in your signs and press releases: If we had transparent elections in the U.S., we wouldn't have this war, or any of the other horrors of the Bush junta. 58% of the American people opposed this war way back before the invasion (in Feb. '03). Something like 80% oppose it now. 63% of the American people oppose torture "under any circumstances" (May '04)--despite all the fearmongering and warmongering. No way that this criminal junta was "re-elected." Rightwing Bushite corporations gained control our election system during the 2001-2004 period, with the $4 billion HAVA electronic voting boondoggle (brought to us by the two biggest crooks in Congress, Tom Delay and Boy Ney), and are 'counting' all our votes with 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code and virtually no audit/recount controls.
Non-transparent elections are not elections. They are tyranny. That's what we have.
If we can restore our right to vote--through grass roots election reform movements throughout the country, in every state/local jurisdiction--we will bring this war and this tyranny to an end.
But we may have only a short window of opportunity to do so. The Bushites are already moving to take away state power over election systems (in lawsuits in Pennsylvania). We must inform people and act fast. The war profiteering corporate news monopolies have put an "Iron Curtain" over this story--and corrupt, collusive Democratic Party leaders have also helped to suppress it. So people don't know that the very mechanism by which we exercise our sovereignty as a people--our right to vote--has been taken away. They NEED to know WHY we have this war, when most people are against it. They are mystified and feel demoralized and disempowered.
Help get the word out!
Transparent elections = the end of unjust war.
