1. That last caller was very good
She gets it .... she's see that this is about Democracy, not politics.

3. A conservative guy said he was disappointed that Repubicans
weren't interested in the irregularities and a woman said she is a Republican, her sister is a Dem and they both want fair elections. She said she called the office of her Rep. (I think) and wanted to know his opinion...she says we have to have fair elections, a level playing field, and our democracy depends on it.

Both were very gooo calls.

4. I suspect that caller was a 'troll'
That's the feeling I got.

10. I have seen so many of these people agreeing that they want fair elections
they do not want to "lose" but they do not want to win fraudulently. Go to bipartisan sites. The supportive ones tend to be quieter. It is the ones who want to win (corrupt or not) that shout the loudest. But they are there. They are upset and more than a bit angry. We KNOW we are the majority. Imagine the fight with the majority and the honest Republicans all fighting. We cannot alienate good people no matter what their affiliation. The assholes on the other hand, tear em up!

5. Which is why this is the time to do a grassroots revolution
There are people of many political stripes who want our system overhauled. Just work on your own town, county, or state.

Little bites from lots of people, and we will eat the whole danged pie!

8. We are locally, already doing this
:-)

And some of our steering committee are Republicans... we like to refer to us as American Patriots and drop the party affiliations

9. Yes, they want to make sure the vote is legitimate
One woman caller said she wants a paper trail, so that her liberal relatives won't be able to accuse the Republicans of stealing the elections.

This is an important point we should notice (the Dems in Congress should notice) - BOTH sides support verifiable voting.
