1. Let's start it today!


Here's how we can have our own Inaugurations (6 times a year),
and paper ballots, too!

2. I want to start a cozy bonfire
and joyfully throw all those worthless e-voting machines in there. Oh wait, the noxious fumes...darn.

7. They will in a few hours; and WE are going to be keeping in their...
...faces 24/7 from now until eternity.

Count on it.

And, here are the opening sentences from Bruce F. Cole's "Final Notice to Senate Democrats"

http://www.truthout.org/docs_05/010605W.shtml

"After casting their votes for President and Vice-President in Maine's House chamber last month, Maine's four Electors issued an unusual statement of concern for the condition of our national election system. That statement concluded with the following sentence: "Our four electoral votes are held meaningless if our sister states cannot hold elections that are fair, accurate, and verifiable.""

Nothing confusing about that.

Peace.

9. Strangely, that's how we feel here at home. Time is just time, but
doing right is doing right. I can't remember the last time anything seemed so right to me or feeling this sense of patience/timelessness/inevitability.

In all of this suspense and worry and what all. We're on board.

6. Gone fishing--it's Carp Day ;)

http://www.stolenvotes.org

With all the time and energy that's already been
spent on contesting the vote (though it's difficult
to see that it's been happening--or at least TRYING
to happen) we could have recounted BY HAND every
last vote in America!

That's what I want to see...COUNT EVERY VOTE!

Today will be a turning point in our nation...

Either the day we embraced our values and stood
up to protect what makes our country great

Or the Day that our Representatives turn their
backs on Democracy!

If it's the latter, it's time to turn our backs
on them and send them home! We'll just have a
national recall and elect a bunch of Actors
to represent us! :)

11. I haven't seen or heard from my democracy in quite a while.
I'm beginning to get worried about it. You don't suppose that something bad has happened do you? Maybe I should call the authorities.
