Be glad! The Repukes missed a GOLDEN opportunity!!!!
They had a tremendous opportunity to show their "moral value" by publically condemning acts of suppression, but they DIDN'T.

They spewed venom and scoffed at the rights of ALL voters. We should focus our message in that way.

"Republicans believe minority voters do not matter!"

1. I know! They wrapped it up and tied it with a bow!
Pretty cool gift. Just a little late.

Burn some DVDs of it and distribute!

8. A good idea but this has to be done bigger.
You need people with big bucks to place ads all over the TV showing what happened.

This has to emerge past the already labled conspiracy theory to become part of the mainstream.

If all of the Democratic Senators and Congresspeople stood together in solidarity, we would not have this problem.

The more shock the people will be when they see your DVD

14. Put rethug words and evidence together with music
contrast it to Boxe and words of our other heroes. Maybe Bruce could allow us to use No Retreat - No Surrender so that we can once again listen to that song without crying. I am praying that there are some talented folks out there who could work on putting something together before the coronation.

16. Brilliant. A great composite of their stupid remarks intercut
with real proof of fraud/suppression.

4. Suppression is one of their tools....
because in actuality, they're racist (with some exceptions).

6. True i dont want to be anywhere near
them - i used to frequent a board with a mix of Dem's and neo-nuts. but i cant go back there. i just cant even talk to them anymore. They sound just like the people in congress and senate and rush and o Reilly. just a waste of time.

empty arguments and talking points. cant do it to myself anymore. i now see it is useless. if its going on in the house at the highest places in our government how on earth can we expect their people to have respect for the basic simple rules of everyday life.

15. Excellent point.
They could have said that they regretted any appearance, etc. of suppression etc. but it was time to certify votes. They would have both stolen the election and looked reasonable at the same time. Instead, they are on video record making incredibly stupid remarks, e.g. DeWhiner, R, OH, about how great the electoral system is there.

Holy cow, these guys are bozos. The only way they win is with 100% over the top behavior, which can't go on for much longer with out some serious repercussions.

18. Can you please give a direct link for the written record?
I would like the written text copy of the contest, then the debate in the Senate and in the House.

I have video of the entire event from before congress met, during the tally of the electoral college, the contest, the debates in the House and in the Senate, phone-in calls from viewers, and after the event with the CBC. I'm going to try to put it all together and edit properly and get it burned to DVD. I have a friend whom will hopefully help since I don't have a DVD burner.

I watched it live on C-SPAN, got the House debate, but missed the live coverage of the Senate. Got that though when they repeated late last night on C-SPAN2. I've watched it 2 times now, very powerful. You can see just how pathetic the Repugs really are. Who can possibly be against free and fair elections, whether you are Democrat, Progressive Dem, Independent, Green, Republican or other? Well the Neocon Repugs are and they are loud and clear about it. What better way to show who they really are and to force election reform.

We absolutely have to get the entire historical event from beginning to end, on DVD for worldwide distribution. Everybody needs a copy or more, just keep burning new copies from a 1st generation copy and just keep handing them out.

22. Ok I'm feeling lazy . . .
How about the actual links to the contest and debates. I've got the mainpage now, but when searching for the actual text (frustration) you are going to make me work. Thanks :)

25. Beth in VT, Thank you! You should make a seperate thread with these . . .
links if it hasn't been done already. Not only is this a great resource for yesterday's historical event, I learned about a new (at least to me) resource that is very powerful for following what is happening on the hill. Thank You. This is really good stuff.:bounce:
