6. FUNDING HELP Sought for Busby/Bilbray hand count...
See: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1586715&mesg_id=1586837

A Line in the Sand
Why the Busby/Bilbray Election Matters (or Should) to the Entire Nation…
(HINT: It's not about Busby or Bilbray or San Diego or even California!)

My reporting here, and the concerns expressed about the Busby/Bilbray election results as announced, have little or nothing to do with Francine Busby or Brian Bilbray or even, in particular, the June 6th U.S. House special run-off election in California's 50th congressional district.

It has only a tiny bit more to do with San Diego. And only slightly more than that to do with California.

It has everything, however, to do with democracy. Across the entire country. As opposed to any one race in any one area.

If I've not been clear on that until now, please allow me to set the record straight.

The concerns I've reported — and will continue to report — over the blatant disregard for the rule of law and clear illegalities endorsed and encouraged by the SD County Registrar of Voters, Mikel Haas, and apparently approved at this point by California's Secretary of State Bruce McPherson, have everything to do with the future viability of democracy in this country in general, and a perhaps naive hope that there's a chance in hell that taking action now will help to salvage a shred of legitimacy for this November's election...
