SILENCE, What do we do to break it
when it comes to the Election theft machines? SILENCE in the MEDIA and our Government is the only thing that is holding us back from telling the TRUTH about these election theft machines, How do we get the story out to the people? Lets show these F*cking Assh*les WHAT WE ARE MADE OF. Any Ideas, "CRAZY OR SANE" lets go for it.

1. Maybe we have to come up with a "marketing strategy"
We have tried the writing to the editor, Conyers tried press releases etc. we have so many citizen groups working their a***s off...

Who would have thought it will come to this: having to sell the truth.

2. The Voter Confidence Resolution, Catalyzing Peaceful Revolution
Last year we got the Arcata, CA City Council to adopt the Voter Confidence Resolution which declares that current election conditions ensure inconclusive outcomes; a comprehensive election reform platform is needed to create a new basis for confidence in election results; and in the meantime the Consent of the Governed should not be assumed. We are working at spreading this to other towns.

We are also having a community forum on non-violent revolution next Saturday. We have to think of election reform not as a goal unto itself but as a tactic in the peaceful revolution. We have to spread the idea that non-violent revolution is necessary, NOW, due to an illegitimate government that operates without regard for the law or our unalienable rights. Has the Consent of the Governed been withdrawn, YET?

6. Of course I agree
And I think the steps we are taking here in Humboldt are what you seem to be seeking. To stand up in the manner you are describing requires that we withdraw our complicity and Consent in a morally and legally bankrupt system. We need civil disobedience on every level, especially on the city and county level. That means local government choosing to "do no harm" to its community through further cooperation with the federal government.

Traditional aspects of civil disobedience revolve around non-cooperation and non-participation; the Voter Confidence Resolution also brings non-recognition, a denial of the government's claim to legitimacy. This should be so appealing to election reformers because it is built upon our understanding that current election conditions make it impossible to know the true outcome of an election. It is our clarion call for transparency and verifiability, and our refusal to accept anything less. It is also how we bring election reform into its proper context, meaning, it is not its own goal but a tactic toward peaceful revolution that must occur if we are going to re-establish living conditions that prevent spying on Americans and other egregious violations of our Constitution.

Am I failing to connect the dots you are trying to use to frame the discussion in this thread?

7. Your doing fine
I just need a thread every once in a while, with a little RAGE in it. We are dealing CROOKS and people in our Government that remain silent even at their own peril. That silence sickens me.

8. Huffington Post has shown us the way....
In a little over 24 hours 376 unique visitors have seen

http://bushcheated04.cf.huffingtonpost.com/

It is the third fastest rising entry on Contagious Festival. There is no doubt in my mind that people are clicking on it because I titled it "In the time of chimpanzees Bush was a monkey" rather than Stolen election or Bush Cheated. This is a Daily Show treatment of election fraud. We'd be foolish not to milk it with all we've got.

Send the link above to all the progressives you know and urge them to send it to everyone they know. And remember many a true word is said in jest.

In the time of chimpanzees Bush was a monkey,
Butane in Rove’s veins as he ran the junkie.
Newscasters lying while we tube feed the vegetables,
Dog food dinners for the grannies stealin’ Tylenol.
Kill all your brain cells and put it in neutral,
Iraq is flamin’ with the loser and the cruise control.
Babies in Gitmo is how Rummy plays D,
Gamble with democracy, try to kill diplomacy.

Someone came sayin’ I’m insane to complain
About a looted treasury and a stain on my country.
Can’t believe what they want us to breathe,
You get a lungful of mercury and a moron in the lead. (Medicare, cut it)

So you change some votes with a few keystrokes
Doin’ cages in Florida, and lines in Ohio.

George says he’s emperor
But he’s a cheater baby
He stole the election (fascism meltdown)
George says he’s emperor
But he’s a loser baby
So why not impeach him.

Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare,
Playing all the rubes with a phony echo chamber.
One is a weasel as the others sport the flag;
A mother alone gets her son back in a bag

With the rerun wars from Mr. Cocaine nose job,
The devious bullshit of a race war flip flop
A GI hung himself with a guitar string;
A slab of cannon fodder and he’s hanging so he doesn’t sing.

I can’t write if you can’t relate,
Trade the cash for a gay bash for the body for the hate.
And this time it’s a piece of crack
We’ve fallen for the bad times, we’re choking on the nightmares.


George says he’s emperor
But he’s a cheater baby
He stole the election (fascism meltdown)
George says he’s emperor
But he’s a loser baby
So why not impeach him.


“If this were a dictatorship it’d be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I’m the dictator.”


George says he’s emperor
But he’s a cheater baby
He stole the election. (I can’t believe this)
George says he’s emperor
But he’s a loser baby
So why not impeach him.

George says he’s emperor
We’re all losing baby
So we’ve got to change it (Sprechen sie Deuthsche baby?).
George says he’s emperor
We’re all losing baby
So we’ve got to change it. (Or there’ll be nothin’ to be sayin’).

George says he’s emperor
We’re all losing baby
So we’ve got to change it. (I can’t believe this)
George says he’s emperor
We’re all losing baby
So we’ve got to change it.
