Bush Operatives Helping With Nader's Campaign
(Sam Hananel, Associated Press, June 30, 2004)
A watchdog group says it will file a complaint with federal election officials, accusing two conservative organizations of illegally helping Ralph Nader presidential campaign, possibly with support from President Bush re-election campaign. . . . the Oregon Family Council and Citizens for a Sound Economy violated election laws last week by telephoning people and urging them to help Nader get on Oregon's ballot in November. . . . Both groups acknowledge trying to influence Nader's petition drive Saturday in Oregon, in hopes that getting him on the ballot would take votes away from Democrat John Kerry and help Bush win the battleground state. . . . Sloan said she also would name the Nader and Bush campaigns in her complaint because of reports that some Bush-Cheney volunteers may have made similar calls from Bush campaign offices. . . . "If Bush-Cheney was soliciting those corporations to assist the Nader campaign, then that's a violation," she said.

[COMMENT: The Bush people are obviously aware that they cannot win the upcoming election on the merits of their policies. Actually, this is no surprise, as they also lost the 2000 election. So they have now gotten behind Nadar and are also making plans to suspend the US elections in November.
