Dirty Tricksters Caught on Video: CBS Evening News Edition


by: Erik Love
Mon Dec 03, 2007

before Thanksgiving, I posted my video showing the illegal tactics that the Republicans are willing to use in order to get signatures on their so-called "Electoral College Reform Initiative" - a ballot proposal that in reality is yet another election-stealing Republican dirty trick. And now, my video has just been featured nationally on the CBS Evening News.

In just a matter of days, the 2008 presidential election may actually be decided. In California. By progressives like you.

Because of your grassroots and netroots activism, the GOP's California ballot initiative campaign to steal the White House -- what the New York Times called an "elaborate dirty trick" designed by a "shadowy group" to "do serious damage to our democracy" -- is under significant pressure.

Time is running out on these dirty tricksters and we need your help to finish them off. With signature-gathering deadlines looming to place the so-called "Electoral College Reform Initiative" (ECRI) on the June ballot, we've caught Republican dirty tricksters red-handed on video.

1. Great job catching the thugs in action.. Keep up the good fight, kster
Now if only that video could hit MSM.

Oh where oh where is Tweety when you need him:rofl:

Seriously, there is only one man for the job, KO.

I don't think they could accomplish this without a fight. Of course we ALL know how the USSC would rule.:grr:

4. That calitics.com page seems to be all about begging for money.
What ever happened to the subtle donate button?

5. We are up against a Crime Family that has unlimited funds
so in order for us peons to continue to write the truth, we will need funding. :shrug: Am I Correct or am I wrong?

This article does seem to be ALL ABOUT TRUTH, NO?

7. The Dems are taking in more money than the Rs. This initiative takes from candidates
and makes Dems spend money on fighting it. That is what it is all about, since it won't pass.

I would use the talking point, Rs want to win with 45% to shame them.

6. Rs could win the Presidency in 2008 with 45% of popular vote!!!
If this were to go through, Republicans could hypothetically win the Presidency in 2008 with 45% of the national vote. Kerry got 5.5% of the national votes in CA, Bush under 5%.
