Andy Stephenson
(1963-2005)
In Memoriam

All-time American patriotic "good guy" Andy Stephenson passed away on Thursday, July 7, 2005 at 6:27 EST/9:27 PST after a rather short but heroic bout with pancreatic cancer. The many thousands who understood his cause and who contributed to the cost of his operation proved the effect he was having upon citizens from coast to coast. It was their "thank-you."

A terrific friend to all patriotic Americans attempting to set the country back on the right course, Andy was passionate about corruption in the American voting system. So intense was his desire to prevent U.S. legislators from allowing elections to be "fixed," Andy set about channeling his life to affect real change by going from city to city explaining potential evils of the new electronic voting machines, i.e. continuous hacking and no paper trail for honest recounts. (The machines are now being forced on all 50 states) Andy demonstrated to countless audiences around the U.S.A. how connected modems could be used to hack the results of any election--making it impossible to throw Presidents, Senators and Congressmen out of office!

Having talked to Andy many times on the phone, he helped me with info for a few of my stories and I can tell everyone that Andy was an incredible researcher--one who was able to connect pieces of an investigative puzzle with ease. Moreover, Andy opened my eyes to the astonishing hypocrisy of the current administration with regard to pedophilia, homosexuality and the duping of "people of faith," using them for selfish electoral purposes. He mailed me countless court documents for two of my most widely read stories about Capitol Hill pedophilia. Andy, you packed a lot of life into your 42+ years. And I have a feeling all Americans "in the know" will join me in asking God to bring us someone else like you who will pick up your flag for "honest elections," even if it takes a second straight presidential impeachment (and hopefully removal in handcuffs with a prison term) to cleanse America of pre-emptive war, an obvious "false-flag" 9/11 attack, millions of illegal aliens and stolen trillions from the U.S. Treasury which is destroying America economically.

...Yes, your Spirit now flies for all of us... May the Lord bless you, Andy--and may you rest in peace.

Your friends,

Tom Flocco and "WHITESTAR"

1. I find it healing to read all the

wonderful tributes to Andy. It gives me inspiration to carry on his work.

I have a question.....What was Andy's birthdate?

2. I don't know.

Surely somebody does here.

I just keep thinking he was only 2 years older that I am. :cry:

3. He was born in October. I believe the year was 1961...

We used to laugh about how I would ALWAYS be 2 months older! I was born in August...

The tributes have been absolutely wonderful. Andy deserved no less. I miss him so...

peace.

5. I thought it was 1961 also...

...we always talked about him being only 6 years younger than I am.

In Johns Hopkins the lady checking Andy in for surgery looked at me and asked him, "and is this your MOM?" I said, "yikes I must be looking pretty bad at this hour in the morning." And Andy said something like, "um, no she's my friend; she didn't have me when she was six!"

Poor Andy was SO embarrassed for ME, even though he didn't need to be, I really thought it was FUNNY. I really am no early riser!


(No offense to Andy's real Mom, who is an absolute DEAR!)

6. Andy's voice was on the radio.

There is a brief tribute to Andy, that was played on the radio Sunday in Houston, on KPFT's Sunday Monitor show.

To hear it, go to

http://www.kpftx.org/archives/kpftsignal/index.php

Sunday Monitor ... July 10 ... It's about 12 minutes in.

It is three separate items, recorded one year ago, in Austin, before his relationship with Bev Harris went spectacularly bad, and before his health went spectacularly bad.

You can hear Andy as he, Bev and Kathleen Wynne were barnstorming around the country waking people up.

Funny guy. Determined guy.

Andy Stephenson
(Austin, Texas, July 13, 2004):
"I'm not willing to go quietly into the night.

I gave up my life for the last two years on this issue.

And I'm not going to give up until everybody's got the paper ballot."


RIP, Andy.

7. I love hearing Andy.

Not the other voice.
