Our lives – yours and mine – have more worth than any goddamned corporation. To say that the Supreme Court made a awful decision on Thursday is an understatement. Not only is it an obscene ruling, it is an insult to our humanity.

Make no mistake about it.  This Supreme Court decision is not party-neutral in its implications.  Corporations will spend vast fortunes to get rid of politicians who do not represent their interests.  This is a huge blow to the Democrats (except those who sell out).  But, the Democrats deserve a good ass kicking or two as a result of  Obama abandoning public financing in 2008. Maybe I’ll work up my outrage sometime after Obama, and the people who supported him, are long out of office.

“Karma is a bitch”.

They count your absentee vote with the machine!  Also, there is no chain of custody to track whether your vote was even counted or not!  Like jbjd says, there are so many ways to manipulate the final vote count.

The only way to change that is to count the votes at the precinct, not moving the ballot box to another location, on election night, overseen by citizens and party leaders, and posting the results so that the citizens can document the final count in that precinct.

You know the saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  Unfortunately, even the cures that are available are not sufficient to offset cheating. 

Thank you for your appreciation.  However, I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again…just like the citizens who participate in the Tea Parties, it’s going to take the same kind of citizen passion, participation and commitment that they have, if we want to take back our elections.

We hope that the leaders of the Tea Party movement will recognize that they and the election integrity movement have a great deal in common and should join forces!

Now that would be a sight to behold and a force to be reckoned with — Americans of all political persuasions and walks of life uniting to save their democracy. 

If we could do that, I just know the Founders would be proud.

Many thanks for the referrals!  Public oversight by citizens is the ONLY way to prevent fraud on the scale it is now on because of the secrecy.

The German Court recognized immediately that without citizen oversight (which cannot be achieved with the voting machines, period), we can never prevent fraud that totally disenfranches the citizens. 

The goverment has been very successful in convincting the Americann people that they are the “criminals” and, therefore, should be prevented from seeing their votes counted, because the machines can be trusted but people cannot.

Amazing, the American people immediately recognized that corporations aren’t persons; however, when it comes to elections, it’s the people who can’t be trusted but the machines made by corporations can be trusted.

Why the disconnect?

Believe it or not…I actually went out shopping to buy tofu.  I’m so weird, I know.  But I’m not allowed to eat soy anymore, because it has naturally occuring Estrogen, but I told myself on this day, I was actually going to celebrate with Fried Tofu. lol  I had to go buy some.  Don’t I lead the exciting life? lol

Again, thank you all so much.  I feel like I can actually plan again instead of taking the wait and see approach.

do you really believe the voters were the one’s who put obama in office?
