Recently AIM interviewed Gigi Gaston, director of the documentary film, “We Will Not Be Silenced.” The film documents voter intimidation and corruption by forces working for then-candidate Barack Obama at Democratic precinct caucuses and state conventions during the 2008 Presidential primary. The filmmaker is surprising in that she is a lifelong Democrat, whose grandfather was the mayor of Boston and later the governor of Massachusetts, and she is a Hollywood screenwriter.
She says that after receiving a call from a former congressional investigator, she went to Texas to look into charges of voter irregularities in the Democratic caucus process to choose their presidential nominee. It was down to Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. What she found, as described on the website for the film, was “falsified delegate counts, falsified documents, and other violations” And she describes the “disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign,” and said that the “infamous campaign of ‘change’ from Chicago encouraged and created an army to steal caucus packets, falsify documents, change results, allow unregistered people to vote, scare and intimidate Hillary supporters, stop them, threaten them, lock them out of their polling places, silence their voices, and stop their right to vote.”
Through interviews with people with a first-hand knowledge of what was going on, including civil rights activist Helene Latimer, a very disturbing picture formed of what the Obama campaign was up to in order to “win” the nomination. Attorney Gloria Allred is shown calling for the elimination of the caucuses.
Ms. Gaston described how the Clinton campaign attempted to bring evidence of some of these irregularities to the attention of the media, but they were largely ignored.
You can listen to the full interview, or read the transcript here.
Here are some additional quotes from the interview.
“In Sioux City, Iowa, alone, out of a caucus where a hundred people caucused for Obama, 40 people had the same address. Different things like that I saw, but the people are really the things that made me realize what was going on was far more serious than what I’d gone down to do, which was basically to prove everyone wrong. And I was even more startled that when you actually tried to say something about it, and let people know, especially the press in this country—I think not only is our voting in great jeopardy here, but I think the press is.”
“…if you had an Obama sticker on, they didn’t check ID, they just waved you into the room to stand on the side of Obama. That happened constantly. A lot of people weren’t even from that precinct, in that area. If I want to caucus, and, say I’m in Venice, California, or Santa Monica, California, I can’t go to Malibu and caucus also. There were a lot of repeats, of people going all over. Bussing in was the worst part. I don’t know if you saw, in the documentary, where all these parents didn’t know where their kids had been taken, and they’d been taken across from Illinois into Indiana, and caucused, bought dinner, and returned. It’s not legal to pay someone to vote for you.”
“I haven’t left the [Democrat] party yet, because I’m in to try to see if this is one last shot, that they could totally be heroic, unite the party, and address this. I know it’s a crazy hoop-dream, but I haven’t left the party yet. I definitely don’t believe in what—the great gifts we were given as people that came to this country. I don’t believe that it’s still there. I really am concerned about our voting. I really don’t feel we’re going to have—that our votes are ever going to be represented again if we, as people, don’t go, ‘Hey! You guys have to address this!’”

25 Comments for Serious Questions Raised About Obama Tactics in 2008 Election
I remember during the primary season in 2008 hearing about some of this happening then, and nothing was done about it then – I just thought “It’s the way the Socialist party does business” – but usually that’s how they do their dirty work against Republicans, not each other. Just wait until the general elections of 2010 and 2012, there will be very many “close” elections, with recounts going to the Dems. It’s what happened in Minn. with the Senate election and Washington with (I think) the Reps. election – both close and recounts to Dems, and no investigation into cheating, but rumors of bags of not-yet-counted votes that were suddenly found. On the other hand, we still hear to this day how W. stole the vote in Fla. in 2000.
There is a quote. “I havn’t left the Democractic Part yet” what else do you need.

Not surprising for the fraud in chief. He’s al fraud, liar and racist. Time to impeach Obama.

And the best of British luck to you on that,whomever you are.
So, is this “change”? No, it’s the Chicago Machine criminality that Obummer went to Chicago to master.
Disgusting. If we’re lucky, the court case about he never changing his Indonesian citizenship (from his step father) and LYING about his name being “Obama” instead of what his Indonesian citizenship had (Soetero), we can get rid of him.
Of course, we’d then have Dummy-Biden and Pelosi, which is his insurance policy.
Shocking. Just shocking.
That the Clintons, Arkansas Mafia masters, would be out-thugged by the “clean, well-spoken” fella from Chi-town.
Watch your back, Barry. Payback, we know all about it don’t we?
Obama continues to Cover-up the False Flag event of 9/11. People need to wake up and AT LEAST look at the hard core evidence that explosives were planted in the Twin Towers. Look at the proof the FBI could not debunk.
The consequences are a phony war on Islam used to strip Americans of their Civil Liberties and 1st Amendment.

