Please Help Send Karl Rove to Jail
From Secretary of State Project - Friday, August 8, 2008 In 2004, plans were put into motion to crack down on voter registration drives in poor and minority communities, suppressing votes and stripping citizens of a constitutional right. Evidence points to Karl Rove as the mastermind behind this plan and it's time he was held accountable. Join the Secretary of State Project and thousands of Americans in urging the House to take a stand against Rove today. Don Hazen Executive Editor, AlterNet.org  Karl Rove has gone too far. It's time to make him pay. The GOP's master trickster has his fingerprints all over a dirty scheme to suppress our votes. It's exactly the kind of scheme that the Secretary of State Project was formed to fight. And right now, we have a unique chance to hold Rove accountable for his acts. Click here to help send Karl Rove to jail. For those not following Rove's story, here's a bit of background. In 2004, Justice Department lawyers started getting strange instructions from Washington -- crack down on voter registration drives. But not all registration drives, mind you; just ones that registered poor and minority voters. The idea was to harass progressive organizations and keep poor and minority citizens from getting to the polls. Many Justice Department lawyers, Republicans and Democrats alike, balked at these unscrupulous orders. They (rightly) refused to carry out a partisan witch hunt. And wouldn't you know it, Washington started cracking down on THEM -- firing a host of them and passing up others for promotion, in what came to be known as the U.S. Attorneys Scandal. But who gave the vote-suppression orders in the first place? All signs point to Karl Rove. A long trail of evidence indicates that Rove cooked up and executed the whole scheme. To uncover the truth, the House of Representatives has launched an investigation. They sent Rove a subpoena. He ignored it. Repeatedly. Now, the House is considering a measure to hold Rove in contempt of Congress. Last Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee voted, 20-14, to hold Rove in contempt. The vote now goes to the full House. If found guilty, he could go to jail. No, it's not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start. Join hundreds of thousands of Americans urging the House to take a stand against Rove and his dirty tricks. By holding Rove in contempt, we'll send a loud and clear signal to all Bush's cronies -- America's elections must be free and fair. Voter suppression will not be tolerated. After you sign the petition, consider making a contribution to the Secretary of State Project and our candidates. Support from donors like you helped us raise $500,000 in 2006 and win 5 of our 7 elections. Help us continue building the movement against voter suppression, stolen elections and dirty tricksters like Karl Rove.

TELEVISION, A WEAPON OF WAR, AIMED AT YOU!
Tuesday, February 19, 2008 By Your-Rights.com #1 -WATCH- How the Media is Hiding the REAL War in Iraq If you view television in America, you will see MOST ANYTHING except WHAT IS GOING ON IN IRAQ! On television, most of the time, you see only WHAT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA WANTS YOU TO SEE! NOTE: This article has been updated with new links! Please watch all nine segments of this short video compilation that shows how the main stream media sanitizes and filters what we know. It's doesn't last very long, please take the time to watch. If you aren't sure about what is going on... read about social engineering and PSYOPS, then sit down and do some serious thinking. It's time that you learned the TRUTH! If you took time to watch these video's, you have seen some prime examples of how the media has glamorized the war and sanitized and censored what you know. As the video's have shown, even if they run a correction later, the damage has already been done. The myth perpetuates. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FEARS THE PEOPLE you have democracy, when the people fear the Government you have tyranny.  The government and the main stream media carefully select what you may see on your television. They are very careful to limit or censor anything that may cause a PUBLIC REACTION.They attempt to limit Freedom of Speech indirectly, by limiting where people can exercise free speech. Just remember, these same ''objective'' and ''unbiased'' media networks tell us what they want us to know about ''their'' presidential candidates. Any other candidates, such as Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul, are minimalized or IGNORED ENTIRELY, whenever and wherever possible. DO YOU KNOW... How many people are running for the Presidency of the United States of America? You might be surprised at THE ANSWER. How is it that you probably have never heard of these other candidates? Is it really a fair election if any one of these other candidates would be much better than the candidates the main stream media supports? Is it still A SECRET HOW THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA HELPED WITH PRIOR VOTE FRAUD? It is up to you... all of us, to make sure that elections are fair and that our votes are counted accurately. We must devise a publicly funded system where every person who desires to run for president has just as much a chance at becoming president as any other candidate. We need PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS! Is it fair that only the most wealthy of candidates get national exposure and those who are not wealthy remain unknown?

