The copies the panel has in their records will prove this.

There may be other solid evidence to prove it as well.

[Time for change]

61. Thank you for the explanation timewellspent

I think that there are two reasons for contributing money to Sherole Eaton, none of which is specifically to "get results", as you put it.

First, because she deserves it, having apparently lost her job for making a brave effort to prevent what she saw as an abuse of our election system. And second, because helping her out sends a signal to others who may be faced with similar choices in the future. I think that we will need people like that.

I understand from your explanation that you feel that Triad did nothing wrong in this situation. It's hard for me to argue that with you because you obviously are closer to the situation than I am -- though I must say that your view certainly is at odds with all other accounts that I've read of this. Whether you call them "cheat sheets" or not, I don't see any legitimate purpose in explaining to election officials how to make sure that the recount figures match the original totals. Isn't that a perversion of the whole idea of starting out with a 3% recount?

I have already been accused of all kind of things. I appreciate a warm welcome, but this must not be the place for a person that was a Green Party Observer. So much for the diplomatic point of view.

Thanks anyways.

54. Why would you link Sherole to Blackbox voting?

Yes, it was my intention to kick the thread. Thanks for helping!.. :)even if inadvertently. What revolution are you working for? Those of us here who follow this issue closely would be likely to think her worthy of support. Do you have any evidence/links to support your unfavorable assertions or are you just expressing a weak, unfounded on any fact, 'opinion'?

[timewellspent]

58. Sorry Melissa, not intended to link to blackboxvoting

Melissa,

I am not trying to stir up any trouble. I know the facts of hocking county. Sherole (I don't believe) is linked to blackboxvoting. But What I don't what to happen is the same thing that happened there. People contribute and not get anything out of it.

I am very sorry for mentioning blackboxvoting with this situation.

66. Aneurysm surgery will be in a few weeks n/t

[timewellspent]

67. HaHa the next Aneurysm Surgery?????

It is time to let you all know that the "Aneurysm" is in a place in her head that is not dangerous. Sheorole is going to different doctors to try and get it "removed" but it is no danger. She will not die from it. Have a good time with this one. We have all seen people that are suffering. Even those that are not aware of it. This forum should focus on making a fair election. Not giving money to people that will not make that happen. I have seen so many people contribute money to a cause that doesn't make sense. Before every election there is always a public test in every county in the USA. That is where we need to go, the public test. They are required to post it 48 hours before it happens.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

68. The aneurysm is dangerous, not sure where you are getting your

information, but it is wrong. Also, I question, why do you seem to be so upset about the fund? Do you not support someone who had the courage to come forward? Do we turn our backs on those that do? How can you laugh about someone having such a serious surgery? Sherole has a long incision down her head from her previous unsuccessful brain surgery to remove the aneurysm, I suppose you think this is funny, too?

[merh]

70. I have never, ever heard of an aneruysm not being dangerous.

Do you have some source that I can go to that will help me better understand your contention that the aneruysm is not dangerous?

That's like saying cancer isn't dangerous or a heart condition.

71. Rumour has it

that the BOE is not going to offer Sherole her job back, but are they not going to replace her with Sue Wallace, either. (See Saudi Arabia post, this thread)

72. Crocheted Blanket to be auctioned on EBay for Sherole

This is to be placed on EBay tomorrow. The plan is for bids to run for 7 days. The blanket (an afghan) was crocheted by a good friend of Sherole's. Will post more details later.

73. Quilt to be Auctioned

Just a bit of a correction...
The item is a full size quilt donated by Laverne Wolfely, an 88 year young democrat from Hocking County. She couldn't bear what was happening to Sherole and donated this to be auctioned off for her. So please pass this on to everyone you know.

77. Sherole will be having anuerysm surgery this upcoming week

Please keep her in your thoughts.

78. IDEA: Why not have someone with a vidcam...

make a short interview with her (a "mini-documentary") explaining what happened, and her current situation, with a place where donations can be sent. It could be promoted/distributed far and wide on the internet.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

79. Great Idea

She has been interviewed a few times but she didn't mention the fund as she doesn't want to ask for the money herself, of course. I will discuss this with her and see if she is willing.

She has been invited to speak in DC on Sept. 23rd, and I believe, plans to do so.

80. Just interview her, then add the info in credits in post.

Time to do some desktop video production pieces to get the word out. Some applicable ideas here:

82. Great suggestions - will hopefully find some time to work on this! n/t

81. This has already happened

You ask for a media or video of her, but they are all over the net. She was interviewed with the Brad Blog. All of that is there. It is time to get involved before the election not afterward. From my indications, we will hear that her next surgery is unsuccessful, because there is nothing to fix.

83. I was responding to your post when I received the phone call

regarding Sherole's daughter. Instead of a response, I will just say an extra prayer that you will never have to have a family member with an aneurysm.

You spun this around to make it look like we should now take care of Sherole's daughter, but how how is Sherole doing? Was her surgery ok? Did they fix her brain?

90. Update with Great News!

Sherole came through her surgery! They placed 3 coils in the aneurysm. I understand they had difficulty with the first coil, as sometimes happens. The surgery took longer than expected, but she is doing good! She is having trouble speaking due to some complications, but should be fine.

Her daughter, Kim is doing okay. They did not coil the aneurysm in her carotid artery at this time. The puncture of the artery caused her to lose circulation in her leg, but the surgery to mend it allowed the circulation to return. The aneurysm will be monitored for increase in size and if it becomes larger, they will take care of it.

Very relieved with all this news...and hoping that the board of elections and everyone involved will reconsider their decision to fire her as this would greatly alleviate her stress level. If not, I figure it should just be a matter of time before there are other indictments as Hocking County had some of the same violations as the Cuyahoga Board. I also hope that donations will continue as this brave lady deserves to have help with her legal bills let alone money to eat and pay bills.

A Great Big THANK YOU from NoBushSpokenHere and from her friends and family for all your concern, special thoughts and prayers. Your generosity and concern have been appreciated!

92. Talked with Sherole today

She was on a panel before the Black Caucus last Friday prior to the protest. She walked the protest and is doing well. Needs and wants a job, but has high hopes of regaining her position as Deputy Director with Hocking County BOE.
