"VOTEREVOLUTION" flash film re:BBV and Diebold - MY BEST!

[symbolman]

Here it is, what I think is my best work - all in honor of Bev Harris and her hardy band of patriots, I'd like to think I'm among them - trying to get this out there..

I actually expect to get a Cease and Desist letter pretty fast... so spread the word on this FAST please! I want it to survive..

there's even a standalone .exe file for PC's that you can download to your hard drive and share with others (right click on that link at the bottom of the page to dl it)..

So, is it Vote Revolution or Voter EVolution? You decide..

But turn up those speakers!

(already being sued by Savage, am I an idiot or what?)

Also, please check the links for me and tell me of any problems?

Thanks!

Viva La Voterevolution!

1. Great one symbolman

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Outstanding, as usual

Great timing. I'm sure the BBV folks could use a lift today.

[BevHarris]

3. Fantastic!!!!! Love it (and thanks) and keep up the fight --

and let me know immediately of any cease order -- I am going to talk to a couple of the bigs tomorrow with a list of the cease and desists. One of the best so far is bpilgrim's cease & desist on a search engine.

This is going out to my email list now.

[symbolman]

5. Glad you like Bev!

Told you I was going to do something, just got so busy, but this IS important and I pushed a lot of other stuff to the side to get it done for you - eating, sleeping, the usual :)

Hope this helps get people interested in what the hell is going on..

Spread the word and I'll keep in touch,

yer a true patriot you are,

best,

symbolman

[Howardx]

4. that was excellent!

great work!

[Bushfire]

6. Great stuff again Symbolman!!!

Time to post that link on a bunch of messageboards again.

[ewagner]

7. Just bought two lottery tickets

If I win big...these are going on national TV advertising campaigns.


Just starting my own independent insurance business otherwise I'd help you get these out right now!

Thanks symbolman....good work.

[el_gato]

8. Great work!

I just sent your link out to several people.

By the way, I clicked your bbv link at the end and the site came up.

Is BBV back up now?

[BevHarris]

16. Blackboxvoting.com is information central right now

I know, it's confusing: David Allen, Plan Nine Publishing, owns http://www.blackboxvoting.com -- it has a lot of news, and some of his very entertaining commentary, plus links to a lot more.

http://www.blackboxvoting.org has been taken out by a Diebold threat. It is the activism and research arm of blackboxvoting, and quite effectively set up as kind of a "self serve" by DemActivist; it's most popular function is the forums, both public and private, where a great deal of information sharing and effective work gets done. Another thing on bbv.org is the library, which contains literally hundreds of documents and fair use news articles for those doing research on the topic.

And now, back to Symbolman: This is really great stuff. I laughed out loud at the part at the end where Arnold is pushing buttons and Gary Coleman and others are popping up.

Get Symbolman's work out to your entire email list as soon as possible.

Bev

[symbolman]

33. Props to David as well!

I thought that was your site Bev, oh well, you have the name recognition, I can always change it later..

This is one way to get more people interested that don't have the time to digest all the info you guys present, it's overwhelming so I just made something to suck folks into the scene and maybe get others to create work, a ripple effect..

Keep the hammer on them!

[rwork]

9. Great work symbolman.

We always expect some one else to the dirty work. we really do appreciate your work. You to Bev.

[Cocoa]

10. that reminds me of the big Flash audition

right before the big "first volley" Bev held a big contest for the best Flash presentation to promote the story.

Aside from the strangeness of such a huge story needing a PR campaign, I also found it strange that no winner was announced, in fact the contest was never mentioned again.

What did Bev do with all the submissions that came in, did they go straight to the recycle bin? Was it just another snipe hunt to make everone feel "involved" in BBV?

[symbolman]

12. snipe hunt?

this issue is so important that the words "snipe hunt" can't possibly bear any relation to it..

What's with the negativity here? we are trying to do something important - please take those kind of comments to another thread - maybe start your own.

all I'm going to say on this.

[Cocoa]

14. the following thread sounded important too

it sounded urgent in fact, especially about the "extremely fast turnaround."

But then.... nothing. So, maybe it wasn't so important after all. Maybe it was just a big scam? Maybe the biggest clue, ironically, is the exaggerated claims of how important it is?

