74. Sara, Don't Quit! Remember WATERGATE?
You may be too young to remember the November 7, 1972 election, I do, that election fell on my birthday too,:cry: just like in 2000.

I took almost 2 years of Senate Hearings to build enough of a case to get Nixon to resign, but he did. :evilgrin:This time we have a LOT more info, evidence, and we have the DU and the INTERNET. True, it did make the Republipukes VERRRY angry (I think Clinton's Impeachment was retribution for Watergate), but it did make being a Republican something you didn't admit easily for for almost 20 years.:evilgrin:

True, we don't control the Senate this time, but that's why we need you, and everyone else here, to start raising some HELL, and I don't mean just here on DU. I mean, spend a few minutes (O.K., hours) on DU, then start sending email, calling or politely visiting, Senators, Congress People, the MSM News to let them know you're mad as Hell,:mad: and you want them to DO something about it.

Election Reform matters! As a Democrat in Georgia, my Vote has been ignored in 2 National elections! (2002 and 2004) :argh:In 2002 I lost my Democratic Senator, Max Cleland, My new Democratic House Representatives who SHOULD have won, got Georgia's first Republican Governor in over 100 years, lost the Democratic Georgia State Senate (went from 2/3 Democrats to 51/49 split)to Republican control. :wtf:

In 2004, we lost the 2/3 majority Democratic Georgia House to another 51/49 Republican split and lost my Second Democratic Senator (sort of, Zell was a DINO), and still didn't beat my weak Repub House Rep. either.:shrug:

How did this all happen? Because Georgia was the first State to go ALL DIEbold AccuVote TS (TS is for paperless Touch Screen)in 2002 and Diebold even counts the Georgia vote too. Karl Rove is (was, I hope) using Georgia as a test bed.:grr:

So Quit ye Bitchin' and Help us (me) here in Georgia and Ohio, or we are going to lose ALL the swing states next time. :pals:
