American democracy hangs by a thread in Ohio-What Democracy?

[Editor's note: the following letter is in reference to http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2004/986

I agree we need paper trails, and that Blackwell and Co. manipulated the results in various and obvious ways, - openly for those who want to see it.  However, the Anybody But Bush'ers seem to be filled with if only's.  If only Nader had not run in 2000, if only Kerry had won, if only the election were fair Kerry would have, if only the "little people" would just listen to them, -the ABB'ers.  If only guys like me would not point out the obvious as well-that we need to start first with the little people and not with the elitists.

Votergate: Unchristian Act of Treason Against the United States of America

Aside from Joan Lesko Giardina’s excellent letter to the editor on August 19 and Tom Zeller’s unconscionable attempt (in his Nevember 12 article) to discount the preponderance of “Votergate” elections rigging evidence, virtually nothing has appeared in the “NY Times” that would indicate that the American people are truly indignant over the theft of their votes. The fact is, however, that they are. That is the reason that the people’s votes are about to be recounted in Washington and Ohio. What every true American knows ­ and most every Ukrainian, Canadian, Latin American, African, Asian, and European definitely knows happened ­ is that the US elections were rigged. 80% of America’s votes were counted on machines supplied by ES&S and Diebold, the CEOs of which are strong Republican contributors that possessed the wish of delivering the vote to their pre-selected candidate, G.W. Bush. On November 2, that’s exactly what they did. The always-highly-reliable exit polls declare that the people voted for John Kerry. The villains of “Votergate” placed an unelected candidate in power, thereby committing an act of high treason against the

The Corporate Attack on Organic Agriculture

What could be wrong with farming in concert with nature—eliminating toxic agrichemicals and the use of genetically engineered crops?  Well, plenty if you are a CEO at Monsanto, Dupont, or any number of other “life-sciences” companies that have invested in an escalating smear campaign aimed at discrediting organic farming.  Promulgated by such well-funded surrogates as the right-wing Hudson Institute, Competitive Enterprise Institute, and the American Chemical Society, these multinational corporations can’t stand that consumers are voting with their pocketbooks because of their discomfort with conventional farming practices and have turned organic food marketing from a small, eclectic niche into the fastest growing segment of the food industry, with over $12 billion in sales this year.

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win."  The agrichemical industry is definitely itching for a fight.

Ohio and Florida recount of votes lacks media exposure

Why hasn’t the media given the present activities to get a vote recount in Ohio and Florida legs (http://www.gregplast.com)?

Did you realize that the Election 2004 in Ohio and Florida has been seen to be Fraudulent and activities are being conducted to get a recount and investigation of these elections?

More waste from the 'reality-based community'

AUSTIN, Texas -- "The aide (a senior adviser to President Bush) said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." -- Ron Suskind, New York Times Magazine, Oct. 17, 2004.

             This is the quote that now has some noted bloggers identifying themselves as, "Proud Member of the Reality-Based Community."

             Of all the problems that arise from having an administration that chooses not to believe in reality, the one most likely to have irretrievably disastrous consequences is environmental.

Just before November 2, Dr. Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman published "Twelve ways Bush is now stealing the Ohio vote" at freepress.org. 

Widely circulated throughout the internet, the piece proved prophetic.  But what really happened in Ohio has been "locked down" by the major media.

If another stolen presidential election slips by undocumented, we can only tremble for the future of American democracy.

Working here in Columbus, we've thoroughly documented the dark corners of this tragic election.  We're now turning it all into the definitive book and documentary film.

Warriors in Town

To Voters (and Those Who Should have if they didn't),  

Due to recent Voter Disparities and Fraud in Columbus/Cleveland Ohio (and elsewhere throughout America) a Congressional Forum was held at Columbus City Council.  Rep John Conyers, Rep Maxine Waters, Rep Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Rev Jesse Jackson, and Rep Ted Strickland came to Columbus to hear Testimonies regarding the Improprieties in the Black neighborhoods. 

It was a good turn out (could have and should have been more Black people in attendance).  Rep John Conyers, a long time Fighter, Rev Jesse Jackson (who has been here a couple of times in recent weeks)  and Rep Maxine Waters...a Mighty, Strong Warrior, who continues to Stand Up, Speak Up and Show up for the People, were here to Listen, Ask Questions and Take Notes.  I was glad to see them.  I Appreciate that.

Though, some may say the Election is over, there is nothing that can be done.  But I'm glad there is an investigation.  We can't sweep these things that happened in our Black neighborhoods be swept under the rug.  I Testified and gave a first hand account of what happened to me and my family members.  I was Happy to.
