National Black Box T Party
Angry that our election debacle is being called "smooth"?

Patriots in Port Townsend, Washington invite you to a
National Black Box T Party
to let the world -- and the press -- know what we really think!

Who: Large (or small) groups of true patriots.


What: Black Box T Party: Collective and symbolic dumping of our black box election system.

Where: All across the country.

When: Saturday, November 27 at 1:00 pm local time.

1. Beautiful. I was thinking about wearing a Paul Revere outfit to
our next protest and shouting, "The Diebolds are coming, the Diebolds are coming."

3. I am in Mass and I am up for it!
Anybody else in the MA/NH/ME/NY area up for a new "Boston" Tea Party that day? I think Boston Harbor would be a fitting place to do this. Anyone else interested in organizing this with me, send me a pm to discuss location. Perhaps we can invite the local Code Pink group too.

5. What a nasty response I got from Code Pink
I sent them a very nice email and just got this response --

You know what I HATE about these freakin' groups?

Every goddamn week a different one calls for a different goddamn
action. It's exhausting, it's futile, it's pathetic.

This was predictable since Jan 2001 and it might've helped had people
been stationed to watch the fraud in 2002.

This is Thanksgiving. Know what? All the little piddle-ass groups are
going to have to get together and plan something BIG and worthwhile.
Starting with MOVING our election away from the big vacation times.

It's going to have to be long term. Which means plan something
MEANINGFUL and EFFECTIVE and give people MORE TIME THAN LESS THAN A
WEEK DURING THANKSGIVING to plan an action.

You people make me sick. You might as well be rethuglicans.

I guess you've heard from me now.


Damn -- Should I take it they wouldn't be interested? WTF!!! A simple NO would have been acceptable. Why do we continue to beat on our own supporters? I just don't get it. ***Sigh***

6. Sounds like an isolated incident from a frustrated individual.
Let it go...

NGU.

7. Kick 'cause I'm interested...
I'm in MA and would attend. But, while I don't agree with the tone, I do agree with some of the sentiment from the Code Pinker - it's not much time in an otherwise busy week for people to organize a large-enough-to-be-effective "party".

8. I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier
but I did post it as soon as I seen it, I found it on Buzzflash and I don't go there that often.
