12. It is 2006 now.
Edited on Sat Jan-14-06 11:49 AM by Clarkie1
I'm not sure if you are referring to 2008 or 2006, as the elections that were stolen were Presidential ones.

What must happen is that we must win by overwhelming margins, not slim majorities. And we must fight for paper trails and to have every vote counted. Electoral reforms will happen through the legislative branch, not the judicial. I am not so pessimistic as to believe that we cannot win elections in 06', or that all hope is lost.

We have to win overwhelmingly, and I think one thing that will help is as unpopular judicial decisions go down, the people will begin to rise up in larger numbers. Once we have the legistative and executive branches back, the people will have the power irregardless of appointment of Alitio to the court.

Edit: in order to win overwhelmingly both in 06' and 08', the "far left" must turn-out in large numbers irregardless if the candidate is a "far left" candidate. This is as crucial as independent and cross-over voters joining the the cause. If either one of these groups fail to turn out in large numbers, we will fail to regain either the congress or the white house.
