30. Nope. We meet the American heroes every day
We're toting one American hero around with us on this trip -- because both Andy and I tend to be recognized, we need an incognito.

I can hardly wait to break the news of who she is. You'll LOVE her. She has really earned her stripes on this trip, not to mention making us laugh ourselves silly.

And the American heroes who come to us to tell us what is really going on, at the risk of losing their jobs -- obviously, the documents referenced in this thread have much to do with real Americans who don't want their democracy to evaporate.

Andy does what I call "Johnny Applevoter." He talks the BBV issue to everyone he meets -- gas station employees. The guy cleaning out the closet at the motel. The desk clerk. The waiter. The windshield repairman.

Andy was eloquent yesterday in Austin.

American heroes are all over the place. It's the assholes who want to remove all transparency (the minority) who motivate the heroes.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

Andy and I have been talking about this. Many signs indicate that there will be efforts to cause a paper ballot fiasco, to pave the way for VoteHere and nontransparent solutions. But we couldn't figure out how.

He just called me. Hmmm...create such shit conditions for your employees that you have the people in your (single) ballot printing plant for the whole USA go on strike. We need to let the U.S. know about this so the media can embarrass Diebold into having a Plan B ballot printer.

Andy's another American hero.

Bev