"Once this (latest Bush Executive Order) becomes law, he has all the tools Hitler and Stalin had to keep their respective populations in utter subjection to their will." Read the complete article: 30 days to absolute tyranny ...EVEN LESS TIME NOW!!! WE DARE NOT SPEAK ITS NAME written by Rev. Rich Lang of the Trinity United Methodist Church. Rev. Rich Lang is one of the speakers featured in the video! The Bush Administration has both the inclination and the power to cancel the 2008 elections A powerful Senate committee wants government regulators to find cutting edge technologies that can censor audio and video that flows over the internet -- bye, bye investigative reporting by alternative media and this web page you are now reading, also! "First they came for the terrorists but I wasn't a terrorist so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then they came for those suspected of terrorism, but I certainly wasn't a suspect so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then they came for those who defended those who were suspected of terrorism, but I wasn't defending such people so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then, one day, they came and began to "suspect" me, so I stayed very, very silent and went about my business. And that is how I lost my soul." Here is more information about these issues: Friday, July 20, 2007 JEFF KOSSEFF The Oregonian Staff WASHINGTON -- Oregonians called Peter DeFazio's office, worried there was a conspiracy buried in the classified portion of a White House plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack. As a member of the U.S. House on the Homeland Security Committee, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure "bubbleroom" in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents. On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED. "I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio says. Homeland Security Committee staffers told his office that the White House initially approved his request, but it was later quashed. DeFazio doesn't know who did it or why. "We're talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America," DeFazio says. "I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee." Bush administration spokesman Trey Bohn declined to say why DeFazio was denied access: "We do not comment through the press on the process that this access entails. It is important to keep in mind that much of the information related to the continuity of government is highly sensitive." Norm Ornstein, a legal scholar who studies government continuity at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, said he "cannot think of one good reason" to deny access to a member of Congress who serves on the Homeland Security Committee. "I find it inexplicable and probably reflective of the usual, knee-jerk overextension of executive power that we see from this White House," Ornstein said. This is the first time DeFazio has been denied access to documents. DeFazio has asked Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., to help him access the documents. "Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right," DeFazio said.

Olbermann: Bush, Cheney should resign
From MSNBC - Tuesday, July 3, 2007 By Keith Olbermann Keith Olbermann wants Bush and Cheney to resign. Your-Rights.com Opinion: Bush and Cheney will never resign. Even if they are both impeached, the senate probably won't be able to come up with the two-thirds majority to have them removed from office. Bush and Cheney ARE CRIMINALS! It's OBVIOUS!!! We might not know about everything that they have done, but we have enough evidence to impeach both of them! It doesn't matter what might happen in the Senate, the House needs to uphold their duty and impeach the criminals! If the Senate can't get the needed votes to have the criminals removed, then we voters know what is going to happen in the 2008 elections! There are going to be some new faces in the Senate! Before Bush and Cheney could ever possibly be removed from office by a vote from the Senate, Bush will likely have already envoked his presidential directive giving the Office of the President dictatorial powers. According to his directives, at most, he only has to consider what the other branches of government want. The directive gives Bush the ultimate authority over what would happen from a removal vote. Bush is a criminal and he MUST be charged and prosecuted for his crimes! What we know about Bush's criminal activities is only just scratching the surface! Think about all the illegal 'classified' stuff they surely are doing! The 'READ MORE' link is the Keith Olbermann video. Watch it! Read More [ permalink ] |

Our Imperial Emperor, Lord Bush! Heil Bush! Heil Bush! - Hitler George Bush Movie Documentary
