Another proposal for action.
Advertisements [?]
Statistical anomalies, exit polls, probabilities, computer hacking, bbv, and the all powerful 'internet driven conspiracy' label, will be spun right over the heads of even the voters who can pay attention, assuming MSM ever brings it up for serious debate- and I'd bet money they never will.

Our politicians and our party, except for a small handful, have given BushCo carte blanche to send the country and the world into hell, when by rights they should have impeached them all by 2002 for a number of provable crimes.

What to do? One suggestion is an appeal to any overseas allies. Most of the world is strongly against Bush and his policies, but at the moment still supportive of the American people.

Beginning with the UK, and the stable EU countries, we need to initiate a massive and peaceful protest movement, with two prongs. One squarely AGAINST BushCo wars -and there will be more to come shortly- and the other clearly FOR uncovering fraud in recent US elections. But no tangential issues, no radical groups-as grassroots and mainstream as possible.

The movement will be spear-headed through the web, through world media, and most importantly, live and in person. Demonstrating outside the BBC head offices in the UK, or in front of #10 Downing Street, or wherever, if done peacefully and with great numbers, will finally be effective when covered by other media than our own. And on the streets of London or Paris or Berlin, there will be thousands of European small 'd' democrats and a not a few expat Americans willing to join us.

This may involve many of us leaving the country for some time, and the risk of jail or exile, and worse. But the situation is dire, and the future of our democracy and the planet is at stake.

There will be much to do here at home, as always, but it is more clear by the moment that that our options and our chances of success are severely limited by the complicity of MSM, and by the apparently chronic impotence of our politicians. The world needs to know these same terrible truths. It is watching already.
