Goons at the Polls

[TomClash]

Are we prepared if there is a repeat of the 2000 "pinstripe goon squad tactics" in FLA?

Maybe we should have our own protection a la the black muslims and the early Teamsters to discourage such activity.

In New Mexico, Florida, Colorado... all the swing states.

4. I know.

I'm one of them. I'll be in FLA. But I have a bad feeling about it.

We were intimidated in 2000. It could be worse this time.

2. Goons

The goons are best advised to stay out of my way this election day.

3. I highly recommend that as many people as possible volunteer

to assist at the polls. I know I will be there. Please read the attached article from Progressive Magazine as it outlines some of the really nasty tricks these people use to supress the votes including telling them the machines are connected to Federal computers which will track them. It's a long article, but if you read the beginning and end, it's worth it. Thanks

6. My wife is working at the polls...

Here in San Diego as a translator (Spanish/English). I'm sure if something happens, she'll swat the offender.

7. That is great. I know minorities are being targeted so bilingual

people at the polls will be an asset. We have a heavy hispanic population where I live and I hope we get some bilingual people to assist here as well. (Pennsylvania)

8. Easier to counter act

now that we are much wiser to the lowhanded trickery that was perpetrated. Were such a thing to occur again... in 20 minutes the photograph would be broadcast from end of the globe to end of the globe in search of identifying the participants (heck that is how the young republican kicker was found.)

9. Michael Moore?

Didn't he say that he would be in FL for the elections with his cameras? Anyone hear anymore about that?

10. I'm ready to kick some ass if there's a repeat of 2000

I'm a non-violent type, but if another "Brooks Brothers Riot" happens, I'm ready to be part of any effort to confront and engage these fascists. I'm dead serious. I'm not sitting by and letting them steal another election. Too many people (in my own family) have fought and died for this precious right. I am not going to allow their struggles and deaths to be for nothing.
