My message to the DNC
Advertisements [?]
In response to a questionnaire from the DNC:

First of all the democratic party needs to involve itself heavily in the investigations into election irregularities and work to ensure that every state does away with these new evoting machines and optiscanners. You can't win an election where results are insecure.

The democratic party has GOT to make sure the disenfranchisements we witnessed in 2000 and 2004 stop! Otherwise every thing else it does is useless. You can't win if your base is too intimidated to vote no matter what else you change.

There are many of us at the grassroots level fighting the election problems and we've received virtually NO encouragement or help from the democratic party. If the democratic party is serious about winning elections it must, MUST get involved. If they choose not to many of us are going to start supporting the Greens if necessary to have a voice. I'm not just talking about a small number of fringe loonies, I'm talking about intelligent, educated people who have had enough of working hard for a candidate and watching the democrats roll over and play dead when voters are disenfranchised and voting machines switch votes to the republican candidate.

PLEASE HEAR THIS MESSAGE LOUD AND STRONG....we will NOT continue to fight for democratic candidates who can't be bothered to ensure our votes count.
