Bush crew practicing to jack next election?
http://www.bestoftheblogs.com/

<snip>

The following piece by Larry Margasak of The Associated Press ran on the wire last Sunday. None of the bought-and-paid-fors’ in the corporate media gave it a ride. If the Bush-Rove-Cheney-Rummy “axis of deceit” is altering Pentagon electronic data records on a massive scale before campaign season just think how easy it will be for them to jack the next election.

Pentagon auditors caught altering own files by Larry Margasak, AP
WASHINGTON- Pentagon auditors spent 1,139 hours altering their own files in order to pass an internal review, say investigators who found that the accounting sleuths engaged in just the kind of wasteful activity they are supposed to expose.

When the auditors in the New York City office learned well in advance which files a review team would check, they spent the equivalent of more than 47 days doctoring the papers and updating records from several audits, the Defense Department’s inspector general concluded. Administrative staff, audit supervisors and other employees also participated in the scheme.

1. When and if the voting machines are known
to have been tampered with, we must hit the streets hard. If we don't, welcome to the United States of born-again RW Corporate Military Industrial Pre-emptive America.

7. We need to act this week. On Tuesday, call both your Senators
We need to act this week. On Tuesday, call both your Senators and your Congressperson, and say,

"Do you know the Congressperson's position on the Voter Confidence Act, HR 2239"

and

"Do you know the Senator's position on the Voter Confidence Act, S 1980?"

After they say "no" (probably) say, "Please ask the Congressperson/Senator to support the Voter Confidence Act."

phone numbers for your state are at:

If you can convince others to call, all the better.

4. Actually, Ecru,
It's just recognizing that a snake will always be a snake. Don't blame us that Bush and his evil cabal will do anything to stay in power. We're just sounding the warning call -- they're the ones you should be lecturing.
