3. I have ask the question many times concerning the 2000 election coup d'état
ware the signature of only one Senator was needed to allow the recount. I had one DUer explain that All Gore didn’t want the recount to continue either. I don’t know if that’s true or not. Either way it spelled serious and grave problems. And in my opinion every elected official had a constitutional duty to see it done.

Once every four years the American people become the deciders by there vote, not the elected few, when that doesn’t happen any more neither does our democracy, and that is exactly what has been going on since 2000. Those who allowed the coup should not now be in office, but they are and voters cheer them on. Maybe Americans don’t care about Democracy any more because life is too good, but now many are beginning to worry that there going to find out what fascism really feels like, although I don’t think enough are waking up. This country has been going in the wrong direction for a long time. Politicians keep promising a new direction but we keep going in the same direction… Down… OK the brakes are being applied were slowing and have to stop before we can start in the other direction… Up… But will that happen before we crash and burn?
