We have a girl who is murdered and raped. We have two people held in jail for two years without charges, then released. A young man who was already in jail on a rape charge was to have confessed to the rape and murder of the girl.

The deputies that investigated the murder were later taken off the case as lead investigators. It had been a year and no progress was being made. The events occurred during an election year when the County Commissioners, Clerk of Court, District Attorney, and Sheriff were all up for election. There was a rumor that someone would run for the District Attorney’s seat. The current District Attorney, Ron Moore, had been in that office and few, if any, would consider a challenge to the powerful long time machine.

This created a sense of urgency to solve the crime as this was a horrible act and the District Attorney along with the Sheriff is the one to administer justice. The reported chain of events is as follows. A woman said she saw two men put a body in the trunk of a car. She was a former girlfriend of one of the men. John Elkins re-interviewed her later and her statement became less than clear. After reviewing the evidence, the investigators came to the conclusion that the two men were not the guilty parties. The only problem is that the men had been held in jail for two years.

Asheville real-estate offices struck

Early in the morning of June 14, windows were smashed out, locks were
glued, and spray paint was left behind at the offices of Beverly Hanks Realtors
and Private Mountain Communities in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. These
two companies play a major role in the destruction of our beautiful mountains by
perpetuating sprawl. BH and PMC both have exclusive rights to the marketing of
gated communities, where the priveleged build second homes in one of the most
diverse ecosystems in the US. Thousands upon thousands of acres of Western North
Carolina's mountains are stripped bare every year for these exclusive
developments where the rich attempt to shelter themselves from the rest of the
world.

We will not stand for the desecration of the trees, streams,
and creatures at the hands of greedy developers. Despite overwhelming public
opposition to these developments, the real estate companies and development
firms continue on their path of ecocide.

So we decided to hit them in the only way they understand--money. As
long as these scumbags continue their rape of the Earth, we will inflict
economic damage on them. Join us in taking militant direct action against the
developers in your neck of the woods. We must take responsibility for the land
that sustains us!

WCGOP BULLETIN

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) is one of the strongest voices speaking out against the immigration amnesty bill.

Sen. DeMint was just on the Laura Ingraham talk radio show updating her audience about the latest progress regarding this ridiculous bill.

He said the pressure senate Republicans are receiving from the White House is extreme, and some senators appear to be weakening upon hearing that there is the possibility of special supplementary funding to ensure the borders are secure.

You will remember, money was appropriated last year for nearly 900 miles of fencing.....not an inch of it has been built yet.

But to this point, the amnesty aspects of the bill remain intact, as do many other elements that, essentially, allow for the absorption of millions of illegals with little or no accountability for their lawbreaking, or acknowledgement of the millions of LEGAL immigrants who continue to wait for their citizenship.

DeMint said that ALL of our senators need to hear from their constituents. They need the support to justify their defiance of the White House's pressure to accept this amnesty bill.

Give Sen. Elizabeth Dole and Sen. Richard Burr your show of support for their efforts to stop this bill!
