The BEST advice I ever got from a Freeper. In all seriousness...
Unfortunately, you can't read it, although it was once in this thread. The poster left us too soon... :(

The BEST advice I ever got from a Freeper was:
"Don't you think we should just focus on the issues and the candidates in the upcoming elections, and not worry about election fraud?"



Isn't that GREAT advice? It must be -- there are soooo many people who are following it.

What the advice did for me, of course, was to help me understand that just about *ALL* of my efforts should be directed at getting the citizens and candidates and elected officials around me to "worry about election fraud." Ensuring free and fair elections is a necessity no matter what actions the Rethugs do or do not take. Right?

And here is my reply to her: "It doesn't matter how great our ideas and candidates are if, when we go to the polls, some of us are excluded (voter suppression) and others of us don't have our votes recorded or counted correctly."

I think about Perfectlady often and wonder whether she knows just how deeply her advice has affected me. It has given me much resolve to write, call, and speak in public forums TO WAKE PEOPLE UP.

I am thinking of her tonight because of THIS joker:


And THIS joke: Republicans predict victory despite polls

SEE THE PICTURE IN MY SIG LINE ?!?!?! What are you doing about it? You CAN take action - everyone can! Inhibiting Election Fraud in 2006: Simple. Not easy. Very, very important.

2. Sounds Like An Admission of Guilt to Me
Your Freeper has just acknowledged that Election Fraud is happening.
