Put up or shut up! I gave to BlackBoxVoting.org today
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 06:58 PM by neohippie
Calling all hands to the front line of the voter fraud investigation.

I gave today, using Paypal, you can contribute many ways from their site at www.blackboxvoting.org


Bev Harris and the folks at Black Box Voting (.org NOT .com) need your financial support now. If you can give them any financial contribution please, don't wait. At the very least even if no fraud can be proved, we can push for voter reform and some type of paper ballot so that accurate recounts can be conducted when necessary.

Also, there must be error checking built into machines so that when the disk is full and votes can no longer be recorded, that an alarm will sound or the machine will no longer allow voters to vote until their vote can be stored properly.

Please pass along the word and see to it the BlackBoxVoting.Org gets all the financial support it needs to conduct this fight.

Thanks

2. Don't have it
Kerry supposedly, according to what I read, has millions in reserve to challenge the vote should it have been necessary and a team of thousands of lawyers--what happened to all of that and why are we now being asked to contribute MORE money?

I am increasing becoming weary of all of this money going out for causes when the people I supported, including the ACLU, are not forthcoming and are not uttering a word having anything to do with vote recounts or challenges. What has happened to all of that money?

3. I sent them cash last Friday...
It was the money I owed a * supporter for the bet on the election. She told me I had 2 choices, to pay her $1 a month until it was paid off or to give it to a church.

Since I am not one that frequents one established church (I am a parish gypsy, but refuse to attend mass during the election because of my diocese's right wing lean) I sent my bet payoff to BBV.

I figured the election and my interests in politics and my political views are all tied to my understanding of the message of Christ and what true Christianity is, the money belonged to the efforts to right the moral wrong that is 4 more years of the weed that would be king.

14. Snail Mail
I posted this on Friday but will do it again if you want to donate via snail mail send to:

Black Box Voting
Box 25552
Seattle, WA 98165

That way BBV doesn't have to pay the credit card company part of the contributions and your total donation will go to BBV - according to a BBV spokesperson on Mike Malloy Friday evening.
