Be Ready, Plan to assemble, if necessary. Paula Revere by: Karita Hummer Cross-posted from Progressive Blue http://www.eenrblog.com/showRec.do?diaryId=3018 Mon Nov 03, 2008 at 18:12:41 PM EST

If you have said, never again, what will you do if they try to steal the election once again. No More Stolen Elections has a plan of action, all ready for us to follow, easy as 1, 2, 3.. Follow the steps, one by one.This is what I received from them in my Email account this morning. From No More Stolen Elections http://www.nomorestolenelectio... WHAT WE CAN EXPECT, WHAT WE MUST DO Tens of millions have already voted. How many have already been turned away? On the eve of Election Day, one thing is already very clear: Our system of elections still does not work. In this election we have again seen evidence of a well-organized, partisan voter suppression effort involving purging of voter rolls, voter intimidation, voter misinformation, and polling place, voting machine, ballot, and pollworker shortages.* In this election, as in 2006, 2004, and 2000, already in evidence are vote flipping, the inability to conduct paperless recounts, and machine malfunction.* And we are again seeing an explanation being prepared for how the losing candidate actually won; in this case, we are supposed to believe that ACORN committed voter registration fraud, that the polling gap between the candidates is closing, and that in the end, white voters simple won't bring themselves to vote for an African-American candidate. As for what we will witness tomorrow night:* Expect the theft of a landslide victory in the presidential race. The announced results may still be convincing. But those results will not show the same level of mandate that the people voted for.* Be prepared for the possibility of a contested presidential election. McCain continues to insist, all evidence to the contrary, that he can win tomorrow.* Expect the theft of at least one, potentially many, U.S. Senate and House seats. Under any of these outcomes, democracy is denied. We must be ready. We must be organized. WHAT TO LOOK FOR TOMORROW At No More Stolen Elections!, we will be looking for, and reporting back to you, specific voting rights violations: * Vote suppression in the form of voter intimidation and polling place, ballot, poll worker, and machine shortages. * Voting machine problems involving vote flipping and denied recounts. * Exit poll manipulation and the possibility of a concerted effort to force the winning candidate to concede. WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO In the next 24 hours, please take the following three steps: 1 - PLAN TO ASSEMBLE ON WEDNESDAY - Go to our website and look for a Voter Assembly in or near your community. If you don't see one, organize one. Go to: http://www.NoMoreStolenElectio... 2 - TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT THE POLLS - Tell the media to report the truth on Election Night: http://www.nomorestolenelectio... 3 - REPORT VOTING RIGHTS VIOLATIONS - Report any voting rights violations you are aware of: http://www.nomorestolenelectio... Frederick Douglass said, "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. "Thank you for your refusal to submit. p.s. -- Almost all of the funding for this campaign has come out of the operating reserves of Liberty Tree, the sponsoring 501(c)3 organization. Since we sent out our first and only fundraising appeal on Thursday, we have raised just over $6,100 dollars from your generous contributions, and are one third of the way to our fundraising goals.

Block the Vote is the Republican Strategy according to RFK, JR and Greg Palast + their comic book

Block the Vote is the Republican Strategy according to RFK, JR and Greg Palast and not so funny comic book by: Karita Hummer Cross-posted from http://www.eenrblog.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2975 Tue Oct 28, 2008 at 04:08:23 AM EDT

Vigilance before the election. Electoral Reform after the election. This fight is about OUR Democracy. Join it; it is worth saving. Sign the Pledge of Action now at: http://www.nomorestolenelections.org/subscribe Heads up!! Bobby Kennedy, Jr. And Greg Palast have a not so funny comic book on vote purging and caging, but passing it around before the election might help us get the last laugh. http://www.stealbackyourvote.org/ In a Rolling Stone Article, Kennedy and Palast also tell the amazing story of how the Supervisor of Elections in Las Vegas, New Mexico found himself purged from the voting rolls on Super Tuesday during the Primary Election. About 20% of the voters in that County were said to have been purged, compared to 10% at large in the state, a high enough number to make any Democracy loving citizen cringe- and cry! Kennedy and Palast claim there is much to suggest that voter suppression has been a Republican solution to the dangers of democracy for their party since the days of the first Reagan election. See: http://www.rollingstone.com/po... For example, from a Reagan election year, they quoted a statement by Paul Weyrich, whom they describe currently as "a principal architect of today's Republican Party". At the time, Paul Weyrich was said to have "scolded evangelicals who believed in democracy", saying. "Many of our Christians have what I call the 'goo goo' syndrome - good government," said Weyrich, who co-founded Moral Majority with Jerry Falwell. "They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. . . . As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."" http://www.rollingstone.com/po... More below the fold...

Yikes!! How scary can it get? For now, we must be vigilant. Right after the elections, we have to pursue electoral reform legislation with teeth, hopefully, with a filibuster-proof Senate. For the last laugh, get the Kennedy-Palast not so funny comic book available for a donation at http://www.stealbackyourvote.org/ It can be downloaded there at the site. This is a comic book for sharing, for sure, or get their equally not so funny movie, at http://www.stealbackyourvote.o... This all hot off the presses. Go for it. Karita Hummer Edwards Democrat, insistent on electoral justice.
