Mass Voters, Here' your chance! (Let's break the record for write-ins! ...yes we can!)

I met Jim McKenna at a private gathering in Pembroke this past July.  Aside from the friendly chat we had I'm thoroughly convinced he is the person to crack down on the illegal immigrant problem that cost the Massachusetts taxpayers enormous amounts their hard earned money.
It is with great pleasure that I support and encourage his run for the office of Attorney General for the state of Massachusetts. ~ Norman E. Hooben

Millbury lawyer to run against Coakley
 
Attorney General Martha Coakley may have a Republican opponent after all. Ms. Coakley, a Democrat, has been running unopposed because the state Republican Party did not nominate anyone to challenge her in November even though she was seen as vulnerable because of her dramatic loss to U.S. Sen. Scott Brown in the January special election.

But now Millbury lawyer James P. McKenna, 49, a longtime Central Massachusetts GOP activist, says he will mount a serious write-in campaign for the Sept. 14 primary to try to get on the Nov. 9 general election ballot.

“We couldn't leave Coakley without an opponent in this race, we just couldn't,” Mr. McKenna, 49, said. “At some point, it became clear that we had to do this.”

Mr. McKenna will need 10,000 write-in votes to make the ballot. He said he plans to buy stickers with his name on them so voters can affix them to ballots in the primary.

Mr. McKenna registered his campaign committee Friday with the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance, which will allow him to start fund-raising immediately.

With no other apparent write-in candidates, Mr. McKenna, who has already met with top party officials about his bid, appears to have the support of the state party.

He said he will focus on campaigning in areas expected to have a high turnout of Republicans. These include the 10th Congressional District south of Boston, where there is an open seat and several GOP candidates; and the 3rd, 2nd and 5th Congressional Districts, which cover most of Central Massachusetts and in which the Democratic incumbents all have Republican opponents.

Joe Shannon, a spokesman for Ms. Coakley, said the attorney general "has a strong record of standing up on behalf of consumers and taxpayers and working to protect our children and communities," he wrote in an e-mailed statement. "The voters of Massachusetts know that they can trust Martha to continue to fight for them and to take on the challenges that make a difference in their lives."

Mr. McKenna said he believes that the attorney general is out of step with Massachusetts voters on illegal immigration and that she has not prosecuted political corruption enough.

“She says that technically, it is not illegal to be an illegal immigrant in Massachusetts,” he said. “The bad news is we can not have the chief law enforcement officer of the state telling us it's not illegal to be illegal.”

He said he would crack down in illegal immigrants with a similar approach to the state of Arizona, which passed a law allowing police officers to demand citizenship identification of anyone they stop.

Under his modified Arizona strategy, Mr. McKenna said he would require proof of citizenship at the time of arraignment of criminal defendants.

Mr. McKenna also criticized Ms. Coakley for inaction on political corruption cases, noting that federal authorities have brought the most significant corruption charges, including those against former Boston state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson.

He also said he would establish a public corruption strike force.

Mr. McKenna said that while he is a conservative on social issues, he will focus on illegal immigration and public corruption in his campaign.

He said he is in favor of the death penalty; opposes abortion except in cases of rape and incest; and that while he is personally against same-sex marriage, would not seek a ballot referendum to overturn it in Massachusetts.

Mr. McKenna said he had previously considered running for attorney general, but ended up as legal counsel for Republican state auditor candidate Mary Z. Connaughton of Framingham. He said he has left that position to concentrate on the write-in campaign.

Before that, Mr. McKenna was the campaign chairman for former Republican state Senate candidate Stephen N. Paige of West Boylston in 2004 and campaign coordinator for Worcester Republican Gregory White in his 2002 race for Worcester district attorney.

Mr. McKenna and his wife, Katie Lavallee, have six children, ages 8-17.

“This is a long shot, but we're going to get on the ballot, and I think we're going to win,” he said.

George Orwell's iPhone

I'm pretty much satisfied with the cell phone I'm using...about the only reason I have the phone is simply to talk to whomever I call or whomever calls me.  Never was interested in texting which seems to be pretty popular now-a-days...if ya don't want to talk, don't bother to text...I never read 'em!  Occasionally I look at some of the new products out there and the technology keeps on getting more interesting.  One such interesting product that I've never really looked at but was getting around to it, is the Apple iPhone and then I ran across this article (see below).  Makes ya want to wonder what's this world coming to...must be part of that New World Order stuff we keep hearing about. ~ Norman E. Hooben
ps: The Orwell cover with the iPhones was collaged by yours truly.
pps: If ya don't want to read the entire commentary just scroll down to the 'Let me sum it up...' section.

The following cross-posted from  AttaBoy

Apple’s “We’re Gonna Creep You Out On Your IPhone” Patent

Back in 1984, the upstart Apple Computer revealed a ground-breaking television commercial during the broadcast of Super Bowl XVIII, the infamous “Big Brother” ad that announced the introduction of the Macintosh Computer:

