From “Revote2017.net”: GAME ON! The other side has waived its right to respond at the Supreme Court: “The Citizens Case For a New Election” Docket #16-1464

Posted on June 25, 2017 by ThinkWingRadio

Dear All,

I thought I was going to take the weekend off, but the wave has crested and we just got word (Thanks Cindy Butler) that the other side has waived its right to respond in Supreme Court Case #16-1464 (The Citizens’ Case for a New Election). Unlike last time in Phase One:

We have a solid legal case written by attorneys, led by one admitted to the Supreme Court who knew how to take our Citizens’ Case and put it into legalese while tying it to specific cases and articles of our Constitution
We have an expanded argument that includes many different areas of the Constitution that have been violated in this election and it’s aftermath
We have 12 plaintiffs from all of the swing states and from representatives of key communities that have been the most adversely affected by the results of the stolen election in 2016
The country is finally waking up to the things we have been telling them since literally Thanksgiving when one of my family members said they would only believe me when they saw it in the NY Times.
For anyone who still wants to tell us that even though we all know that Russia (and many others) invaded our election, there is no proof that the outcome was altered, please watch this video made by Revote2017 and NAVO before you ever say that again

Our conference could be listed on the Supreme Court schedule as early as Monday, June 26 so keep checking here every day and let us know when you see it mentioned.

“Elon Musk Reveals Vision for a SpaceX City on Mars”: Newsweek Article and Video, with my Commentary

Posted on June 18, 2017 by ThinkWingRadio

The best case for an initial Lunar colony is to study the effects of persistent low gravity on biology. (Moon is about 1/6 Earth, Mars is a little over 1/3g)

After 50+ years in space, we only know the effects of micro-gravity (inaccurately called zero-g) concurrent with exercise, drugs, etc. Moon-G might be enough to stabilize body fluids in near-normal proportions, better-enable eating, digestion and waste elimination, and minimize bone loss, and possibly normalize procreation.

Basically, because we’ve never spent any substantial time in any sort of low-G environment, this is one of the biggest scientific blind spots regarding human colonization of other planetary bodies.

Current ideas on physical degradation of colonists and physiological limitations resulting in progeny are all just informed theory and speculation. Without a Lunar low-G long-term test lab, everything we believe might as well be science fiction.

~ Mike Honig, 18-June-2017

Elon Musk Reveals Vision for a SpaceX City on Mars

By Hannah Osborne On 6/15/17 at 8:17 AM [NEWSWEEK]

Elon Musk has revealed his vision for what a SpaceX city on Mars would look like, saying he wants people to believe setting up a colony on the Red Planet will be possible within our lifetimes.

The founder of SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation) has discussed the possibility of creating a human settlement on Mars for several years. The company is currently planning to send a robotic mission to Mars by 2024, and says that manned missions could begin as early as 2024—long before NASA’s projected timescale of the early 2030s.

In a commentary piece published in the journal New Space, Musk outlines how he plans to build a city on the planet and what the next steps in space exploration could be.

From ReVote2017.net: “PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS IS DOCKETED AT THE SUPREME COURT, HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP MOVE IT ALONG”

Posted on June 9, 2017 by ThinkWingRadio

Additional References (Found at SCOTUS Docket Search):

Docket for 16-1464
Title: In Re Renee Bailey, et al., Petitioners v.
No. 16-1464 In Re Renee Bailey, et al., Petitioners Petition for a writ of mandamus filed. (Response due July 7, 2017)

________________________________________________________________

Hi All,

It is my utmost privilege and delight to share the news with you that yesterday we learned that our petition to the United States Supreme Court made the first cut, and received Docket Number 16-1464! 30% of all petitions submitted get rejected for various technical and other reasons so this is a big step forward. What is next? Well YOU are. While it is never appropriate or effective to write to the Justices directly, they are American citizens, living in the same world we are, and they pay attention to public opinion. Therefore if the American public stands up now and demands a new election, we will be heard and the Supreme Court will know that we will not accept the results of a stolen election and demand a new one. The Court can schedule a conference or a briefing for our case anytime they choose, especially when it is an emergency situation. So your Tweets, letters to the editor and sharing of our case on Facebook will make a huge difference in how fast we proceed with this case.

For those of you on this email, especially the Constitutional Lawyers, Political Science professors with PHDs, etc. if you still do not think a new election is likely or even possible, than I am sure you have not read Citizens’ Case for a New Election, masterfully crafted and filed by our lead attorney Mark Small, admitted to practice at the Supreme Court. By the way, Mr. Small is based in Indiana but he is the direct descendant of John Endicott and Ralph Waldo Emerson, both large American historical figures from Massachusetts, where ReVote2017 is headquartered.

The ReVote2017 has saved the actual document filed at the Supreme Court on Google Drive and added notes and annotations, always reviewed and approved by our attorney for accuracy and relevance. The goal is to help each and every one of you understand that the Citizens’ Case for a New Election is based on the Constitution as written, prior case law, and real common-sense. Please do not say again that our case is futile or a long-shot unless and until you have read it and thought about it. This is your democracy we are saving together!

Finally, we will be having a nationwide press conference on Monday at 2pm EDT featuring our attorney Mark Small and several of our 12 petitioners [plaintiffs], including a former Trump voter and a leader in the movement for rights for autistic and disabled Americans. We also feature an expert from the data science community who is an elections and voting expert to address the absurd claim that even though we all now know that Russia invaded our elections (which we have been telling you since November!), not one vote was changed.

