31. The one thing that finally got my brother past the "it's over, you lost"
mentality was sending him the link to Conyer's letter to Blackwell. When it's spelled out that clearly in black & white (these are Repugs, they only understand black & white) it's practically impossible to read that and not walk away with a very disturbing feeling about the future of our democracy.

My email to him that showed him this was pretty simple:

I want you to read something, and while you do, please keep these 2 things in mind:

1) If Kerry (or Hillary) "won" by 3 million votes and the House Republican members of the Judiciary committee wrote this exact letter, how would you feel?

2) If you look at the age & computer savvy of the typical Democratic voter vs the typical Republican voter - how long can you be sure that the election won't be hacked in favor of a Democratic landslide - unless we make sure the system has the right checks & balances now.

Ok, now read this letter and tell me what you think
