28/11: Final Election Statement
On Tuesday November 25, 2008 the Office of the Secretary of State of Alabama certified the election results from November 4. These results can be downloaded from http://sos.alabama.gov/Elections/2008/ElectionInfo2008.aspx
You have 3 options
1.Complete results with write-in appendix
2.Complete results without write-in appendix
3.write-in appendix only
The first thing you will notice is that you must comb through the write-in totals (listed in alphabetical order of Counties).
The chart below shows votes cast for Vivian Figures (752,391), Jeff Sessions (1,305,383), and write-ins (2417) included on the list are “counted” write-ins (216), write-ins that were counted for me (14) and uncounted write-ins (2201).
In all, 50 of the 67 Counties didn't record who received a single write-in vote and of the 17 counties that did tabulate write-in votes only Henry County "counted" all write-ins (claiming 12 of the 13 write-in votes were blank).
I will appeal to the Secretary of State to have all Counties actually count write-ins. Not just for myself, but for everyone that took the time to use the power of the write-in vote. I will also appeal to have Alabama adopt "write-in declaration" so that election officials know that someone intends to be a write-in candidate and intends to have votes counted for them. I encourage you to do the same.
Sincerely,
Darryl W. Perry
2008 Alabama Statesmen/Boston Tea Party nominee/write-in candidate for US Senate

05/11: Post-Election Statement
I would like to congratulate Senator Sessions on winning his 3rd term. He now joins the group of "lifer" politicians that no longer represent their honest, hard working constituents and instead represent the special interests that finance their campaigns. I will continue contacting Mr. Sessions in an attempt to "keep him in line" with the Constitution and smaller government.
I would like to thank everyone that supported, encouraged, endorsed & voted for me.
I just spoke with the Elections Division in the Secretary of State's Office. I was informed that Write-in votes will be tabulated and reported between Nov 22-25.
Sincerely,
Darryl W. Perry

Ms. Figures,

13/10: Senate Candidate endorses "Resolution to Denounce the $850 Billion Congressional Bailout Package"
For Immediate Release
Senate Candidate endorses "Resolution to Denounce the $850 Billion Congressional Bailout Package"
Darryl W. Perry has endorsed the Boston Tea Party's "Resolution to Denounce the $850 Billion Congressional Bailout Package", which in part reads:
Whereas, the United States Congress, consisting of the U.S. House of Representatives and the United States Senate, passed an $850 billion congressional bailout package
Whereas, the bailout will tack on an additional $112 billion to the current deficit over a period of five years because the legislation contains no provision to dramatically cut spending and tax levels, and
Whereas, the pork-barrel laced bill is laden with a gamut of tax breaks and subsidies to numerous tax-funded welfare recipients, including, but not limited to the following:
* Renewable energy credit
* Tax and energy credits for a variety of boondoggles such as small wind property, geothermal heating pump systems, biodiesel and renewable diesel, increases in and special rules for the coal excise tax, etc.
* Extensions of the alternative extension tax, new market credits, deductions for state and local sales taxes, etc.
* Mental health parity
* Indian employment credit
And
* Puerto Rican and Virgin Island rum producers, and
Whereas, the bailout has failed to rescue the entire financial services industry from financial doom, furthering the plummeting of the Dow Jones, the NASDAQ, and the entire stock market, then
Be it resolved that the Boston Tea National Committee denounces, opposes, and condemns the $850 billion bailout package, as it deepens the financial crisis on Wall Street and Main Street and fleeces the American taxpayers of their hard-earned money to bailout companies, a practice that can be easily called economic fascism (or corporate socialism), and
Calls for the reduction or elimination of income, withholding, and all other taxes on productivity and consumption and the burden on entrepreneurs,
Calls for an introduction of a way to compete with the Federal Reserve in the interim and the repeal of legal tender laws, which prohibit a competitive free market currency system,
Calls for all bills for raising revenue to originate in the House of Representatives, as the bailout bill that originated in the Senate calls for raising revenue and has changed the current tax code and regulations, and thus is unconstitutional,
Encourages the incremental move from the state capitalistic system comprising of a mixed (fascistic) economy to a laissez-faire (free market) capitalism, and
Reinforces the need for federal and state accountability on the corrupt, fraudulent, and rotten actions of the regulators, bureaucrats, and corporatists aligned with the banking, financial, and mortgage sectors, and thus
The Boston Tea National Committee repudiates the fascistic and socialist direction of the United States, the legislative actions of the Congress, and the executive actions and directives by the President of the United States, especially with respect to its support for the bailout and its support for subsidizing, coddling, protecting, and backing Wall Street, Main Street, and the financial services industry."
