4. I agree, unfortunately he looks like a wacko |

it's sad that a nice blue suit and tie are de rigueur in our society to be taken seriously

And the ad hominem attacks. Miller is really good isn't he? I would be incoherent with rage.

Elections happen on one day, of course they are, and always have been rigged. Money votes every day, why not encourage folks to vote with their wallets every day? http://Drive55.org & http://PeaceTraintoDC.com

10. That's fine, too. But we've got to restore the integrity of the vote. |
|
That is the ESSENCE of our democracy.

25. Direct Democracy, Daily |
|
I am suggesting that our daily financial choices are what drives the election system in the first place.

Guess they don't have much else? Robb: so are we just "stuck" with the results?" MCM - nothing in Constitution. new election unlikely.

19. American Center for Voting Rights |
|
Friedman provided some interesting history about the origins of the commission. He discovered that an organization used to counter the Conyers investigation of Ohio voter suppression was created just three days before that group testified before a Republican controlled House committee. Headed by two Republican operatives, Mark F. Thorburn and Jim Dyke, the group called itself the American Center for Voting Rights. Shortly after the “Baker-Carter” Commission was announced, Friedman’s investigative work revealed that Mark F. Thorburn was on the commission’s advisory panel, a key policy making part of that effort. At that point, Friedman said he knew that “the fix was in from the get go.” Friedman went on to provide a critique of the recommendations and the lack of urgency the commission had for a severely compromised system. He reminded the gathering, “We are David. They are Goliath. But let me remind you that in the end, David won.”

14. PLEASE EXPLAIN! This is driving me crazy! I just clicked to here from |
|
another forum that ALSO DOESN'T explain. I wouldn't mind the dwelling on his appearance so much if SOMEBODY here would reveal the CONTENT!
(And why assume that the American people want to continue seeing suits telling them lies? That is not necessarily true at all.)

Interested in the truth, wherever it leads and stressing the danger to our democracy from anyone messing with the vote.
