For Release on April 1st, 2000 Contact: Gregory Stuart Gordon (212) 397-1662 Internet Election to Determine Fate of DC Independence Day, could take on a whole new meaning if Gregory Gordon has his way. Gregory has recently been in negotiations with VoteHere.com to hold elections to determine if the city of Washington DC should abandon its ties with the rest of the United States. The issue of Washington's status in the United States has come to a boil with that city's lack of representation in Clinton's Impeachment and with Congresses refusal to allow the counting of the votes from Washington's November, 1998 medical marijuana initiative. This refusal to count votes was the first ever in a legally held election in United States history. Gregory chose to deal with VoteHere.net over Votation.com which held the 2000 Arizona democratic primary as VoteHere.net has held over a dozen Internet elections already and is dedicated to the poll model of balloting, wherein computers are used not from the home, but rather from polling sites much as in a regular election. "I feel that this is the best model for voting in DC in order to take into account the digital divide between blacks and whites which could adversely affect this election," says Gregory. The issue on the ballot is whether or not the citizens of DC would rather ratify Greg's July fourth 1997 Proclamation of Interdependence and have Greg serve as their king in a Constitutional Monarchy as they have in England, or stay in a democracy which denies them their democratic rights. Gregory claims to be the Second Coming of Christ and believes that Ronald Reagan was, is and will always be remembered as the antichrist. July fourth 2000 marked the tenth anniversary of the day in which Greg broke into Reagan's Belair estate in a mock assassination attempt for which he served three years in prison. As if this isn't crazy enough Reagan's estate was at 666 St. Cloud Rd. 666 is the number of the Beast of Revelation chapter 13. According to Greg, "I realize that this all sounds so weird but, I am also aware that every new and potentially beneficial idea has at first sounded weird to the people of that time period. I am only encouraged by what Jesus said as quoted in Matthew. He said that the punishment for calling someone a fool is greater than that for murder. All of the ideas that sounded ridiculous at first to outsider's someday become reality." Although Greg has an extensive history of mental hospitalizations he may not be all that crazy after all. His plan may work if he can raise the 50 to 100 thousand dollars to hold a successful Internet election and get the citizens of DC to rekindle their dislike of Reagan. Washington DC and Massachusetts are the only entities that never voted for Reagan to be president. |
