20. I talked to GoDaddy...and they can transfer control to the REAL Steve Dawes with certain conditions

View profile
I have talked to a GoDaddy representative, and they said that in cases where the obvious attempt of a website is to deflect search engine results of legitimate search requests, they can remove ownership of the domain and either make the site dormant, or transfer ownership of the site to the real owner (in this case Steve Dawes). But they have to get the request from Dawes himself. All he has to do to provide proof is to show them the offending site, as well as the posts at other sites that are intended to manipulate the search results.

Actually, this happens more routinely than most people. While it's ok to have opposition sites up, it's NOT ok to manipulate legitimate search requests so that your site comes up. This is ESPECIALLY true for republican scum sites who try to hijack legitimate, progressive sites like Dawes.'

Hopefully, Steve's campaign manager will be able to make the arrangements. This is crucial, because though Steve will most probably win Ward 1 handily, the way the wingnuts are trying to obviously usurp this election through digital terrorism is not only juvenile and sophomoric, but a complete bastardization of the progressive democratic process.

Google-bombing is impossible, Ban.  Just ask them.  They said so.

ETA: According to Alexa, www.electstevedawes.com has no data and isn't even ranked in the top 100K websites.

Whoopsie.

What? Hey, Ban...GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!

This is what Steve WANTS!! I thought you were PROUD of his platform of socialist values, eloquently written on http://www.electstevedawes.com!

I thought you WANTED to SHOUT OUT about how wonderful unions are and how anti-capitalist OS is, as competently presented on http://www.electstevedawes.com!

I thought you WANTED to basically promote socialism and the "progressive democratic agenda," whatever the hell THAT means. I mean, http://www.electstevedawes.com spells it out completely!

But you are trying to undermine Steve's platform. What's next, are you gonna shill for Santorum to endorse Steveie boy? Yeah, that's the ticket. Maybe Rick can take some time off from his other distracting matter and write an ringing endorsement on http://www.electstevedawes.com for Steve.

What a moron. At least we have competent people like Steve Dawes running for City Council, as http://www.electstevedawes.com so eloquently puts out.

Just organize and march in front of their political HQ. Make sure every campaign worker KNOWS that we KNOW they are there to support a repressive republicanist, and that passers-by understand the repressive, undemocratic issues that the candidate we are marching on would carry out if elected. Usually, it cuts down their volunteer staff in half. We have won many close elections here in the LA area using such strategies.

But that would mean he never really contacted GoDaddy.com and tried to have http://www.electstevedawes.com shut down.

That would mean the real DUmmies are lulled into a false sense of security thinking something would happen when it wouldn't.

That means BTG would be the most ingenious mole ever in the history of ever: he stirs up the truly insanetics while safeguarding conservative websites.

Yeah, people should be a little cautious with their language, lest it damage the big guy's credibility.

That is not a "parody site."

The site is wholly the creation of Steve Dawes, accurately quoting words he actually spoke (or wrote, rather).

I think the friends of the big guy did a masterful work, putting that together while the candidate dithered around doing it himself.

And sadly, his friends probably did a better job than he himself could.

www.electstevedawes.com

franksolich had counseled his fellow Nebraskan that it was important he get his platform, his plank, his campaign promises, up as quickly as possible, so as to attract donations.

But n-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o, apparently he thought all he had to do was solicit donations without saying anything else.

Or maybe subconsciously he was laying around hoping someone else to do the work for him.

Perhaps the big guy hasn't noticed yet that the counsel of franksolich and the counsel of professional Democrats is exactly the same counsel.  If the big guy doesn't trust his professional fellow Democrats, it'd be a good idea if he trusted his fellow Nebraskan instead.

Well, maybe the campaign manager can inform his brilliant web designer to offer this bumper sticker for free on http://www.electstevedawes.com. Heck, maybe he can go even farther and use the bumper sticker as a header image for the site! That would be totally awesome, as then Steve's constituents can just download the HEADER and then duct-tape to their Reince Prius cars. Better yet, http://www.electstevedawes.com can go to Cafe Press or something and set up an account so people can purchase merchandise to help out his campaign! I'm sure that if Steve's campaign manager would do such a thing, there would be a WHOLE BUNCH of different bumper stickers and campaign posters that his supports will create FOR FREE, and EVERY ONE of them would prominently display http://www.electstevedawes.com!

