– 1. We need to add a push for mandated hand-counted paper ballots with multiple witnesses at every stage of the counting within the state, and public reporting of the final state-level numbers by the group of witnesses who are present at the state-level tabulation, in a joint statement, out in the open in a public place.

1 commentThis Saturday there will be a huge rally to Demain a Recount and investigation into the Ohio voting problems. This is not about bush vs kerry, this is about American citizens being given equal access to vote. If we don’t demand Blackwell remove himself from the process and allow a full recount to proceed, then American democracy will be officially dead. You were given a democracy- are you going to let them just take it like this? Do you really think we’ll have a better shot in 2008? Wake (...)

Iconic images inspire love and hate, and so it is with the photograph of James Blake Miller, the 20-year-old Marine from Appalachia who has been christened "the face of Falluja" by prowar pundits and "The Marlboro Man" by pretty much everyone else. Reprinted in more than a hundred newspapers, the Los Angeles Times photograph shows Miller "after more than twelve hours of nearly nonstop deadly combat" in Falluja, his face coated in war paint, a bloody scratch on his nose, (...) -

Before the election and now after it, I take hope and encouragement from the great energy and activism on our side. I cannot remember a national election (...) -
