1. We need to start marching BEFORE the election so they can actually
see our numbers.

It would be a beautiful thing if the Saturday before the election, everyone that plans to vote for the Democrats, in every town, big and small, took to the streets and carried signs that said....

I"m voting for ______ Lamont etc.


That would be wonderful!

16. That is a terrific idea. Plus it would encourage anyone thinking about not
voting to go ahead and get out and vote.

4. Thank you for the pictures. We must take to the streets this time.
Jefferson said that if the government is not doing as it should the people can overthrow it. Madison said the power should be in the hands of the people not the government.

8. Bingo - they've been working on many layers of the fix every day since the
last election. They start their groundwork for the next election right after inauguration.

They learned in 2000 to steal it years before.

The DNC was charged with countering their tactics thru the Voter Integrity office created after 2000. How did they do?

Better question - what the fuck were they doing for four years?

17. And if the fraud fails they'll turn on a dime and play up the insecurity
of the vote count and try to make the elections illegitimate. The media will do whatever it takes to benefit the fascists.

6. Yes.
It's past time we hit the streets. No excuses. They will no doubt test their "non-lethal" weapons on us, but we can't let that stop us.

Air Force chief: Test weapons on testy U.S. mobs

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/09/12/usaf.weapons.ap/index.html

It will show the world the true face of what this country has become under jr's rule when peaceful protests are greeted with this kind of brutal reaction. (NOt that they don't already know...)

7. Absolutely
Let them come after us with microwaves, tear gas and live ammo.

If they deny us the right to take the governemtn back through the ballot box, we will take it back in the streets.

11. Here's my plan.
After I vote on a touchscreen, I'm going to a notary and signing a statement that gives my name, address, voting district, and a statement of how I voted. Then I'm sending it to Jimmy Carter at the Carter Center. I don't know if anyone else would want to do that, but if a lot of anyone elses did . . . wouldn't it be interesting? Worth the cost of a notary in my book.

12. That sounds like a great idea.
Would you be opposed to posting this separately.
I'd be your first recommend.
If we could spread the word to do this, at least we'd have a record to prove who we voted for, it wouldn't have any legal implications but would get the election fraud issue out there for the world to see.

21. I think there should be a place for everyone
that wants to say how they voted,unless we have a signed receipt like a credit card.

I would gladly and proudly say how I voted.

Everyone should have a receipt number like the lottery.

I should be able to know immediately if my vote was counted correctly.
