What To Do About Election Fraud

To quote one of the greatest artists of all time, Aretha Franklin,


“YOU’D BETTER THINK.”


The evidence is too precise to ignore.

No way George Bush won either election, and this one, based on results, is the dirtiest we know about.

I've lived in Arizona since 2000, having lived in New York City for 25 years earlier. New Yorkers are one of the fastest growing demographics in this state. There is no way I can see that Arizona went for Bush. Not if there was an honest count. Turns out, AZ is one of the dirtest election states in the Union. Red states and Blue states is a divide and conquer illusion being put in our face. Now is the time to unify and take a stand for truth.

The real battle at the moment is in Ohio. If there is anything you can do to help out in Ohio, do it now, please. RecountOhio.org. is running ads on the situation.

There are planned gatherings of citizens on January 3- 6, 2005 around the United States, telling Congresspeople and Senators to not certify the election , due to evidence of voting fraud.

Take the time necessary and think about the impact this corrupt government is having on our lives. Our environment is being trashed, we have failed to fund successful, clean and "free energy" alternatives, our children are being drugged and left behind based on international scoring standards, our food supply is polluted with many chemicals that cause harm, medicines designed to heal are killing in record numbers, many of our citizens are in prison for non-violent crimes, our transportation infrastructure is falling apart, and worst of all, America is still going around the world killing innocent people in the name of making ourselves safe. A corrupt system is producing a corrupt world.

It's time to clean it up. Do your research about "voting fraud" and "stolen election." Support those in leadership positions to clean up the voting process. Contact your elected and appointed officals about the need to restore integrity to the voting process. Enlist the participation of your crew. Create joy in the process. Here's your broom.

1. Research your own list of links that you have found with evidence of election fraud. My favorite is still the Boston Globe report that maps reports of voter fraud by state. To stay up to date, do daily news searches for (or sign up for news alerts on) “election fraud” or “voter fraud” or “stolen election.” It’s not just a United States problem.

To find the truth one has to look deeper than the corporate media , though they are coming around to reporting the truth, led by the Countdown crew on MSNBC.

The best source for information is currently found on the web. For example check out Bradblog for the video of a testimony about election fraud. It is dangerous to pretend not to know what is really going on now. BreakForNews, Black Box Voting.org, Citizens for a Legitimate Government, MoveOn.Org, Common Cause and others are keeping folks up to date on what’s really going on and how to make it better.

2. Support folks who are working on the issue of election fraud. Especially by participating in e-mail campaigns, filling out as many pro election verification pages as you can. Participate in surveys that give total election overhall as an option. As you do your research support those whose work you respect. There are many links throught this election series of blogs for consideration, as well as the election related links on the right.

The next steps in the process need to happen before the election's congressional approval on January 6, 2005.

The Congressional Black Caucus challenged the president’s approval in January 2001 based on evidence of election fraud. They already have enough to make their case from the hearings in Ohio. They have asked that rather than send them support, contact others and tell them about election fraud.

It was reported over the Christmas Holiday that John Kerry is getting into the spirit of true democracy and preparing to challenge. It is time to take our country back from the rule of the special interests. There is so much dirt here that I’m now questioning election results going back much farther than this presidential election, including various congressional and primary races.

Support and encourage your senators, congresspeople, electors and others to stand with the C.B.C. in their challenge of the election certification. There is a sample Declaration of Intent link with ideas for what to do when contacting your elected and appointed officials.

3. Contact your elected and appointed officials via e-mail. Tell them how you voted and demand an accurate count of the votes. If they can’t prove it they have to re do it. Quick on line contact lists that you can send updates to between now and Jan 6th can be found for your

Congresspersons
Senators
Governor
National Association of Secretaries of State.
Electors

There is a lot of great information available on the web. Copy, paste and forward web addresses, articles, quotes and ideas you have - or find of interest - to those in positions to restore integrity to the voting system. Send the folks in charge something new every day about election fraud until the truth is restored. E-mail and web forms make it easy. Remember to verify what you read. These are the days of disinformation. Don't get caught up in what happened to Dan Rather who unknowingly used some of the disinformation out there without realizing it was the rotten apple thrown into the barrel. People of the Lie are tricky.

4. Enlist your media, friends, family, neighbors and prayer groups in the work of restoring integrity to our voting system now. It’s time to Lift Every Voice And Sing.

Be careful with the media. They were reporting George Bush won Arizona before the voting machines were open, let alone the votes counted.