Here's the thread about the Flash script needed urgently:

[alphafemale]

11. Great stuff.

[SoCalDem]

13. did you send it off to Michael Moore & Al Franken??

:)

[symbolman]

19. SoCal

Your graphic tags always crack me up! I really look forward to them, seriously..

Nope, sent the word off to Buzzflash and whatreallyhappened.com but that's about it -- wish I knew where to send to michael moore - I've been linked on his site before but I think they 'found' my work on the web, not because I wrote their site.. never got any feedback..

bet Franken would love this too..

I predict I'll get a lil letter from SOMEONE within three days to turn this flash OFF :)

Anyone you know, please send away!

and keep those graphics coming - the shark eating the diver was a fav long ago :)

[SoCalDem]

20. Thanks.. I envy YOU in a big way

I would kill to know how to do what you do :loveya:

If I lived close to you, I would gladly sit behind you and watch your magic:)

[symbolman]

21. I almost stole your Goober

and stuck it in the flash - but I wanted to be taken seriously, as you can see with what I did with Ahnold and the rest of the "candidates" ahem..

lol, thanks!

[SoCalDem]

22. Use any of mine any time you want

:)

[nostamj]

15. fierce!

got my copy. good luck............ (and ignore the 'sniping' - some people have (apparently) nothing else to do)

[seemslikeadream]

17. Absolutely the best!

Did I see the hand of God touching those machines?

[Pastiche423]

18. Fabulous!

All of your work has been great. But this IS the most important now.

THANK YOU!

P.S. Please ignore the negativity. It seems to come from only one...

[dmr]

23. FANTASTIC

Symbolman you are so talented, imaginative and passionate! Thank you for everything you do for us. I'm with SoCalDem, wish I could watch and learn over your shoulder.

I've run into a problem, though; I downloaded it, but when I try to open it, I get this message: voterrevolution.exe is not a valid Win32 application. ??? Please help.

[symbolman]

24. You must be on a PC

and you need to RIGHT CLICK on the download and then SAVE TARGET AS to whatever folder, etc you want..

I should make that more clear on the site..

then it will work,

thanks for the compliments, SHARE this now! :)

Keep up the great work yourself!

[SoCalDem]

25. Hey, symbolman, you might enjoy watching these

http://homepage.mac.com/alan31/clips/schwarz4.mov


gotta scroll down the page and look for the sequel link
http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/commercial


and www.japander.com has celebs in japanese ads that are hysterical

and then there are these..

http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/

[symbolman]

27. OH MAN!

These must be shared with the world! At least the US.. okay, California for sure..

It's called RITALIN Kiddies :) LOL!!

Thanks, I'm gonna post these, this is too too much!

[MI Cherie]

26. Beautiful work!

It would be absolutely perfect if you could use the uncensored version:

"... count me out! (Innnnnnnnnn)"


Find someone with the original "White" album and listen carefully.

:hippie:

[ShaneGR]

28. It would be good if you get a cease letter....

Bad press is good press. Or any press is good press.

Just a thought.

[TellTheTruth]

29. Fantastic!

PERFECT song for the flash video!

[symbolman]

53. Yeah til the Beatles sue me too

or would that be Michael Jackson? Doesn't he own their songs now?

thanks!

[rocktivity]

30. Your best--AGAIN???

;)
rocknation

[symbolman]

32. Always better than the last my friend

:)

Of course if you watch TV, like I explained to my kid when he was three - "They can't each be the BEST bicycles like they say in each Commercial, can they?" -- he figured some of those bike ads were lying to him :)

thanks :)

[yowzayowzayowza]

31. Excellent!

Love the ATM receipt barb... time for common freaken sense already.

[KoKo]

41. Kick! And Send a Donation.......

Kick!

[symbolman]

50. I think this is the crux of the situation

and one that the common folks can easily get behind. simple, we ALL use ATMS..

Imagine getting no reciept, isn't your VOTE worth that much more?!

thanks!

[BevHarris]

34. I just want to let you know that your presentation

really picked up my spirits. This thing is, ya know, tiring! sometimes. I literally shouted out loud at the stuff you had on there -- really motivated me to keep going against the fascist thing that we've become. Really, the part about 2004 being IT was so motivating. And horrifying.

