for your passion and your sacrifices and hard work on our behalf! I especially thank you for being there, for representing all disenfranchised voters--the majority of the country--when we are so completely unrepresented in Congress, in the White House, at Diebold and ES&S headquarters, and on the Baker-Carter "commission."
I would only urge you to be extremely wary of being invited to sit in the audience while some bought and paid for "expert" tells you that "election centers" should be run like MacDonald's or WalMart.
These are very bad dudes who sprang this so-called "commission" on us out of nowhere, but they are also very shrewd. They are looking for a way to federalize elections under Bush Cartel control--and take away our power to reform election systems at the state/local level (the only power we have left!). They have NO INTENTION of giving us back our right to vote. They are simply out to centralize and simplify election fraud.
Pastor's visit to the real election hearing was very shrewd, indeed--as was his invitation for you to LISTEN (not to testify!).
They call themselves a "commission." Who "commissioned" them? They have a self-appointed task of issuing "a report to Congress." Who asked for it? They have been extremely selective in who they permit to testify. Who is making these decisions? They have dwelt upon the wholly fraudulent RNC-fabricated issue of "voter fraud." Who do you think is writing these agendas?
This lament that Congress is not interested in election reform is a P.R. ploy. Bush's "pod people" in Congress will GET interested as soon as B/C comes up with the plan for total centralized control of voter registration rolls and vote counting under Bushite voting machine companies. They will hop to, and implement anything James Baker wants them to.
I'm just saying, don't be taken in; don't be fooled. Our election fraud/election reform movement has thrown a monkey wrench into their devious plans. They now know that we know that REAL election reform is only going to take place at the state/local level, where ordinary people still have some say. HAVA was not only not real reform; it was used by the Bushite electronic voting machine companies to completely corrupt our election system at every level--by lavish lobbying of election officials amidst a windfall of $4 billion infused into the states.
Check out this hogfest at the Beverly Hilton, this coming August, with Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia sponsoring a week of fun and sun for state election officials. It reeks of corruption! Go here:

We have never given up. We now have a mountain of evidence that this election was stolen. And word is spreading. As Bush tanks in the polls, it is becoming very clear that neither he nor his oil cartel represents the majority of Americans. How can a president get "re-elected' and six months later have a 40% approval rating? It just doesn't add up--like all the numbers for that election. SOMETHING is wrong. Almost everybody knows it. And it IS going to be exposed.
What this phony, private B/C "commission" is trying to do is to spin it--to turn the emerging evidence of fraud, and the discontent, to their advantage, by proposing centralization and yet MORE electronics. Beware! Election "centers" are a bad, bad, bad idea--and, within them, our vote will have as much true worth and substance as a MacDonald hamburger!
Corporate systems of control over our food have proven to be very bad for our health. Corporate systems of control over our votes are much, much worse, because they prevent us from every getting what we want and need: true representation!
As for WalMart, that execrable rightwing monster! Could there be anything worse as a model for democracy?
People with these kinds of models in their minds for VOTING are out to steal your vote, your money and your life, and the lives of your children. They have absolutely no interest in justice or fairness, or good government, or democracy. That we have such people actually running our elections is indicative of the very big pigsty that our election system has become, and that we must take a very BIG BROOM to, if we want our democracy to be restored.
