1. Fwiw, Andy told me he and Gore had discussed this at length.

I got to talk to him, briefly. It seemed to me that he was on board. But I know much less than most of you.

5. Gore Vidal is an important voice in our court

Great link. Vidal went to school with Poppy Bush and knows these people and their suspect "ethics".

7. I'm only half way throught his video, and I'm recommending it.

We need one more vote for the greatest.

8. Vidal predicted the election would be stolen before

it happened: Kerry will win, but won't be allowed to take office.

He also wrote the introduction for "What Went Wrong in Ohio" -- Congressman Conyers' report as published by Academy Chicago Press.

12. He predicted it before it would happen?

I didn't know that. IT MAKES ME SO MAD, sorry for shouting. Even Christopher Hitchens wrote for Vanity Fair that the election was stolen, but NOTHING HAPPENS. This is truly an alternate universe we're living in.

13. NOTHING HAPPENS - Not true....

In retrospect it wasn't that hard to predict -- They stole 2000, what would make anyone think they wouldn't steal 2004. I still clung to the idea that Kerry would win by such a large margin that they would not be able to shift as many votes as needed. I vastly misunderestimated them -- they shifted millions of votes -- at least 3-4 million, probably more.

NOTHING HAPPENS - Not true.

Read the DU Election Results & Discussion Forum - Often!

> There are lawsuits pending in Ohio - where two Board of Elections members have been indicted for fraud during the recount.

> There is legal action underway in New Mexico - a test state - if they can demonstrate how the fraud happened in NM, where lots of people are angry about the last election, then they will know how it happened across the country.

> Thom Hartmann and Brad Friedman regularly feature voters rights segments on their radio shows -- there was an extended discussion just this morning on Thom's show on AAR.

Also read VoteTrust.org. Right NOW they need people to call their Congress critters to reject HR 3910 and pass HR 550 as written. This is a combined effort of Working Assets, VotersUnite.org, Electronic Frontier Foundation, VerifiedVoting.org, and CommonCause.

15. Yes, we should say nothing happens soon enough.

To matter to the outcome, that is.

14. I'm glad I don't pay $100s to subscribe to the NYT....

maybe I would consider it if they covered the Conyer's report.
