Will K. With no intention of putting down your concern about this issue, you might as well know that this same thread has been floating around the Interent for the three years I've been on it. It's considered a hoax... Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: PARKINSN: Parkinson's Disease - Information Exchange Network on behalf of Will A. Kuipers Sent: Saturday, November 30, 1996 2:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Neo nazi group Possible second sending. The following may violate the charter of our group, because its subject has nothing to do with PD, but just as we are intent on keeping filthy language away, I think the following request for a vote is important to keep our wonderful medium clean of hate group poison. We command a strong position due to our large membership.Quick action is important: Folks, this is important. Please forward this to everyone you know: A group of NEO-NAZIS is trying to form a newsgroup on Usenet called "rec.music.white-power", so that they can get their message of hate out to young people using the Internet. Newsgroups are public discussions on the Internet and their formation requires enough support from the Internet community. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US HAS ONE VOTE when it comes to creating a new Usenet group. I hope you will vote NO and thereby tell these NAZIS we don't want their stuff on the net. Below is the procedure, please repost this plea and get the NO vote out. If you want to see the official call for votes, you can try on "news.group". DO NOT VOTE TWICE - that would constitute voting fraud. HOW TO VOTE: Send e-mail (posts to newsgroups are invalid) to: [log in to unmask] This is an impartial, third party vote taker. Please check the address before you mail your vote. Your mail message, to be accepted by the counting computer, must contain only the following statement with no signature: I vote NO on rec.music.white-power Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions may mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is counted. Here's what Canada's George Burdi, of the neo-Nazi Heritage Front, had to say about this vote, on February 21, on his SISTANCE mailing list: <There is a call for votes coming on rec.music.white-power in the <next week or so, and you will be notified in a special issue of <RREN exactly what to do. <FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER. <Let me be perfectly blunt and state that we have more than enough <neo-nazis to win this thing handsdown. But every one of you must <vote YES! And just voting yes means nothing unless you do it <properly. <So you have been forewarned. <The instructions are coming to your email box soon, and they are <not complicated. Just follow them as told, and we will have a WP <music newsgroup finally!" <***************************************************************** Please consider the request for a NO vote and ACT Will A.
