Why do we go crazy when someone posts unsubstantiated re-posts? [View All]

There is a thread out there claiming that Sen. Kennedy is not going to stand up. The origin of the claim is another post on another forum by an unknown poster claiming to have called the senator's office. Now, I don't know about you guys, but I have a problem with these types of posts.

I could easily post that I called Kerry's office and the person at the other end corrected me when I called him Senator Kerry. I could easily lie and say "they said call him Pres. Elect Kerry". This would start all sorts of rumbles and all you guys would have is my word that the call happened.

The other post is someone's post that they called an office and spoke to someone. The call could have happened, but, they could have spoken to the janitor or a repug intern that happened to have grabbed the phone while there delivering something.

We need to (1) remember that Conyers has yet to send his report to all of congress, and , (2) focus on impressing upon our reps the importance of taking a stand against election fraud.

This was not the weed's election or Kerry's election, it was our election. They stole it from us, we were voting to elect a person to hold our office, to represent our needs for 4 years. We were not giving them the office, they do not own it. IT IS OURS.

The basic question to put to our reps is how can they support a war that is supposed to be bringing democracy and free elections to another nation, yet they close their eyes to the failing of our elections and our democracy? How could they fund another nations election process and stand against election fraud in that nation, based on exit polls, yet ignore the blatant discrepancies between the exit polls and the results here at home?

Stop reacting to "rumors" and continue with taking positive action, action calling on our reps to take a stand for us and our democracy.