Bev

[symbolman]

35. I can't imagine how you do it Bev

and everything else - I know when I'm reading all the dreck in the world just to run Take Back the Media and then when I take a break I spend a few hours looking at pics of injured kids, or broken soldiers in case I see something I can use in a flash - it gets overwhelming..

yep, but we both know that "Silence is Complicity", the simplest terms I've seen to describe the reason to fight the bastards, but the most compelling..

I won't stop til they pry my vote from my cold, dead hands.

It's the ONLY true freedom we have.. But if I do some day apply for political asylum in Tahiti, let's do lunch and talk about what a time we all gave those monsters..

But THANK YOU, I know I couldn't do it...

[JohnyCanuck]

36. bump n/t

bump

[symbolman]

37. Thanks

eh? :)

This flash is now on whatreallyhappned.com so it's going to be seen worldwide by a lot of people - that site gets tons of traffic, so that's good..

maybe the Chocolate Makers can come and oversee our elections? (and I mean that in the best way, Europe knows the score)

[frank frankly]

38. it is your best

and they've all been great
wow
wow

wow!

[SoCalDem]

39. kick for the night timers

:)

[JohnyCanuck]

40. And another kick back to page 1

Check it out if you havent seen it yet. Symbolman has outdone himself once again.


http://www.takebackthemedia.com/voterevolution.html

[symbolman]

42. And another thanks

JohnCanuck - from the great unfrozen Southern California - you too SoCal ;)

[Supply Side Jesus]

43. kick

great work symbolman....as usual.
BTW, you crack me up on the radio show. LOve that style of humor.

[symbolman]

44. Thanks SSJ

Where did you get that graphic? My wife and I are cartoonists and that's just freaking hilarious, a Supply Side Jesus, killer.. I'd like to get a bigger copy of that for a pal who's into economics..

Style of humor on the radio show, yep, been in TWO nuthouses.. WORKED in them :) (one was a Veteran's hospital after I got out in '74 of the USAF - now THERE would be some humor and stories..)

are you the cartoonist?

appreciate the kick!

[Supply Side Jesus]

56. not a cartoonist

Just a shmo who used a pic from al franken's book, you can check it here:

http://beliefnet.com/story/132/story_13245_1.html

franken really goes after the "compasionate conservatives" and supply siders...loved it so much I ripped it off!!

on edit: a guy name Don Simpson did it, at first i thought it was you or stanger.

[Zhade]

45. Rock on! Excellent job, man!

I especially like the "contract versus ballot" paper contrast.

[KC]

46. Wow

That's fantastic !!

KC

[dusty64]

47. Cool.

:kick:

[dusty64]

48. One more

:kick: before I go.

[symbolman]

49. Thanks Everyone

please post this everywhere and get the word out!

[Cocoa]

51. the link to the Salon story doesn't work for me

I click it, but hothing happens.

This is unfortunate, because I think your summary of the Volusia story is misleading if not outright inaccurate.

You say that the paper ballots fixed the error. Is this true, if so, how? I don't think it's correct to say that.

Also, your movie is not clear enough, in my opinion, that the machines in that county were not DRE's.

[symbolman]

52. Boy

You're just a little ray of sunshine aren't you?

[KC]

58. lol

n/t

KC

[Cocoa]

59. Everything I do, I do for you

You did say "Also, please check the links for me and tell me of any problems?"

So far, I'm the only one who has done this, you should be grateful. Instead you sound more like a snotty Diebold software developer getting defensive when the QA guys find bugs.

Also I'm absolutely positive you don't want to be spreading incorrect information around. Otherwise, what would be the point?

[gully]

55. They were optiscan machines...

and they had a paper trail (thank goodness...)

However, there will be no paper trail with the new technology...

[Cocoa]

60. there were irregularities with the paper ballots

So there still isn't full confidence in this county's results.

That's one of the points that's glossed over. BBV* tends to imply that paper ballots are a panacea, but in fact there will still be security issues.

Which is why the election officals' cost-benefit thinking isn't completely invalid.

[gully]

54. Sent it to moveon...

Hope they watch!

Great stuff!!!!

[Crewleader]

57. Thanks Teena for the heads up....

sent out to Democrats in Florida!!!
