Fantastic article by Ernest Partridge linked to DU home page:
While the Iron is Hot.
...the Busheviks, the GOP and the radical right are reeling. The iron is hot, and it is time to strike... Persistence and unrelenting pressure is the key. There is still time to break and overthrow this criminal regime. The alternative is unthinkable. WORLD CAN'T WAIT Push the * regime from office!
More from Partridge's article:
Election fraud is the linchpin. If election fraud is not addressed and exposed, the Democrats' cry of "wait till next time" is so much hot air. After all, 2002 and 2004 were "next time," and while the voter "input" likely favored the Democrats, the output, via the black box manipulations of the Diebold and ES&S voting machines, compilers and secret software codes kept the Republicans in power. So they shall again in 2006 – you can count on it - unless the issue of voting integrity is addressed and favorably resolved.

...the evidence of fraud is overwhelming, and should be convincing to anyone who dares to examine and come to terms with that evidence. (The Crisis Papers has collected accounts of the evidence

Count me among those who believe that today we have lost our democracy. That doesn't mean that we can't take it back. But time is of the essence, for the longer we wait the more difficult will be the restoration. Today, Republican-owned companies count the ballots with secret codes, most of our media is controlled by six corporate conglomerates, the PATRIOT Act is still in force, and so-called "enemy combatants" - including some American citizens - are being denied basic rights stipulated by the Geneva Conventions and the U.S. Constitution.
Ahead lies total media control and the police state.