Friday, June 15, 2007 By Your-Rights.com Some information in this article is INCREDIBLY HARD TO BELIEVE. Unfortunately there is much DOCUMENTED, VERIFIABLE evidence. CLICK THE LINKS to see the sources. These English men seemed to think that the Government should be beholden to its citizens and not the other way around. These days, we cannot even imagine a government whose number one priority is its citizens. Apparently, those English men felt so strongly about this issue that they decided to commit treason! Can you believe that? Surely they considered the consequences of their actions. In law, treason is the crime of disloyalty to one's nation. Here's an excerpt from their letter of intent to commit treason: "WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." As Americans, we owe our Freedoms, Rights and Liberties to these men! Freedom is ANYTHING BUT FREE! President Thomas Jefferson said, "When the government fears the people, you have liberty. When the people fear the government, you have tyranny." Today, some people think it is a good idea to trade Liberty for Security! Do these misguided people remember what Benjamin Franklin said? "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." "There ought to be limits to freedom." -- George W. Bush, May 21, 1999  A U.S. legislator warns of Bush plot to merge Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. It doesn't take long to figure out what's going on. Bush is pushing for a North American Union which will effectively make the US Constitution null and void by superseding it with new laws.Here is George H.W. Bush's perspective on this. As you can see, Bush Sr. had A LOT to do with this! Part of this plan seems to include making the Office of the President a dictatorship! In the 109th session of Congress, they actually attempted to repeal the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution through H. J. RES. 24! This would effectively allow the use of fradulent elections to enable Bush to remain in power forever! Are you ready for Emperor Bush?  Remember Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith? Is not what Bush is doing following the same plot?! Professor Robert Pastor says the North American Union is JUST A CRISIS AWAY. Pastor "believes a new 9/11 crisis could be the catalyst to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada." ( Dr. Robert A. Pastor served as co-chair and a member of the 2005 Council on Foreign Relations' Independent Task Force on the Future of North America.) Indeed, it does appear that we may already have Fascism and Tyranny instead of Liberty and Freedom! It may be difficult to recognize fascism without first being familiar with the 14 Characteristics of Fascism. All the evidence really makes it appear that Bush is trying to become a dictator. Bush even said he wants to be a dictaror not once, but twice! "You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier... So long as I'm the dictator." -- George W. Bush, July 1998 Compare Bush to Hitler. It appears Bush is following this same path to power, attempting to become a dictator. Those who have studied Hitler's rise to power know that Hitler did not use force to become a dictator. Remember, George H.W. Bush's father (George W. Bush's grandfather) had A LOT to do with funding Hitler's wars! ( Video ) "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison (1751-1836) "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -- Goethe (1749-1832)  "What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage." -- Bruce Barton (1886-1967) "The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do." -- Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) Watch this video from the BBC, it exlpains how Al Qaeda doesn't exist! We are continuously being lied to by the U.S. Government! The question really shouldn't be whether or not Bush would try to become a dictator. The question should be whether or not he can. Can Bush, using the laws and directives which are already in place, become a dictator? It is very difficult to find evidence supporting the statement, "No he can't become a dictator." It is relatively easy to find evidence supporting the statement, "Yes, he CAN become a dictator." The movie ZEITGEIST, an excellent documentary, clearly demonstrates how Bush and his gang use scare tactics, social engineering and social control to trick people into trading their liberties for promises of security by enacting laws such as the Patriot Act, the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, the Military Commissions Act, etc. Many people are unaware that by losng our liberties, what we have now is not security but Fascism and Tyranny. Despite the opposition, Congress is trying to restore some of our rights. Please help Congress reinstate Habeous Corpus so that American citizens ( this includes you ) can't be held without charges or without representation of an attorney. How can they justify making these laws and directives, granting the Office of the President such unprecedented authority?

