8. If a few key people were in jail - that would be a start
Delay

Frist

Rove

Limbaugh


They are on their way.

It would be great if they got more than a slap on the hand.

If they were put out of commission for a couple years.

11. It looks like the following will do it.
Indictments! Indictments! Indictments! Indictments!

How many of these numbnuts are going to be indicted? It looks like half the damned leadership is going to spending some time in jail.

14. Support the patriots who are working hard to win democracy for the US.
One organization that could use support is Election Archive, which can be accessed at <www.uscountvotes.org>.

They could use money to continue work analyzing the voting results, particularly in OH, NM, & PA, where the results are the most outrageous, especially OH.

There are many other organizations as well by now and many DU-ers who are working like crazy. I'm grateful everyday for these people.

If we're able to win some offices in the 06 mid-terms, it will be because of these people and the many others who are becoming aware and are doing all they can do to make people aware of the issue.

We don't have a democracy at present and we have to do all we can to get one.