The times have changed. In the industrial age it was easy to hide the process from the electorate. Those in power could say whatever they wanted about how the election came out. Stories about voting problems could be buried in a controlled media that even had the choice of what candidates could be heard in a national forum like the presidential debates.

But in the information age, the truth razor can set things right.

A Course In Miracles – Workbook – Lesson 66. Paragraph 10, 6-8:

On one side stand all illusions.
All truth stands on the other.
Let us try today to realize that only the truth is true.

The truth is there is election fraud. The government is "spoiling" votes and that's not right. Only an honest count of the vote should award the job of President of the United States of America. Anything less we are setting ourselves up for an unnecessary slaughter. That’s just a plain stupid strategy.

5. Create Joy - while spending less. Live from what is truly important in life, including but not limited to health, love, truth and freedom. Share the joy of truth restored to the voting system and the problems it will solve. The truth will put the right person into office. The time for new and dynamic thought has arrived. We have ways to solve the problems we are facing like AIDS, peak oil, honest government and health care. We need to be working positively on this and other issues, like solving the crack induced crisis caused by the CIA’s distribution of the drug in the 1980’s, i.e. Iran Contra , so save your contact lists for post election season.

One more thing. Watch for the Lord to walk through this election process. Great change can come quickly based on a series of ordinary miracles, like truth. If the truth is that George Bush won the presidency based on the votes, so be it. But in the words of Bruce DePalma, 'truth has a ring to it which is unmistakable to those in search of it.' I hope Michael Moore is making a movie on this election fraud situation too.

I am praying for divine restoration of the voting system. I am praying for every soul, every day. I am praying for us, the One, that is all.

Peace on earth to people of good will.

Electoral College Campaign

The United States government can’t prove the accuracy of the vote, with phrases like "spoilage of some votes" (mostly Black American votes), discouragement of some voters, voting tapes found in the trash can in Florida, and the president’s state election co-chair is the Secretary of State , the main voting cop in Ohio. Since they can’t prove it, they are going to have to re do it, unless we find another way.

As citizens, we must demand an accurate accounting of the vote. We hire an accounting firm for an awards show, and fail to achieve an accurate counting of the vote. We can count a dollar down to a tenth of a penny (like at the gas station) but can’t produce an accurate vote count with a verifiable paper trail. We can’t pretend to be that stupid. We the People have the Power to get the Electoral College to do the right thing. With the web, we have the tools.

The Electoral College met and the president was declared the winner. Yet, there is positive movement whereby the New York Times, the Washington Post, Congressman John Conyers, Rev. Jessie Jackson and most importantly, Sen. John Kerry are now looking into the matter of voter fraud. It isn't over until Congress approves and Sen. Kerry could be the one senator to stand with the Congressional Black Caucus come president approval time.

There is still time to make a change by demanding an honest count of the vote. Research what's going on and talk about the results.

The Electoral College (EC) says "There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law requiring electors to vote in accordance with the popular vote in their States." Some States have such requirements. It’s time for a campaign directly to the members of the EC to restore integrity to the voting process. Many states electors are not bound to the voting results.

Gathering the evidence (much is available on line) that this election was corrupt, and making a case to the electors to vote the Will of the People, and not the Will of the Government, could solve our short term problem, our corrupt election system. There is much to do after this.

Campaigns in the dirtiest states are those with 15 or more alleged incidents per 100,000 votes on the Boston Globe list. They include (state-electoral votes) AZ-10. GA-15., IL-21, LA-9, MO-11, NJ-15, NY-31, PA-21, TX-34

Where I live, Arizona, we only have 10 electoral voters (EV), but an on line campaign of citizens contacting their EV, over the country may make a difference. It doesn’t matter if they went Bush or Kerry. That’s not the point. Each voter needs to make it known to their EV, how they voted and demand an appropriate reaction.