Why is it ILLEGAL to Grow the Number One Biomass Producing Plant for Biofuels - UPDATED
Friday, June 8, 2007 By Your-Rights.com For a bio-fuel, hemp is tough to beat. It has so many other uses that when combined with making bio-fuel, it is a great alternative to sucking carbon emitting fuel out of the ground. Some facts to consider: 1) When plants grow, they capture carbon in their tissues. When they are burned, they release the captured carbon. 2) Coal fired power plants have been invented that capture carbon emissions. If hemp (or other plants) were used with the same types of carbon capturing systems used in coal fired power plants they would effectively clean the air of carbon by having a NEGATIVE effect on the natural carbon cycle. (Negative is GOOD in this case.) However, bio-fuels may not be the answer to solving the energy problem. Bio-fuels have the potential to starve people for at least two reasons: 1) Farmers may replace food crops with bio-fuel crops which could drive up the cost of food. (some byproducts from using hemp to make bio-fuel can be used to make food, so hemp might not be so bad); and 2) When farmers grow food crops such as corn for bio-fuels, the demand for bio-fuel will drive up the cost of the food crop making it expensive for consumers to use for food. Here are a bunch of news articles about this issue. Notice that the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting this, so it might be propaganda. However, the logic behind it seems viable. When President Bush unveiled his plans for a hydrogen-powered car he failed to mention that to produce the hydrogen, he was going to be using energy generated by burning oil, coal, and natural gas! The best way that I have seen to solve the problem of providing hydrogen-fuel energy for transportation (and other) needs is by converting water into hydrogen using a particular method invented by Stanley A. Meyer. There have been many attempts to do this. Most use more energy than the net result the hydrogen provides. However, Stan Meyer succeeded with a method to create more potential hydrogen energy than the energy conversion cost. Please watch these short videos about this man's invention. For the skeptics, please note that Stanley Meyer has received multiple patents for the technology he invented. The U.S. Patent office does not give patents for bogus claims and hoaxes. This has GREAT POTENTIAL!!! According to the information presented in the videos, NASA is looking into Stanley Meyer's inventions as an alternative power source! Stan Meyer - Water Fuel Cell - News Story Water Car Inventor Murdered Stanley A. Meyer - Teaching Water Power!!! Stanley Meyer - Water Fuel Injector Equinox - It Runs on Water (50 min.) with introduction by Arthur C. Clarke It Runs on Water The story of Free Energy (digg) The only downside to Stanley A. Meyer's invention, as you can see from watching the video's, is that the established energy production markets will suffer tremendous losses if free energy is readily available for anyone to create. Free energy will put them out of business! No more record breaking profits for Exxon/Mobil!!! This is obviously WHY THIS MAN WAS MURDERED -- to keep his technology out of the hands of ordinary people! Take a minute to compare the effect the availability of legitimate online music downloads has had on the big recording industry record labels... HUGE corporations, such as Tower Records, have went bankrupt! If free energy were available to everyone... AKA, not controlled by the huge oil companies, then those same oil companies would surely face bankruptcy! This is a comment from Digg.com making a very good point: "How can you think that energy companies would embrace free energy?!?!?!? Thats like saying that Microsoft embraces Linux! "If there was a machine that created free energy, then that would put every energy company on the planet out of business, and I'm sure we are all aware of how huge that market is (Exxon-Mobil is THE largest corporation in the US, with a yearly profit of 36 billion dollars, more then 3 times the amount of the number 2 company, walmart) If you ran a $36 billion dollar a year company, not to mention the thousands of other disgustingly rich energy companies out there, I'm sure you would do A LOT to protect that money from free energy, A LOT." We obviously need to do something to release the control the energy production industries have over the way energy is produced. This is documented fairly well in the movie, Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) This is a movie everyone should see! You can rent this movie at NetFlix. Information about why it is ILLEGAL to grow Hemp!
"The woody 'hurds' remaining after the fiber has been removed contain more than SEVENTY-SEVEN PERCENT cellulose, and can be used to produce more than 25,000 products, ranging from dynamite to Cellophane." -- This quote is from the February 1938 issue of Popular Mechanics. Marijuana Production in the United States (2006) (PDF) From the report: "Marijuana is the largest cash crop in the United States, more valuable than corn and wheat combined. Using conservative price estimates domestic marijuana production has a value of $35.8 billion. The domestic marijuana crop consists of 56.4 million marijuana plants cultivated outdoors worth $31.7 billion and 11.7 million plants cultivated indoors worth $4.1 billion." Global warming, electric cars, biofuels, etc... Why is the United States government so backwards in its thinking??? In 2005, the United States made over ONE BILLION DOLLARS from it being kept illegal! However, they spent $69 BILLION DOLLARS on the drug war!!! "Anyone concerned about the failure of our $69 billion-a-year War on Drugs should watch this 12-minute program. You will meet front line, ranking police officers who give us a devastating report on why it cannot work. It is a must-see for any journalist or public official dealing with this issue." -- Walter Cronkite Here is a great movie to watch!

Internet Doomsday Creeps Closer - Big government pushes for total taxation and restriction on the last great outpost of free speech
From infowars.com - Wednesday, June 6, 2007 By Steve Watson SUPER IMPORTANT: Tell the FCC to Save the Internet from Dictatorship! Monday, July 16, is the LAST DAY to tell the FCC your story!!! Recent proposals in the U.S. Congress are taking a huge swipe at freedom in America once again by aiming to impose multiple different forms of crippling taxation and restriction on users of the internet. Several bills were introduced last week that could see all manner of new forms of internet taxation become a reality before the end of the year. Make no mistake, the internet, one of the greatest outposts of free speech ever created is under constant attack by powerful people who cannot operate within a society where information flows freely and unhindered. Both American and European moves mimic stories we hear every week out of State Controlled Communist China, where the internet is strictly regulated and virtually exists as its own entity away from the rest of the web. The Internet is freedom's best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate their populations under a surveillance panopticon prison.

Reporter Arrested on Orders of Giuliani Press Secretary
From Jones Report - Tuesday, June 5, 2007 By Aaron Dykes & Alex Jones Manchester, NH - Freelance reporter Matt Lepacek, reporting for Infowars.com, was arrested for asking a question to one of Giuliani's staff members in a press conference. The press secretary identified the New York based reporter as having previously asked Giuliani about his prior knowledge of WTC building collapses and ordered New Hampshire state police to arrest him. Jason Bermas, reporting for America: Freedom to Fascism, confirmed Lepacek had official CNN press credentials for the Republican debate. However, his camera was seized by staff members who shut off the camera, according to Luke Rudkowski, also a freelance Infowars reporter on the scene. He said police physically assaulted both reporters after Rudkowski objected that they were official members of the press and that nothing illegal had taken place. Police reportedly damaged the Infowars-owned camera in the process.

Impeachment Events Are Spreading Like Wildfire
From a28.org - Tuesday, April 24, 2007 Congressman Dennis Kucinich Opens a Can of Whoop-ass! Please Digg this! BREAKING NEWS: Washington, DC, April 24, 2007: Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has just introduced Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney. Article I The Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests. Article II The Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda in order to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests. Article III In his conduct while Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the the United States, and done so with the United States' proven capability to carry out such threats, thus undermining the national security of the United States.

