If all the org. that called us for money, educated the public on Blackbox
voting, we would have won the election. I got calls from Veteran organizations, the ACLU, Interfaith Alliance, NARAL, DNC the Mass Democratic party and others.

I gave to them all AFTER they got my rant. WHY are you so focused on raising money to defeat Bush? You can have all the money in the world and we will still lose if they control the machines and the voting. I begged them to get educated on the subject, gave them Bev's web site as a starting point and asked them to then pass on what they've learned to their members.

Can you imagine the power of all these groups coupled with the millions in unions, if the Labor Unions educated themselves and their members on this subject?

Our so called leaders will never straighten out this voting debacle. We the People must do it.

So when someone calls for money, I'm now saying, not another Penny until I see you take a stand on our voting procedures and do what you can to educate and mobilize the people. We can overcome this, but only if we ban together.

I will also keep on my Reps. back about doing what he can do to get a paper trail legislation passed. Even if he can't get it passed, it is inexcusable that he hasn't informed his constituents on this issue.
