Dr. Miller will be speaking on the importance of reclaiming elections for the American people. In Fooled Again, Miller argues that it wasn't "moral values" that swung the 2004 presidential election, but theft - and that it's a harbinger of elections to come. Miller says that the pattern of anomalies, improper procedures and blatant violations of the law in state after state constitute the new Republican electoral strategy and that we can expect to see it employed in 2006 and 2008 if concerned citizens don't take action to prevent it from happening.

3. New name, old crew...Election Defense Alliance...

I'm not talking about the age of the members, just the time they've been on the seen. Two of the founders, Jonathan Simon and Hal Ashby, are long time proponents of serious advocacy and positions. Nice to see them out there with MCM and the Ballot group.

thanks, K&R