The laws that BTG is referring to involve domain squatting, or trademark infringement - where someone buys a domain with the intent of holding it hostage until the interested party pays a fortune to take it over.

For example -

Let's say Microsoft accidentally forgets to renew their domain name, and someone else buys it up, then uses it to host pornography until Microsoft agrees to pay a hefty ransom to the new owner. - Thats domain squatting.

The other case is trademark confusion - for example - Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs gives up that gig and decides he wants to enter the software publishing business, and he buys the domain name MikeRoweSoft.com - Microsoft may have a case if it can be determined that MikeRoweSoft.com is too similar to their trademarked Microsoft.com  

So - which case applies to www.electstevedawes.com ?

The answer is neither. http://www.electstevedawes.com is not trying to bribe the candidate Steve Dawes.

And one cannot trademark a person's name, unless that name is 'distinctive'. ( http://www.wipo.int/sme/en/faq/tm_faqs_q4.html ) - Doing a Facebook search for 'Steve Dawes' brings up dozens of results, so that avenue is closed.

Hm-m-m...

To Whom It May Concern,

In the fair city of Bellevue, Nebraska, resides a Mr. Steve Dawes. Currently, Mr. Dawes is running for the seat of City Council, Ward 1. Mr. Dawes is a longtime union activist and is dedicated to progressive causes so much so he has been published at Marxist websites. Mr. Dawes has shared his experiences over the years with his political confederates at the notorious website democraticunderground.com (DU) where Mr. Dawes posts under the username Omaha Steve.

This is known because the antics of DU cannot be overlooked anymore than one could overlook a wrecked circus train whose animals are escaping and running amok. For the purpose of capturing and preserving the imagery of this spectacle there are those who collect and archive the more ardent posts that make DU what it is. As the years have gone by personalities such as Mr. Dawes have risen to prominence. When Mr. Dawes announced his candidacy it was met with much excitement at DU and those sites wherein DU is viewed for entertainment.

As was surmised, Mr. Dawes has chosen not to share his Marxist views with the constituents he would presume to govern. To remedy this obfuscation, or if you prefer: oversight, a website was established to put on display Mr. Dawes’ political history and ruminations. The site is http://www.electstevedawes.com and it is wholly without personal commentary except Mr. Dawes in his own words, at length and unedited. For the truly skeptical screen captures of Mr. Dawes’ posting history at DU are provided for corroboration.

Overtime, DU has become aware that it is being watched, as one might watch in fascination burlesque starring two-headed, three-legged dancers. Once DU caught wind of the website several of Mr. Dawes most strident supporters became furious that the activism that endeared Mr. Dawes to their hearts was now available for survey by the proles. Among their own they consider his words glorious; outside their tightly moderated hive a show of those exact same words is deemed “thuggery.”

Now, certain elements at DU want to bring pressure to bear against domain registrar GoDaddy.com with the expressed intent of seizing the site from the rightful, paying owner and giving it to Mr. Dawes to dispose of as he pleases. GoDaddy.com recently took a political and market bruising when it endorsed the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) so it would be reasonable to be concerned that GoDaddy.com might yield to histrionics when calm would better serve their purposes. If this fear is borne-out only a firm and steady counter pressure will right the situation.

Those seeking to affect this seizure of rightful, lawful and ethically employed property readily admit to standing outside Republican campaign offices with the intent to harass and intimidate workers.

If Godaddy.com maintains any pretense of brokering ownership services for what remains of its client base it could provide no greater an example than to set aside cat-calls from those who seek to silence voices that disagree with them and not concern itself with a site whose stated purpose is to promote a political candidate’s own words. Certainly a renewed controversy concerning potential censorship would reflect poorly for a service that relies on broadening free speech across the World Wide Web.

We trust GoDaddy.com will act, if not lawfully and ethically, at least in its own best interests.

When Mr. Dawes announced his candidacy it was met with much excitement at DU and those sites wherein DU is viewed for entertainment.

