John Diebold

I would like this page to be removed imediatly. John T. Diebold (whom this page is about) has no connection at all to the Diebold voting machienes. Our name has been slandered in relation to thes fuckers and we have no connection. They triend to prove a connection back in the 80's but my dad disproved them. He died last December and these sort of pages connecting him to the Diebold Voting machines just hurt our family.John Diebold 11.17.06 - 8:12 pm #

So, before you read any further and make connections to a company which bears the name Diebold and makes voting machines, remember that according to the commenter (on this silly little 20 hit a day blog) "John Diebold," John T. Diebold had nothing to do with this democracy stealing piece of crap company

Ok, that said, this John T. Diebold guy was fascinating. Very busy, and fascinating.
