People i am worried

[adarling]

What are we going to do? I am reading about voting irregularities being reported in Virginia already!! I am so upset, i know that we are nowhere close to fixing this but for shits sake why can't we get our act together and do something about it? Maybe i am just going crazy right now but i feel like the world is crashing all around us. What can we do as a group? I want to get involved somehow on a national scale but it seems impossible. I say tonight should be a rallying cry and if these irregularities prove to be true we go to the streets and do what our forefathers did before us- we have a tea party of our own with those damn Diebold machines!! :rant: :patriot:

1. Don't Wait for the Group to Act

Follow your head and your heart and do what you think you need to do! Others will follow your lead....

2. voting

It is imperative that everyone participate in exit polls. Be sure to tell the nice person who you voted for!

4. Election Day Hotline number 1-866-OUR-VOTE

This is from Verified Voting -

Voters in many states will be deciding important issues by voting Tuesday, November 8, 2005. No matter where you stand on any of the issues or candidates, all eligible voters should have the chance to cast their ballots effectively.

If you experience any problem casting your ballot -- finding the polling place, voter intimidation, accessibility issues, voting machine problems, provisional ballot issues, etc. -- or you witness anyone having voting problems, please immediately call 1-866-OUR-VOTE to report the problem. Please let others know too... the same number works nationwide.

Verified Voting Foundation volunteers and staff have developed a new version of the "Election Incident Reporting System" (EIRS) to record all problems reported to 1-866-OUR-VOTE. Since 2004, hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals in the United States have used EIRS to help protect our right to vote and assure that every vote is counted as cast. If you'd like to know more about EIRS, please visit VerifiedVotingFoundation.org and Voteprotect.org


Remember: 1-866-OUR-VOTE. To tell your friends: http://www.demaction.org/dia/organizations/vevo/tellafriend.jsp?tell_a_friend_KEY=502


Now go vote!

5. I've been suspicious since Bush went there at the last minute.

I remember his similar last-minute show in Ohio.

7. And it's not just machines. It's suppressed voting in Dem areas...

and fundamentalist churches electioneering, despite their tax exempt status, and sending fundamentalist voters in robotic droves to the polls, giving them power far beyond their numbers. I'm less than hopeful today -- but praying for a good night.

8. We better figure out how to fix this

And we better start soon.

14. An email campaign to media demanding they cover recent GAO report?

It is astounding that no one in the main stream media is covering this story.

Our democracy is in peril, if we cannot trust that our votes are counted accurately. For some reason, they just don't seem to get it.

[tatertop]

15. Nope. We have to physically visit our senators -

in large numbers. email does shit...
marching does less.

9. And yet CNN reports today of the CA church that is being audited by IRS

because they said Jesus would not approve of the Iraq War.

It is obvious our WEP (Worst Ever President) is using the IRS to punish those who dared to speak up against his immoral, unjust and unnecessary war in Iraq--now the Occupation of Iraq.

10. then they should do the same to the FUNDIE churches

how about the church that kicked those people out that voted for Kerry, what happened to them?

[blm]

12. So basically, fundie churches are shaking them out even though the voter

may have preferred to stay out of this one? You bet. They call you at home if they notice you haven't voted yet.

They pulled that tactic last year, too, for Bush.

13. Lying fliers ala Baltimore have been making the rounds, too

Will wrong voting and poll info... mainly aimed at poor, black neighborhoods.

Scum can't even fight fair... cheaters.
