Andy! Robert Pastor on CSPAN right now lying his ass off
This is the Exec Director of the Commission on Federal Election Reform.

He's dismissing any case for vote manipulating, right out of hand.

He's part of the corruption.

Someone help me nail this b@stard.

3. Thanks. I 've only gotten through once, when I basically
dialed before they announced the phone lines.

This is seriously bad news. Or, maybe to be expected. Oh boy, now will do a search on this Pastor creature. He's dirty and have to find out how.

4. I posted some background on Pastor here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=351775#351946

As you will see, he should be one of the "good guys". So I am becoming more and more convinced both the Repubs and Dems are trying to cover the fraud up.

6. Sheesh! After reading this, I'm wishing Congress had a big
"FLUSH" handle and all the congressmen (except those few we rescued) would spin down the drain like the Tidybowl man. Most seem to be equivalent to what normally goes down that drain anyhow. Now THAT would make voting a whole lot easier!

8. It seems to me
like the Bush people are in stage two: fighting us. They know we know they stole it and are trying to prove it. That's why they're doing this and sending these people out. To show that Bush really did "win" the election. I watched a few minute's of the election reform on CSPAN last night during commercials of the FDR documentary and I saw them listening to some woman and she was talking about how some polling places don't help people and they need people who know what they're doing and feel comfortable to help people who are disabled so they can vote and then this one guy was on talking about statitcs and I guess he was talking about how numbers have gone down of people voting from 2000 to 2004 and they showed Baker and he was just smiling and smirking like how Bush does when he knows he gets away with something.

14. They'll post a video to the site.
I don't know about a transcript.

This guy is definitely a ringer.

15. We should get a transcript and use this guy's remarks
to call our Dem congress people. It's pretty obvious this is a no reform reform commission. Why are we paying for it?

17. Called Nancy Pelosi's office
Edited on Tue Apr-19-05 01:50 PM by sfexpat2000
She's my rep but as minority leader, she's representing all of us as well.

I know Nancy has to pick her fights but this one needs to get picked. I was transferred to the legislative office and asked the staffer if Nancy had a public position on this commission. No. Okay, then I explained why it was stacked -- using Mr. Pastor's performance this morning as an illustration. (So, maybe I should thank the guy for proving our point.)

Pelosi's Offices:

D.C.:202 225-4965

San Francisco:415 556-4862

Link to email form:http://www.house.gov/pelosi/contact/contact.html

I don't know if anyone has the moral energy to take this up. But, we've been paying for a truckload of b#llshit under Bush. Republican rallies, "abstinence" websites, and my personal favorite, Pentagon investigations of itself.

We need real reform not a fake commission that will yield another fake report -- all at our expense. :nuke:

Nancy needs to take this up and so does Boxer -- especially in light of the recent developments in California. Their interest should be peaking, right about now.

18. Called Barbara's office and did the same.
Her staffer was patient and taking notes.

I made a point of reminding her that this electronic voting problem is at this moment coming home to both Nancy and Barbara.
