People. We are starting to have an effect.
When I woke at 630 this morn here in miami 2 consecutive callers in to Doug Stefans saturday show were about the voting machines. I heard the term massive fraud mentioned.
Doug Stefan who is very centrist and not easily swayed to partisan issues did not dismiss it. He told the caller to get active and asked what he thought we could do about it. Darn near an endorsement from Stefan.
The backward counting in broward and the machines in ohio were part of the topic.


an avalance begins with a few pebbles.

1. As we type here...
Know that the meme is being injected into the body politic. Reaching the right levels of titration takes longer.

Handled correctly, titration will come.

2. can you call in or e-mail the show
to encourage him to mention Bev's fundraising for her FOIA request. . .?

http://blackboxvoting.org

It would be great for her to get more exposure, especially down there !

4. Don't give up. Call newsrooms of TV stations, radio
I did. I got no response from some, but a few young reporters eagerly took down the information about the electronic voting. Also, I've mentioned PNAC goals. Most of these newsrooms the people did not have a clue what PNAC was. Even if nothing gets done at first, we have planted the seeds.

slightly off topic but on topic of fighting back: I refused to purchase services with a contractor who supported *. I told him why! It really rankled him, but he could still smell my money and is going to call again to try to convince me! I almost had to take a shower after talking to him, it was like visiting freeperland. He wanted to explain why he supported * and talked about how he hated Iraqis and how we have to blow them all away because of 9/11 and how we had a right to their oil. It was disgusting and I have to say, refusing to do business with him made me feel good! I was proud of myself--I was firm at first then real passive aggressive--letting him think he may have a chance if he called again and being super polite. I didn't let my disgust with him show through, but it was hard. I'm beginning to learn how to deal with these devils. I'm beginning to understand why oppressed peoples have to fight back with unconventional means.

5. The opening call-in session on C-Span this morning
had calls on vote fraud, BBV, etc.

The host seemed really surprised. He kept saying, "Well, there were very few voting problems."

One caller talked about the failure of the system, with people standing in line, for hours & hours.

This call-in segment was for Dems only....what they could do to win future elections.
