1. Very good

all it takes is ONE case of vote counting fraud to undo the 2004 election.

If it can be proved that Diebold commited fraud in San Diego then they could not be trusted in any election.

Please help by spreading the word!

12. Activists are mobilizing; I imagine you'll be seeing some

demonstrations soon if the recount isn't done honestly or if the media here doesn't give appropriate coverage.

3. Some don't get over it.

Let me reframe: but is this really a worthwhile battle?

(yes, this is irony.)

4. Only if we San Diegans value honest government and clean beaches!

Not to mention fiscal solvency, as we're teetering on the brink of bankruptcy here.

6. never forgive, never forget

The neocons give us no quarter. We can't be soft in prosecuting them for their offenses while they're in power, and we dare not let them off the hook afterward.
