SMILE: We Picked Up Momentum This Week
The BBV thing and NH results aside, this was a pretty good week:

>More MSM coverage has occurred
>The Kerry camp DID something in Ohio
>We raised enough for the Washington recount
>The AP is reporting Bush's smaller win
>The Judiciary Committee letter!!!
>CSPAN devoted a half hour to Arnebeck
>Blackwell is on the defensive

All told, this has been a pretty good week. Feel free to (in fact please do) list anything missed.

6. The journey is long and the road treacherous,
but good always prevails over evil (chimps).

10. Maybe I am just a moron, and these are not facts,
But it seems to me, that whenever there is a recount the Dem's always pick up votes?

is that right?

why is that if it is?

13. Actually, since the personality problem is resolved...
maybe KO will have a credible election fraud advocate on his show, and we will win on that front, too. Since the personality encumbered the movement, maybe when the personality is gone, the movement will get the attention it deserves, instead of the personality getting the attention.

15. Oh yeah, the indictment.
Gives us some legitimacy for countering those who say the GOP would never commit fraud.

16. I hate to beat a dead horse....
(is that the proper saying?) but the BBV-related movie has been posted to the internet at www.votergate.tv You can see a demo of how easy it is to manipulate vote results on the Diebold central tabulators using MS Access.

20. NBC report which downsizes the Hispanic support for Mr. Tatertot
Unprecedented, as they said, to issue such a report.

25. RE: NH --well, Professor Phillips in OH and
others have posted data here re: Demo votes being transferred to third party candidates. Indeed, blackboxvoting.org found that a pivotal 16,000 votes for Gore were so transferred in 2000, setting off a false impression about Bush there.
They also list CA, and OH as places where third party candidates were given Demo votes.
Could've happened in NH, too. They lost track of a poll tape there prior to completing the Nader "recount". Did they ever find it?
Now, I see a post here indicating they "lost" another poll tape in OH, just as they "lost" some in FL that blackboxvoting was able to find in the trash...
