Let's have a Boston Tea Party & throw the FRAUD MACHINES

in the damn water!

Last year there were several threads and no action that were great ideas.

We must get the grass roots to get out the news that "the machines are still going to be hacked unless we all take to the streets."

Please someone, there are several sites that have delightful plans but we just keep talking and fighting over terms.

The public doesn't understand how MAJOR this problem of Election Fraud is to Democrats.


Here is just one example....

4. That's a good idea. I'm all finished subverting today but

I like it. :)

6. I will look for the original link which
explained it much better.

The little DIEBOLD Machines would be made out of cardboard/plastic? and tied to a string so it will not hurt the environment.

You throw it in the water and then you pull it out after the photo op. :)


It is such a great idea for say the 4th of July because it could be a family and friends opportunity to express their feelings and let the world know more about Election Fraud.

If you live near a river,ocean, pond any location will do but it would be best if done where a lot of people could be invited.

On the 4th of July everyone could dress in red/white and blue.
Children could have little drums ,it would be a POSITIVE event and make the statement that America needs to hear.

7. The Link above explains the idea
The "real" machines are not used, it is a staged event with Mock Machines.
Click the link above for all the details.

:patriot:

Click the link below to remind everyone how important it is for the grass roots to learn about Election Fraud!

We are preaching to the choir when we just complain to each other.

Let's DO something that is Grass Roots User Friendly!

Help and Keep kicked please.

If we keep it kicked someone will realize how serious we need to be.

Thanks!

:patriot:

8. Thanks for the K& R ~ here is another important link
to inspire all of us.


I'm am so serious about this but I can't do it alone.

If there could be a leader in every county, a grass roots organization, it would be fantastic.

We could have a DU Meet Up and a DU organizing committee for each location.

Can we get some volunteers that could work it out by email?

10. A team of two people per county if possible to lead
that way, if one person has a problem, the whole project doesn't go south.

I'd be willing to work San Francisco with a buddy. This is a great idea.

We could also incorporate a vote using HCPBs -- "What was your favorite part of this event" or something. And we could hand count them IN PUBLIC. Aka, voter training. :evilgrin:

14. BINGO! sfexpat2000 that's the spirit I'm talking about
I would be willing to do Los Angeles if I could get 3-4 DU partners.

We could throw all those FRAUD MACHINES in the Pacific Ocean!

Thanks so much for your positive input.

28. The Voter Receipt System
Here's one potential stragegy...

The Voter Receipt Program

Make Your Receipt (MYR)

Stop Voting Fraud Dead In Its Tracks Now!


If the GOP-controlled-Congress and state and county officials continue to refuse to purchase voting machines that issue a receipt, as is likely, we can still stop election fraud in 2006 and 2008 dead in its tracks by simply issuing our own election receipts. The 2006 election will only have Senators and members of the House as well as some important State positions.

What's required is this: you and each voter will fill his or her own receipt out and hand it to the Democractic Party Poll Watcher, designated the Vote Receipt Holder at each precinct in America. If exit polls indicate a problem, or if poll workers and watchers see evidence of vote counting misrepresentations, the receipts can be counted and if they differ from the "official" results of the precinct, county, or state, individual candidates and/or any voter or group of voters or party can file a lawsuit immediately--based upon the receipt count as evidence that all the votes were not counted! Also, the voter receipts will be evidence of a crime for the FBI or state officials to investigate. Sign up if you're willing to help!

Remember, whether by this means or some other, we must be able to document/verify our votes in the next election, no... matter... what... else... we... do!

11. And, I'd like to call it The Andy Stephenson Memorial
4rth of July Picnic. Why not use the 4rth to help voters stay current with their elections?

17. The new Declaration of Independence
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a people to tell its government that the people have no faith left in the elections that seated the bastards, the people must, by all rights, duly retain fair and proper elections or shall be forthwith turned into a dictatorship.

Being as that a dictatorship is what now bears down upon us, the people must take up, in their arms, the machinery that seated the bastards, and throw said machinery into the nearest body of water so that said dictatorship doth drown in a sea of democracy.

19. That's the spirit BEFREE!
"throw said machinery into the nearest body of water so that said dictatorship doth drown in a sea of democracy."

That's what it should be about ~ taking back our right to HONEST ELECTIONS and HONEST GOVERNMENT.

15. K&R. I like the idea of using a real machine, maybe a discarded one.
The Diebold machines are pretty clearly pieces of junk, according to Forbes Magazine and most computer geeks who've looked them over, so maybe one or two could be picked up somewhere and actually thrown into Boston Harbor and San Francisco harbor, Lake Michigan (no shortage of Sequoia machines that are perceived as pieces of junk in IL right now, etc.

But considering laws against dumping, etc., the effigy would serve.

16. We could have flyers that are clearly

understood that have graphics and information that will help people get the word out about ELECTION FRAUD!

We would need to have a graphics committee to work out something extra special!

24. We Can Make It Happen All Over America July 4th!

Please someone with some influence make it happen. :patriot:

We keep preaching and bitching to the choir!

Unless you are a computer geek you can not possibly understand all the discussions about this issue.

The Tea Party is so "user friendly" and will fire up the masses to DO SOMETHING about ELECTION FRAUD.

Every thread that I read about ELECTION FRAUD involves some one going into Court to say that this happened in a Primary or that happened and that the "machines didn't work."

Wake Up DU!

The MACHINES are working fine for the RepubliCONS and they own the Supreme Court!

This is MAY 2006, the clock is ticking and the RepubliCON MACHINES are still in circulation!

We MUST have a Boston Tea Party!
Please send this post to someone that can DO something about it!

Please email me if you have any influence or leads to what we can do.:patriot:

25. Whaddaya get when you throw all the machines into the bay?
Election reef-form.



I like this idea and think it is likely to be most effective in small communities because it will get more play. The better it looks visually, the more coverage it will get.

29. Boston tea party, my election official would just ignore it
Believe me they don't care what any of us want here in my county and they don't pay any attention to anything in the press. Is there anything we can use to put the touchscreens out to pasture for good? I mean get rid of them in real life?
