A short Tribute to Bev and Andy re:BBV
The events today in California are a true vindication of the persistence and sheer will power of Bev Harris and Andy.

When I first came to DU ('bout 1-1/2 years ago)I observed the BBV threads carefully and noticed that Bev was taking a lot of heat, but she was determined.

After today, Bev will not be considered a "conspiracy theorist" in any sense of the word. Proof: It ain't a conspiracy if it's true.

Thanks Bev for your hard work.

Thanks Andy also.

You're fighting for all of us.

:toast:

3. It's not just a theory if it's proven. It's still a conspiracy, though.

Thanks Bev, Andy, David Dill, GregD, and many others for helping to shed some light on it :toast:

4. I agree.
conspiracy=crime or immorality by more than one person acting together

6. I concede your point
I think I should have said that she won't be ridiculed anymore.

Can I get an "amen" on that?

They may well have just saved California, and I don't think I'm exaggerating that much.

12. If you really want to honor Bev and Andy......
Pitch in with a donation to Black Box Voting and Andy Stephenson's Campaign.
Ask your local library to order Black Box Voting, Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century or order a copy for yourself or someone you love.
(Talion Publishing, Bookstore & Library Edition: ISBN 1-890916-90-0, $19.95 + $5.00 S&H.)

To order from Bev Harris or mail a donation:
330 SW 43rd St
PMB K-547
Renton WA 98055
Call 425-228-7131
e-mail: talion@ix.netcom.com

If you can't afford to donate or buy a book (or two), you can pitch in simply by writing a letter, sending a fax or e-mail or just making a phone call to your state and local elections officials and politely demanding paper ballots for auditing your local elections. Between us we have the power to change things but we ALL have to ACT!
If you haven't contacted your officials please do it NOW.

Godlike as they are, they can't do this alone. We all need to do whatever we can. It's much easier than a second civil war. :)

18. What Pat Said
Roll up your sleves and get busy.

Write your congress people, state legislators, and local officials.

CC some of those letter to the press!

Then volunteer to help with voting.

There can be no excuse that they can't count paper ballot by hand if they have to. Give them the means to do it and they're going to have a hard time saying they can't.

Someone keep a list and publish the names of volunteers. Make it obvious democracy can work via the will of the people.

22. Frieda <sp>
was what we believed back in the early days of BBV on DU, a Diebold plant. She/He would come in and spout a bunch of shit in support of Diebold and BBV and it was quite obvious to us all that she had an agenda. She's long gone now and so each time Bev and gang wins another round against BBV, I mention Frieda....
