Serious question...Do we have time to wait?
Edited on Wed Jun-01-05 10:54 AM by Horse with no Name
It has been approximately ~8 months since the elections.
We have 16 more months to go for 2006.
With the amount of damage being done to our country daily, what will be left?
I am wondering if it would be prudent to figure out which states had recall elections and start recalling some of these asshats before we no longer have any recourse available.
I think time is running out.

1. Without guarantees on the voting machines, I for one do not feel
like anything is going to help us. We need to find out how Montana revoked their machines and follow suit in our states.

3. David Sirota is all about Montana - I wonder if he's written about
the revocation... he's got a blog - http://www.davidsirota.com/

2. How about using...
our 16 months to find some candidates who can defeat their opponents? Recall elections are not going to happen. It's a pipe dream.

5. I'd agree with this assessment
We have better ways to spend our time than chasing this particular pipe dream.

6. If it's really been 20 months...
