Look out, a huge rolling stone is headed towards us!
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 01:59 PM by garybeck
Evidently Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is writing an article about election fraud for Rolling Stone. This could give us a shot in the arm.

from Ring of Fire, 1/28, just after interview with MCM:

RFK:
this is a real important story. I'm actually putting it together now for a piece for Rolling Stone magazine. Here's the essentials... Walden O'dell is the president CEO of Diebold and he is also a Bush Pioneer ... and he promised in a letter to all Diebold executives and major funders back in 2003 that he would deliver the Ohio election to Bush. There were 700,000 voters on the Diebold machines and hundreds of affidavits that when they pushed on the touchsceen machines for Kerry it would register for Bush............. ...and the purpose of the Help America Vote Act was not to help America vote, it was to help America purchase Diebold touchscreen machines.... ...it's scary and I think it's the biggest story in our democracy today."

Hold on to your horses, we're gaining steam. This should be a great help!

6. Oh, this is good news, which I needed! Jon Stewart's producer said he
wouldn't have MCM on to talk about his book unless there was a big story in MSM. guess Rolling Stone isn't quite MSM,huh? but it will hit a whole demographic that hasn't been hit yet.

23. Great news! It makes spending a whole day in a warehouse copying ballots
from Nov 2 worthwhile. We are going to prevail! We have the truth on our side.

8. Here's #5, on to Greatest. K&R.
Hope the article is up-to-date. O'Dell is no longer in charge of things at Diebold is he? There's a new (mis-)management team in there I think.

9. "biggest story in our democracy today."
Couldn't have said it better!!!!! This is why I've lost hope a little lately. I figure if nobody cares if we have accurate (or even slightly accurate) elections, then how can we ever hope to achieve ANYTHING??? The only people who win elections will be the people, Democrat or Republican, that THEY want to win. That's scary!!!!

14. "this is a real important story."...
...There is no story more important than this. If we (the people) don't get the ballot box back, we're fucked. There just isn't any way, working within the system, to displace the Neocon hold on power without the ballot box. GOOD LUCK and THANKS!

20. Historical Analogy re Election Fraud
An article in the 2/9/06 London Review of Books, reviewing a book on the barrister who prosecuted King Charles I, begins:

"When I read for the English Bar in the 1960s, the legal history lecturer stopped when he reached 1649 and explained that he was now moving directly to 1660, because everything that happened between the trial of the king and the restoration of the monarchy was a nullity."

Wonder if the future will say that everything that happened in America between Supreme Court decision in 2000 and either impeachment or 2008 was also "a nullity."

Feels like a nullity...
