Faces of the Fallen traveling art exhibit memorializes Nevadans killed in current South Asian wars
Las Vegas Review-Journal 3-27-2005

NO ONE DIED WHEN CLINTON LIED — The above illustration is a composite of American soldiers who have died in Iraq over the past year. A picture is worth a thousand words. Or in this case, hundreds of lives. And growing daily. (The union leader who sent the above montage and caption did not know the identity of the artist. If anyone does, I'd appreciate the information so that he/she may be properly credited. I wish people would keep in mind that in addition to more than 1,100 U.S. soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis dead, U.S. wounded now stand in the 10,000+ range. AB)

BREAKING NEWS, NOV. 29, 2004, 2:37 a.m. PST— On the same day that a contest of the November election goes to court, the web is rife with communication that Green Party activists will file for a full statewide recount. Today is the deadline. The number of no-paper-trail voting machines in populous Clark County, wherein reside 70 percent of Nevada voters, looms as an issue in both venues. Only 740 of 2,926 machines in Clark County had paper backups. (Three of the most populous cities in the state, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson, are located in Clark County, better known as Gomorrah South to the locals.) Stay tuned for more. Be well. Raise hell. AB

CARSON CITY (NOV 1, 2004, 2:23 p.m. PST)—A Reno couple lost their right to vote today for the crime of wanting to register as Democrats. The Nevada Supreme Court turned down a motion for a writ of mandamus which would have ordered county voter registrars "to place in the voters register and poll book the names of Petitioners (Eric and Traci Amberson) and all Represented Petitioners who can present...documentation evidencing their good faith completion and submission of voter registration forms."

Justices Agosti, Becker, Gibbons, Maupin and Rose stated in their order that "altough the petition raises signficant issues," they did not feel it appropriate to intervene. The court is "ill-equipped to resolve factual issues such as whether petitioners are qualified electors and whether they submitted properly complete voter registration forms. The district court is the proper forum in which to resolve this matter in the first instance." Justice Michael Douglas, who is up for election tomorrow, recused himself.

The case stemmed from activities of a GOP-retained organization accused in Nevada and other states of destroying registration forms of people who registered as Democrats.