By the way, two of our petitioners are military veterans and 4 of our petitioners have disabilities, 3 of which came directly from military service or because of working in a company that did not take care of its toxic waste problem. We also have activists from Detroit, the LGBT movement and descendants of Holocaust survivors. In short, we have a strong slate of petitioners who represent Americans from all walks of life, including the swing states of MI, WI, PA, OH and FL, which got swung by the Russians and their confederates in the GOP.

We encourage and welcome discussion, debate and even skepticism about our quest for a new election. But please read the Citizens’ Case for a New Election. It is only 38 pages total!

Have a great weekend and get in touch with any questions or media opportunities.

Regards,

Kirstin Elaine Martin, www.revote2017.net

- Wetlands are advantageous to the environment as they help maintain our water quality, recharge aquifers, reduce flood damage from storms, sustain many habitats for a variety plants and animals such as migratory birds, and are vital to the economy as they are popular tourist attractions as well as part of the fishing industry.
- Unfortunately, wetland acreage has been decreasing significantly because of human development.
  - Texas has lost over half of its wetlands since European settlement of the area equivalent to seven million acres.
  - Therefore, the group would like to raise awareness to protect this habitat.
  - They participated in Marsh Mania last month through the Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) and helped plant over 6000 stalks of smooth cordgrass in Dickinson, Texas. The GBF has preserved, protected, and restored over 16,500 acres of wetland habitat since its founding in 1987.
  - More stats:
    - The Galveston Bay watershed has lost more than 30,000 acres of freshwater and saltwater wetlands between 1953 and 1989.
    - An additional 365 acres of saltwater wetlands and 13,538 acres of freshwater wetlands have been lost to development in a 15 year period (1996-2010) which totals 13% of all wetlands.
  - Marsh Mania began in 1999 and has involved more than 7,700 community volunteers who have restored over 207 acres of vital salt marsh habitat at 89 sites around Galveston Bay.
    - Smooth cordgrasses are planted to prevent the weathering and erosion of sediment along the shores of wetlands and create needed habitats for organisms such as migratory birds.

We will do all of them—we will do more of them, we will do them better; and, most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything.”

“But, my friends, these evaders are banking too heavily on the shortness of our memories. No one will forget that they had their golden opportunity—twelve long years of it.

“Remember, too, that the first essential of doing a job well is to want to see the job done. Make no mistake about this: The Republican leadership today is not against the way we have done the job. The Republican leadership is against the job’s being done.” ~ Franklin D. Rooselvelt, Address at the Democratic State Convention, Syracuse, N.Y. (September 29, 1936) See Video excerpt here.

`[These children] are Man’s,’ said the Spirit, looking down upon them. `And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it.’ cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. `Slander those who tell it ye. Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse. And abide the end.’

“Xpress witih Dr. X” on KAMU-FM in College Station, TX: I make a 35 minute ‘guest appearance’, April 25, 2017

Posted on April 26, 2017 by ThinkWingRadio

Last Tuesday (April 25, 2017) at about 8 PM CT, I was driving up to Bryan-College Station for some business and happened to hear the beginning of the show “Xpress with Dr. X, M.D” Radio show` on KAMU-FM, a service of Texas A&M University. I’m not often moved to call in to radio shows, but he started with stories about some email problems he recently had and then got into Trump, so you know I had to call. They picked up my line as I was around the corner from my destination, so I had to stop. I’m usually the radio host these days, so calling in is a different kind of fun for me.

The pick up my call at the 20:40 mark, but you might want to start about 5-10 minutes before that so you can hear his email story and get some context.

Apr 25, 2017 Xpress with Dr. X, M.D. 303nd Program – Ethics of using social media to publicly attach people and financial implications of doing so. The ethics of Medical Errors are the number 3 cause of U.S. deaths, Ethics of marrying an Amnesiac.

My “interview” begins at 20:40

HOUSTON ELECTIONS — AGAIN: “Reintroducing recapture”, by Charles Kuffner

Reintroducing recapture

by Charles Kuffner. Apr 2nd, 2017 (http://offthekuff.com/wp/?p=79832)

The tune has changed, and it’s time we make sure everyone knows it.

It felt like déjà vu to many of the 150 people who packed into Tinsley Elementary School’s auditorium Wednesday evening.

Facing another controversial Houston ISD school finance referendum, speakers debated two unfavorable options, both of which will cost the school district millions of dollars.

Wednesday’s forum served as the latest update in a school finance saga that has pitted Houston ISD against the state after 62 percent of local residents voted in November against paying the state millions in so-called recapture fees.

Board President Wanda Adams, who hosted the town hall, thanked those present for voting against recapture in November. But she asked them to vote in favor of writing a recapture check. “Because of your no vote, you actually won. We were the first district ever to tell the state no, the first to say we will not write a check until you fund public education,” Adams said.

The Houston ISD Board of Education voted in February to hold a second referendum on the issue May 6 after the state lessened the amount HISD would pay in recapture fee and threatened to “detach” commercial properties.

Glenn Reed, general manager of HISD’s Budgeting and Financial Planning, said this referendum is different than the one that appeared in on the November ballot.

“This is not a vote on recapture; it’s a vote on how you want us to pay it,” Reed said. ~ “HISD offers explanation of new ‘recapture’ referendum”, By Shelby Webb [Chron.com]

March 29, 2017

Well, to be exact, the November referendum was about how to pay for recapture, too. Adams is right that we got what we wanted out of that No vote. As you know, I believe we should accept that victory and vote Yes this time around. Early voting begins April 24, which is just over three weeks from now. We’re not used to voting in May in Houston – we have primary runoffs in May, but that’s different. There’s no turnout model for this, we’re all just going to be guessing. Those guesses are going to be on the low end, it’s just a matter of how low. HISD is going to have to convince some people to show up for them if they want to win again.
