One simple way to honor Andy. . .

On a whim I just sent this e-mail to ABC's "This Week."

To Whom it May Concern

I really appreciate the fact that you consistently honor those American lives lost in Iraq and Afghanistan more than any other network news show.

Another warrior sadly lost his battle with complications from pancreatic surgery last evening. He was a warrior, not in the so-called "war on terror," but in the uphill battle for verified voting in defense of our democracy.

His name was Andy Stephenson and he was a hero to many on the internet and a leader in the struggle to have greater accountability in our voting systems and true election reform. The support he received from the online community during his medical struggle was overwhelmingly moving.

You spend so much time speculating on elections, candidates, and polls, and no time whatsoever concentrating on the fact that the integrity of each and every vote has been severely compromised in the last several national elections.

Please consider affirming his selfless dedication and life's work by including him in your "In Memoriam" tribute segment of your show.

Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter.

Respectfully submitted,
xxxxxx

which all other rights are protected. To take away this right is to reduce a man to slavery." Thomas Paine

Please consider sending a similar request.

on edit- the thought just occured to me that all the photo's of Andy on the link I sent seemed to be of him during his hospitalization. If anyone has better picts of him, and is thinking about writing to ABC please attach a couple good ones. thanks
