The Ying and the Yang. To fight within the system or fight in the streets

[In Truth We Trust]

Funny how everything in life seems to often have multiple options to attack a problem. Our current problem, namely corporate controlled government and it's manifest totalitarianism is a problem for which we seek a solution. Of this I know we all agree. Where we diffier is in the how.

Principle vs Pragmatic? Third party vs Dem Party? Violence vs Civil Disobedience?

I do not pretend to know the answer although I have an opinion as do we all. What I think we can agree upon is the problem itself and the need to fight. So with that said let me suggest that we all support the fight. Let us resolve to coalesce around one concrete and specific goal! Our goal is to get our democracy back! Our goal is to get our country back! To do this we need to get our vote back!!

Therefore with all that said my proposal is that we "usurp" the coup and idividually and collectively commit to attending any and all local Board of Elections meetings and prevent the further implementation of e-voting technology and then proceed to dismantle what has already been installed. Paper ballots and hand counts should be, and must be, the only choice of people who want the most difficult to tamper with on a wide scale solution. Collectively we can do this.

Please let us resolve to do this. We can create a specific forum for this and communicate strategies, events meetings, successes, obstacles, etc.

Feedback please and if a mod is able to create such a forum please let us know so we can start immediately. There is no time to waste. The powers that be are already plotting a HAVA 2 type of so called solution which we all know will be a republican and republican lite solution.

7. one suggeestion: maybe think about this as a "family"

in this "family" there's elders, professionals, teenagers, rabble-rousers, letter-writers, etc...

lets make sure there's something for everybody to do. synergize.