This idea is based on information from the Electoral College site:

"No Legal Requirement

Electors in these States are not bound by State Law to cast their vote for a specific candidate:
ARIZONA - 10 Electoral Votes ARKANSAS - 6 Electoral Votes DELAWARE - 3 Electoral Votes GEORGIA - 15 Electoral Votes IDAHO - 4 Electoral Votes ILLINOIS - 21 Electoral Votes INDIANA - 11 Electoral Votes IOWA - 7 Electoral Votes KANSAS - 6 Electoral Votes KENTUCKY - 8 Electoral Votes LOUISIANA - 9 Electoral Votes MINNESOTA - 10 Electoral Votes MISSOURI - 11 Electoral Votes NEW HAMPSHIRE - 4 Electoral Votes NEW JERSEY - 15 Electoral Votes NEW YORK - 31 Electoral Votes NORTH DAKOTA - 3 Electoral Votes PENNSYLVANIA - 21 Electoral Votes RHODE ISLAND - 4 Electoral Votes SOUTH DAKOTA - 3 Electoral Votes TENNESSEE - 11 Electoral Votes TEXAS - 34 Electoral Votes UTAH - 5 Electoral Votes WEST VIRGINIA - 5 Electoral Votes "

The point is not, despite my personal issues, to get the president out of office. The point is to restore truth to voting. So if the game is to be played in the Electoral College, lets go to the stadium. From there the game moves to congress. I suspect the Will of the People is coming forward and there is no stopping the truth.

From the Electoral College site’s FAQ’s:

"Must electors vote for the candidate who won their State's popular vote?

There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their States. Some States, however, require electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote. These pledges fall into two categories -- electors bound by State law and those bound by pledges to political parties.
Which States bind electors to popular vote results? Refer to Electors Bound by State Law and Pledges to find out."

Based on the evidence of vote fraud throughout many states in the union, it's wrong to make a decision as important as who will be the next President of the United States of America on a lie.

'Tain't fittin. It just 'tain't fittin.' The truth needs to be factored into the decision.

Kerry's concession.

John Kerry is an old lawyer who knew the concession speech didn't matter. It may have helped whoever is rigging the elections to put their guard down a bit, which leaves room for the rest of us to rise. From the Electoral College site:

"What impact does a candidate's concession speech have on the Electoral College process?
None. A candidate's concession speech does not impact the States' duties and responsibilities related to the Electoral College system. On December 13, 2004, the electors will meet in each State to cast their ballots.
The Supreme Court has held that the Constitution does not require that electors be completely free to act as they choose and therefore, political parties may extract pledges from electors to vote for the parties' nominees. Some State laws provide that so-called "faithless electors" may be subject to fines or may be disqualified for casting an invalid vote and be replaced by a substitute elector. The Supreme Court has not specifically ruled on the question of whether pledges and penalties for failure to vote as pledged may be enforced under the Constitution. No elector has ever been prosecuted for failing to vote as pledged.
Today, it is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate. Electors generally hold a leadership position in their party or were chosen to recognize years of loyal service to the party. Throughout our history as a nation, more than 99 percent of electors have voted as pledged."
The names of the electors are posted

Here's a sample e-mail structure that can be used to contact your congressperson, senator, governor, media, friends, family, neighbors and prayer lists.

Subject:

I voted for _____________.

Text:

As a _______ voter, you are advised that I voted for ________ in the 2004 Presidential Primary.

Attached is the supporting documentation that I think you should look at to make your decision as to the true will of the people in our state.

(insert your strongest links and ideas, or copy your favorite from this article.)

I know you will do the right thing and restore the will of the people to government.

Your Name, Citizen

(copy everyone you can think of - make it a topic of discussion)

There are many pre written letters through these links if that's better for you. I think it's got to come from your heart. Articles and evidence that ring true to you. Just write it once and copy everyone you can. Make it a topic of holiday discussion. A gift we can give ourselves. The truth.

Also, contact your Secretary of State.

National Association of Secretaries of State.

Please forward to whomever could add ideas or actions to this one. Follow your heart as to your response. An e-mail, phone, letters, more web pages to the electors would at least bring attention to the problem of election fraud in the land of the free and the home of the brave. As folks copy their correspondence to their electoral representatives to the media, elected and appointed officials, and, most importantly, to our neighbors, We the People can send a message to the world that we did not elect this man in the first place.
Prescott Bush, the president’s grandfather, was Hitler’s main money man in the U.S. Like Hitler brought Germany to its knees, we are in the same danger because of our policies.
As a result of our faulty election system, we have gone into Iraq, killed at least 100,000 innocent folks, took their oil and other resources without fair compensation, while calling ourselves protecting America. I am ashamed to be an American. It's time to pump up our working to put out the oil fire that is consuming us. We didn't start the fire, but we sure have to be the ones to put it out.
There is no logical reason for millions of folks to have lost their jobs, health care, homes, credit ratings, lives and most importantly, freedom. It’s time to do better than that.
We can do better than that.
