[VoteRescue] Mike Connell, dead at 45: A short bibliography

[Vickie Karp]

This man was at the center of an investigation and lawsuit in Ohio regarding
the theft of the 2004 election for George W. Bush.  He was apparently able
to implicate Karl Rove in that theft.  Read more about him in the only news
sources who report the real truth:  The alternative media:

   *Who was Mike Connell?
*
*Pokey Anderson*
*(KPFT Houston radio talk show host and investigative journalist)
December 20, 2008*

Investigative journalists online have been digging into the story of Mike
Connell for two years. Connell's largely unknown role in elections and
government technology infrastructure should be a top story of the year, yet
major media have ignored it.

Last night, a small plane crashed and burned near Akron, Ohio, reportedly
carrying only one person, Mike Connell.

Connell was close to Karl Rove, but Rove reportedly had threatened him of
late.  Connell's testimony re the Ohio 2004 election was being compelled in
an Ohio court.

Ohio election attorney Cliff Arnebeck sent a letter to US Attorney General
Mukasey, July 24, 2008:

Dear Attorney General Mukasey:
We have been confidentially informed by a source we believe to be credible
that Karl Rove has threatened Michael Connell, a principal witness we have
identified in our King Lincoln case in federal court in Columbus, Ohio, that
if he does not agree to "take the fall" for election fraud in Ohio, his wife
Heather will be prosecuted for supposed lobby law violations ...

Who was Mike Connell? Who was he connected to? What did he have to do with
the Ohio 2004 presidential election results? What about the US attorney
firings? Find out in the independent media.
