53. OK, everyone, let's do this here, instead of me creating...
...a new 'post.'

I think this is the ideal thread in which to insert something Brad Friedman posted earlier this evening on BradBlog. For those who want to spread it, please do so. Given that I'm in constant correspondence with Brad, I'm reluctant to post it beyond here.

Main reason is that given Brad's detailed investigative work on Clinton Curtis, these comments might appear to transform his 'neutral' due diligence into one of someone with an agenda. That is not the case. I think Brad cares deeply about our American franchise of democracy and is doing everything possible to bring facts forward in as rigorously researched manner as possible.

With those disclaimers here is a very strong set of statements from Brad:

"Several efforts are underway, both behind the scenes and out in public, to begin to get at least one U.S. Senator to join with several U.S. Congressmen to file an objection to the Electoral Results in Congress on Jan 6th. Such an action would then throw the entire election back into both the House and Senate, leading to a potential Constitutional Crisis in this country unlike anything we've seen for quite a while.

At this time, The BRAD BLOG officially endorses such an action in the U.S. Congress, based on so many of the reports we have now seen that no longer give us confidence in our electoral system. If such an action is necessary to bring attention to this growing confidence crisis, then we heartily endorse it and will work to help ensure that at least one Senator comes on board this time around. One is all it will take.

The Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) have set up an easy online form, to help convince a few key senators. Click here to take action.

As well, we have been receiving more and more comments and email in regard to people hitting the streets to reclaim their democracy based on everything we have seen, reported on, and helped to ferret out since November 2nd.

To that end, it is now the official BRAD BLOG position that people should indeed begin "hitting the streets" in this regard.

We have held our tongue on this issue for some time in the hopes that the media would be more responsible in doing their job to investigate and report on so much of what has been going on. It was our hope that perhaps they could demonstrate that our concerns were for naught, and perhaps have the the concerns of so many who are paying attention and don't like what we've been seeing be assuaged by common-sense, investigative journalism that assuaged such concerns."

So, read it; bask in the warmth of statements from a true, fellow patriot; and, spread the word to the extent you are each comfortable.

Peace.
