Will William Pitt be the next leader on voting fraud issues?
Just asking. With Bev Harris going down, who's going to be the next leader? He seems well positioned for that. Will, any comments? Thanks!

31. good ansah!!!!
William Rivers Pitt I just named you as one of the motivational leaders on DU (not including your ownfollowing on Truthout.)

As you can see from my name i can appreciate anyone willing to bring the truth to the table( just pay no attention to my english composition - it was not my major in school.)

After this is all over( if it is all over) I will be following your truth speaking articles and if you can refer me to any other truth seeking media it would be appreciated.


William Rivers Pitt- I believe, you believe.

2. Like Bev Harris, Will does get a lot of replies to his posts.
So maybe you have a point there.

7. Negative vibes? Not at all. Will is a great writer, and I love his posts.
Sorry. I should have put a smiley face in there or something.

8. Sorry, I'm being defensive...
I thought you were saying that, like Bev, Will gets lots of posts by having phony/catchy threads full of smoke... That would have not been a nice thing to say. :D

9. Leader?
I don't know about that. We at truthout are actively trying to render the mainstream news media irrelevant, because they deserve it. Other sources, like the awesome RawStory for example, are doing the same thing. Does that put us in a leadership position? Depends on where you're standing. We're just trying to shake the tree and get the truth out there.

19. As a news source, yeah. But I'm hoping that Arnebeck & The Alliance..
for Democracy will take this issue and run with it.

26. You guys are fairly unbalanced, at least, unlike the MSM
who have been reduced to being corporate shills.

Kick their asses and make them thank you and ask for more!

Leaders? Leaders? We don't need no stinking leaders.

But we do need a good read, solid information and someone with the ability and the courage to ask WTF, and for that on you we can depend.

11. Maybe we should watch the parking meters instead. This might
be one of those movements that does best without any leaders. That way, everybody has to do their share without waiting for the corporate media to anoint a spokesperson to be taken down at their convenience.

24. I have said this so many times on DU, I know I sound like a
broken record, but...
the Presidency does not belong to the weed that would be king and it does not belong to Kerry or to Gore.

IT IS OUR PRESIDENCY, we vote to let a candidate hold the office in trust for 4 years. That does not give ownership to the "winning" candidate as the office is OURS. Since the shits stole our votes and altered our will, it is up to US to fight to recover what is OURS.

The office doesn't belong to any one man, it belongs to the people. The man who claims to have won our votes has broken our trust. IT IS UP TO US TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND PUT THE MAN IN OFFICE THAT WE VOTED THERE.

(rant over)

15. Bingo
The pressure on the Senators didn't come from one person, but from every person involved. Nobody needed to stand up and say LO, VERILY I SAITH DO THIS AND THUS AND THAT AND SO. People just fuckin did it. So this is what democracy looks like.

28. but Will... it could be interesting
just have to define which kind of leader (forgive the following spelling errors (if any) all done phonetically):

Leader Board (sports)
Lieder-hosen (funky traditional alpine pants)
Liter-of-Cola (pepsi or coke? tab or fresca?)

Just think of the ways you could serve the cause as a "leader/lieder/liter" :evilgrin: :hi:

16. I find his writings as good or better
then anything on the Internet and certainly better than anything in the major press or TV (except maybe Krugman). We must help him rise to the top where he belongs.

22. We need a list of trusted internet news sources.
Kind of like a rating system, especially for newbies. I know I could use some help in this area.

25. "Leader"? Sort of a simplistic view of what Will does.
We are very fortunate to have multiple people who are out there investigating, speaking, writing, and keeping us informed. Will has certainly been and will doubtless continue to be one of these vitally important activists. "Leader"? That suggests to me an image of a single person followed by a herd of followers. That's not what's going on here.

I admire, respect, and am grateful for what Will is doing. And I'm looking forward to much more of it.

30. Oh yeah, soon he'll be shouting at Conyers for underachieving,
ingoring our messages, and accusing the Saudi's of writing the software for Diebold. Soon he'll be looking for donations for designer tin foil for his new crown.

You're going down Pitt, down.

p.s. do you have a dog?