Obama is a detestable man, but of course he isnt talking about any false flag event of 9/11, because it never happened.
Get a life you truther wingnut.
Socialists and PaleoConservatives really suck…
The Republican’s have been putting up with this BS for years. It is about time the Dems get some pay back.
Chicago/Mass.Kennedy – meet Arkansas Mafia.
Competing branches of Marxist Stalinism.
All unConstitutional – dens of thieves and not worthy of our respect or our acknowledgement of any credible claims they have on the Public Offices they have squatted in. They haven’t merely breached the Public Trust, they’ve trampled the concepts into the dust and obliterated any evidence that such is a realistic aspiration. May they receive BACK a thousand fold Harvest on their own personal heads of Seed in Kind. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
What a complete FREAK Present Bow Wow continues to be! Remember November will soon be a slogan for the country! The Congressman from California will be able to complete the findings on the illegal activities of this Polished Chicago Thug Administration. The rats will start to scatter, and Obambi will be left holding the cheese, of course, in the trap. 
This fraud needs to be uncovered, given the light of day, and anyone voted in by fraud, should be removefd from office, immediately, if not sooner, for the sake of America!
I think for the general election this year, Tea Party Patriots
should ALL work as observers at every polling place in the nation
and also take self-protection courses to combat the Seiu Aclu, and
all the union thugs, acorn thugs, and any black panther thug, and
be prepared for any and all violence these slugs want to bring to
the polling places. Americans have become too complacent about
their voting rights and that needs to change. Show these thugs that
REALLY TRUE AMERICANS ARE NOT INTIMIDATED.
With the lame stream media on his side. Obozo was a sure thing since they ran cover for him and his crooked minions. No surprise at all.
I think that Pubs should be very watchful in all 50 states on voter motor votes. Check out every Dem registrar of voters and make sure all votes are counted in all 435 House districes and 1/3 of the US Senate races. Do not be so sure they , Dems, won’t cheat in state and guv races either. They have a history of cheating and Pubs better not be nice guys on this. I suggest Pub lawyers be at as many polling areas as possible. ILL, will be a key state as will Mich., Ca., and other Blue states where ‘they can’t win unless they cheat’ and doubly so in Red States where they should not win with real counts. And by all means force the DOJ to make sure all, ALL military votes are counted. They tend not to be Dem and the Dems know it.
Gigi Gaston certainly sounds like a credible witness. A lifelong Democrat, heir to a man who was Mayor of Boston, Mass., and then became governor of the state that gave us Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry. If her pedigree was any bluer, she’d be a Smurf!
@NEANDERTHAL – I agree with the sentiment. HRM Hilary can do away with the pesky election (of herself) if only she can get the Pres, VP, House Speaker Pelosi, and it’s actually president pro tem of Senate Inouye (not majority leader Reid) on an airplane together and do one the Clintonista gang tricks (you know, the airplane runs into the side of a mountain or whatever), and Secretary of State is 5th in line and she’s all set. It seems to be the most favored way for them to eliminate their competition, it happened a few times in the 1990′s, and probably in Arkansas before then.
I wanted to double check I had the Line of Succession correct and it is:
oops that link didn’t come out correctly – here it is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession
To David Hall #17,, I’ll bet you a Giant NYC pizza that Hillary will get the ‘nod’ if something happens to Joe ‘open mouth,insert foot,close mouth’
Biden,between now & Nov.of 2012,,illness,,scandal,,whatever.THEN the dirty side of the “Billary” team will rear it’s ugly head and something “Unexpect
ed & Sudden” will mysteriously happen to Obozo. Any bets??
To Glen Koons # 15 ROGER THAT !!! The ‘cheaters’will come out of the woodwork like cockroaches so the dems, can “Win”. You said it,we must be
ever vigilant,,or they will make our bad situation of “Now”,into a worse one of “Then”.
To Lois # 13,,, Absolutely!!! Take your camera,,whatever kind, & photo anything or anybody that looks like they do NOT belong near a voting booth.
It is Illegal to be within 100 feet of the entrance ,,’cause that is considered “Electioneering” In Most places, there is usually a Cop inside the polling place,,so do not be afraid to call them,,OK??,,because THEY know that if they got away with it in ’08,,they try it again,only in larger #’s all over in places they think they can get away with it.
Remember,,,Primary day,,,then Election Day. If you don’t VOTE,DON’T WHINE!!
NOT RACIST,,,NOT VIOLENT,,,just NOT SILENT!!!
Don’t you guys get it yet, this administration is going to do anything it feels like doing and no one is going to stop them. This is without a doubt the most lawless,corrupt,unethical group of politicians I have seen occupying the White House. The complicity of the Media involving the Obama crimes is staggering in its scope. Combine that with an ignorant electorate and you get what you got.

Typical Chicago thug tactic. B Ho can’t win unless he robs,cheats and steals. I for one will be working the polls as a watcher. PLEASE, PLEASE try something at my poll. I’m loaded locked and ready to ROCK!. Bring it on B HO. I grew up in Chicago and can roll with the best of it’s punks.
Where was Ms. Gaston during the campaign when all this was going on? Did she vote for Obama in November? (Probably.) Probably the bulk of “disenfranchised” Democrats who had supported Hillary Clinton voted for Obama in 2008. Don’t feel sorry for them now.
“Law Enforcement” is the Great Enabler for all this sewage. Be sure to thank them appropriately for the OUTSTANDING job they have done for this country!
