I've got an idea!

[Gyre]

All the dems in congress JUST GO LIMP. Let the freepers rape the Constitution, the country, and the rest of the world w/impunity.

All our representatives posturing has done nothing to stop the freeper express to hell anyways. Let's just make it official!

My prediction is that if we let them do whatever they want, within 4 years we'll have congress back anyways. We're never going to get the presidency back so lets just try to get the congress while we can.

I shudder to think what might have happened had Jefferson remained silent in 1798. Keep screaming!

Do you think there would be anything left to have control of? Or would the election system be fixed? Or what about the thousands that will die? And all the jobs lost, bad health care, children that miss the education, ...

7. Every Democrat should attach this amendment to every piece of

legislation that they see:
The Fair election petition:
In the interests of fair elections we demand the following standards be instituted immediately for all electronic Ballot boxes and vote counting machines.

All programming instructions shall be written in open source code That code shall include no copy or include statements and all shall be hard coded. That code shall at all times be available for public inspection and pass independent third party certification for accuracy and reliability. After that certification the code and all hardware shall be secured no changes shall be allowed to the code or the hardware after certification.
The vote shall only be counted after a voter verified paper record of the vote has been created and retained.

All vote records and counts shall be transferred by verifiable physical means. Any CD DVD TAPE or other transfer medium shall be labeled with the counts and a date time stamp. All records and counts shall be reviewed and verified for validity and accuracy.

No modems INTERNET connections or telephone connections will be allowed at any stage of the vote counting process.

Then filibuster let nothing pass until this is the law.

9. Withold IRS Payments - No Taxation without Representation!

Here's another thought - the basic crime of Votergate is dis-enfranchisement, denying us our right to choose elected representatives.

In a way, this same issue motivated the American Revolution, and led to the tactic represented by the famous saying "No taxation without representation".

The same justification applies to the current situation, and the same remedy: People who feel they have been ripped off politically should withhold their taxes to the IRS.
