2. In 2006, Jennifer Brunner raised over $2,200,000 to run for Ohio Secretary of State Why so much money to run for a secretary of state office? As you will see newly formed left wing organizations had something called the “SOS project”. Five states were targeted to change the republican secretary of state to a democrat: Iowa, Nevada, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Ohio. All 5 offices changed party affiliation. Jennifer Brunner received over $300,000 from unions and union locals in 2006 She was provided with over $360,000 in campaign contributions from herself, her family, and her family’s law firm Jennifer Brunner received campaign contributions from 454 lawyers for over $220,000 She received over $300,000 from the Ohio Democratic Party, the money donated to the the ODP by some of the same groups that donated directly to her.

5. Before we move on with Jennifer Brunner, it seems appropriate to explain, just a little, how the corruption is perpetrated. It begins with a complex system of small groups of folks that have an agenda for America that none of us want. The republicans are every bit as corrupt as the democrats. They each, just have different agendas. The diagram to the right is a “Muckety Map”. It shows relationships and connections between people (pink) and organizations (blue). What I can’t show you is the extent that these relationships permeate the system. member Large Contributor

6. On some of the colored squares you can see a small plus sign. This expands the relationship of that person or group further. It would take thousands of slides and hundreds of hours to view the intricate fabric of these connections, so I will only show you two. Yes just two, and you will begin to see how money moves and corrupts our elections. member Large Contributor

7. Let’s talk about EMILY”S List for a few minutes. Emily’s list purports on their web site to be “dedicated to building a progressive America by electing democrat women….” It gave $50,000 to Ohio democrat candidates including $11,000 to Jennifer Brunner “Catalist” is an organization that exists “to nurture a vibrant, growing, progressive community” by maintaining and using a high tech database of information on every American of voting age. member Large Contributor

8. Do you remember “America Votes” from the Democracy Alliance slide? Well, Emily’s list is a member of “America Votes” and if you remember, was founded by Cecile Richards who is now Nancy Pelosi’s Dep.Chief of Staff. America Votes has three large lobbying firms spending millions to pass legislation and gain influence over candidates. Now watch how little Susie Buell fits in to the program Major fundraiser Large Contributor member

9. Little Susie is the sink for the web. The money comes in through the faucet and goes out through the drain. Our innovative “campaign finance reform” created a maximum contribution of $10,000. Both parties create these complex organizations, with hundreds of members, hundreds of employees, and hundreds of contributors that are given the money and then told where to send it. This way candidates that are slated to win get millions of dollars funneled to them. Is there a quid pro quo? Why would you go through this much trouble? You decide. This is only a very small strand in the giant web of corruption that’s overwhelming our political system. Large Contributor member

10. One final lesson: There was a large contributor to Jennifer Brunner that seemingly had no connection to these organized groups. His name is S. Daniel Abraham. He has a truly American story, being poor and is now the founder of Slim-Fast. He lives in Florida now, but is from New York. It seemed his only interest was freedom and security for Israel and other Jewish causes. Then why give $10,000 to a secretary of state candidate in Ohio? Watch this: Mr. Abraham is a large donor of the “Birthright Israel Foundation” Have you ever heard the name Marc Rich? He also is a donor to the “Birthright Israel Foundation”. He was prosecuted and convicted of tax fraud by Rudy Guiliani. His lawyer was Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff. And he was pardoned by Bill Clinton. Another of Mr. Rich’s attorneys was Jack Quinn, former chief of staff for vice president Al Gore Now, guess who arranged the pardon? Then U.S. attorney……now… Attorney General, Eric Holder Coincidence? You decide.

11. Here are some other state races for the secretary of state office and how much money was raised. In 2006 Jennifer Brunner raised $2,266,079 in campaign contributions to run for secretary of state. She had three opponents who combined, raised $2,058,000 in campaign funds for a total of $4,324,079 (4 candidates) Idaho $364,000 (4 candidates) Wisconsin $112,460 (4 candidates) Massachusetts $1,063,917 (3 candidates) Arizona $851,614 (6 candidates) Colorado $1,042,873 (2 candidates) All together the five states targeted by the S.O.S Project raised $8,942,002 South Carolina $345,617 (3 candidates) Kansas $427,525 (6 candidates)

12. There are now 34 democrat secretaries of state In the States this office, most often, controls elections

13. A.C.O.R.N. Ties Karyn Gillette, development director of Project Vote was paid $21,250 by the Brunner Campaign to consult Project Vote, an affiliate of ACORN contracts with ACORN to conduct voter registration drives. In 2008 Project Vote turned in 160,000 NEW voter registration cards Election results: Jennifer Brunner-2,104,010 other candidates-1,719,188 A loophole is created in Ohio voter law to allow voters to register and vote at the same time. Jennifer Brunner issues directive to all boards of elections to mandate all new registrants to be given ballot when they register. Law suit is stopped by Ohio Supreme Court and over 200,000 unverified ballots are counted. Jennifer Brunner appeals judge’s decision to force secretary of state to provide mechanism to verify voter registration cards GOP sues to stop tactic and verify registrations before vote is cast
