1. Good...I'm sure Republicans will share in their desire to make sure

our elections are clean, fair, and transparent. Surely they, having the popular majority/mandates/values on their side, would have nothing to fear from making sure democracy is being protected in this country.

3. Hi Jackster...Meehan's my Rep also....I went to a town hall meeting
in 2003 and hand delivered all the info I could find on BBV. I told him that 2000 was their fault (stealing it) 2004 will be our fault if we allow it. Damn, this was so preventable.
