The REAL News
Edited on Wed Nov-16-05 03:14 PM by Dover
I guess the NYT and Wash. Post are too busy being complicit enablers in the Plame case and other coverups to get out the REAL news.
Are YOU paying attention?

So here it is (as posted by 'lonestarnot'):

GAO report upholds Ohio vote fraud claims
By Joe Baker, Senior Editor

http://rockrivertimes.com/index.pl?cmd=viewstory&id=11529

As if the indictment of Lewis “Scooter” Libby wasn’t enough to give the White House some heavy concerns, a report from the Government Accounting Office takes a big bite out of the Bush clique’s pretense of legitimacy.
This powerful and probing report takes a hard look at the election of 2004 and supports the contention that the election was stolen. The report has received almost no coverage in the national media...cont'd

Not to mention that the PATRIOT ACT has been kept intact...permanently (and you can bet that both sides of the aisle wanted it that way).

Have a nice day. :)

6. Try this:
http://www.bradblog.com/Docs/GAOReport_ElectionSecurity_102105.pdf

I'm kind of fascinated that the GAO didn't focus similar attention on Gore's loss is 2000. They are focusing on Kerry's election instead. Well, I hope one fraud leads to the other...

9. Stop the Expansion of the Patriot Act !

Stop the Expansion of the U.S.A. Patriot Act

cross-posted at DailyKos.com

I wanted to provide you with an update on the status of the Patriot Act. The House and Senate are in conference to resolve the differences between their separate versions of the bill to renew and, in some cases, expand the Patriot Act. The House version contains far more egregious provisions than the Senate version, and I voted against it in the House. Among other things, the House bill does little to limit the government's ability to snoop into library and bookstore records to ascertain the reading habits of law abiding citizens, has no clarification on the use of "national security letters" (it has recently been reported that these letters are being used excess), and a near-permanent ten-year extension of the Act. The Senate version is only slightly better.

The conference committee had its first meeting Thursday and the Republicans are seeking to rush to an agreement and a final vote on the bill later this week. I am fighting against efforts to pass a bill that does not place checks and balances on the Patriot Act, but I need your help. This could be our last chance to put the brakes on the Patriot Act.

On my website, I have devoted a page to the Patriot Act with detailed information about the bill, reports from privacy groups, recent news articles, a letter to the editor form, and links to other sites where you can take action today. Please visit the site, write your local papers, and do whatever you can to help fight against this disastrous bill.