ARREST Bush's Escalation With Your Voices
From PeaceTeam.net - Thursday, January 11, 2007 Support BINDING Legislation NOW To Stop The Escalation In Iraq Please call your members of Congress tollfree right now at, 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803, and tell them to vote for S. 233/H. Res. 41. ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/no_escalation2.php A couple days ago we called for preemptive resolutions to oppose the unpopular Bush escalation proposed for Iraq. There are now at least two measures pending to do just that. In the Senate, Ted Kennedy has introduced S. 233 which would prohibit the White House from spending any federal funds on an increase of troop levels in Iraq without express Congressional consent. On the House side, Marty Meehan's H Res. 41 would require a parallel authorization. All we have to do is speak out in sufficient numbers and these bills will become law. The overnight polls show that those numbers should definitely be there, if we can just inspire our friends and neighbors to take vocal action. Dennis Kucinich is also bringing forward a resolution to actually mandate a phased withdrawal and we will support that too when it is introduced. With regards to the Kennedy bill, Harry Reid was quoted yesterday as saying he would "prefer" a non-binding resolution as way of sending a "message" to the president. Despite his recent letter advocating against the escalation, on the point of what actual action to take Harry Reid has it wrong. The only message non-binding resolutions would send is that Congress lacks the courage to confront the incorrigible bullies in the White House. We might as well set up a special conference room in the Capitol for public hand wringing. By defying absolutely the entire rest of the government not including his few remaining quislings, George Bush is deliberately FORCING a Constitutional crisis. We have no choice but to stand up to him directly and immediately. There were many entirely false premises in Bush's awkward and uncomfortable speech last night. But central to it all was the assertion that the Iraqi people want us in their country to bring them our wonderful democratic system of government. That time is long past. Absolutely every poll there demonstrates they overwhelmingly want us to just leave. The entire world knows George Bush invaded Iraq for the SOLE purpose of stealing their oil resources. Talk about bringing our kind of government to Iraq, they are about to try to force through a new hurry-up hydrocarbon law to cut up and encumber their oil fields that nobody in the Iraqi Parliament there has even read yet. Isn't that the way they used to pass legislation here in our own country, in the middle of the night without even a fair read? It's not just Democrats, there are many Republicans who increasingly alarmed by the new Bush lurch in the direction of sheer madness. Chuck Hagel was quoted as saying, "This is a dangerously wrong-headed strategy that will drive America deeper into an unwinnable swamp at a great cost." That's an understatement. Although all the pre-speech marketing was about some kind of temporary "surge," Bush used that word not one time in his prepared statement. Instead he painted a picture of at LEAST another year of ever increasing violence, backed up with barely veiled threats to wage full scale war on BOTH Iran and Syria. All those air craft carriers steaming to the Persian Gulf are not going there for R & R. They even have a shiny new naval commander installed in charge of Iraq now, to direct the launch of the cruise missiles. The plain facts are these. The only reason why the Iraqi people endured the charade of purple finger elections was they thought if they indulged us in that we might actually leave. As fed up as the American public is with our military presence there, the Iraqi people are even more so. Bush has made an unholy alliance with a stooge (al Maliki) of some of the very Islamic militants (al Sadr) they have been rattling sabers at for the last four years. And when he warns that the Iraqi government will fall without being propped up by our uranium spitting gun ships, it is because it is too corrupt and infiltrated to survive on its own. As horrific as the casualties have been so far, under Bush they are just starting. ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/no_escalation2.php We must raise every possible voice to call for support of the S. 233 and H. Res 41 right now. These must pass by overwhelming margins. We have very little time. Bush did not even wait to make his announcement to start deploying the new troops. We have an outlaw administration bent on turning a disaster into an utter debacle. Bush must be stopped. And nothing can arrest him but your voices, to pressure your members of Congress to act against him without equivocation or fear. Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours.

