> Presidential Votes Miscast on E-Voting Machines Across the Country

5 November 2004, 21:53

I urge you and every American to watch Votergate (votergate.tv) and educate yourself to the REAL story in regards to electronic voting machines. This is real and happening now. It is absolutely Un-American to not investigate and take a non-partisan look at this new system at a time when clearly the country is sharply divided. There is nothing responsible as an American in your expose about Bush.

Unless he’s in your immediate family, why would you care so much about supporting him over all Americans and our rights under the Constitution of the United States? We are all allowed an EQUAL vote and I would think that all parties would want the legitmacy of that.

As it stands, the world has questioned Bush’s legitmacy since the end of the last election and now with allegations of voting manipulation that is now being investigated (and confirmed btw), his legitmacy may be in question for the remainder of his term in office. As an American, this is bad for us in regards to foreign policy as it undermines his credibility to the world especially after ignoring foreign policies that contribute to the safety, wealth, stability and growth of America and ultimately the world. It’s not one or the other here....we are all alive at this time on this planet. As the leader of the free world, we need to lead by example and unfortunately, his examples of got-it-alone foreign policy has created more questions of his credibility, not less. These are not intangibles; these are the facts today and they are not helping anyone.

Read, think, educate yourself to international relations, history, political science. Understand the most successful leaders and what is the standard for diplomatic and foreign relations. It is essential that our President have the legitmacy of America and the rest of the world. Our country is too divided for this right now and our foreign allies and acquaintances see his actions as aggression against a people that were not a threat to our safety. Period. Real. Facts. That’s the scoop. Please open your intellect to include what is really happening in the world not what Fox News or other segmented news stations will spin and report. Read it all and in a non partisan way...as an American, not a Bush Republican but a heartfelt American. Decide to be an American for the world instead of a Bush Republican against the world. Other than terrorists, there are a lot of wonderful allies out there waiting to support America to make us all safer. Without their assistance, it can never be.
