Nancy:

I'm forward your e-mail to Robert Park, Associate Dean for Computing.  It
was Robert's office that implemented the artsannounce at artslist website.

Hello Brenda, Alex and Anne,

I am getting overwhelmed with emails about so many announcements,
symposiums, conferences, news releases etc not only from UW depts but from
outside universities and agencies.  It is becoming quite time-consuming to
even scan all these messages.  Is there not another way to reduce all these
emails?  I don't have time to read all these or even pass them on and I'm
sure many others would agree.  Is there a way to streamline the volume of
all these announcements and emails?

Thanks
Nancy Birss

Hello Brenda Smith, Alexandra Lippert, and Anne Harris,

I'm sorry if I have the wrong person or people copied on this email; I am a
UW alum, and I now teach at WLU, and I have a public lecture to announce to
UW Arts Faculty. Hopefully, some or all of you are appropriate people for
this message.

Please find attached a flyer for a public lecture by Steven F. Freeman of
the University of Pennsylvania titled, "Subverting Democracy: Stolen
Elections in the American Empire."

Below is a description of Dr. Freeman and contact information for me. I hope
you will kindly forward this message to the Faculty of Arts at UW. Thank
you.

Michael Truscello, Ph.D. (UW 2005)

The Department of Communication Studies, with the co-sponsorship of the 
Department of Political Science and the Office of the Dean of Arts, is proud

to host Dr. Steven F. Freeman on Tuesday, September 18. Dr. Freeman will be 
presenting a talk, titled "Subverting Democracy: Stolen Elections in the 
American Empire," from 4pm to 6pm in Arts Wing 1E1.  Come hear the leading 
researcher into US electoral fraud discuss the evidence that the 2004 
presidential election was stolen and the evidence of Canadian complicity in 
electoral fraud in Iraq, Mexico and Haiti. Please forward the attached flyer

to anyone who may be interested.

Steven F. Freeman is Visiting Scholar and Affiliated Faculty in the Center 
for Organizational Dynamics, University of Pennsylvania. Since 1998, he has 
been Professor of Management at INCAE (Central American Institute of 
Business Administration), Alajuela, Costa Rica, an international MBA program

established by Harvard University. During 2002, he was Karel Steuer Chaired 
Professor in Entrepreneurship at Universidad de San Andreas, Buenos Aires, 
Argentina. He is co-author with Joel Bleifuss of Was The 2004 Presidential 
Election Stolen? Joel Bleifuss is the editor of In These Times, where he has

worked as an investigative reporter, columnist and editor since 1986. 
Bleifuss has had more stories on Project Censored's annual list of the "10 
Most Censored Stories" than any other journalist.

Freeman's research on the discrepancies between exit polls and vote counts 
has already earned him some high-profile speaking engagements, including:

"Are We a Democracy? Vote Counting in the United States." American 
Association for the Advancement of Science, San Francisco, Feb. 2007.

"The Failure to Report Evidence of Corrupted Vote Counts in US Elections." 
Free Press National Media Reform Conference, Memphis, January 2007.

"Black Disenfranchisement in Contemporary US Elections." Congressional Black

Caucus Annual Legislative Conference, Washington DC, Sept. 2006.

"Polling Bias or Corrupted Count?" American Statistical Association, 
Philadelphia, Oct. 2005.

Freeman was invited to the ASA conference in Philadelphia to debate with 
Warren Mitofsky, who is probably the most highly regarded practitioner of 
exit polling in the US (he did the 2004 US exit polls, and has done exit 
polling for presidential elections in the US for more than thirty years, as 
well as exit polls for national elections in Russia, Mexico, and half a 
dozen other countries); by common consent Freeman triumphed in that debate.