As was surmised, Mr. Dawes has chosen not to share his Marxist views with the constituents he would presume to govern. To remedy this obfuscation, or if you prefer: oversight, a website was established to put on display Mr. Dawes’ political history and ruminations. The site is http://www.electstevedawes.com and it is wholly without personal commentary except Mr. Dawes in his own words, at length and unedited. For the truly skeptical screen captures of Mr. Dawes’ posting history at DU are provided for corroboration.

Overtime, DU has become aware that it is being watched, as one might watch in fascination burlesque starring two-headed, three-legged dancers. Once DU caught wind of the website several of Mr. Dawes most strident supporters became furious that the activism that endeared Mr. Dawes to their hearts was now available for survey by the proles. Among their own they consider his words glorious; outside their tightly moderated hive a show of those exact same words is deemed “thuggery.”

Now, certain elements at DU want to bring pressure to bear against domain registrar GoDaddy.com with the expressed intent of seizing the site from the rightful, paying owner and giving it to Mr. Dawes to dispose of as he pleases. GoDaddy.com recently took a political and market bruising when it endorsed the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) so it would be reasonable to be concerned that GoDaddy.com might yield to histrionics when calm would better serve their purposes. If this fear is borne-out only a firm and steady counter pressure will right the situation.

Those seeking to affect this seizure of rightful, lawful and ethically employed property readily admit to standing outside Republican campaign offices with the intent to harass and intimidate workers.

If Godaddy.com maintains any pretense of brokering ownership services for what remains of its client base it could provide no greater an example than to set aside cat-calls from those who seek to silence voices that disagree with them and not concern itself with a site whose stated purpose is to promote a political candidate’s own words. Certainly a renewed controversy concerning potential censorship would reflect poorly for a service that relies on broadening free speech across the World Wide Web.

We trust GoDaddy.com will act, if not lawfully and ethically, at least in its own best interests.

The question is why would Socialist Steve want to direct traffic away from www.electstevedawes.com ?  It's the best site I've seen to document his political viewpoints over the years.  If he wants to win this election, he needs to embrace his socialist political foundation, and the www.electstevedawes.com does just that.  The website is definately a benefit to him, accurately portraying just who he is and how he will vote on behalf of those he would desire to represent.

I highly recommend www.electstevedawes.com .

He, of all those site idiots, should appreciate Steve's position points on http://www.electstevedawes.com . Indeed, Steve probably got the impetus from Ban to run for office in the first place. After all, Ban says the vast majority of citizens are progressive; why else run waddle for office?

I'm pretty sure that the cops would be more then happy to help them out with the investigation. Interesting that anyone over there would risk linking their own computers to those kinds of sites knowing that the police are always looking for whoever goes there and then tracks them back .

For some reason, on the bottom it no longer says "designed by Charlene;" in fact, it doesn't say a thing about who's designing it.

And on the bottom again, it no longer says "Paid for by Friends of Steve Dawes."

It says "Paid for by Steve Dawes for City Council."

This is the big guy's first site www.stevedawes2012.com, the one he made up.

The good one, put out by friends of Steve Dawes, is www.electstevedawes.com

Maybe www.electstevedawes.com could be his superPAC.

They continually say on the news that a candidate cannot coordinate or communicate campaign strategy with a superPAC that operates for his benefit.

God knows Socialist Steve isn't communicating campaign strategy with www.electstevedawes.com , because he has no apparent strategy beyond saying, "Hi, I'm Steve, please donate."

So it seems like a perfect situation for a superPAC.

By the way, when is that big Socialist Steve surprise supposed to hit the political world?

I'm sure we'll hear all about it on www.electstevedawes.com .

Nadin? Steve is rather desperate. With her history of making stuff up and claiming its news, Steve is just asking for trouble. Never using sources, unable to work a spell checker, Nadin is just election gold. (I can just see the Press releases where no one can figure out what they just read)

With that in mind, I think we should encourage the cub reporter to fly to Bellevue and start reporting. And Nadin, Bring the big rig! Steve has too many photos where he's wearing wrinkled too tight t-shirts. He needs some decent shots where he gives the appearance of working. That and it IS girl's Basketball season...
