Subject: Fascism: How to vote 'No' to r.m.w-p


To M*sm l*st readers who might have missed it first time.  

Read the following CFV, send it to your friends and comrades and make sure
they just say "NO".

And we might also have a little bit of a discussion in this l*st on this issue.

So long,

Luciano



>                     FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
>               unmoderated group rec.music.white-power

>Newsgroups line:
>rec.music.white-power	Lyrics, albums, performers, enjoyment of the genre.

>Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 18 Mar 1996.

>This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Please address any
>questions about the proposal to the proponent.

>Proponent: Milton John Kleim, Jr <bb748-AT-FreeNet.Carleton.CA>
>Votetaker: Michael Handler <handler-AT-sub-rosa.com>

>RATIONALE: rec.music.white-power

>There is no appropriate newsgroup for discussion of White Power music, a
>phenomenon which is international in scope.  Persons who have an interest
>in this genre of music have no appropriate venue on USENET in which to
>discuss this controversial topic.  Other rec.music groups' topics are too
>dissimilar, and many of their participants are in no way receptive of
>posts about this heated topic.  Some discussion of White Power music
>occurs on alt.skinheads and alt.politics.white-power, but is inappropriate
>there due to the former's mostly lifestyle-oriented matters, and the
>latter's largely political nature.  Rec.music.white-power will prevent the
>"intrusion" of fans into other, more vaguely-defined, newsgroups, where
>they will not be welcomed.  Discussions would necessarily be free and
>open, due to the topic's controversial nature.  This group should be
>unmoderated because a moderator could exercise undue control over one
>viewpoint's postings.

>CHARTER: rec.music.white-power

>All issues relating to the genre known as White Power music, since it's
>inception until the present, covering all languages and nationalities of
>performers, and all themes of pieces.

>Rec.music.white-power is an unmoderated newsgroup for the entertaining
>and enlightening discussion of revolutionary new forms of rock, country,
>and other sub-genres having racist/nationalist themes.  Both supporters
>and opponents will find the group educational and intriguing.

>Potential topics will relate to the origin, development, and
>dissemination of White Power music; to the artistic composition and
>performance of the music; and to the personal opinions and perceptions of
>those who enjoy particular bands and performers, and pieces.

>END CHARTER.

>HOW TO VOTE:

>Send E-MAIL (posts to a newsgroup are invalid) to:

>    music-vote-AT-sub-rosa.com

>Please do not assume that just replying to this message will work.
>Check the address before you mail your vote.  Your mail message
>should contain one and only one of the following vote statements:

>    I vote YES on rec.music.white-power

>votes for the total count.

>Standard Guidelines for voting apply.  One person, one vote.  Votes
>must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.  Anonymous,
>forwarded or proxy votes are not valid.  Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI
>forms are considered to be anonymous votes.

>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 registered correctly.  Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of
>the most recent valid vote.  Addresses and votes of all voters will
>be published in the final voting results post.

>The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of
>persons who would read a proposed newsgroup.  Soliciting votes from
>disinterested parties defeats this purpose.  Please do not distribute
>this CFV.  If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted
>to news.announce.newgroups.  Distributing pre-marked or otherwise
>edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.
>When in doubt, ask the votetaker.
