AZ Sec. of State Office...Misinforms...Radio Listeners About Diebold Hack, Help America Vote Act
State Election Director Appears on Radio Show ONLY if Brad is Not Allowed to Ask Questions...
PLUS: Brad Invites AZ SoS Jan Brewer to a Public Debate in Support of our Troops and Democracy on the Homefront!



Our Electoral System is supposed to be open and transparent and accurate. Our democracy is worth fighting for and, if you believe the politicians in D.C., worth sending our troops to fight and die in order to spread around the world. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) amongst other things, is supposed to help disabled voters vote in private and on their own. All of these things, I believe Arizona's Secretary of State, Jan Brewer would probably agree with. And yet, she seems to have a very different belief about how to ensure the integrity of our democracy at home and how disabled voters should be treated.

Therefore, after her office sent a spokesperson to lie on air about their approval of Diebold touch-screen systems in the state (complete audio, transcript, and statements from Election Official debunking the AZ SoS' nonsense, is available at link below.) I am inviting her to a public debate on the matter. I will travel to Arizona on a date of her choosing and all proceeds from the debate will go towards supporting our troops from the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars for a charity which builds accesible housing for the most severly disabled of them....
