You know about 2000 and 2004. While there's no definitive proof of a widespread conspiracy to defraud voters, there's little to inspire voter confidence for 2006.

You've visited the slickest satire sites, perused the polls on voter confidence, and perhaps even watched CNN's segment devoted to voting integrity. Wouldn't it just be the cruelest of ironies if so many passionate voters stayed away for lack of confidence?

Fear not. Campaigns are cropping up that give voters the tools to combat potential fraud; when the government won't police itself and the press won't challenge them, the citizens will have to stand up. And stand up they (you) will.

When you sign up with the The Ruckus Society, they'll text message you if you're needed at your local polling place to respond to suspicions of fraud. Watch the video for more...

Does a rabbi wear a beanie? You bet your ass. How else do you suppose the rethugs will hold onto power? Why else are cheney and turdblossom giggling at each other? The "election" results are a foregone conclusion. If the American people don't like the old bamboozela this time around, there's always martial law for "enemy combatants", since Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitatus are dead, as is our democracy. Those detention camps weren't built for nothing.

In 2004 I campaigned heavy, wrote letters, knocked on doors for MoveOn etc.... all because I thought it just might make a difference. Well, here in FL counties that had 350 registered voters, showed over 4,000 votes for Bush, others showed 1,000 votes subtracted from Kerry. So pardon me, but I don't have much faith in the system. Already, with the early voting here in FL, votes cast for Senator Nelson on the touch screens are registering a check mark for Katherine Harris. As a nation we lack the political will to change this. If these discrepancies were happening with ATM's they would be corrected immediately. We've had six years to get it right! Our troops fighting in Iraq aren't fighting to protect democracy, because that's been gone since before the war, they're fighting to put money into the pockets of the military industrial complex and multinational corporations that believe people of all nations are just pawns on the chest board.

WITH A FLICK OF A FEW DEFT FINGERS, REPUBLICANS WILL ALTER THE VOTES IN THEIR DIEBOLD VOTING MACINES. DEMOCRATS WILL YELL ABOUT IT BUT WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO. BACK IN 2000,,, WE WERE TAKEN OVER BY FASCISTS. THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE 911 ATTACKS AND THEN USED THIS HORROR AS AN EXCUSE TO GO TO WAR KILLING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS MORE. REPUGS USE HUMAN AS POLITICAL PAWNS THEY CONTINUE TO KILL INNOCENTS. TOO MANY DEMS ARE PART OF THE INNOCENTS BUT MANY OF THEM ARE WITH BUSH LIKE SEN. BILL NELSON OF FLORIDA. HE MUST BE REPLACED BY THE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.

Whether it's that drooling moron Reagan and Iran / Contra or Republicans stealing elections, it's TREASON. Plain and simple. Those responsible should be sought out, imprisoned, tried and when found guilty, given a SWIFT trip to the gallows.

YES the corrupt fascist nazis will steal another election and then declare marshall law, if there is any disagreement from american slaves they'll be put in internment camps as prison workers or shot and gassed at the riots.
America is a corrupt dictatorship police state and has been for years,as if you didn't notice all the ridiculous laws are changed to "legally" control the subjects. If americans try to storm Washington there will be heavy casualties,at least some still have guns but no heavy weapons. Like you had no idea what your regime was up to ?
Who in their right mind would trust this criminal illegal regime ?
Ignorant citizens are easy prey and at least half of america is really f*cking stupid.
