I have a degree in history and what I see happening to America is very distressing. In my opinion, it is too late. I fear the republic is destroyed. The election of 2000 was a bloodless coup; this last one was a cynical and methodical rip-off of those foolish enough (myself included) to hope we could regain our nation through the use of a ballot box. Diebold resolved that to corporate satisfaction.

The mindless puppet who has catapulted us into WW III has free reign to continue the madness for another four years. I predict Iran is the next target. In the meantime our young people will die, the national debt will continue to climb and our way of life is being destroyed forever. We now have a one party system; the checks and balances are gone.

At this point, I am looking to emigrate to Canada.

I appreciate what you are doing more than I can express in words. I HOPE the requests for Ohio recounts will make a difference, but I feel they will not. The courts will push them around for years.

Regards,
Marilyn Gjerdrum
