The Wall Street Journal:

In 1992 under Bush Sr., taxpayers were stuck with a $500 billion S&L bailout and the largest budget deficit in U.S. history. After eight years under Clinton-Gore, we now have the largest surpluses ever. Coincidence? Consider the Bush family financial record (WSJ=Wall St. Journal, WP=Washington Post):
George W: Refused to answer news questions about an $848,000 stock sale probed by the federal SEC (WSJ 4/4/91,WP 7/30/99). US News and World Report (3/16/92) compared his financial record to brother Neil's. Brother Jeb (campaigned recently with George): Lobbied to enable a Mob-linked Florida HMO to receive $1 billion in Medicare payments; its owner later fled the U.S. under indictment, suspected of up to $100 million in Medicare fraud (WSJ 8/9/88). Jeb helped trigger the $285 million collapse of a Florida S&L by defaulting on a $4.5 million loan that was arranged thru a front with no repayment schedule specified (WP 10/15/90). Brother Neil: Played a key role in the $1 billion collapse of Silverado Banking (WP 7/4/92). Uncle Jonathan: Fined in two states for violating securities laws. (WP 7/4/92). Uncle Prescott: Arranged investments for a Japanese Mob front in two U.S. firms; both later filed for bankruptcy (WSJ 12/6/91, WP 7/4/92). George Sr.: Disbanded the independent federal organized crime strike forces, which had been successfully prosecuting S&L looters (WP 12/28/89).
The above is meticulously documented with details and links to 36 cited major media sources on http://www.campaignwatch.org Republican pundit Kevin Phillips called this Bush family record a "never-ending hustle" (WP 7/4/92). Do we really want this bunch to do to privatized social security what they did to the S&Ls? Please distribute this widely ASAP - it's much easier with Email than in Paul Revere's day! David E.

Votescam: the Stealing of America. A review of the book on amazon.com includes this excerpt: "Votescam", by Collier & Collier, 1992, a documentary book about Florida vote fraud. Details include the witnessing of double-punching vote cards to disqualify ballots, whiich occurs at hand cleaning of the vote cards with tweezers before the first machine counting on election day. The investigation of this federal election fraud was sent to the Reagan Bush Department of Justice, but this investigation was stopped by US Attorney Antonin Scalia. G H W Bush then appointed Scalia to the USA Supreme Court.
