New Thom Hartman Artical "How to Take Back A Stolen Election"

[truehawk]

Ironically, the Democratic Party knows how to highlight election fraud and start national movements to bring down administrations that try to steal elections. A Party-affiliated group has helped do it four times in the past four years.

But not in Ohio, Florida, or anywhere else in the USA.

Instead, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (Madeleine K. Albright, Chairman) has joined up with a similar organization affiliated with the Republican Party (the International Republican Institute - John McCain, Chairman), other NGOs, and US government agencies to support the use of exit polls and statistical analyses to challenge national elections in Ukraine, Serbia, Belarus, and the former Soviet republic of Georgia.

How To Take Back A Stolen Election
by Thom Hartmann

"Never again!" says the slogan in an email I received from an activist friend. "Never again will we allow a stolen election in the USA!"

But how are we going to stop it?

The major American political parties have an answer - it's already working for them in the Ukraine - but it's very much a sword that can cut two ways.

Interestingly, it was first used in the US. ......

1. "Carefully branded with a single-phrase slogan..."

I'd love to read what DU'ers come up with for the ultimate democracy-saving slogan.

How about, "I voted, who counted?"

2. Democrats are taking back the Ukraine?

3. I think that solves a big mystery.

Why did Kerry ask for donations toward recounts and promised to make sure every vote counted!
He meant Ukraine, of course!

4. Jeez, dude, what's up with the BIG RED FONT?!!!!!!!

Chill out a little bit.

Oh, and, um, the Mods will tell ya this anyway... but, per DU rules, only three paragraphs from a copyrighted source. Ya might wanna edit your post and snip that down before they come around and slap you on the hand.

Just a friendly note.

8. If the methodologies (with hard data)

for corrupting the vote in the Ukraine could be matched with doppelgangers in this US election, it would highlight the fraud in the US in a strikingly incontroverible way. Not to speak of any efforts by partisan judges to dismiss the evidence.

A constituency in the Ukraine might even be twinned with a constituency in the US...!