electionline Weekly - November 16, 2006
From electionline.org - Thursday, November 16, 2006 electionline Weekly - November 16, 2006 I. In Focus This Week Election Day with Chuck and Tom M. Mindy Moretti They were the longest of lines and they were the shortest of lines. There was coffee being sold; there weren't enough places to sit down. They had a 90 minute wait before them; they had less than a 10 minute wait before them. One was going directly to vote center heaven and one, well, was not going that way. Chuck Woodford and Tom Koetting, college buddies from West Virginia University, now live about 60 miles apart in Colorado - Chuck in Denver and Tom in Larimer County. Although they've shared many similar experiences in life - college, career, family - what they experienced on Election Day 2006 couldn't have been more different. Washington Park Recreation Center, Denver Once inside the gym, Chuck got into another line to check in for voting. There were about 10 people left in front him before it was his turn to check in when suddenly, all activity seemed to halt inside the polling place. After advancing no further in line for several minutes Chuck and others in began to sense there was a problem. And what a problem it was. The system to check in voters had gone down citywide. About five chairs were offered, but not nearly enough for the many people in line. As time wore on folks waiting in line began to talk. When one voter took out his cell phone and placed a call, a volunteer quickly came and told him that talking on phones in the polling place - even with the voting halted - was discouraged. "As you can imagine after waiting so long in line we all did start casually talking to one another, just flippant comments from time to time, nothing too deep or personal. One man in front of me said, 'We should be using paper ballots.' I called him a misguided visionary and we had a brief laugh at that," Chuck said. Time began to drag on and Chuck, who has a two-year old son, marveled at the overall patience and good will of his fellow voters, especially the children accompanying their parents. "I was pleasantly surprised at how tolerant we all were of the computer delay," Chuck said. "Now, granted we were about 15 feet away from the crashed computers so we could watch the progress as it happened. I'm sure it must have been very frustrating out in the hallway wondering what was going on." During his more than 30 minute wait for the computers to come back up, Chuck said he only saw one voter walk away - a gentleman who ripped up his voter card and threw it in the trash as he left the building. Once the computer system was back up and running, Chuck quickly made his way to the voting machine where he cast his ballot and headed about his day. "After check-in, I immediately went to a voting station and cast my ballot with no trouble whatsoever. One of the volunteers escorted me to the station and talked me through the whole process, what buttons to press, how to change my mind and how to cast my vote once I had finished marking my ballot," Chuck said. "The voting process itself was flawless; it was just getting to that point which was obnoxious." So, after all of that, what does Chuck think of the new vote center concept? "I understand the vote center concept as it cuts down drastically on the number of volunteers needed but, seriously, how do you not then stock up on as many laptops and check-in volunteers as you possibly can at each center?" Chuck asked. "I absolutely will not think twice about voting next time, I'll just be a bit smarter as to when I go vote. And I'll make sure I have a good two-plus hours to do it." Total time to vote: 90 minutes. Ace Hardware, Harmony Road, Larimer County Tom and his wife took time off from work so they could vote together. They chose the vote center in the shopping center because it was close to their home and had plenty of available parking. This wasn't the first time Tom had used a vote center - he voted at the same shopping center in 2004 - so he knew what to expect. The first time used a vote center he "thought it was heaven. What smart person figured this out?" When Tom and his wife arrived, the line was about 40-people deep, but moving quickly. Tom noticed that while a man was attempting to sell coffee to voters, the line was moving too quickly for anyone to stop and buy any. Tom and his wife were checked in quickly, voted and were out the door quickly. So impressed by the experience, Tom said has crossed party lines to support County Clerk Scott Doyle (R), the man who implemented vote centers in Larimer. "Voting was as smooth as glass in America's best voting county," Tom said "Scott Doyle is a great clerk. I voted for him again. Not all of my votes went to the left. Sometimes good government is just good government." Total time to vote: 15 minutes.
Doug Chapin The 2006 vote opened the door to changes in future elections as voters picked new secretaries of state in 12 states - including changes of party in seven states. Though the jobs have a number of other facets, many of the campaigns for the position focused extensively on election administration issues, especially in states where incumbent secretaries were defeated for re-election:
In four other states, the incumbent's bid for another office opened up the seat to a party switch. While Democrats succeeded in their bids to retake Congress, battles for top election posts resulted in a tie in four states:
In five other states, outgoing Secretaries were replaced with candidates of the same party:
Further changes are also possible as new governors, mayors and state and local officials make their decisions about retaining or removing the men and women responsible for managing elections at the state and local level. II. Election Reform News This Week
