3. Buzzflash Premium - "Electile Dysfunction" a Take Back the Media FILM!
We made a DVD and it's for sale on Buzzflash right now -- Here's the scoop:

BuzzFlash's Recommendation

"We've posted links from and collaborated with Take Back The Media before. The work they do is always visually engaging, passionate, informed, pro-democracy, and antihypocrisy, which makes it a perfect fit with BuzzFlash and our readers.

When TBTM told us of their new film on election fraud and the 2004 elections, we wanted to help get the word out because -- not having seen much more than the trailer -- knew it was something our readers would enjoy.

We'll let Take Back the Media take over:"

For instance, do you know if you have a Constitutional right to have your vote counted, or for you to vote at all?

The 2004 election is no different than its predecessors except the potential for fraud was higher than ever seen before. Our cameras focused on irregularities in Florida and other states between reported results and exit poll results. Harassment and voter intimidation was a frequent sight at polling places -- and we've got it all on film.

Our award winning team is a mix of the musical masters and film magic-makers of Peopletopeople.tv, and one of the inventors of the political Flash attack ad - not only did Micheal Stinson of Takebackthemedia.com win a Hollywood award for his animation work (which is included in the film, bringing Monty-Pythonish humor to the subject) but the combined team created one of the 14 ads chosen from 1600 entries in the MoveOn.org "Bush in 30 seconds" contest.

Plus, Micheal has been seen fighting for our rights on cable news, including MSNBC, CNN, and FOX's The O'Reilly Factor show.
In short, we deliver - and we have a lot of fun doing it along the way. We get the whole story.

***

Take Back the Media.com has been travelling for the last year (while spending over $50 thousand dollars) working on this film - just back from Florida and busy adding the animation touches to our film..

Please hop on over to Buzzflash, read all about our film and help us all get the word out as we all work to save our democracy - have an "Electile Dysfunction" house party!

9. No
I've been here for years, many of my posts are about my flash political attack animations, some are about all the work TBTM has done in the progressive world - some about our work with Moveon, etc..

why not take a look at the site?

We got over a 100 million hits in our first year.. I'm not here pandering, I'm letting people know about an important movie on an important subject where there happens to be more than one authority..

Greg Palast for instance, we have HOURS of his fine interviews we went through..

is that okay? should I shut up about electronic voting, even tho we spent tens of thousands of dollars investigating it?

10. No, just checking!
I just saw like 5 of those posts today, so was wondering if you just popped on to plug the DVD. Keep up the good work. And I will check out the site.

7. They are taking their sweet time counting
That is one of the tactics the Rethugs use.
Note in the pollbook link some were told they could not see the books until the election was certified, which Blackwells spokesman has said will be around Dec 6. (which is not what Ohio law says by the way)

THEN they put a seal on the books and the next trick is to loose them in transit for a couple of months.

12. if you connect all the dots you have a meal but the nat media won't
Local papers all over the country have documented election problems/irregularities/fraud/machine malfunctions. But the national media refuses to connect the dots for us. if the national media connected the dots fraud would be obvious to every citizen.
