  • Election System Changes, Mike Schiller : my letter to John Kerry
    13 January 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    Dear Senator Kerry,
    I recieved your email asking for people to call Dennis Hastert and Bill Frist about voting rights and the need for changes regarding the way elections are conducted, and applaud your efforts to advocate this important issue.
    I intend to call and write Senators once I have drawn up a proposal for actual legislation to address these issues. It won’t be immediate, but I will certainly be promoting the proposal to my email list as well as calling congress to ask (…)

  • Election reform movement? - We need to enforce our current law!
    12 January 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    I consider the two methods by which the republicans used to steal the 2004 election: 1) paperless electronic voting and 2) massive disenfranchisement of primarily African-American voters; to be two SEPARATE issues. Yes, they were combined to produce the same end, namely another Bus sElection; aside from this, they are fundamentally unrelated.
    Many democrats and DUers are calling for an Election Reform movement which will address both issues in ONE campaign. I VEHEMENTLY disagree that this (…)

  • Election Challenge: Dem vs. Repub arguments & facts

    The first two arguments in the Senate over the vote challenge highlight the arguments perfectly: while the Democrats have facts, all that the Republicans have is name calling. Didn’t we learn better than that...in Kindergarten? They call us conspiracy theorists insisting their was no evidence of manipulation, however had they done their homework and read Conyer’s report they would know better.
    From the Excecutive Summary of Conyer’s 102 page report (pdf) on Ohio:

    The Last Man To Concede...
    By Sheila Samples
    On November 3, just hours after Democratic vice-presidential hopeful John Edwards made a national announcement that he and John Kerry were not going to concede until all the votes were counted, Kerry grabbed the spotlight and conceded — before all the votes were counted.
    Kerry took the money and ran. Seems he couldn’t stick around because he and the missus were spending Christmas at a holiday extravaganza in Sun Valley as personal guests of (…)

    Election Crime Scene-2004 "We the People Do Not Concede"
    By Carol Sterritt
    John Kerry did not lose the electoral votes in Florida. They were stolen.
    Nor did he lose the electoral votes in Ohio. They were stolen as well.
    And with these two states being a rigged game, suspicions multiply. Suspicion falls especially hard upon the supposed three and a half million votes that Bush now claims as the popular vote margin.
    Across the nation, at least 400,000 people used voter hotlines to (…)

  • The January 7th Problem (News Article with Commentary)
    10 January 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    January 7th print and other media were quite subdued in regards to the historical significance of the electors challenge on January 6th, 2005. As this was the third time in U.S. history that such an electors challenge has ever taken place, I thought it would be interesting to see what happened after the second, over thirty five years ago. I went to the local library and printed a copy of the front page of our local paper dated Tuesday, January 7th, 1969. Low and behold on the front page was (…)

  • Grassroots Internet Activists Move Mountains to Expose Vote Fraud

    by Bob Fitrakis, Steve Rosenfeld and Harvey Wasserman
    Together, grassroots/Internet activists have just moved three major American mountains.
    On January 6, we forced an angry Republican-dominated Congress into an unprecedented confrontation with the Truth about Ohio’s stolen election, about dubious vote counts nationwide, and ultimately about an electoral process worthy of zero public trust.
    America’s progressive grassroots further showed it could prompt the "democratic wing" of the (…)

  • Bush insists Iraq Election will bring peace

    ... the elections could deepen the conflict by leading to greater alienation of the Sunni minority from the Shia and Kurds.
    Asked if he shared that view, Mr Bush replied: “Quite the opposite. I think elections will be such an incredibly hopeful experience for the Iraqi people.
    ... “I think we’re making great progress,” Mr Bush said, making no reference to the rapidly mounting death toll among US troops and Iraqi security forces.
    Reiterating what he has referred to before as his (…)

    By Alan Woods
    While the whole world mourns the fate of the thousands killed and made homeless by a natural disaster in Asia, a man-made disaster is continuing to spread death, destruction and misery in an ancient country on the banks of the Euphrates and Tigris.
    Bush, Blair, Rumsfeld and Powell shed crocodile tears over the victims of the tsunami and wring their hands in public. They send a few millions in “aid” to demonstrate their “humanitarianism”, but are spending tens of billions on (…)

  • Spineless Kerry should have embraced evidence of election fraud, supported protests
    8 January 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    John Kerry, like Al Gore before him, does not deserve the presidency of the United States.
    This is not because they are incompetent politicians. This is not because they lost their elections. No. It’s because despite winning, Gore and Kerry refused to claim what was rightfully theirs.
    Yesterday, Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio), along with a dozen other House members, formally objected to the choice of Ohio’s electors. There is ample evidence that this election was just as crooked as (…)
