What Questions Are We Failing to Ask ? |
|
Sometimes strategy can leap forward when we begin asking ourselves and each other more stimulating, powerful questions. It takes us beyond thinking the same things over and over again, into new mental territory.
So, what questions do we need to be asking?
I'll offer this one for starters:
What features of the election justice movement and the current state of affairs in this country have the potential to help us achieve our goals of fair and transparent elections?
(example: fair elections is a mainstream U.S. value)
I look forward to hearing your new thinking!

1. Active and committed people in every county |
|
if not every voting precinct. I still remember being told by the Democratic Committee chair of my county that they weren't going to do a thing to help Kerry, and in the next breath being told about votes bought and sold in the county. Made me sick to my stomach.

Mr bush*, as our first MBA president some may say you're a Type A personality, you know the real go-getter, pull-no-punches type. Others may say that while you make the decision you leave it up to others to not waiver from your "plan" and as Larry the Cable Guy might say, "Git-r-done". I was wondering for those who may not be familiar with the idea if you could clarify using a different term. So in the vernacular of certain communities are you a BOTTOM or a TOP?

3. Cute, but I'm serious--what do we need to ask ourselves and each other? |
|
There are plenty of questions to ask Bush, as Cindy Sheehan has tried to do. This is a different topic. How can we expand our thinking?

6. Does the administration of elections by states and counties meet the |
|
criteria of equal access afforded by Brown vs. the Kansas Board of Education decision? Should all elections be administered at the federal level with the same technology, owned and operated by the state.
