November 4th - 30 percent of all Presidential ballots were cast this year, using electronic voting (Evoting). With Evoting, it is very easy to change the results of an election. And no one can prove it, since there is no paper trail (no hard copy).

I believe this is the most important issue all progressives face. Bush didn't "win" reelection - it was stolen (read here)*. Not only did Bush steal the Whitehouse again; but they also swept the South's Senate seats. And, they even ousted Senator Tom Daschle** by a very "close" margin. This probably sent a very ominous message to the other Senate Dems: "mess with us and we won't keep you around as a "token" minority." This is the first time in 53 years that a party Leader has been beaten. A GOP spokesman described Daschle as an "obstructionist" (threat - don't get in our way!).

I believe in two years, they will try to "finish the job". They will try to defeat enough Democratic Senators to take away their ability to filibuster*. If this happens, there will be no stopping them! They will be able to appoint the most extremist right-wing judges, etc. They will have unchecked power - since they will have total control of all branches of our federal government. In effect, our country will become a total fascist state!
*A device, used only in the Senate, to delay or prevent a vote by time-consuming talk. It can be stopped only by a 60-member vote of the senators present and voting.

Clearly, this should be THE most important issue for all of us. I'm not suggesting that you give up any other causes you have. But we all must give very serious effort to stop Evoting Fraud. If we don't, it is very possible that our other progressive interests will be greatly marginalized, if not outright eliminated. So I suggest devoting as much time to this as your other causes, until all States and all elections have a paper trail.

I have created a new web page ("Evoting Fraud")*, that is devoted to informing, educating and bringing about the end of the paperless ballot.

I will add to this page daily. Please email me with any link suggestions; and check back regularly. <I now contains: 23 articles, four movies to watch online, one book to read online, etc. more to come.>

3. We Need To Control The Machines...

This means strong grassroot efforts in hundreds of communities, counties and states to get Democrats on local board of elections and to elect Democratic Secretaries of State in these states. Blackwell should be on every Democrat's radar in 2006...as is making wholescale changes in Florida and several other states.

We can find 1,000 ways these asshole cheat and defraud Democrats, and they'll come up with 1,000 more. Time to change tactics and win from the bottom up.