Note the words used as the tagline:
And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like 1984.
Apparently, Apple has decided to wait until 2010 to make it seem like 1984. In a recent patent application, Apple describes a set of features and functions they plan to develop for some of their devices, with the focus apparently on the iPhone. If you take a few minutes to read this application, you’ll begin to realize that Apple is planning on creating a real Orwellian world among its iPhone users, all in the name of protecting the device from unauthorized use.
First of all, let’s get something straight about cell phone security. Assume for the moment that you own a typical GSM-based cellular device (I’m sure the world of CDMA phones and ESNs is similar). All GSM cellular devices can be uniquely identified by the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. While hardly 100% foolproof or effective in preventing unauthorized use, if a GSM phone owner loses their device or the device is stolen, the victim can contact the cellular vendor and provide the IMEI number and request the phone be blocked from usage by anyone else. This usually only works in the country where the phone was originally sold, and there are allegedly ways to reprogram the original IMEI number to a new one (but not legally and not without great difficulty and costly equipment). Nevertheless, it’s a good immediate response to prevent someone from using your device after a theft or while you try to recover it.
(Note: this means you should make a record of the IMEI and the cell’s serial number and model when you buy it).
Apple, however, is looking out for their users, and they plan on utilizing some truly creepy features on their devices. The goal is to make certain the the device is being used by an “authorized” user. A short list of these “features” includes:
“…a microphone operable to record the voice of the current user…to…compare the recorded voice with voice prints of authorized user of the electronic device; and determine that the recorded voice does not match the voice print of any authorized user of the electronic device…”
“…a heartbeat sensor operable to detect the heartbeat of the current user…to…compare the detected heartbeat with heart signatures of each authorized user of the electronic device; and determine that detected the heartbeat does not match the heart signature of any authorized user of the electronic device…”
“…a camera operable to take a photograph of the vicinity of the electronic device; and positioning circuitry operable to determine current location information of the electronic device; and wherein the processor is further operable to: geotag the photograph by associating the photograph with the current location information…”
“…an electronic device comprising; an input device operable to receive a password provided by a user; a camera operable to take a photograph of the user; a processor operable to: determine that a predetermined number of incorrect passwords have been successively received; direct the camera to take a photograph of the user; and generate an alert notification in response to the processor determining, wherein the alert notification comprises information related to the identity of the user and the photograph of the user; and communications circuitry operable to transmit the alert notification to a remote device….”
“…wherein the alert notification is transmitted via one of text message, facsimile, VoIP application, instant messaging application, on-line profile application, on-line blog application, and a cloud server…”
Let me sum up…
You buy an iPhone. You then will be required (I assume this will be a requirement) to submit, to Apple or their agent, digital prints of your speaking voice, a photograph of your face, recordings of your heartbeat, and, apparently, photographs of locations you hang out at, in addition to sample ambient sounds and vibrations from said hangouts, in addition to other possible identifying factors. Apple is going to store all these things on some server, and when they’re suspicious of the person who happens to be using your phone, they’re going to activate all these tools, gather some biometric information and compare what they get to what they have in storage.
What could possibly go wrong?
And I suppose if it ain’t you holding the phone when the Apple police arrive, you’re going to wind up strapped to a table next to poor old Winston Smith, waiting for some shock treatment to get you right in your mind.
My first question would be: what if more than one person uses my phone? What if I loan the phone to my wife, my daughter, a friend? Does this unexpected change in voice patterns indicate some foul play afoot? Am I going to be forced to bail my wife out of the joint because I made the boneheaded decision to loan her my iPhone?
Naturally, the truly frightening aspect to this is the idea that all this biometric information is stored on some server that can be reached in seconds using the cellular phone networks. What are the chances that those servers aren’t going to be the targets of attacks by people seeing to steal some identifying information about Apple customers?
What I find particular disconcerting is that there are three people listed on the patent application as developers of these ideas and concepts. I can’t imagine that they didn’t sit down and discuss these ideas and plans without some chill running up their own spines about the invasion of privacy all this “security” is going to provide.
However, here is the most frightening things of all: millions of Apple iPhone users will likely think this is a terrific idea, and will gladly upgrade their current, non-spying-capable iPhone to the latest Big-Brother-Is-Calling device the moment it’s released to the public. Trust me, people will beat the doors down at the local AT&T store to get one. And at full price, too.

    Posted on September 2, 2010 at 9:53am He said “if you don’t want the violence to grow, you will join the fight for economic justice.” This commet alone is chilling. It is an overt threat that unless they get their way violence will ensure. My mom told me while growing up that it was important to associate with people of good character because you will tend to emulate that behavior. Mom was right in her commom sense observation. We become what we think. Obama has again revealed how radical his agenda is by his constant support and association with these radicals.
    • OutOfTheAether
      Posted on September 2, 2010 at 12:39pm So true, So true. Obama himself gave some pretty good clues during his campaign that we should judge him by the people he surrounded himself with. I think very few of us fully understood the scope of what he was saying at that time. Beck had it pegged though, and I think it gave it the right name: Crime, Inc.

    Posted on September 2, 2010 at 9:55am This guy’s Wikipedia page is interesting.
    As Pres. of the UMWA in ’89 he “encouraged non-violent civil disobedience”,
    but four years later it seems like not so much:
    “As head of the United Mine Workers, Trumka ordered a nationwide strike against Peabody Coal in 1993. On July 22, a non-union worker, Eddie York, was shot in the back of the head and killed as he attempted to pass striking coal workers. Picketers continued to throw rocks after York was shot, preventing his would be rescuers from assisting him.”
    It’s easy for me to imagine this thug sitting in the back of a limo giving the order for some scab to be “taken care of”.

The difference is once a year I can file an objection to having a portion of the dues I pay used for “non-chargeable” items, i.e. political and ideological contributions). The result is that I recieve an “advanced rebate” on my dues. This takes dollars out of the union coffers that would go to political purposes. If more people did this, the unions could find themselves in a real pinch – and be forced to simply stick to union business, and stop telling us who we have to vote for!
