Make no mistake. They are going down.

Encourage all to walk, no run, to a voter registration spot. We have 'em out side grocery stores here in CA.

Vote. Uphold the Constitution, even if they won't!

1. Yeah what would happen if
...on election day, despite 'official delay' of the elections, thousands and millions of people across the country took off work and went to their regular polling places, demanding to exercise their Constitutional right to vote ??

5. You're missing my point ....
If ANSWER got 1 Mil plus to show up in NY spring 2003 to protest the impending invasion of Iraq, why couldn't they or anyone else organize that many to show up at the various precincts in NY and across the country, with 'write in ballots' (as it were) and their voter registration cards, to vote ???

A massive, massive display of civil obedience - citizens there to participate in democracy and do their civic duty of casting their vote for President of the US ? Precincts and gov't offices would be overrun, publicity would be incredible, and Bush would have to have a DAMN GOOD reason why the elections weren't held as they should have been.

Not to mention, how are they possibly going to get away with arresting properly registered people for trying to VOTE ???

Instead of "What if they held a war and nobody showed up", think: What if they called off the election but everyone showed up to vote anyway ?

Does anyone see where I am going with this ?? ....

:shrug:

2. Yes, the Bush* admin is not above democracy.
'We the people' must not allow the democratic process to be disrupted from within, by these cretins no less. If we do...we're doomed.
