Stop election thieves NOW!
Whatever the outcome of efforts to ban machines or add a "paper trail," unless voters can register (or verify their registration) in processes are simple and open; unless the votes they cast are recorded on official ballots that are counted in processes that are open to public observation, the public can and must reject the suspicious election results.

Message to every election official who advocates and participates in the implementation of systems that make it impossible for us to have confidence in our elections:

--Secret vote counting is Un-American and unacceptable. It is impossible for the public to have confidence in elections that rely on computer transactions that cannot be observed. It doesn't --matter how many experts vouch for the system, if we cannot make an independent evaluation, we cannot have confidence.

--Your systems make it impossible for us to have confidence in our elections.

--We will not accept the suspicious election results obtained by such systems.

--You can implement changes before the next election or watch your replacements conduct a new, valid election after the results of your suspect elections are rejected by the public.

--We will not tolerate obstructionists who fail to replace suspect systems and processes by invoking deadlines, appealing to legal technicality and cynical misuse of our courts, or "running out the clock."

--We will go after every official who fails to ensure a free, fair, open, and accurate election. We will go after every official who fails to fight for our right to have confidence in our elections personally. We will go after your job. We will sue you personally for colluding with private corporations to betray the public trust. We will not hesitate to call you the names you deserve and subject you to public ridicule. We will be watching you like a hawk and will criminally prosecute you for participating in, or turning a blind eye to any suspicious actions.
--Call meetings, pass out flyers. Call on your neighbors to sign on and commit to rejecting the results of elections that do not instill public confidence in the results.

Stop the Elections Thieves Right Now!

And for that I do applaud Nebraska politicians, at least in this part of the state.

2. Is it true that a Venezuelan Company now owns a significant percentage
...of the voting machine hardware and software being used in the coming U.S. national elections? I heard this driving home from work last night on the Michael Savage Talk Radio Show. I know he is a RW nut case, but he made a big issue about it at the close of his show which is all that I heard. He linked this to BushCo style treason of the Dubai Ports Management fiasco and now this foreign control of vote counting by a known enemy nation of the U.S.

Is it total bullshit, or is there something to this? I found this site, but I have no idea how current the information is plus most of the links in the site seem to have been terminated:
