4. It may be time to start a city council revolution.
I bet there are a lot of candidates that lost that want to be sure their votes were counted accurately! Let's get them to ask election officials to prove it in a suspect place!

7. Exposing the Frawd in the the programs and tabulators is a way
to get rid of the machines and the systems which may be causing the theft. A losing candidate might have more standing to get a court to demand this. We have thousands of cities across the country that may just have had elections where this is an option.:hi:

10. Congrats Melissa, and thanks for all your efforts here!
Especially for picking up the Election Reform, Fraud, & Updates Thread. All of our individual efforts may seem relatively small in the present; but I DO believe, collectively, we are making history! And you, are a VERY important part of it.

12. Sportswriters RULE!
Most of what they write about is a waste of time, but it GETS PEOPLE'S ATTENTION!

Also, you can make the analogy that when the manager or coach (Bush) screws up the team (the government), you get rid of him. Sports fans understand this, even if they don't know much about politics or the issues. It might help to frame the debate in these terms.

As far as the election, how about when the writers vote on who gets into the Hall of Fame or the Allstar Game? Imagine if THAT vote was rigged and they put in some mediocre player with a lousy record! People would go ballistic! And the numbers don't lie, right?

Fair play and regulation is a key concept of sports. Maybe it's not such a bad idea for Congress to debate the issue of steroids. But someone has to connect the dots for the sheep.

If we can get them to talk about election fraud on that Paris Hilton show, then we'd really have something! Unlikely however since she is probably a large beneficiary of the Repuke tax policies, and it's on Fox to boot. But you get the drift.
