Keppler Speakers

Bev Harris
Investigative Journalist

While authoring Black Box Voting, the groundbreaking book about the secret voting industry, Harris interviewed hundreds of witnesses, including election officials and even voting machine programmers who work directly for the firms that build these machines. It was Harris who discovered 40,000 secret voting system files on the Internet (from Diebold Election Systems), a massive security breach. These files have now been studied by computer scientists around the world, and have resulted in at least four scientific studies identifying "stunning, stunning security flaws."

Harris instigated the first multi-state consumer litigation against unauditable and untrustworthy voting systems. This 53-year old grandmother challenged secretaries of state with court injunctions, and has been fighting the large multinational corporations that dominate voter registration and vote-counting, on consumer protection, false advertising, and false claims charges.


Her fee is $6500 + local expenses. (I called). To be fair, she does pay her own air fare, or rather, donors are paying her air fair, so let's not be fair.

(Keppler would get part of her fee, I'm guessing 20%)

She's come a long way since those Clinton cigar sales.

She can add those fees to the donation money.

Oh, Bev, how do YOU sleep at night?

6. Full disclosure
I spoke on BBV at Central Carolina Community College in Pittsboro, NC.

They gave me $25 for gas and a bottle of water.

I spoke at the New England School of Law student ACLU symposium on voting rights and they paid my air fare ($321), but paid my own hotel and meals.

The state of North Carolina paid my gas expenses and a per diem while I was on the Joint Select Committee on Electronic Voting ($91.50 per meeting, six meetings).

8. I never charge to speak...all I ask is
for the group that invites me to pay airfare if any...and to find me a comfy sofa to sleep on.

I love staying with activists.

13. Noam Chomsky
only gets about $3,000 + air fare and expenses usually.

On the other hand, I hear Michael Moore gets around $16,500 so I guess Bev is a steal at half the price. :crazy:

14. Man, I've been going about this all wrong
I usually ask for groups to pay for airfare and hotel room, or for airfare and a couch. If it is a group that can give more, I will take it, but that happens about once a year.

I'm an idiot. You liberals are cash-cow suckers.

Can I have a dollar?

Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 05:41 PM by Andy_Stephenson
She did with the help of many of us. David and I included.

Edit: Oh and she has a web site she can post on...if she feels the need to respond.

20. He can start as many as he wants, OneMoreDemocrat,
and I for one, welcome them. Bev needs to be exposed far and wide as the fraud she is.

She's also a good cautionary tale for DUers - check out your heros before you give them money. There are unscrupulous crooks out there who will take your money for bad reasons. Bev is one of them.

23. someone who can't fight back?
Hardly. She has her own forum and no one is kicking her while she is down. She can't post here because she can't follow the rules. I doubt I would be allowed to post on her site at all.

Bev Harris did more to bring Black Box Voting fraud to the public's attention than ANYONE else did and if people want to pay her $6500 a pop to hear her speak, then so be it.

Obviously, you did NOT read all my posts. If you had, you would have known by now that this simply isn't true.

What are you jealous 'cause no-one wants to hear you speak?

Point to ONE post I have made that is untrue. If you can't find any, then you should ponder what these posts tell you about Bev.

I wouldn't take money to speak under ANY circumstances. Just as I don't file qui tam law suits.

As I have explained before, as soon as Bev stops attacking myself and her former allies and employees, we'll leave her alone to count her money. All she has to do is STOP!

24. I think we'll be wiser next time
I just think this has not been the right approach at all, especially with the find of the election tapes in FL. Now that crusade has been left to local activists, who are easily outgunned in the courts,
justice delayed is justice denied. It sounds like there was a massive grassroots financial backing for many after 11/2/04, and there were results but not on the level of the money that people donated. And the saddest thing is that I think that a number of individuals used this tragedy as a cash cow to further drain the dems whether this was Rovian or not I don't know. For all the local activists, those who work tirelessly for little money, you have our heartfelt thanks but many of us sacrificed to donate to various groups who were going to find the TRUTH and I think much of the money I sent was wasted, including the money that I sent to the Ohio Dems to support the recount that they told me was going to go towards a media campaign for college campuses to convince people of election fraud.
