25. It CAN be done! We can have democracy here, too, in the U.S. of A.!
Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 11:56 AM by Peace Patriot
1. Think long term, like the South Americans have done. Priority #1: TRANSPARENT elections. We may not achieve it this year. We WILL, in the end. They cannot kill our democracy!

2. Pressure the Democratic Party to conduct INDEPENDENT exit polls. The corporate news monopoly exit polls cannot be trusted. They (Edison-Mitofsky) have promised never to let us see their REAL exit poll numbers again. And this is the LEAST the Democratic Party can do for us--independent exit polls--considering their failure to protect our right to vote, for whatever reasons of corruption, fear or insanity!

3. Monitor election officials and election results, gather evidence for challenges and for the case against non-transparent electronic voting. Raise hell with election officials about non-transparent systems. Investigate corruption. Throw them out of office.

4. This fraudulent election system CAN be defeated by an overwhelming turnout of voters determined to beat the fraud. But we must be honest with people, tell them the TRUTH, and involve them in overcoming the rigged machines. Bumper sticker: "HELP BEAT THE MACHINES! VOTE!"

Some resources:

www.votersunite.org (MythBreakers - easy primer on electronic voting--one of the myths is that HAVA requires electronic voting; it does not.)
www.verfiedvoting.org (great activist site)
www.UScountvotes.org (monitoring of '06 and '08 elections)
www.solarbus.org/election/index.shtml (fab compendium of all election info)
www.freepress.org (devoted to election reform)
www.bradblog.com (also great, and devoted to election reform)
www.TruthIsAll.net (analysis of the 2004 election)
Sign the petition (Russ Holt, HR 550, great bill-has 169 sponsors). http://www.rushholt.com/petition.html
www.debrabowen.com (Calif Senator running for Sec of State to reform election system)
www.votepa.us (well-organized local group of citizen activists in Pennsylvania, where important legal issues are at stake, including state's rights over election systems)

Also of interest:

Bob Koehler (-- four recent election reform initiatives in Ohio, predicted to win by 60/40 votes, flipped over, on election day, into 60/40 LOSSES!--the biggest flipover we've seen yet; the election theft machines and their masters are now dictating election policy!)

Throw Diebold, ES&S and all election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW!
