Voter Registration Irregularities in Portland, Oregon
Last night John Edwards was in Portland Oregon. He watched the Presidential debates on big projection television at Pioneer Courthouse Square, known locally as the 'city's living room.' Many people were there, and many news agencies were there.

Among those who were there, and among those who interviewed on television, was one twenty-year-old man named Michael Johnson. Mr. Johnson was distributing voter registration cards. What those who filled out the cards weren't aware of, and what Mr. Johnson claimed on television, was that he was 'only paid for Republicans.' Anyone who filled out a card as a Democrat had their card 'thrown in the trash.' Here's Mr. Johnson, on the left...




... and who could it be that was paying Mr. Johnson? Why, none other than Sproul & Associates. Sproul was already under scrutiny for allegedly canvasing for Republicans in public libraries while false presenting themselves as the non-partisan 'America Votes' organization. And not just in Portland, but all over the United States. Mr. Johnson got paid by Sproul & Associates. And who paid Sroul & Associates? That would be the Republican Party.

It would be the honorable thing to do if the Republican Party issued an immediate and plainly-stated disavowal of Sproul & Associates, demanded a full refund of their moneys, and prosecuted them from the top down to the highest extent of the law.
